The white supremacist organisation, 'Ku Klux Klan', infamous for racism and violence, is reportedly rebranding itself and opening its doors – quite surprisingly – to other members of the society such as Jews, Blacks, Hispanics and gays.

..... The white supremacist group 'Ku Klux Klan' is reportedly rebranding to including jews, black people and gays....

The move reportedly comes after John Abarr, a KKK member from Great Falls in Montana, had a discussion with the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NCAAP), although it is not exactly clear what they talked about.

Abarr is a now a reformed man and has started a new group called 'The Rocky Mountain Knights'. Although he hasn't specified how many members the organisation has, he was cited as saying by Georgian TV channel WMAZ that the rebranded outfit will not discriminate against people on the basis of race, religion or sexual orientation.

"The KKK is for a strong America," Abbar said, according to the TV channel.

Sounds like a new, lame attempt to make Christian churches look like the old Klan.

[FES0844]

Perhaps rebranded by a muslim convert.

[Morpheus2009]

Probably just trying to become somehow relevant, after going out of style. I wouldn’t be surprised if the new Klan includes some leftists, after all, it suits the attitudes of plenty of the far left anyways.

Does this group really even exist anymore? Last I heard, the modern-day KKK is mostly made up of undercover law enforcement.

[VanDeKoik]

Why not just call themselves Democrats?

[ryderann]

Sounds like the Nazis all over again.

[SoFloFreeper]

Indeed.

Groups like this seldom have a positive goal, instead that are antagonistic towards some other group. So my question is, who are they going to hate now?

What is actually worrisome here is that if they moderate, it will make it just that much easier for the real hate organizations like the Southern Policy Law Center (SPLC) to lump conservatives and conservative groups with the KKK and blanket tar everybody to the right of the SPLC as evil and dangerous to their America.

Maybe the NAACP will follow suite and open up to conservatives and pro-lifers?

[kenmcg]

What a bunch or BS, anyone know of any violence by the KKK against blacks or Jews in the last 10 or 20 years? Yet, the leftist MSM remains mute on the countless attacks, murders, robberies & rapes of blacks on whites.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

NAACP needs to change its name to NAACD. National association for the advancement of colored democrats. And yes it spells a word, sort of.

[uncitizen]

About a year ago they put out a article about the klan gaining popularity and growing again. It was BS and so is this article.

[Constitution Day]

Surely this must be satire.

Did they interview Clayton Bigsby, the blind white supremacist?

The KKK has always been the para-military arm of the Democrat party. While, superficially, this looks like the KKK is changing, it is really just re-aligning its makeup to conform to the modern demographics of the ‘Rats. Its function will remain the same - to physically intimidate those whose oppose the ‘Rat party.

But can a white guy join the black panthers now too?

[skeeter]

excellent.

AZT-KLAN! aka, the "Tan Klan"

[Incorrigible]

LOL! Still looks like Catholics are excluded.

Has anybody lived in the rural South, where what was seen as the Klan was active at keeping everything in the local community on the straight and narrow. They kept a lid on crime, local alcoholics of any race that weren't taking care of their kids, and just about any issue that had a detrimental effect on the local community. Forty some years back, but I remember their influence solved problems the state police couldn't touch, vigilante justice if you want to paint it but it worked.

I remember the local blks (they were probably half the population too) weren't concerned for their safety, living their lives quite respectable in the rural areas. The local boys involved in such activity were quite patriotic, Christian, tight with county sheriffs, and the state law enforcement. I guess when that guy in Montana said he was for America; I'd believe him over the Southern Policy Law Center.

Course there really ain't any racial divisions or crime out here along the Yukon; only Indians & White People (and we all get along just fine); nearest other ethnic or racial group is over 400 miles away.

Anybody remember what I'm talking about in the South?

Just responding to the changing demographics of the Democrat party.
