KKK - 150th Anniversary

[CTID1988]

Hating people because of the amount of pigment in their skin, probably the stupidest thing humans have come up with.

Monday on BBC 4: Scotland and the Klan


Scotland has exported many great things to the rest of the world, and people like Neil Oliver have often celebrated the disproportionate impact of its ideas and energy on places like America. The role of Scots in shaping the concept of the American Dream is a story often told, but could Scottish settlers have also had a hand in America's racist nightmare?

Neil travels over 2,000 miles to examine links between racism today in the Deep South and the Scottish settlers that first occupied it. Throughout the 18th century, hundreds of thousands of Scots emigrated to America, and some believe that it was their wariness and moral certainty that significantly shaped the south into an isolated, fearful society that easily took to slave-owning when the opportunity came.

Walter Scott, the creator of a romantic vision of the 'Old Country' is blamed for reinforcing their fantasy world of Georgian gentility. When that world was threatened, the southern states opted for civil war rather than give it up. After the devastating war, attitudes in the south were hardened by defeat and fear of the now-freed slaves. When six Scottish-American former Confederate officers formed a fraternal society, clan turned to Klan.

The oldest and most feared racist hate group in America - the Ku Klux Klan - was born. Now, well over 800 hate groups stalk the United States, and Neil finishes his journey by visiting the Neo-Confederate League of the South. The League advocates a return to a separate southern society run by what they call 'Anglo Celts', and Neil discovers that here Scottishness still abides and that attitudes don't seem to have changed much in the last 200 to 300 years.

They seem to preach anti-immigration (which if they truly believe in, the irony and their idiocy must be completely lost on them), when really it's just a "racial supremacy" thing like the Nazis. I don't see where anyone finds their interest/belief in that.

The film American History X is fantastic at illustrating how misdirected hatred can twist vulnerable people, neo-nazis or terrorists, especially when there's a power grabber taking advantage of them and fueling it.

My neighbour has a reg plate KKK _something.

Sounds enchanting, always amuses me that the thickest, classless whites seem to think they're superior to anyone.

A true measure of their lack of intelligence. You could try to explain that people are white as a result of evolutionary adaptation to less sun as humans moved north.

Sadly he probably doesn't believe in evolution as he is a fundamentalist Christian fucktard, who believes in talking snakes and a floating world zoo.

Spray his door with a black panther symbol, liven things up a bit.

My old reg plate ended in "EDL", and living in a mixed white/asian area at the time it was a topic of quite a few discussions.

There's no Klan to speak of anymore. Maybe a few hundred spread out over some states but it is essentially dead.

This says about 6,500 members.

6,501 when they can find someone who can read and complete Trumps paperwork.

Check out these utter moronic cunts.

After semolina and prunes as a pudding obviously.
