The KKK's beginnings

[Deems]

The klan was formed after the civil war. It was about pride. Now, thats not a bad thing in itsself..... Be proud of who you are and your ancestry. I agree with that . Im not going to tan .. EVER! But , Im a freckle face scotch-welsh and Im OK with that , actually, Im proud. No problem there....

Then the Klan went further. Now its a problem. When you take your pride and step on another.... its WRONG. They were mad at losing to the Union soldiers. They were angry at the state of their homeland after the civil war.. their fields werent plowable... and who ( now that they didnt have slaves) was going to plow? The economic hardships of the south after the war was horrible. What was there to do ? Band together. Pride in who we are .. Yeah ! .... then they went too far with the lets hate ....
Lets hate those slaves who left us ... the catholics and ther jews. ( why ? No clue but their hated) . So they changed pride into hate others. The Klan hates jews, catholics and blacks... also anyone who isnt white. They were hitler BEFORE Hitler was born.

What is the current klan doing? They have formed local militia's. They refrain from their many 88 tats. ( 88= H is the 8th letter... so hail hitler) to go into the US military learn how to shoot/kill/hunt etc.. and get out after their 4 yrs. Then they get tatted... and we have a new US trained militia who is now terrorizing our patrolmen.

After a confirmed kill, patrolman or otherwise, they gain the ability to wear red laces in their boots. These people breed!
RUBY RIDGE anyone?

theres been three clans...


(wiki)

The first Klan was founded in 1865 by Tennessee veterans of the Confederate Army. Groups spread throughout the South. Its purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by assaulting, murdering and intimidating freedmen and white Republicans, members of the abolitionist movement. The KKK quickly adopted violent methods. The increase in murders finally resulted in a backlash among Southern elites who viewed the Klan's excesses as an excuse for federal troops to continue occupation.

In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed legislation known as the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Prosecution and enforcement suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations such as the White League and Red Shirts started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office in certain Deep South states. These contributed to white Democrats regaining political power in the southern states.

In 1915, the second Klan was founded. It grew rapidly in a period of postwar social tensions, where industrialization in the North attracted numerous waves of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and the Great Migration of Southern blacks and whites. In reaction, the second KKK preached racism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Communism, nativism, and anti-Semitism. Some local groups took part in lynchings, attacks on private houses and public property, and other violent activities. Members used ceremonial cross burning to intimidate victims. The Klan committed the most murders and violence in the South, which had a tradition of lawlessness.[3]

The second Klan was a formal fraternal organization, with a national and state structure. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the organization included about 15% of the nation's eligible population, approximately 4–5 million men.[4] Internal divisions and external opposition brought about a sharp decline in membership, which had dropped to about 30, 000 by 1930, and the Klan's popularity fell further during the Great Depression and World War II.

The name Ku Klux Klan has since been used by many independent groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[6] Several members of KKK-affiliated groups were convicted of manslaughter and murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, the assassination of NAACP organizer Medgar Evers, and the murders of three civil rights workers in Mississippi. Today, researchers estimate there may be more than 150 Klan chapters with 5, 000-8, 000 members nationwide. The U.S. government classifies them as hate groups, with operations in separated small local units.

Most don't realize that blacks owned as many, if not more slaves than whites.

Slavery
"Black slavery was first begin in Jamestown, VA. but not as you might imagine...

Indentured "servants" of every race and nationality were common in the colonies, many if not most were white. Indentures sold their labors to pay the debt of their passage to the New World. At the close of their contract they were often paid a wage and freed to start their new life.

One Anthony Johnson was, a successful planter, ambitious and wealthy. He farmed 250 acres of prime land while many others were barely existing.

He was both highly respected and intelligent, records show he never lost a case in any court. Anthony Johnson was a black man probably of Angolan descent, and you will not hear his exploits lauded during black history month.

By 1619 blacks were a common commodity traded by Dutch merchantmen for food and supplies.

In 1653 Anthony Johnson decided in a court of law to sue to prove he owned an African a slave named Castor.

