OC for decades has been a white-Conservative stronghold. This headline shocks me as much as a Democrat candidate campaigning for more gun control. This ain't "news"; it's continuation of the 'status quo'!
Has the KKK had any negative impact on your being successful in life?
La Raza is MUCH bigger.
Of course the KKK is a disgusting organization, but it is pretty much a historical relic with as much impact as your tonsils.
For every one Black that the KKK has killed in the past 10 years (if any), the Crips have killed 1,000 (at least), the Bloods another 1,000 (at least), the SM134 another 1,000 (at least). Add in another 50 gangs that I have run across in the last 30 years of criminal defense and you probably have a ratio of 50,000 to 1.
Now, let's get to the number of Hispanics killed by Hispanic or Black gangs. And this is the start.
Again, the KKK is not defenable.
But it is such a petty problem compared to the people who are killing minorities.
But they are an easy target.
Based of the information that you dncphil have given.
Would the members be considered a minority group?
... and would the organization be protected under hate crime law
Not exactly the KKK, but 50 years ago Lenny Bruce had a routine that he did about the American Nazi Party and what a joke it was. He said then that it consisted of 4 old white guys and 6 undercover FBI agents tracking seditious groups.
It was funny then because they were already endangered.
The danger these groups represent is beyond meaningless compared to the 8 murder cases currently active on my floor (my office is to messy for a file cabinet) of young blacks and Hispanics dead by gangs.
motivates that person the most ?
Have any buddies that played big time D-1 college football or basketball ?
Ask them about all the hot co-eds with their legs spread .
