Racism, Ku Klux Klan og Martin Luther King Jr.

I think that racism is an very interesting topic to talk about because there’s so much of it in the world and there are many ranks about it and I wonder about the KKK why they did what they did.

KKK – Ku Klux Klan.

In the beginning of the Ku Klux Klan was innocent enough. Eight months after the south surrender (in the USA Ofc.) group of six young men living in the village of Pulaski near Nashville, Tennessee decided to relieve their boredom by organizing a social club. . Their meetings would be secret and devoted to elaborate ceremonies. Members would disguise themselves with a costume made up of a sheet to cover their bodies, fanciful masks to hide their faces and pointed headgear that heightened their stature. Their leader would be known as the Grand Cyclops

At first, the Ku Klux Klan focused its anger and violence on African-Americans, on white Americans who stood up for them, and against the federal government which supported their rights. Subsequent incarnations of the Klan, which typically emerged in times of rapid social change, added more categories to its enemies list, including Jews, Catholics (less so after the 1970s), homosexuals, and different groups of immigrants. The Ku Klux Klan have had many breaks and uprising in the time it exited, there are still some that are member of the Ku Klux Klan, but it’s not a big magnitude.
