Do Americans know the Council of CONSERVATIVE Citizens is a racist organization?

Question

According to the jewish ADL, it traces its roots directly to the racist, anti-integrationist White Citizens' Councils of the 1950s and 1960s. It was the known as the country club version of the KKK. It has been connected to Trent Lott and Bob Barr, both of which have since repudiated their connections with this racist organization.

Its current leader, attorney Gordon Lee Baum, was an organizer for the WCC and built the Council of Conservative Citizens in part from the old group's mailing lists. Like its predecessor, the CCC inflames fears and resentments, particularly among Southern whites, with regard to black-on-white crime, nonwhite immigration, attacks on the Confederate flag and other issues related to "traditional" Southern culture.

"A slew of white citizens groups sprang up to oppose desegregation. The most widespread was the White Citizen's Council, called the "country club Klan" by its critics because members included governors, judges, and congressmen."
