why do KKK members wear white hoods?

They have several reasons for wearing white hoods.  A couple have been named already.  1. To hide their identity since their activities are often illegal.  2.  White sheets resemble ghosts in the dark and was originally intended to be scary, now they are scary of their own accord.  3.  Its become a demented status symbol for their members similar to military uniforms to honorable warriors only without their honor.  Their Grand Dragon wears a red hood and cape.\n\nAmazing how similar their insignia and ranks are to the demonic.  Satan is called the Dragon and serpent.  Also they hate the symbols of Christ and dishonor them eg. burning crosses to signify their hatred.

people hated people because of their skin tone. I think you should be able to wear a shirt that says," I love white people, just as they should be allowed to wear theirs.  as long as your opinion(if any) does not infringe on theirs or your liberties.  if you wanna wear it wear it.

To keep them cool. White helps reflect the sun light. And the long robes prevent sunburn.

Okay....I was taking this question seriously until I read "That's why they wear a lot of black."  LOL\n\nI guess I should pray for them to stop being sneaky and wearing black.

typically a skinhead is someone who shaves their head and talks about "white power" and glorifies Hitlers' efforts. they can usually be identified with nazi tattoos, doc marten boots and suspenders on their pants but not over their shoulders. But not everyone who shaves their head is a racist, I have been noticing more and more men who have a receeding hair line or a bald spot on the top of their head just shave it all off.

I love these 'a hoodie is only an item of clothing' people. I remember  a while ago, Prince Harry wore a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party and a lot of exactly the same people expressed their outrage that someone could wear something like that. F**king Hypocrites.

Because in our society for some reason it is acceptable for a minority group to display pride and create segregated programs (ie: Image Awards, BET, MOBO Awards,etc..) but it is not acceptable for people in the majority groups to do the same. \n\nBesides the term "White Pride" has been abused by ignorant, backwards thinking people a for so long in our history all it does is imply Natzi pride. So even if you could, would you really want to put that kind of negative connotation on the back of your car? Certainly not.

There are so many articles about the Klu Klux Klan that it boggles the mind. In a nutshell they - like Nazi Germany - beleived that the white race was omnipotent and that all other races are/were subservient or corrupt in some manner. Therefore they agreed that by process of elimination, they would rule as the all powerful white race. This misguided belief was fueled in part by the rife prejudices in the southern parts of the US. Since they beleived that blacks and other races were not in their white power plan, and these races were no better than dogs and should be treated as such, they proceeded with a process called culling. This is where they mistakenly thought that they could rule society and that everyone would go along with their beliefs. They used the bible and twisted its teachings to enforce their beliefs. A lot of people went along with it, in part, because of the slavery and its abolition in later years, but also because it was the "Christian" thing to do. Some thought that if they were true christians they had to go along with it, because they beleived the words of the Grand wizard. The Klu Klux Klan was a secret society for a long time. Mostly joined by angry white southern gentlemen who didnt like the abolition of slavery. I use the term gentlemen loosely. If you google the name it will come up and you can read all about it..

KKK members have low self-esteem, which they try to fix by seeking a group identity. They don't want to confront their own inadequacy, so they blame others for their problems. They are allowed to protest because this is a free country.

The name Ku Klux Klan comes from the Greek word kuklos, circle.

Because it's slimming.\nSome Orthodox Jewish men wear black and white outfits. \nSome dress like this most of the time, and some only on Shabbat.\nJewish women do not wear black all the time.  If they do, it's because black goes with everything and looks great on most people.

Had not heard that!  But have long time been curious myself about it.\nHave heard it is in part to that gangster look.\n\nEither way, no less attractive than these young girls with their underwear strap showing above their lowriders.\n\nWhen I was growing up and your clothes were too big for you, you simply did not wear them or shared them with someone who could......whatever happened to self respect about how you look?!\n\nAlso - what is the purpose of having a hat or visor with a bill and wearing it on the backside of your head?\nDuh - the bill is to keep the light out of your eyes.\n\nMercy and this is the next generation to guide our country!

If this is a serious question, and not just rhetorical.....\nBecause they have held ALL the power for so long, and while in power misused it so very badly.   They used unethical, immoral and un-Christian ways to oppress the minorities.  That memory, and the memory of the one large all-white "club", the KKK lingers with a stench so bold that no one even wants to bring it up again.\nThe term "all white" brings up connotations of that unfortunate situation.\n\nAnd if you were not aware of it, whites still pretty much hold MOST of the power base, politically and economically.  So long as they do, and probably a while after, this will most likely be the social sentiments.\n\nHowever, in a truly equal society, it should not matter, and the ACLU has even backed the KKK for their right to be heard, as repugnant as the idea must have seemed to them; it is the "right" not the idea they were defending.\n\nI have heard of German, Spanish, Irish and Italian clubs in the college setting, but are usually associated with the language departments/courses.

Actually, the Klu Klux Klan name is kinda stupid. They thought that it sounded like greek, which they think sound cool. As a matter of fact, the KKK did all these codes by replacing certain letters with K just to look cool.  You know, like kool. (If you think I am joking, think again.)  Conisder that most members of the KKK in its early days were uneducated farmers, it shouldn't come as a surprise. As to the KKK now, it still exists.  It really depends on who you ask.  They actually have a website and a TV show.  Look at www.kkk.com  The KKK, or what's left of it, is more or less funny than scary.  For starters, their main branch is reduced to selling T-shirts and mugs to get money.  A black man in minnisota a few years ago applied to the KKK and got to be the region's grand dragon (or something like that, which was rather funny because it's the third higest rank in a region KKK organziation. I am sure some racist will do hate crime and pretend that KKK is still big, but the truth is, the people in the current KKK and white supremacy groups  are a bunch of sad losers we can laugh at.
