They served in fucking congress!
This is a lasting myth that klansmen were rambunctious hillbillies. They were educated statesmen going around in costumes executing black people for fun.

What will it take for history to not be whitewashed constantly? I’m glad it’s being said, but we all know those who need to hear it, either won’t hear it or will cry about being victimized for their whiteness, while they refuse to shed a tear for those murdered by the Klan.

Based on 150 years since the Civil War, I don’t believe the goals of reconstruction were even remotely possible.
Sherman straight up should’ve burned the whole confederacy to the ground

And they still are… Those that work forces (or hold office) are the same that burn crosses!
Some were also preachers, policemen, and principals.

I’m listening to this book about Los Angeles in the 1960s and it says one of the most common groups that counterprotested at civil rights marches was the American Nazi Party, who would show up in full uniforms with swastikas.
Just constantly fighting these inbred knuckleheads.

Read Michael Parenti. The vast majority of Nazis were rehabilitated by the USA and western powers. I’m not just talking about NASA either, if anything at least those Nazis are generally nerds who care more about their work than any sort of ideology. I’m talking about Nazis who assumed active roles in the other alphabet agencies.

Not only that but it helps further instill a sense of fear and helplessness in the black community. Not only are you being terrorized but you don’t know who’s doing it. You know you can’t trust white people in general so when you’ve got people wearing masks the fact that it could be anyone means you have to suspect everyone. So even if it’s only 2% of community members in the klan, it feels like every white person you meet is because they possibly could be. And for any potential white people who would help, it makes it even harder because you too don’t know who you could trust or who is in the organization.

That one border patrol dude who worked on the legal side (I don’t remember his actual job title) that just got outed as being the person running some crazy racist Twitter account is a good example of this.
I went down the Klan rabbit hole on YT the other day and some of them legitimately sound special needs. There was a scene where the chaplain (idr the weird name they actually have) was out in his sheets and pointy pillowcase raising a flag in his yard, some kid comes up all like “hell yeah brother white power raise hell praise dale amirite” and they go about recruiting him. The kid was 100% most DEFINITELY special needs and the conversation between them two sounded like two high school kids in special ed talking about their favorite toy cars. No disrespect intended to the mentally disabled, but I’m just saying they don’t seem like they’re totally all there. So prob not prominent figures anymore, just regular plain old white trash who have never been outside of their hometown.

Still are. And don’t forget, they were/are doctors, surgeons and nurses, too.
