The KKK was quite the crew back in the 60s, but at least there was "enough" credibility that you had business owners, people of the community that held powerful positions in the Klan. However, despite the fact we have a long ways to go, every single interview I've seen with present day aryans/klan shows these people to be absolutely horrendous spokesmen, stupid, redneck, moronic...The Klan siding with this police officer and being so vocal about it MAY just be a good thing in the end.

(12,608 posts)6. Do the owners of these business have to go through 'white checkpoints' before getting protection?
you know to prove they are 'white' and not Jewish or half white?
kkk: 'were here to protect your business sir'
owner: 'oh?"
kkk: ' but first you have to prove you are all white, and not Jewish.
owner: 'well my father was Irish and my mother was Russian'?
kkk: Russian hu? We'll get back with you about the Russian family line.
