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

They have a real nasty history.

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 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.

Aryan Nation is more of a Christian Identity offshoot, not KKK. There were KKK members who did join the Aryan Nation.

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).

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

Capitalism is based on self-interest and self-esteem; it holds integrity and trustworthiness as cardinal virtues and makes them pay off in the marketplace, thus demanding that men survive by means of virtue, not vices.

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.

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.
