This article uses hate defined by SPLC. They are very controversial, very far left and call a lot of church and conservative groups who have nothing to do with racism a hate group. Very low credibility.
All I know is that there are new KKK groups popping up all over the USA.
And White Supremacists.
They’re even in my state in small towns.
You don’t have to believe it.
You don’t have to care.
But I do.
I am absolutely shocked by the extraordinary amount of KKK rallies that pop up on here. I've never seen anything like that in my half century here on earth. I was completely unaware that they were so active.
Do they not gather in major metropolitan areas maybe? I'm in Chicago, so is that it? It's probably for the best that I haven't ever run into those morons. I'd likely end up in need of bail money.
I can't say about your area, only about mine. After Charlottesville, we had an incredible uptick in Virginia Flaggers. They are not the same as KKK but still scary. They have been emboldened over the past couple of years to the point that they have their own store front and are present at many town events. This is a tourist town so there are lots of events - every weekend. Threats have been made but they are veiled making it hard to make a police report. I have been threatened and am frightened. My family is frightened. My husband works for the sheriff's department and that is no comfort. We tend to just stay low and appreciate the knowledge that we have good friends. I am a target because I work with small business owners who grow/produce local products. This is seen as subversive. Honestly, I say "f**k them" every single day and that gives me strength. f**k them all.
