All throughout school and for my entire adult life, every possible source of information has drove home the point that the Klan is a hate group, a bunch of paranoid bigots, and that they are nothing but evil disguising themselves as patriots and Christians.

The past month, we are hearing and seeing a scary number of reports about law enforcement / country or city DAs NOT protecting people from racial violence, NOT protecting private property, and considering the story about the couple who face charges in St Louis going out of their way to appease vilolent protesters instead of tax payers. To date, our governors & city officials are NOT getting the job done and neither is our president.

We all know that there are at least some in power that will go out of their way to ruin anyone who stands against this BS, but wait. What if the people who stood up were in some sort of a hood or all wearing masks to hide their identity? I have recently been peppered with the idea that the Klan kept order back in the day and they didn't care who needed to be put in their place, black white, or otherwise. Is this true?

I am not saying I am looking to join up, I am not advocating that anyone joins up- I am just curious: Is the membership of organizations like the Klan taking in record new memberships and cash donations?

Who is in the know? You can PM me if you want to.

I guess my biggest question is this: How can a society see the need for a BLM without conceding a possible need for balance?

I suppose you have a fair point Charles.

I am simply curious how a devisive racial organization like BLM can gain traction without a competing organization doing the same.

Moderators, if you think this is a little too much food for thought please delete and I wont be bringing it up again.

They are both hate groups, but for some reason no one wants to offend the BLM group by calling them one.

The same can be said for the mafia. They would not have allowed this rioting nonsense to happen.

Exactly!
I want to be clear to everyone and as clear as I possibly can be. I don't hate anyone and if I ever decided to it would be based upon ones actions and have nothing to do with the color of their skin, where they go to church, or even who they love. I am big on personal freedom but I believe freedom should end when it starts limiting the freedom or worse yet harming another individual.

That being said- I see a crap load of harm being done right now and facts are facts. The less ppl in charge who take action, the more they leave the door wide open for another entity to take that action

I have the KKK guide book ( By Laws ), it is from 1927 and have the Application to become a Klan member in Fargo N.D. From the same time. It does make for some interesting reading.

The KKK isn't going to provide balance to this situation. That's like balancing out redlining your engine on low oil by also shifting into low range at 75 mph.

Well it is obvious you consider yourself a thinking man- what is your solution?

The media and politicians don’t consider the BLM a hate group. Actually, in the eyes of the dems and liberal media, they are heroes. If any politician did consider them a hate group, their careers and family would be destroyed. Fly over country people know BLM are a hate group but are considered racist rednecks in doing so.

I hope I am wrong but short of the president calling in the national guard how do these riots end?
Don't you think at some point, some group (whether they are actually Klan members or not) will grab their shot guns, torches, and a pillow case with holes in it and drive the looters and rioters out of the streets?

There are probably pretty close to even numbers of whites to blacks destroying cemeteries, statues and businesses in the BLM terrorist organization. Blacks are being used by the liberal left, whose leadership mostly thinks of blacks as barely human.

Groups like the KKK and Arayan Nation, which is paticulary involved in recruiting prisoners, are going to grow. It's hard to watch people of your race being targeted by another race and to not get angry at the entire race.

The real struggle is between radical leftists and the rest of America. If it comes down to civil war, blacks, being somewhat unfairly thought of as being the problem, are going to really suffer, because they are easier to pick out then white leftists.

The only thing that will stop a huge increase of racial hatred is if black people start stopping the bad behavior of other blacks.

I have no ideas on solutions given the players. Just glad I don't live in a city. It will blow over.
