Just out of curiosity; what’s the black communities take on the Klan (specifically them not the other likeminded chucklefucks) In terms of modern times. Are people actively concerned about them as a group or is it just like “old crazy boogeymen who occasionally pop up in a desperate attempt to remain relevant ?”
Can only speak for the people I know, but there’s this persistent belief that they are as relevant today as they were yesterday. A bit like how the word Nazi is invoked even though most people today haven’t seen a real one.
I'd be willing to be there are plenty of old men and women who see a young kid who shaves their head for the style of it and put them in the Nazi column because they are shaving their head, and that means they are a skin head Nazi
despite no other evidence.
Think about how stupid people like to jump to these insane conclusions and then keep them forever. There are still people who think playing DnD is some sort of cult ritua for crying out loud.
Now think about how many of these little beliefs there are and how many little communities think differing sets of them... madness.
Oh ok that makes sense. Yeah most Jews (even in the South / Midwest) aren’t remotely concerned about the Klan as a group. Neo Nazis on the other hand, are way more relevant, followed by fundamentalist Muslims / leftists / etc.
