A&E has pulled the plug on its upcoming docuseries centered on the KKK.
The network announced their plans to scrap the project, which was intended to serve as a close look at anti-hate extractors focused on helping people leave the Ku Klux Klan, in a statement released Saturday.
"Our goal with this series has always been to expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms," the network said in a statement. "However, A&E learned last night from the third-party producers who made the documentary that cash payments — which we currently understand to be nominal — were made in the field to some participants in order to facilitate access. While we stand behind the intent of the series and the seriousness of the content, these payments are a direct violation of A&E’s policies and practices for a documentary. We had previously provided assurances to the public and to our core partners — including the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change — that no payment was made to hate group members, and we believed that to be the case at the time. We have now decided not to move forward with airing this project."

BLM, on the other hand, is a very active and massive hate group, funded by the terrorist Soros, and given legitimacy by Barry Hussein and our corrupt media.
It was BLM that was directly responsible for the assassination of 5 Dallas police in July.

Democrats don’t want to remind anyone that their party started the KKK.
KKK—pay to play.
Since most of their leaders were already on the FBI payroll they could have gotten paid twice!
What a deal!
Beat me to it.
The FBI is watching all these groups anyway, according to an informant for them who testified at the Oregon Standoff trial earlier this year.
Goes to prove GMTA.8>)
Yeah, heaven forbid the media investigate REAL leftist hate groups with a body count. BLM, SPLC, et al...
Translation: “Somebody blew the whistle that we had to hire actors to pose as the Klan.”
A well timed scree designed to whip up race hatred and tie it to Trump. I hope A&E goes bankrupt along with that bogus “History” channel.
...There Is a Racist Political Party in America...
The party that controlled the southern blacks, perpetuated slavery, the Slave trade, and Jim Crow till the latter part the 20th Century.
The party that originated and encouraged the KKK and it’s terrorizing blacks and lynchings.
The party responsible for the plight of blacks today.
The party that historically and currently controls the American cities where racial strife, racial mob violence and black poverty fester.
The only things about blacks the Democrats care about are the black vote and keeping them going as a victim class.
But, Republicans are the enemy.
I am guessing that the actors they hired to pretend to be Grand Dragons wanted more money.
{A well timed screed designed to whip up race hatred and tie it to Trump. I hope A&E goes bankrupt along with that bogus “History” channel.}
We have a winner.
Classic leftist media. Go where there is no story to divert attention from the elephant in the room.
The “KKK” isn’t the one out there murdering police officers.
Best short documentary of the KKK out there:
Part 1, http://www.cc.com/video-clips/7nnosh/chappelle-s-show—frontline——clayton-bigsby-pt—1-—uncensored
Part 2, http://www.cc.com/video-clips/ga0sc4/chappelle-s-show—frontline——clayton-bigsby-pt—2-—uncensored
They probably cancelled because they could only find 4 and they were all democrats.

I grew up in the rural South during the 1950’s and 1960’s and have lived my entire life in southern states. To my knowledge I’ve never met a Klan member and the only Klan members I’ve seen are those on television or newspapers. The people I grew up with peacefully transitioned through the civil rights era and integration. Unlike Bill Clinton, cross and church burnings in rural North Carolina and Florida are not memories of my youth. If I wanted to attend a Klan meeting I have no ideal who to ask where to find a meeting unless it is the local FBI office. The Klan has zero power and influence in southern states today. A black person living in a southern state is less likely to be murdered by a member of the Klan than he or she is to be struck by a meteor falling from the sky.
I’m tired of the media and progressive activists creating the impression the Klan is running wild in the south terrorizing blacks and burning churches daily. As others have pointed out, the real problem is the northern urban areas where blacks are segregated in burned out ghettos and suffer from miserable education systems and a permanent cycle of poverty.
The real world does not look at all like the leftist media's fantasy world.
Half of all KKK members are undercover FBI Agents.
The Klan doesn’t exist in any real form, and it hasn’t since the FBI pulled funding.
And if anyone tries to say different, the Klan will shut them down.
