BLM and KKK similarities

[MaryL]

Poor black culture is a huge detriment to our society. Poor blacks are comparable
to poor hillbilly white trash. But worse. Compare county music to "rap".

I know, I know. But it isn't as far fetched as it sounds. Most of you history folks know the old saying;"those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it". We all know about the 1914 upsurge in popularity in the KKK after the silent film "Birth of a Nation? Other wise it was dying. (the KKK) Politicians at the time (Denver mayor Stapleton aligned with the KKK) just for political expediency...not that he really believed that popular fleeting angry mob mentality . We are repeating history here. Chinese meddling? This impeachment, corona 19 and BLM riots didn't just happen spontaneously.

Except the KKK exists to destroy other people. BLM movement is simply to get the equal treatment they’ve been promised.

how do you white supremacists live with yourselves?

KKK doesn’t believe that Black LIves Matter

Neither do those who use that slogan. It's a lie. If they really cared about black lives, in general, then they'd be doing something about the abortion industry, which disproportionately slaughters black children; and they'd be doing something about all the black-on-black crime.

I don't like the "Matter" part of it. There's always a "matter" of some criminal charge or another in court, and the KKK is trotting out BLM as an internet "meme" to put black people in their place.

There's a Bureau of Land Management, the Ku Klux Klan is hard at work with the Democratic Party banning guns for non-members, and suggestively selling grave plots.

Jillian, you could have just come right out and said you were stoned out of your mind.

It would have been easier.

What do conservatives call black women who choose not to abort their babies?

Why do you keep spamming the board with your half truths and confused state of mind about BLM and the KKK? One cannot be the same as the other because of its opposite ends of the political spectrum on race.? When Birth of a Nation was made there was no KKK


The first Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, on December 24, 1865[22] by six former officers of the Confederate army:[23] Frank McCord, Richard Reed, John Lester, John Kennedy, J. Calvin Jones and James Crowe.[24] It started as a fraternal social club inspired at least in part by the then largely defunct Sons of Malta. It borrowed parts of the initiation ceremony from that group, with the same purpose: "ludicrous initiations, the baffling of public curiosity, and the amusement for members were the only objects of the Klan", according to Albert Stevens in 1907.[25] The manual of rituals was printed by Laps D. McCord of Pulaski.[26]


In 1915, the second Klan was founded atop Stone Mountain, Georgia by William Joseph Simmons. While Simmons relied on documents from the original Klan and memories of some surviving elders, the revived Klan was based significantly on the wildly popular film, The Birth of a Nation. The earlier Klan had not worn the white costumes or burned crosses; these were aspects introduced in the book on which the film was based. When the film was shown in Atlanta in December of that year, Simmons and his new klansmen paraded to the theater in robes and pointed hoods—many on robed horses—just like in the movie. These mass parades would become another hallmark of the new Klan that had not existed in the original Reconstruction-era organization.[34]




The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by numerous independent local 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.[42] Several members of Klan groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964 and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963.

Very informative!

Both the KKK and BLM have close ties to the Democratic Party and both seem to share an animosity towards Christian Churches.

Don't think you could be wronger if you and a committee worked on it for a week. The Klan has never had a political affiliation, went out of its way (in both iterations) to define itself as NONpolitical, and in fact not only supported Christian churches but REQUIRED membership in them to be a Klanner at all.

You're just making it up as you go, amirite?

The KKK started as a innocuous group that had no real political ambitions and wasn't about race hatred or domination.The BLM, same thing. But both sorta mutated. And from there, the similarities go on. Ethnic intimidation, the political domineering. The similarity is when a certain group attains are certain level of power, they tend to take it to the extreme. Tell me what positive constructive thing the kkk, er, BLM has done to outweigh the billions in damage and the racial animosity the kkk, er BLM has caused? The KKK did this same thing in 1915. Now the BLM in 2020. How progressive.
