It's like Nazis - when the German government was behind the Nazis - and they had the force of the military and the culture with them - they were a horror. They were worthy of every bit of fear and hatred anyone could conjure. They has massive power...
Today when 15 losers get together and call themselves ‘Nazis’ it's a joke. Fifteen losers can't do squat other than borrow a name that strikes fear into people's hearts. If they were to call themselves the 'Gas Station Street Gang' no one would quake in fear. People would look at the losers and say,'what power do these 15 losers have?" No one from the New York Times would cover them...not for a minute.
It's the same with KKK losers. They don't have the power of a culture behind them like they did in the South decades ago. Today it's just a bunch of losers. And so far I haven't even seen the name of any other members. If there were any... I think the guy worked alone.
KATHLEEN BELEW needs to research the mastheads of Southern Newspapers... the kind that offer knee-jerk responses to any black person who might be mildly offended TODAY. And see how those papers (run by racist democrats before 1964) were STILL run by the same racists 10 years later. And they did not care... with very rare exception. The only difference was news people switched en mass... to the newer more fashionalbe ideas of the sixties. When the civil rights movement needed southern journalists there were very few who took the movement seriously. Kathleen Belew could at least do a numbers comparison between so-called KKK members today ( if there are any ) and the number of killings they've been convicted of in the last 10 years.... and compare that to the number of killings done by black gang members.
She might be in for a surprise.
The monster in this story does NOT represent the South, or the Southern Establishment, or Jim Crow, or Conservatives. The monster has taken a frightening name from the past and used it to get attention.
KATHLEEN BELEW - if seven liberal losers got together and called themselves the 'Charlie Manson Gang' would you respond the way you have?
It is pathetic to watch the left march this tripe out like clockwork. No intellectual honesty.
