Sun on the History Channel: KKK and American NaziHistories

[StarshipTitanic]

Did anyone see those two programs? I watched the entire KKK one and the beginning of the Nazi history. The sporadic interviews with some hick Grand Dragon (then again, which ones aren't hicks?) really gave insight to how ignorant and stupid these people are. The way he talked about killing anyone who approached his family sounded exactly like some moron high school jock talking about his riced up Civic. What horrors the lack of reason and intelligence can spawn.

The little infants and babies dressed up in their stupid clown costumes made me feel horrible.

Given that it's the History Channel are you sure it wasn't some stock footage of children trick or treating as ghosts?

Hehehehe, yeah, I'm sure.

Yep, makes you wonder why we don't have licenses to breed...

The KKK dressing their children in their trademark Silly Robes???

Ah shit, I just remembered something. I'm moving to the Center of Florida. God save me...

[Darth Wong]

Hehehehe, yeah, I'm sure.

"Look at this pure white baby. It's the most beautiful thing in the world."

Did the interviewer explain to the donkey-fucker that the baby and every other human being on Earth are all descended from an African ancestor?

[Xenophobe3691]

Hehehehe, yeah, I'm sure.

That same "Donkey Fucker" (I'd use Raper, cuz that donkey sure as hell isn't consenting), probably went "Afri-mah-cuh? What the hell is that?!?"

[jinx]

here's an intresting thought. If klan member in question actualy did fux0r a donkey wouldn't that technicly be inter-racial breeding which he would be very much against?

Yeah, they have them come out the cross burnings, etc.

They are creationists, remember. They're "fighting" for WASPs.

No because donkeys are not a race, they are a different species

Nah, they'd tell you to stop with your Derwoodistic popery.

In a related note, the program estimated the remaining KKK members total to be around a few thousand.

They probably don't care - the Ku Klux Klan has always been an organization which appealed more to emotion than to logic.

In fact, the KKK never use any arguments for their beliefs other than half-assed appeals to tradition!

I've never had the dishonour of debating a Klansman, (not surprising since I've never been to America) but if I ever met one of these robed weirdoes, a discussion would probably go something like this:

ME: So, why do you promote racial segregation?
KLANSMAN: When the USA was founded, it was segregated.
ME: Can you provide any explanation why that was better than the ways things are now?
KLANSMAN: The USA was founded as a nation for The White Man, and it shall be a nation for The White Man.
ME: You are just repeating your previous argument. Are you also aware that you don't provide any logical support for your beliefs??
KLANSMAN: (embarassed) Uh, gotta go now.

[DPDarkPrimus]

You don't want to debate a Klansman. Their idea of a rebuttal would probably involve a baseball bat to your head. Accepting of free thought, they are not.

Double posts are annoying. Please delete.

Nope, I tuned it out when they showed the promos, saying that Neo Nazism
was responsible for the OKC bombing, Columbine and my meat spoiling
in the freezer.

[NapoleonGH]

columbine clearly was the result of crappy gun policy and a growing number of crazy americans (to note, if americans were generally sane enough to own guns, i would have no problem with them doing so, its just that more and more evidence shows that way too many americans are crazy and stupid, a bad combo) Dont see how neo-nazis or KKK had anything to do with it

Wast mcveigh one of those crazy anarchistic the constitution is evil and the articles of confederation were a better idea people?

[Darth Wong]

McVeigh was a white-supremacist ass-clown who thought that a race war was inevitable and that the government had been co-opted by the black-helicopter UN bogeyman, so it was his duty as a patriot to blow up a lot of innocent people.

I've never seen a Klansman in person (well, I've never seen one in robes; I may have passed some not in robes, it's impossible to tell). Out of curiosity, where in Central Florida? (Or is Boca where you went to, instead of coming from?) Actually, the NAACP probably wields more power around here than most other political groups.

I thought they merely were buffoons.

[Glocksman]

Some random thoughts:

Years ago, I used to work with a Klansman.
He was a nice guy until you brought up the subject of race and he once gave me one of their 'newsletters'.
The headline on this newsletter read 'Deport illeagle aliens'.

The image of a unified single Ku Klux Klan is a myth.

There's a bunch of groups that use similar sounding names that pattern themselves to one degree or another after the Ku Klux Klan that was founded in the aftermath of the Civil War (or the War of Northern Agression, depending upon your sentiments. )


In one of the books I read on the subject, a former Klan leader is quoted as saying that he got out because it seemed that half the 'Klansmen' he met were either undercover FBI agents or informers.

The Klan revival during the 1920's was strongest in Indiana.
The Klan controlled the governor's office at one point until a Klan leader named DC Stephenson managed to get himself convicted of second degree murder.
That incident marked the beginning of the end for the Klan's influence in this state.

They weren't very strong in my area of the state however .
Southwestern Indiana was heavily German Catholic, and the Klan hated Catholics almost as much as they hated blacks.

The only person that I have ever personally seen express racist sentiments in public without hiding under a robe and hood was this huge (about 6'5 and 320 lbs of muscle) biker type who had a t-shirt on with an image of a Klansman on a horse holding a torch and the caption: The original 'boyz in the hood'.

The program touched upon that. They splintered in order to avoid tax fraud investigations in the future.

There was a little bit of a Klan rally and they were wearing those shirts. I induced a groan-laugh.

[SyntaxVorlon]

I was in Jamaica when this aired so I didn't see it, but NPR was updating listeners on the situation of hate groups in the US.(Mostly white) Thank You Radio Mona, the difference is clear(The difference being that it is the only station that doesn't blare dancehall 24-7, though a few have some good old bob every now and then)
Oh and I'm back.

[Montcalm]

Dumb joke time.

Q: How does a white supremacist keep his racial purity.

A: He fuck his own sister.

[Peregrin Toker]

There's a bunch of groups that use similar sounding names that pattern themselves to one degree or another after the Ku Klux Klan that was founded in the aftermath of the Civil War (or the War of Northern Agression, depending upon your sentiments. )

Actually, the different Klan groups actually compete with each other in some cases, meaning that one of the KKK's worst enemies is itself.

They weren't very strong in my area of the state however .

Yep, during the 1920s the Klan's anger was directed more towards Catholics and immigrants than against black people.

Oh dear. Oh dear.
