Gerald: I literally quoted you the guys that started the clan talking about scaring off black people first and mentioning carpetbaggers as an aside. You are the one trying to whitewash history just so you can be technically correct.

The KKK was founded to fight back against all forms of black populations living in the south, so yes it did include attacking those that were friendly to blacks.

Do you not get that everything the KKK did was to solidify the south as a strong hold for white dominance. They attacked those carpetbaggers because they came down with their high minded ideals of black people being equal. The scummy ones that were war profiteers got attacked too.

You are trying to make it sound like the clan was more worried about whites supporting blacks than the actually black people them selves.

You are long on opinion but light on facts. Should I post the quotes of the people that started the clan again so you can read in their own words?
