KKK Quotes

Racism is evil -- and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America. As a candidate I promised to restore law and order to our country and our federal law enforcement agencies are following through on that pledge. We will spare no resource in fighting so that every American child can grow up free from violence and fear. We will defend and protect the sacred rights of all Americans and we will work together so that every citizen in this blessed land is free to follow their dreams, in their hearts, and to express the love and joy in our souls. (Donald Trump)
Our nation bringing slaves from Africa was the biggest hate crime of all. Then, when the slaves were freed, there wasn't anywhere for them to go. Then came the reign of terror by the KKK that never really ended. Then there is the fact that none of this stuff is taught in American History, at least not in detail. View quote

Keepe pursed his lips, nodded. "We're already in a very strong position in this country, of course. We've taken over all of the antigovernment militias, most of the religious groups who think of themselves as conservative, plus what's left of the KKK and the American Nazi party, but they're only pocket change. We now own the Republican party. Any moderates still hiding in there have been flushed out. We've been managing the press for over twenty years now, and the public is accustomed to our view of the world.” Jagger paid attention. "I didn't realize...” "Oh, yes. People don't want to absorb new information. They like predictability. So as long as we don't surprise the public with the truth, we're free to move as we like. Very shortly we won't even have to be covert about it. And then, of course, people are sick of issues. Civil rights, human rights, women's rights-people are tired of all that. You understand?”.

But when I was doing the KKK I had constant nightmares of being exposed as a Jew and lynched by the Klan. View quote
Jon Ronson
If the KKK was smart enough, they would've created gangsta rap because it's such a caricature of black culture and black masculinity. View quote

"There's been all kinds of confusion about the Leviticans. Some kind of imagined link to the Ku Klux Klan.” "Maybe it's because of the burning crosses,” Phil suggested, deadpan. "Supposedly the KKK burned crosses,” Ted said with a roll of the eyes. "There's no ‘supposedly' about it,” Anne-Solenne started in. "What are you even-” But Sophia silenced her with a hand on the arm. There was no point. "If that is even true, it has no connection to our burning crosses, which have a completely different significance,” Ted announced. View quote

But saying that White power and privilege is at an all-time high is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s when The Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay at the same hotel as the White people they were working with? Higher than during slavery? View quote
