Did you yank that number outta yer butt?
SPLC estimates at as many as 4 million - Let's just go with 3 million and leave it at that.
Ku Klux Klan
From YOUR LINK, you moron.
"By 1925, when its followers staged a huge Washington, D.C. march, the Klan had as many as 4 million members and, in some states, considerable political power. But a series of sex scandals, internal battles over power and newspaper exposés quickly reduced its influence...."
But today.
"Since the 1970s the Klan has been greatly weakened by internal conflicts, court cases, a seemingly endless series of splits and government infiltration. While some factions have preserved an openly racist and militant approach, others have tried to enter the mainstream, cloaking their racism as mere "civil rights for whites." Today, the Center estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members, split among dozens of different - and often warring - organizations that use the Klan name."
Even the Southern Poverty Law Center gives 8.000 as the UPPER LIMIT, on klan numbers.
Ouch, Dr Love goes down in flames. Facts are not friends of leftists ...
He is angry that he has been given proof, that the Klan is less than ONE PERCENT as big as he thought it was.
I've pointed it out to him, he hasn't denied it, but he can't make the obvious leap that that reveals a problem IN HIM.
Dr. Love's not man enough to just admit he was wrong
Gotta question my "manhood" now guys - REALLY?
The fact is that right wing hate groups in the US have been on the rise ever since Obama was elected. They have remained for the most part underground, but Trump has given them wings and they are now out from under their rocks. Not just the KKK - Neo Nazis, Skinheads, White Nationalists, radical militias, National Socialist Movement, Council of Conservative Citizens and American Freedom Party to name a few. Or as confirmed racist Richard B Spencer would call them collectively, the "Alt-Right". COLLECTIVELY, their numbers would surprise you - I promise.
There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of these assholes. The FBI considers them more dangerous to American citizens than ISIS. Feel free to do a little more research before you start thumping your chests and questioning the manhood of others.
