Exactly. Have you ever known anyone in the Klan? Have you ever met anyone who knew anyone in the Klan? Have you ever met anyone who knew anyone who knew anyone in the Klan? Have you met anyone who had even ever heard about anyone or anything related to the Klan? Once a year, maybe, on TV you'll see a dozen old farts at some rally in some little town somewhere...
I also suspect, sheer speculation, that the old DNC, which was racist, has groomed a few select leaders with racist tendancies. If you think about it, affirmitive action is a Trojan horse.
Also, in recent times, the KKK was doing some clever PR work, escorting teenage girls to high school to prevent men from raping them, particularly black men.
Not personally,but I've seen Kluxers trying to recruit at gun shows in Colorado. This was over 20 years ago,though.

Yes,my mother and my aunt were both saved by their local KKK from abuse when they were both less than 10 years old. Their parents had died during the flu epidemic of 1918,so both young girls were "boarded-out" to a old batchelor who lived alone. He needed somebody to cook and help him around the house,and the girls needed some place to live. The agreement was that they would help care for him and provide him with company (a VERY rural area) in exchange for him feeding,clothing,and sending them to school. My mother told me that one Friday night the Klan showed up in his yard with torches burning and ordered him out in the yard. The head Kluxer told him,"Old man,I've been told you ain't been providing for them girls or sending them to school,and that you have been spending all your extra money drinking. If we hear just one more report on you like this,we will return and horsewhip you.If that doesn't work,we will come back again and hang you."
My mother told me that they NEVER had one more minutes worth of trouble out of that old man as long as they lived there. There wasn't any court of appeals with those boys,and hiring a lawyer or being related to somebody important didn't mean squat. If they said it,they meant it.
