I didn't ask the FBI, I asked you. And you have nothing to back up your claim with, do you?

Well, I used to live in Pittsburgh. I can't verify Pennsylvania has the numerically largest Klan representation among all the states. I can verify that it has a very strong klan representation. The klan has demonstrated on the steps of the Allegheny County courthouse in Pittsburgh and their were frequent klan rallies in rural southwestern PA, with the cross burnings and the whole ball of wax. Given the magnitude of Pennsylvania's population, it is quite plausible that they have the largest number of klan members.

Re: The klan demonstrating on the steps of the Allegheny County Courthouse (post 327). They may have chosen this location in the belief that the proximaty of the Allegheny county prosecuting attorneys and judges would give them a relative appearance of virtue. Voltaire's quote "When the devil sits between two lawyers, virtue is in the middle", certainly holds for those particular members of the legal "profession". In spades!

Call you local klan chapter or contact the FBI; I'm sure both will be happy to tell you the current membership numbers. Don't rely on the SPLC or ADL - they aren't credible sources. I think the total membership was estimated at 2000-3000 in 1999.

However, if you want to consider racist organizations, look no further than the NAACP!
