THE KU KLUX KLAN
Ku Klux Klan is the name adopted by
several right-wing organizations in America,which were created in the
nineteenth century. They mainly promoted xenophobia, and the supremacy of the
white race, homophobia, anti-Semitism, racism and anti-communism. Often, these
organizations have resorted to terrorism, violence and intimidation as burning
crosses, to oppress their victims.
In the 50's segregation was accepted in the South.
Furthermore, the "separate but equal" was only a half true. Blacks
enjoyed little freedom in these times of little racial stability. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States
outlawed racial segregation in schools, and this decision triggered a wave of
protests in the south. Across southern emerged independent klanes. The ancient
sacred ceremony "burning cross" became the preferred by the Klan rite
to sow terror, but they also murdered and assaulted people.

In 1960, the Klan was born to be the
longest of all, when the "Klanes States of America" association was
created. Alongside the figure of Martin Luther King appears as an advocate for
racial rights and, of course, was despised and convirtiose public enemy No. 1
of these people. The city of Birmingham, Alabama, became the main focus of
violence, and the Klan was helped and protected by the State Police making a
"blind eye" to the beatings and killings.
In the early 80's many Klansmen changed
their robes by paramilitary uniforms, with their training camps to work out in
the "shooting black", but fortunately the state intervened and could
be dissolved. It was the end of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Power, but will
always be there, lurking, as they always were cowards. Unable to determine the
number of victims; murdered, mutilated, slaughtered, burned, threatened. the
list is endless. Fanaticism is still present "below the surface"
eager to jump at any time against racial equality, although they've lost the
battle.

Although we believe there are currently no organizations like the KKK we're wrong , these organizations still exist and there are more than we think . In my opinion if we were all aware that racism is bad there would be a less retrograde global level that we have today.
