FYI, The Ku Klux Clan was Sottish in origin, but not racial in purpose. As is common with the Left it is a co-opted term to confuse the confusable. The "Clan of the Closed Circle", or Ku Klux Clan were actually an organization of work horse owning teamsters that plowed the crofter's (tenant farmers) fields during the 16th. to the 19th century's in Scotland. Few Scottish farmers could afford the cost and maintenance of large work horses. The farmers paid these "teamsters" for their services. The closed circle comes from the exclusivity maintained by the teamsters clan. Like many public unions of today, membership in the "Clan" depended on who you knew or were related to. And how well you kept your mouth shut about the craft of handling large horses.

Welcome to FR and a Happy 4th.

The Ku Klux Klan did not start out as racist. I know that; but I am not sure what they were or how they evolved into a racial group.

Gads, what a black mark on my beloved heritage. I was unaware of that, even if it didn't start out as what it later became.
