A few days ago on my local news it showed a rally of kkk members. It seems a group of people have started it back up in my area. It actually showed them in gordonsville, virginia, usa. This is less than 25 miles from my house. I am more than a little botherd by this. They also say that they have been in the Charlottesville area which is 40 minutes from my home dropping off pamhlets at certain people's homes and say they are planning this huge rally to take place in charlottesville. It actually showed them on the new's the other night. They want they're head office to be in charlottesville. What do you guys think about this? I'm very troubled by this.

They have been around, they actually have a base type place in West Virginia that trains and educates them, as well as produces music and media to distribute. Fortunately, their rallies are very scarcely populated. The last one I saw on the news had about 11 people at it.

This is where the problem comes from.Although the KKK seemed in the past to do nothing but cause problems between various ethnic groups,it still has a right to exist according to the the American Constitution.
Hopefully like the vast majority of people,I understand this and therefore will do nothing to help support them.I do not like what the KKK itself stood for nor what its members believed.
The more publicity they get,the easier for them to recruit people.

i do not belive the kkk should be allowed to be protected under the consitution. they are a terrorist organisation. imagine how america would feel if the black panther's would have murderd thousands of innocent white americans (along with italian, asian, hispanic and other race of americans including black women)
do i belive white americans should have rights along with other americans ? yes every one deserves to have rights to freedom , liberty and happiness. will racism always be around ? yes it will be weather or not the klan is here today or gone tommorrow. should white americans be proud to be white ? yes they should and i also belive other race of americans should stop assuming every white man woman and child is racist because this is not the case.
but i don't belive the klan should be allowed to funtion, not even under the constitution. alott of my ancestor's were murderd by the kkk. in my granfather's journal he spoke of wanting to great things in the land of the free, but couldn't because he was black. america was build by the raw bloody hands of my ancestor's where is the justice for them ? no amount of money will ever take away the fact that alott of my ancestor's were killed because they were black ...isn't it only fair that the klan hangs up it's sheets for good ? we are only doomed to repeat history if we don't take the time to remeber it and make change.

wow ! you know i look back at my responce to your disscussion i made a few days ago and you know i feel alttle guilty for what i wrote ! i would hate for you to think that i'm a black surpremist or black separtist or anythuing of that nature. i just feel that the kkk should not be allowed to funtion, living here in the u.s. will that stop racism ? it won't but justice will be done by disbanding that hateful group to the thousands of men. women and children who lost they're lives to them (justice for everyone regardless of skin color, ethnicity or religion)

I think that no matter what you do or say there is no way that you will ever be able to stop it cause if they don't open up a chapel that the world knows about they will just open up a secret chapel that the world doesn't know about and those are the ones that you want to fear cause those are the ones that are hiding among us and are capable of doing bad things.
