It had restricted membership and operates through a close circle of buddies.\n\nIt was not secret. It just did not advertise publicly.\n\nBy the way, the KKK is still active. Look up http://www.stetsonkennedy.com/klan.htm

First check your Napolean Complex before you reck yourself!  Your not exactly living la viva loca ... please get back on your meds ...\n\nAlthough often still discussed in contemporary American politics as representing the quintessential "fringe" end of the far-right spectrum, today the group only exists in the form of a number of very isolated, scattered "supporters" that probably do not number more than a few thousand. In a 2002 report on "Extremism in America", the Anti-Defamation League wrote "Today, there is no such thing as the Ku Klux Klan. Fragmentation, decentralization and decline have continued unabated." However, they also noted that the "need for justification runs deep in the disaffected and is unlikely to disappear, regardless of how low the Klan's fortunes eventually sink."\n\nToday the only known former member of the Klan to hold a Federal office in the United States is Senator Robert Byrd, who says he "deeply regrets" joining the Klan over half a century ago, when he was about 24 years old. There are currently no known members of the Klan who also hold a Federal office.\n\nSome of the larger KKK organizations currently in operation include:\n\n•Church of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan \n\n•Imperial Klans of America \n\n•Knights of the White Kamelia \n\nThere is a vast number of smaller organizations. As of 2005, there were an estimated 3,000 Klan members, divided among 158 chapters of a variety of splinter organizations, about two-thirds of which were in former Confederate states. The other third are primarily in the Midwest region. \n\nThe ACLU has provided legal support to various factions of the KKK in defense of their First Amendment rights to hold public rallies, parades, and marches, and their right to field political candidates.\n\nIn a July 2005 incident, a Hispanic man's house was burned down in Hamilton, Ohio, after accusations that he sexually assaulted a nine-year-old white girl. Klan members in Klan robes showed up afterward to distribute pamphlets.\n\nSensitivity to the highly-charged topic of the KKK is in evidence at professional baseball games. Fans will sometimes post a letter "K" (the scoring symbol for strikeout) every time the home team pitcher strikes out a batter. Typically the letters will be spaced in such a way that no three consecutive K's are run together. Another approach is to have every third one be a backwards K, although a reversed K more typically denotes a strikeout in which the batter does not swing at the third strike.

You're right.\nThey're all the same person anyway, by all different names - kkk, pinkwhatever, misshaven, Olga - all one very sick person.

"Better" racists? Hope you lagging English skills. There was nothing good about either of them. I'm a German and I know what I'm talking about. If you mean, which was the bigger organisation, then it was the Nazis. We controlled almost the whole European continent and had big allies. We pretty much scared the living shit out of everybody on this Planet these days. Ask old people. Our enemies where shitting themselves. KKK is not even known that well in Europe and cant compare to the third Reich.

David Duke tried, but there was one that was actually endorsed by the Klan and won.  Calvin Cooledge.  They ran him in some souther states as Klan Kalvin Kooledge.  No joke, you can even check it out.  So yeah, America had a Klansman as president...ouch

no but i might be able to find some white ones, why do they have to be all black and why do they have to be called african american.\n\nTeddy Roosevelt would be mad at you

I for one am not, but sad as it may be some are still slave in their mind. They think of themselves as black first instead of a simple human being. Also, some non-black can't accept the fact that they no longer are, so the answer to your question is yes but more figuratively than literally.

probably in the united states. when the blacks were persecuted by KKK(Ku Klux Klan). A private organisation made of white people that were against the blacks simply because of the clolur of the skin.

Yes there are... I know several white sorors.  As matter of fact there are white people and other non black people in every sorority and fraternity in the divine nine.

No. They are little racist brats that have been brainwashed by their mother. As for African Americans having a movement and a TV network. How the hell is that racist. If you haven't noticed the image of AA has been degraded over the years and something positve like that serves to uplift AA's. Hellooo.. almost every channel is a white version of BET. BET is one tiny little network that isn't even black owned anymore and it also does not promote a positive image of AA's. With the so-called movement for the KKK its definately negative and racist. These little girls minds have been soiled w/ hatred.

Actually, yes.  For example, many members of the Cherokee nation in Georgia (prior to their removal to Oklahoma Territory) held slaves.  This is because they were encouraged to assimilate to contemporary European-American lifestyles and values in that geographic area, which at that time included male-headed nuclear family units (as opposed to female-headed clans), and single-family owned farms on the plantation model(as opposed to communal land tilling), and Christianity.  Many Cherokee (and some few Choctaw, Chicasaw, and Creek) families did assimilate to a large degree, and purchased slaves to work on the plantations they owned.  (Ironically, slave-holding was one of the reasons the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw and Seminole nations became known to European-Americans in the 19th century as "The Five Civilized Tribes.")  \n\nCurrent scholarship is demonstrating, however, that even though some members of these Native nations held slaves, they treated them differently than did Euro-American slaveholders.  In many cases, slaves lived in the same homes as their Native owners, and in some cases, Native people even married African-Americans they held as slaves!  This illustrates the very different valence given to slavery by Native slaveholders. \n\nThere are a few excellent books on the subject, among which are:\nTheda Purdue, Slavery and the Evolution of Cherokee Society, 1540-1866 \nPatrick Minges, Slavery in the Cherokee Nation: The Keetoowah Society and the Defining of a People 1855-1867 \n\nOne important note: Native Americans were also enslaved themselves.  Patrick Minges has edited a volume called Black Indian Slave Narratives, in which you can read primary source materials produced by some of these enslaved Native folks.  \n\nJack Forbes also has a very cool book entitled Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples, which explores yet another dimension of this aspect of American history.

That is so sad.  I had an Uncle who was a member of the KKK for awhile.  Don't know how he ended up there, the rest of the family is not racist whatsoever.  I can't believe that people are still like that in this day and age.  Narrow mindedness is right!!!!

That would depend on your definition of Black. They were of color if I'm not mistaken, but they were not of dark complexion.
