PART of your problem (with your answer) is that the comment about the KKK not controlling the statehouse, courts and/or state police is that in several states the Klan DID control all three levels of state/local government.
if we were to accept your answer as factual/complete, one would presume WRONGLY that the US Flag would have been "indelibly stained".

PART of your problem (with your answer) is that the comment about the KKK not controlling the statehouse, courts and/or state police is that in several states the Klan DID control all three levels of state/local government. Your acknowedgement that the Klan had infiltrated the highest levels of several southern state governments only strengthens my argument that the Confederate flag is a racist symbol.
Thank you for tying that loose end together.
