the ku klux klan is a white supremacy group that terrified people in the south during the 50's and 60's. It was at its zenith during the 1960's during the civil rights movement. It believed that as an organization it should be devoted to keeping minorities down and affirming white supremacy. They actively mobilized groups that would go into the community to intimidate blacks in an effort to keep them from registering to vote.
Since the beginning of the ku klux klan---the civil rights movement has gained momentum. Blacks have achieved equal rights, they have been given access to vote, they are now considered equal in every way. (This is not a small matter---since if you read the constitution you would see that they (blacks) were considered to be 3/5 of a person.
Personally, I think the country would do well to outlaw such violence and hatred. But one of the great things about America is that they have freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. And as long as we are Americans we must mumble what our forefathers mumbled. "I don't like what they are saying, but I will fight to the death their right to say it." We are a great country and most of us can tell when someone is indoctrinating us or trying to convince of us something that is right or wrong.

Their history is one of hate, violence, and prejudice and it grew from a desire to oppress a minority.
It is hard to see anything that distinguishes them from many of the current organizations we call "terrorists".
