“Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of several past and present organizations in the United States that have advocated white supremacy, anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, anti-Communism and nativism. These organizations have often used terrorism, violence, and acts of intimidation, such as cross lighting, to oppress African Americans and other social or ethnic groups.”

‘KKK’ stands for ‘Ku Klux Klan’. It is an organization (primarily american, although I believe they have members in other countries as well) which promotes the view that white people are genetically superior to people of other races (most specifically blacks, as well as possibly jews), and that genetically inferior races should be looked down upon and treated as lesser members of society, if not as animals. Many Klan members are considered neo-nazis, and look up to Hitler and the nazi racist ideology in place under Hitler’s regime. Although the more recent incarnations of the Ku Klux Klan are more moderate and less violent than their early 20th century predecessors, they are still widely considered dangerous and rather evil and insane people.

When I was a kid I wrote a report about them – they were started after the Civil War in the south to keep the old racist society alive. They were quite strong in the 20s, and they fought against equal rights for minorities in the south during the 60s. These days, they hate everyone – Jews, Blacks, Latinos, etc. They used to hate Catholics, but they don’t talk much about them anymore. They are the strongest racists organization in America, generally targeting the young and disaffected. But simply, they are a bunch of racist morons.

The kkk are a group of people prejudice against interracial people. I would say they have to much time on their hands.
