The KKK was started as an underground terrorist group against the civil rights movement that freed the slaves after the American Civil War. Its name was derived form the English work clan and the Greek word kyklos, meaning "circle." Although in the late 19th Century it lost support, during the 20th Century, it has been revived with a few alterations. This group has been noted for its prosecutions against, Jews (as it later co-joined with neo-Nazis), foreigners, Roman Catholics, Communists, Homosexuals, Blacks, communists and organized labor.
They define themselves as a political party, one that they also call the White Rights Movement. Their foundation is that by trying to integrate and mixing ethnicities and race, whites are facing discrimination. Whites, according to them are giving up their lives in a sacrificial manner for those non-white. They infer that older generations were oppressed by liberal thinkers (also referred to as communists) limiting our ability and our right to indulge and enjoy white pride. They also believe that this country was founded as a white, Christian nation and should be brought back to it.

Currently? The lower intelligence and people that had some kind of inbreeding in their family at some point,.. as well as the antiestablishmenttarians are just seeking something to make them special.
That is what the current KKK is,... they are close minded to ideas outside their group or that develope within their groups as well,.. but look at what they are constructed from.
The KKK in the past were hurt in every way posible by loseing their workers (even generations after it happened). So much like Bush family and their friends, they had to create something to better profit from. It's also some people decided it was better to think of certain people as soulless creatures that couldn't posibly think or learn on their own,.. but some of those KKK, like some todays, mentally were like that... and when your mentally like that it's hard to imagian things... especially the capablities you do not have. It would be like you trying to imagian what it feels like to have a sense another animal has but you do not.
Anotherwards they are Confused and Stupid people being hauled around and pushed into things like mindless livestock. Ode to the Irony.

Mental retardation, dementia... the members' parents were drunks & junkies, white trash, you know those... so such bastards formed an organization under the motto "we human waste gotta stic together"... you see the extent of their intelligence in that they STILL don't know that it's not Klan but Clan in what is their native language. Thet often state that they feel misunderestimated.

When people have low mentality, are uneducated, usually poor, and have no self worth, they have to have someone to look down on---to make them feel better. There are always one or two who have a little more gumption, who can lead them, and the stupid have to have someone to follow, so----off they go!
