Alabama KKK Rolls Include Politicians, Teachers, Medical Professionals, Military [View all]

After eight months of negotiations, a BBC film crew was granted permission to conduct exclusive interviews with members of one of the United States’ most notorious hate groups, the Ku Klux Klan.

Located in rural Alabama, the Loyal White Knights claims to be the largest and most powerful KKK chapter in the country. Leaders of the Klan claim their membership rolls include politicians, teachers, hospital staff and others, saying, “Most of the majority of our people are in the military. We all have our concealed weapons permits.”...

While Klan members refused to give the names of political leaders they claim belong to the Loyal White Knights, it isn’t all that hard to spot them in a crowd. All you need to do is listen for the Nazi propaganda.

The tactic of manipulating people through religion has been used by various hate groups throughout the centuries, but the technique was perfected in Nazi Germany. Hitler understood all too well how that the most efficient way to convince people to perpetrate evil upon their fellow man is to convince them that they’re doing it for God.
