Whats the difference between the KKK and Nazis?

Question

i know that most KKK are american and most nazi are German, but in perspective, do they have different beliefs or is it the same?

Answer 1

they are both idiotic!

Answer 2

The KKK in my opinion was a group who came to being when the black people in america were given rights and freed. That organization simply did not want to see the change. Originally I believe that they had a political ajenda. since then it has become more of a hate group. While hate groups are not necessarily good, I do believe that people have a right to feel and think how they want. An example may be, "should we hate the religious extremists who are terrorists?" This is one aspect of living in a free country having the right to feel how you want. Nazi's were an actual political power on the other hand. A government. It too has mutated into an idea today and is found in some sub cultures. Today the KKK and Nazi idea has become viewed upon as more of a joke for idiots. It is not what it was then, but in the begining when these two beliefs arose they had merit and were taken serious at that time. They had a purpose. This is not saying they were good or bad, but they just were. What we should realize is that when these groups existed back then, they were large groups of people speaking out. Especially in Nazi Germany. This was an entire nation speaking out. I also believe that to much emphesis is put on these two groups. There are other groups who even today kill thousands of people. An example is religion. More people have been killed in the name of religion through history I believe than all wars put together. The spanish inquisition killed masses of people in the name of religion... another belief. So how is that belief better or worse than nazi, or kkk? also, lets not forget the american indians. American back then literally and almost completely anihilated an entire civilization. This makes nazi's or kkk look pretty mild.

Answer 3

Nazi's originally were German nationalists with a wide stripe of antisemitism courtesy of catholic and Lutheran dogma prevalent in central Europe. The early Nazi party drew heavily from the remnants of catholic and protestant political parties that dissolved after the Nazis came to prominence.

Originally the Nazis were about breaking free of the punitive treaty of Versailles and the unification of German speaking countries under one national government. That and rabid paranoid antisemitism.

As they are now they are just white supremacists. Some are christian, some are atheist, some are neopagan, there's lots of offshoots.

The KKK were originally occupied with enforcing the caste system that defined American apartheid. A protestant christian group that is antisemitic and usually anti catholic religiously speaking. That the group is a white supremacist organization is a given.

Both groups are anticommunist, right wing organizations. The Nazis are more likely to create a central leadership among themselves. The Klan is more of a vigilante group they want the right to impose 'local mores' independent of absolute central oversight.

The lines between the two have blurred and there is a lot of ideological intermingling at least among the subgroups that are protestants.

Answer 4

True the Ku Klux Klan is American and the Nazi Party was German. The KKK started just after the War between the States. The Nazi came to power after WW I. The KKK was formed as a vigilante group to protect Southerns rights from vengeful and greedy Northerners. The Nazis believed they were the genetic superiors of the world and ruled by destiny. The KKK eventually came to be merely a hate group against all non-Whites and non-Protestants. The Nazis always believed in the need to cull the sickly, infirm and lesser races to make room for the Master race.

Answer 5

Both believe that there are differences between the races and that whites are naturally superior to all others. The KKK has the intention of 'keeping Black people in their place' eg so long as black people did rubbish jobs and did as they were told they would be left alone. The Nazis believed that White people especially Aryans ( blond, blue eyed) were superior to all other races and that they should not intermarry with other races. basically Gemany for the Germans. The KKK was therefore intended to maintain the status quo of JIm Crow south whilst the Nazis theories were more vested in quasi science and mystisim. ( eg if white people only bred with other white people they would 'purify' the species and eventually create a super race)
Both should be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Answer 6

if you have blonde hair this will naturally get bleached by the particular sun in the summer. There has been this guy in my class who else had golden blonde hair that had been a medium brown near the bottom. When he came back to college after summer vacation, it was practically platinum blonde!

Answer 7

their uniforms very quite different, also KKK operated in the US while the Nazi principally in Germany and the most important difference was that KKK was fighting blacks while the Nazi the Jews and other "lower" human races (non-Arid).

Answer 8

Why is everyone with blond, why aren't you just have jet black tresses with some blonde or blonde hair with some jet black hair. Now you don't have to choose.

Answer 9

As seen in WWII Nazis focused on the Jewish religion, hence the concentration camp and the imprisonment of all the Jewish people in Germany.

KKK focused mainly on non white people (mainly blacks).

They both have evolved their beliefs to hate everyone except straight white males and females.

Answer 10

they are very different
the KKK is a group which is regional (mostly southern US states) and has very little power

The nazi party was a political party with elected leaders. True they both had hateful ideals but they are not even close to benig the same

Answer 11

The Klan focused on Africans in America who were all poor and looked different. The Nazis focused on the misfits who were not Aryan or were different - gypsies, gays, mentally defectives, cripples, German dissenting anti-Nazis, anybody of color and the Jews.
