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.

It's the name of a fraternal organization that advocate white supremacy, they're against Catholics and Jews, and foreigners.  They promote the use of terror and violence against minorities (most knowingly African Americans) as well as religious groups.  The original Ku Klux Klan was created after the end of the American Civil War. The name was constructed by combining the Greek "kyklos" (circle) with "clan."  \nHope it helped!

It has been alleged that United States President Warren G. Harding was inducted into the Ku Klux Klan during his administration. The evidence is highly disputed.

I don't remember the reason why the robes which look similar to ones worn by the KKK are use, although I am 90% sure it is to ensure the modesty of the pious. \n\nThose who do this live in spain, the robes are worn during holy week.  They are NOT connected to the KKK at all.

Often, Jews are involved in organizations, along with Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Italians, Southerners, and Irish, that work to protect anyone in society from the harm caused by bigotry and prejudice.\n\nIn fact, I think it was a Jew who most vigorously argued that the KKK had a right to demonstrate and publicly express their views.  The feeling being that a little fresh air might take the right wing stench out of the air.

Why does the KKK burn any crosses at all, would be the better question! Why does the KKK even exist!

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.

To Ben/Sex : You need to get off of ur high horse! The kkk and the NAACP are in totally different capacities.The NAACP is not a hate group like the kkk. The NAACP never hurt or killed anyone. The kkk have burned down homes,burned crosses on people's properties and hung alot of Black abiding citizens. Blacks deserved same thing as whites. We are over dued! You are Ignorant!\n\nTo the questioner: People like Ben do not understand the true depths of slavery and these people like this think about themselves and not others! Whites do just tolerate and some go as far as not wanting us to come to their homes and churches in the year 2006.Slavery made be over literally for as chain and whips but whites are spiritually and mentally in bondage against blacks,asians,jews and hispanics! The kkk is still protesting to this day against equality. They used religion as a weapon to say that God sees other races as a abomination. They are sick people.What goes around comes around!

No, Just happen to be that europeans were christians and white people decided to used their racism to segregate from blacks. Pretty sad stuff...

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

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!!!!
