I'll Bet Its A Family "Tradition"

I bet you'd change your mind if you lived in the Deep South. They don't take kindly to furriners who don't worship Jesus.

I don't go to places where I'm not wanted.

Because in most polite society, racism is frowned upon and being a member of a hate group like the KKK means you will be (rightly) marginalized. This isn't 1963, it's 2013, and hating other people based upon the color of their skin is not something that "good" people do in this country any more. Even gays are getting their due rights, slowly but surely. We have, for the most part, learned from the past when it comes to civil rights. So people who join hate groups, while they do have the right to speak their mind, are looked down upon for being bigots. A KKK member is not someone you should want your child to idolize.

Well, the KKK are a marginal group. They're not even fully racist, they dislike catholics, neither do they have a range of ideologues that have produced a solid ideology that is socially applicable. They're a marginal group, and they want to be a marginal group, so they stay as they are. A marginal group of protestant whites. I am posting in another site that houses nationalists of various countries, and even the white nationalists(from America) I've spoken to there think that the KKK are retarded. As I said, being retarded is something else, but being good, evil, or unmodern is not something for you to decide. You can claim that they are an organisation with a criminal past, they have committed murders and etc., but racism and ethnocentrism do not equal evil, as its generally the basis of all race relations in America as it seems, so why complain about one part, while ignoring the other part? No one really gets shamed for being a Black Panther member. On the other hand, the left in America used to associate with the Black Power movement, even though a nationalistic movement in itself, not just some "civil rights" thing as you think it is.

As you see, we get to the same spot where we started. They obviously are not concerned with the stigma they get from people like you.
