omg seriously!
some people are just crazy, and they're ruthless - they're all closed minded and just care about "pure" people. "Hey, let's shoot everyone different, kay?" People are encouraged to stand out, to be original! But the KKK hates people that aren't exactly like them.
The big question will always remain; why? They're all driven by hate.

The KKK Originally started to protect the southern states from northern agressors, after the war. It seems that many politicians in the north wanted to treat the ex-confedates as conquered lands not as a now partner in the growing united states. Several things happened, you had the rich that tried to take as much industry as they could back to the north, they tried to suspend the consitution and the bill of rights in the lands south of the mason dixon line. This did not sit well with many of the families that were post-war, just trying to survive. They started pushing the hate of the other races when again, northern policitains pushed political correctness and intergration on people that did not want it.
One statement that was heard was "Blacks have a right to live somewhere, but I have the right to live away from them" Or something to that effect.
It was more radical groups within the clan that started the majority of the race violence. So while some of the ideas of the clan could be valid, intergration should be allowed where everyone accepts it, but if some dont want it, they should not be forced. The overall forcefullness and brutality from the civil war days being used in a more modern era has caused more harm to their efforts than anything else.
Also dont confuse KKK with Neo-Nazis, while there are some intermingling of the groups, they are very different in many ways.
Immediately on the collapse of the Confederacy the views of the leaders of the Republican party underwent a startling change; Thaddeaus Stevens, as leader in the House, and Wade and Sumner in the Senate began to preach the doctrine that the Southern States had become conquered provinces, that all Federal laws and guarantees of the Constitution of the United States were suspended within their limits, and that Congress alone could restore the laws and rights so suspended. If the Southern States were still States of the Union, then their citizens were entitled to all the guarantees of the Federal Constitution; if they were no longer States, then a successful war waged to preserve the Union had resulted in its dissolution.
In the spring and summer of 1867 Congress passed, over the President's veto, three bills providing for "the more efficient government of the rebel States."
These bills divided ten of the Southern States into five military districts, each to be ruled over by an army officer not below the rank of brigadier general; his duties and authority were "to protect all persons in their rights of person and property; to suppress insurrection, disorder, and violence, and to punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public peace and criminals"; one provision declared all interference by State authority void; another provided that the military commander might "allow local civil tribunals to try offenders," but left it to his discretion whether he should do so or not; another gave the commander the power to suspend or remove from office, or from the performance of official duties, all civil or military officers of any State or municipality, and fill their places with such soldiers or civilians as he saw fit; the effect of this legislation was to abolish the trial by jury in all criminal and civil cases, to proclaim martial law and thereby suspend the writ of habeas corpus to authorize arrests without warrant, abolish indictment and presentment for crime, discard process of law, and make the citizen and his property answerable to the will or caprice of a military officer from whose decision there was no appeal, except in case of a death sentence, when the approval of the President was required; the power was also given to the military commander to delegate most of these powers to whatever subordinates he saw fit. Not only did this legislation violate almost every guarantee of the State and Federal Constitutions, but it gave to a subordinate military officer powers which the combined legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the National Government could not exercise.

No different than the black man in New York that killed all the people on the subway because they were white, or the Shite's killing all the people in the trade center. What good are they...I can't think of one single good purpose for ANY of them. I'd like to take all of the hate people in the world and put them on one island and leave them there to kill each other. Let the rest of us live in peace!
