Related: About this forumTYT: KKK Invites Blacks, Jews, Gays & Hispanics To Join

"White supremacist organisation, the Ku Klux Klan is rebranding as the "new Klan" by trying to increase membership to Jews, black people, gays and those of Hispanic origin.
However, all those wanting to join the ultra-right wing society will have to wear the white robes, masks and conical hats. The Klan is estimated to have between 5,000 and 8,000 members according to figures released in 2012. *

I have some serious trust issues with the KKK, and I am not sure what this platform means. I would love for the KKK to become a peace-loving organization, but their history isn't even close to peace loving. They have been domestic terrorists for generations, whatever that term may mean.

The Rocky Mountain Knights are a chapter of the Green Knights, the military motorcycle club and I would hate to see their good name tarnished due to this situation.
