No matter how much you disdain and despise the mainstream media…it is not enough. Not nearly enough.
Case in point: the newly rebranded “Minnesota Star Tribune” recently ran an article—on the front page of the ‘A’ section—about the history of the KKK in Minnesota. The headline read “Her mission: Documenting history of KKK in Minnesota.” Clever.
The piece never mentioned the Democrat party, never once noted that the party was the home of the KKK, the pro-slavery party, the Jim Crow party, the anti-integration party, the anti-reconstruction party. Misinformation. Disinformation. Mal-information. Lying by omission. Shameful.
Instead, the article hinted throughout that it was those with the mindset of today’s Trump Republicans that were responsible for the horrors of extreme discrimination. The story, by Trey Mewes, cited the work of recently retired Steele County librarian Nancy Vaillancourt, and noted, “The KKK spread to many corners of the state, from Minneapolis to Virginia, where school board members all claimed they were KKK members and urged that the Bible be taught in public schools.” Gag me. I doubt that every school board member in Virginia—or Minneapolis—in a state that promptly volunteered to fight for the union in the Civil War, upon entering the union, was a proud, card-carrying member of the KKK.
But the real point was to smear Christianity, by saying that these wildly racist animals “urged that the Bible be taught in public schools.” The Bible—in part—was taught in many public schools at the time. And the attempt to associate Christians with the KKK is more than absurd. It is the opposite of reality…and singularly repulsive. Many Christians were abolitionists.

The RED Star has always been a RAT newspaper.
Hoodlums from South America are more likely to harm you than the so called "KKK", whose last gasp was 100 years ago.
They are doing an expose on the history of the KKK? Really? Are they going to explain that for most of its history, the purpose of the KKK was to be the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party that terrorized blacks and Republicans into not voting? That once they no longer served that purpose for the Dems, that they devolved into a pathetic group of kooks and losers with zero power?
The KKK was awful but their kill count was nothing compared to that done by muslims.
From wikipedia
“Lynchings in the U.S. reached their height from the 1890s to the 1920s, and they primarily victimized ethnic minorities. Most of the lynchings occurred in the American South, as the majority of African Americans lived there, but racially motivated lynchings also occurred in the Midwest and border states.
In 1891, the largest single mass lynching in American history was perpetrated in New Orleans against Italian immigrants.
One study found that there were “4,467 total victims of lynching from 1883 to 1941.””
KKK was the militant wing of the Democrat party, like BLM/Antifa now. At its peak in the 1920s, 20 percent of Democrat men were members. By the 1970s, there were only 1500 members. The KKK exists now as controlled opposition propped up by media attention and government double agents.
I do not have a source, but I believe many of — and possibly the vast majority of — lynchings were for rape, and the criminal class had the same demographics then as now. The races doing the crimes were the races getting lynched.
Vigilantism arises when the justice system breaks down and it is the only method to get justice. Of course, it can easily result in miscarriages of justice along with many cases of well-applied justice.
A swift lynching for a brutal rape likely served as a lesson and prevented many similar crimes.
“ there were “4,467 total victims of lynching from 1883 to 1941.”
Gang violence kills more blacks every year, than lynchings did in history.
Somebody tell that paper that 75% of American blacks are practicing Christians.
BTTT
Their opening gambit is always slander and nothing they say can be taken at face value. Everything it a ploy. They are ployers.
For some reason there was no link to read the actual article. hmmm. It was written by Trey Mewes a reporter who also writes about sex abuse in the Catholic church and drag shows. The woman he talks about is a librarian Nancy Vaillancourt a librarian in Owatonna, Minnesota.
I’m not going to pay to read some librarian’s views. She is likely a Mormon. She went to Brigham Young Univervity and she is maybe a Mitt Romney supporter. No bias in that article. /s
I’ve always regarded the KKK as being heavily influenced by Masonic concepts and thus far out of the Christian mainstream.
It’s way past time we take the gloves off an start bankrupting
these liars and slanderers.
Trump should file suits against everyone on the Left that
openly slanders him.
Make them pay! Put them out of business. Take their homes.
Put them on the street.
this is all made up BS. KKK in minnesota not....
I see the “Minnesota Star Tribune” are all open to anyone now. They were blocking many articles except for subscribers.