On March 8, 1655 the courts ruled in his favor deciding the slave John Castor was indeed the property of Anthony Johnson. This was the first time on this continent a court had ruled it was legal for one human being to own another.

In the state of LA in 1860 there were at least six Negroes in Louisiana who owned 65 or more slaves, widow C. Richard and her son P. C. Richard's owned 152 slaves. Antoine Dubuclet, owned over 100 slaves. In Charleston, SC 125 free negroes owned slaves. six of them owned ten or more. In fact if anyone will take the time to check they will find that the blacks owned as many slaves if not more than the whites. In New Orleans. Justus Angel, Mistress L. Horry, of Colleton, SC, District owned 84 slaves in 1830. The facts are in 1830 one fourth of the free Negroes slave masters in SC owned 10 or more slaves.

It is estimated that only about six percent of Southerners at the outbreak of the war owned any slaves at all, and an even smaller number were wealthy enough to afford the hundreds of laborers which are often associated with Southern agrarianism.

William Ellison, was wealthy planter, he the third largest slave holder in South Carolina. A staunch supporter of the Confederacy one of his sons fought for the Confederacy in an artillery unit. William Ellison, a former Negro slave, owned more than sixty Negro slaves putting him the top 5% of slaveholders in all of South Carolina.

Gen. Robert E. Lee freed his slaves prior to the War.

Gen. U.S. Grant did not free his slaves until 8 months after the Armistice."

I'm surprise Mr. Racist Himself isn't all up in this thread.

RUBY RIDGE anyone?
Your thoughts?

My thoughts on Ruby Ridge are the same as the attack in Waco.

Government assholes over stepping their bounds and murdering American citizens.

Right up there with, but in a different manner, the skulduggery that was pulled in Texas where child abuse/molestation was alleged and children were separated from parents. Only to be quietly returned later.

[CULPRITE_INC]

Not to mention the fact that Africans, black Africans, sold other blacks into slavery to white people, so February remember that.

I love my country but this government has to be reigned in some.

[StoneTheCrow]

I have no opinion on Ruby Ridge, I wasn't there.

[4nik8]

A man his family were slaughtered.

I wasn't there either but I do pay attention to what's happening in the world.

Here's an excerpt:

Before being deployed, the snipers had been given military style rules of engagement that contradicted standard FBI deadly force policy, what some snipers later described as a "green light" to "shoot on sight".[22] Before the negotiators arrived, an FBI HRT sniper, Lon Horiuchi, shot and wounded Randy Weaver in the back with the bullet exiting his right armpit, while he was lifting the latch on the shed to visit the body of his dead son.[23] Then, as Weaver, his 16-year-old daughter Sara,[24] and Harris ran back toward the house, Horiuchi fired a second bullet, which struck passed through Vicki Weaver's head, killing her, and wounded Harris in the chest. Vicki Weaver was standing behind the door through which Harris was entering the house, holding their 10-month-old baby Elisheba[24] in her arms.[25] The Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility Ruby Ridge Task Force Report (10 June 1994) stated in section I. Executive Summary subhead B. Significant Findings that the second shot did not satisfy Constitutional standards for legal use of deadly force. That review also found the lack of a request to surrender was "inexcusable", since Harris and the two Weavers were running for cover without returning fire and were not an imminent threat. The task force also specifically blamed Horiuchi for firing through the door, not knowing whether someone was on the other side of it. While controversy exists as to who issued the orders that were being followed by the sniper, the task force also condemned the so-called "rules of engagement" allowing shots to be fired with no request for surrender.[23]

Yeah.

I don't consider the family at Ruby Ridge to be, in ANY way, considered a Militia ... hate group style or otherwise.

Why is that, because I'm not gonna sit here and rant and rave about something I don't know about? That's ridiculous.



On an afterthought, pretty plain I'm not a big debater of issues. I do agree what happened was fucked up, no matter how it got started it shouldn't have went down that way. I state my opinion and move on.
