The KKK

The Ku Klux Klan was the most infamous, white supremacist, American hate group of all. The Klan saw itself as a Christian organization, targeting Catholics and Jews. They burned crosses; had parades and marches, all of them on the purpose of denouncing immigrants, Blacks, gays, and lesbians -- in addition to the religious groups they already targeted. The Klan was founded in 1866, and extended into almost every Southern state by 1970.


"We are a Christian militant organization and are ever ready to stand behind the Protestant Church as long as it remains Protestant. We are not Anti-Catholic, Anti-Jew, Anti-Negro, or Anti-anything, but are PRO-AMERICAN."
