Keep in mind I am only 30 and if you think it's applicable, I only have one *very* distant African-American ancestor. When I was too young to understand what was happening but unfortunately old enough to remember, I witnessed one of their ceremonies complete with cross burning. No actual people were physically harmed but I was deeply disturbed, scared beyond my ability to describe. They were permitted to use the land of a friend of my step-father (to be at that time) because he was protesting the town's limitations on how he could use said land. I was in the care of people with very poor judgement to let me witness such a thing, protest is one thing, but they are a frightening group of people.
As I grew up and learned in school the history behind them, my eyes would well up imagining the terror they imposed on others. I was a reletively safe bistander, and it pains me to think how it would feel to be a person truly affected by their cause.
Freedom of speech and protest still exists so it is difficult to take those rights away. We can however condem them for all past and present acts of violence and intended installation of dread in others. They are worthy of zero respect. I don't even like talking about it, spending my time and thoughts on them, but I felt compelled to answer. I cannot personally grasp any intellectual foundation, justification, motivation for them to exist.
In short, I think they define evil. My eyes well up at the mention of them.

Apart from our morals contradicting their beliefs, we are taught in History Class to have a bias against groups such as the KKK. A good comparison is to that of Adolf Hitler, striving for one true race free of "impurities." To that, I say F*** YOU! "Impurities?!" Honestly, if the KKK was called an "impurity" and hunted down by a bunch of minority groups, oh man, would THEY feel sorry.
If you are considering joining or something, uhhh . . please don't. Make the world a better place by not making it worse.

Stupidity mixed with evil. And by the way, Christianity has NO PLACE for evil. The idiots above who think the kkk has anything to do with Christianity are just intolerant anti-Christians, which is just as bad as being intolerant of any other religion or skin color. But, since they are idiots, they just don't even realize...

Naturally, I can't talk for people, only for myself. The ku ku klan is just that, a bunch of kookes. At one time they murdered blacks, almost at will. Now they make me think of a bunch of kids pretending to be big bad boys.
To them, dressing up in white sheets and parading around like a bunch of idiots gives them some sort of satisfaction. They enjoy the publicity that they get.
Once in a while, they burn a cross. Big deal, who cares so long as nothing is harmed. If they like burning crosses, or anything else, they can pile them up and burn them behind my house, especially on a cold day.

They're ignorant and very simple minded. The KKK are people who have nothing else better to do than harass beautiful Black people b/c they're jealous and they have problems within themselves

Their just another group that has the idea, their thoughts and ideas are superior to all others and that they themselves are superior. Unfortunately, to achieve success, they have to promote hate, and attempt to undermine and destroy any other race, belief, idea or thought. Although, as with any group, few claims could hold truth, the method of remedy is usually harmful and injected with the thought that, if you're not with us, then you're against us, and therefore you're the enemy. There are many other groups, but with different names.

Hateful, ignorant, evil,unacceptable and just down right dispicable! They really hate themselves,because if they didn't feel so threatened by other races and cultures then they wouldn't have the need to try to feel so superior..they'd just be comfortable with themselves without having to resort to such acts of hatred,violence and even murder.

They are a reserved, highly-intellectual group of philosophers and social activists who embrace the notion of God's Unconditional Love, seeking to express that Love by looking for unity among all His creations. Their group entry requirements are demanding and very strict, with tests for intelligence and empathy required. They are non-judgemental and are akin to Zen and Tibetan buddhists, who seek to love and honor everything and everyone.

Unfortunately I feel that they have the right to speak their mind, and to express their feelings in matters that they feel are relevant. However, if these thoughts are acted upon, then I am against them as a group.

I feel the same about it as I do the NAACP.Groups of people trying to show pride in their own race and trying to use it to a political advantage.
