The negroes/blacks/African-Americans didn’t have to cooperate.
Bingo. They were helped in cooperating by the democrat machine that imprisons them. Try finding any liberal that would agree with that— they think they are helping. Of course it is the march of the progressives that is doing this in the guise of liberalism, and has done so since 1900. You can keep people “down on the reservation” or in the projects, if you will, by constantly supplying them with all their “needs” in exchange for votes. This activity by the demcrap party is what is ultimately destroying this country. Since their goal is dictatorship— they do not care.
The premise of this posted article is factually wrong about the original klan and leaders which disbanded in 1869, having succeeded in its political goals and in order to avoid selective prosecution under Reconstruction habeas corpus and illegal Congressional acts. That is a Southern view shared by descendants of the major families who survived it.
The two later versions of the klan are well known. The second one was a tool of the progressives neo-liberals and do-gooders of the time, and closely followed the creation of the private federal reserve bank with the collusion of congress of the day. The third one—trash poor people returning from WWII to encounter the continuing liberal agenda in the face of post war prosperity. Eisenhower warned about the military/industrial complex which was hand in hand with big govt. liberalism and “acceptable” social causes of the central planners.
It is how we got to this point. Wish they had listened to Ike.
Virtue doesn’t grow on its own.
License does, especially when it is funded.
