How many times have you actually seen members of the Klan in their white sheets?
-
I saw them one time in NYS, burning a cross.
-
Live and in person? Once, back in the 50's.....and I live not far from a town that had a large sign stating "The KKK welcomes you to Kershaw."
-
The joke in Arkansas is that a klan rally is known as an Arkansas toga party.
We also have Oklahoma ballets.
And we have Alabama Cadillacs.
We put our Louisiana dime novels in our Arkansas briefcases.
-
Weren't members of the Klan, per se. The nitwits wearing the bedsheets I saw were the Aryan Nations queers up in the Idaho panhandle. Does that count?
-
Does Democrat Senator Robert Byrd count?
-
A week after I got to Ft Campbell Ky back in 1981 I had a free weekend and hitched a ride with the unit arms room guy to go to the local hobby shop to see what models they had to sell. We got as far as Gate 4 from the main gate and just outside the fence line was a group of KKK members standing in front protesting something. It didn't have to do with US on Ft Campbell but the loudest of them were all the women as we drove by.

That panhandle is a hotbed for the Aryan Nation.
-
Decades ago I saw a billboard in Wilkseboro, NC that had a KKK in full regalia, rearing horse, with "Welcome to Klan Country". That's as real as I've ever seen.
-
Does Democrat Senator Robert Byrd count?
Only if he was wearing his KKK dress uniform.
-
I saw a skinhead at Harbor Freight a few months ago.
Some years back when I was a restaurant manager I had a skinhead in the store threatening to kill some idiot urban cowboy that had been harassing his sister (who was actually a very sweet young lady, family notwithstanding).
-
Kinda like a snipe hunt! I've been invited!
-

Wow. How close?

They use cheap tools?
I love Harbor Freight.

In 1973, some friends and I were cruising around central Kentucky. Drove by a park in the late evening and saw a big bonfire in the distance. Thinking it was probably a music festival, we drove in toward it. Nope. It was a Klan rally of some sort. I whipped my Dodge Dart around as quick as I could and zoomed back to Lexington.
-
Living in DC at the time, back in the 90s, I went down to watch the fun when the Klan was supposed to march one weekend. Nothing happened; we later learned that something like 10 had shown up, no one wanted to go through with it, and the leader's mother was later quoted as calling him a "chicken" in the media.
-
Wow. How close?
Probably about 1/4 mile away.
-
I've met some before, knew one's son very well back in high school. They did sheet up for their little late-night get-togthers, and once in a blue moon there'd be a half-dozen of them dressed up in the paper protesting some damn' thing or other (Probably bussing, but since I rode a bus anyway to the county's one big consolidated high school, it was an issue with no personal effect on me whatsoever). I never saw any of them in sheets, though, in a first-person in-the-flesh sense.
-
One time. It was in SW Virginia and were in full dress.
-
I have only seen them on the news. That's all.
I think they are a myth :popcorn:

No. They're real. A klaven (is that the correct term?) is in a town about 6 miles from here. They don't do anything that I know of.
-
Has anyone see Black Panthers in real life?
-
I have never encountered the KKK, but I have read a great deal about them. They peaked in the 1920s and operated mainly out of Indiana. Yes, a non-Southern state. The KKK of the 1920s attacked and killed many Whites. They were seen as either alcoholics, bootleggers, or adulterers.

That's correct. The hung Blacks, too. And the town to which I referred is 6 miles from the Indiana border.

The KKK targeted many Blacks in the 1920s. Many Catholics, Jews, and European immigrants were targeted as well.

I think the Aryan Nation is an offshoot of the Klan.

Has anyone see Black Panthers in real life?
Yes...they were alive and well on my college campus back in the early 70's. NIU is 50mi west of Chicago. They were most noticable when I was a senior which would have been fall 73-spring 74. They usually walked in groups of at least 3 abreast... I would just step off the sidewalk and let them past. It was easier...they were big, I was not and more often than not, alone.
The Klan is still alive and well in E TN.

I thought they were an offshoot of Nazis. :???:

Don't forget democrats.

Aryan Nation is more of a Christian Identity offshoot, not KKK. There were KKK members who did join the Aryan Nation.
-
Don't forget democrats.
Yes, they were. A very well known fact.
-
I've traveled through Pulaski, TN more than once and have yet to see any
Democrats Klansmen in white robes.

I don't think they are walking around wearing their robes. :thatsright:

Every once in a while, you'll get some random street protest. Happens about once a month around here (usually some useless liberals or NAACP pot-stirrers).
-
Haven't seen em, but I have driven through Vidor, TX before. Creepy place that is.

I don't think Christians should have to be stuck with Aryans. In my mind they are not compatible.

Twice, in LaGrange, GA

Nope, that LaGrange is in Texas.

Aw hell, why not, one passed away last year and the other is dying of cancer now so I'll tell it.
25 or 30 years ago, there was a KKK rally in town. 2 of my lighter than Obama but darker than me at the end of summer friends, went to the KKK rally. They were laughing about being there and how nice and accepting some of the Klansmen had been. I knew they were both crazy but I had no idea they were stupid enough to go to a Klan rally. I said something or other to one of them about their going and the craziest one of the two explained, "It ain't much of a Klan gathering if you ain't got at least one nigga there.....and this one had two". :lmao:
I miss that fool. No matter how bad a day I was having, he could always make me laugh and lift my spirits.

Last time there was a cross burning in Knoxville was 1995.

I have seen on television elected Democrats that were members of the KKK. Does that count? What did the did the Democrats and their partisan shills that is the US media call him? Oh yeah the "conscience of the Senate". More like the KKK is the conscience of the Democrat party. I believe item #4 of the Democratic party platform is "keep the blacks on the Federal plantation."

Is this the same town that has a 50 year old billboard reading ******s out of town by sun down ????
Saw some interesting signs in Tenn. None said Sailors keep off the grass, or company's with a sign saying, Irish and Italians need not apply. But there were people that kept their sheets in the closet.
Up here it was French need not apply, all the French needing jobs took the Polish names they passed on to their kids. Just add a ski to the end of a name and get a job.
