Ku Klux Klan experiences ‘surprising and troubling resurgence’ in US during the past year due to exploitation of hot issues such as immigration, gay marriage, urban crime, according to report

The Ku Klux Klan has experienced "a surprising and troubling resurgence" in the United States during the past year, an Anti-Defamation League report revealed Tuesday.
According to the report, the white supremacy group has successfully exploited issues such as immigration, gay marriage and urban crime to draw in new members and accelerate activity.
The ADL monitors the activities of hate groups and reports developments to policy makers and law enforcement agencies. ADL Civil Rights Director Deborah M. Lauter pointed to immigration as the key issue stirring up racist sentiments in the United States.
"If any one single issue or trend can be credited with re-energizing the Klan, it is the debate over immigration in America," said Lauter.
"Klan groups have witnessed a surprising and troubling resurgence by exploiting fears of an immigration explosion, and the debate over immigration has, in turn, helped to fuel an increase in Klan activity, with new groups sprouting in parts of the country that have not seen much activity," she added.
A surge in clan activity was identified especially in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The increase in activity was characterized by growing membership, establishment of new groups, increased cooperation with neo-Nazi groups, and new publicity tactics including dispatching flyers, publication over the internet and the launch of an internet-base radio station.
Lauter also noted the changing nature of klan members.
"Although some Klansmen may still hold cross-burnings dressed in robes and hoods, today's young Klansmen are more likely to look virtually indistinguishable from racist skinheads or neo-Nazis," said Lauter.
"Today's Klansmen may be as likely to gather at white power music concerts or socialize at so-called 'unity rallies' with other white supremacists, as to participate in ritualistic cross burnings in the rural wilderness," she added.
Sounds like the excuse Clint Eastwood tried to make for the Japanese troops in his Japanese language Iwo Jima film.
"Today's Klansmen may be as likely to gather at white power music concerts or socialize at so-called 'unity rallies' with other white supremacists, as to participate in ritualistic cross burnings in the rural wilderness," she added.
Sounds like the Klan has finally gone to "Business Casual" attire! ;-)
I'm unfamiliar with "white power" music. Anyone know what the heck that refers to (and no, I don't think Skynyrd counts...)?
Fundraising time for the ADL. My, how time flies.
What is there to stand up to? Whites are in no danger at all of becoming a minority in this country. Whites may lose their status as outnumbering all other ethnicities combined, but there is absolutely no chance of whites becoming even #2 in this entire century.
I guess the question that has to follow is: Why do whites have to outnumber all other ethnicities combined?
Because non-whites and non-Christians are destroying the country. They don't belong here. Sounds rather Islamic, I know.

To quote the klansman himself ...
"Muzzi!"
At least I'm not the only one who sees through such thinly veiled racism. Kudos Sir.
Guess they have nothing better to do.
You may remember this one. What goes up, comes down.
Participant at KKK initiation wounded after shots fired into sky
JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee (AP) -- A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.
Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.
About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said.
Rest of article at link above.
If you read their literature, they don't veil it at all. Of course their recruiters do.
The Klan was always cozy with the Nazis. The Klan has always hated Jews more than anything. The Jews represented this great nameless faceless entity that sought to destroy their way of life.
Civil rights = Jews
rock and roll = Jews
drugs = Jews
liquor by the drink = Jews
Communists = Jews
Catholics = Jews
layoffs at the mill = Jews
She went away for the holidays

She never got there
She never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away

My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She went away for the holidays
The KKK took my baby away
They took my girl
They took my baby away
I can't speak for the klan, but my uncle fought the Nazis and hated them.
As early as the 1960's, the Klan and the Nazis were bedfellows. When the Klan and the Communists fought it out in Greensboro in 1979, the Nazis were with the Klan.
Now they are indistinguishable.
Between 1940 and 1960, the Nazis disappeared.
Ok,so are you saying American LEOS are the equivalent of the"good Germans"who were tried in Nuremberg?I'm not tring to put words in your mouth but to me that is a disingenous arguement similiar to Leftist accusations of Gestapo=US Military Police Establishment.
Damn straight.
And no, it's not all law enforcement. Those at Waco that day the SHTF on the Davidians, it does apply to them.
"Non whites and non Christians are destroying the country"
Does that include Jews and non white people like Condoleeza Rice and Thomas Sowell?
Yes, it also includes whites and Christians who don't subscribe to their views, those who vote for Republicans, and those who use the term Judeo/Christian, a synonym for clean filth. They're inclusive haters.
