Trump has enabled these people. It's going to be a very bad 4 years if you're not white.

These guys again? I thought KKK is dead since i haven't heard them again on the news

[QUOTE=Zufeng;51353169]These guys again? I thought KKK is dead since i haven't heard them again on the news[/QUOTE] They never were fully dead, but Trump and the alt-right have given them a new lease of life.

That website looks like it was made in early 2000.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51353171]They never were fully dead, but Trump and the alt-right have given them a new lease of life.[/QUOTE] Yeah,and now they got even more worse than before because trump is elected.

[QUOTE=Zufeng;51353169]These guys again? I thought KKK is dead since i haven't heard them again on the news[/QUOTE] From what I have heard here and there the KKK have had a resurgence in recent years. Like, a big one.

[QUOTE=Megadave;51353172]That website looks like it was made in early 2000.[/QUOTE] Their organisation still thinks it's 1860 so at least they're consistent

[QUOTE=Megadave;51353172]That website looks like it was made in early 2000.[/QUOTE] To be fair it's fitting, considering that the KKK is a relic of the past. edit: damn you ethan.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51353168]Trump has enabled these people. It's going to be a very bad 4 years if you're not white.[/QUOTE] You sound like the idiots in '08 screaming about how Obama was gonna destroy white America

[QUOTE=Megadave;51353172]That website looks like it was made in early 2000.[/QUOTE] Nah, It's using a table for it's formatting before the 2000's but that method was still used for a fairly long time after.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51353235]You sound like the idiots in '08 screaming about how Obama was gonna destroy white America[/QUOTE] I would like to believe I've taken a very measured reaction to this election. Trump has enabled these views. I don't think you can say otherwise.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51353235]You sound like the idiots in '08 screaming about how Obama was gonna destroy white America[/QUOTE] Trump isn't going to destroy America and he never was. I'm guilty of some of the doomsaying, too. But Trump himself isn't the major concern - a certain subsection of his supporters are. Obama didn't enable black supremacy in the same way that Trump's victory is enabling white supremacy. His style of campaign has permanently changed how politics will work in this country and the discourse surrounding it. Hate and fear from both sides was challenged and legitimized by Trump. His victory has been an unfortunate rallying cry for an enormous number of hateful racial supremacy movements - on both ends of the political spectrum. The American Nazi Party has gained an enormous amount of support. The KKK is actively recruiting. This isn't doomsaying about how Trump will ruin the US and make FEMA death camps and steal all of our vegan burgers and gay bars, it's about a genuine and noticeable growth in actual white supremacy traveling in his campaign's wake. It's genuinely concerning. There is a deep, deep fear that hasn't been seen following an election like this in a long time. It's hard to express and it's not just from a fringe group of conspiracy theorists like it usually was in 08 - I've had dozens of conversations with Muslim friends, LGBTQ friends, international students, and many other people who are almost paralyzed with fear for their own personal safety. And my state went Blue. My county went red. This is not normal. I wasn't scared of Romney winning. I wasn't scared of McCain winning. People were embarrassed when Bush won, but they weren't scared of him and his supporters during his presidency - they were scared of terrorism and war. This is different. It's concerning and uncommon in US history.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51353286]Obviously that is completely wrong and not Trumps fault. Byut you cant tell me he hasnt enabled the KKK which is what im talking about.[/QUOTE] Some of it is a result of Trump, though. That man is not being attached for being white - he's being attacked for his political views. Which are related to Trump. It's unjustifiable by every measure, but it's distinctly a result of Trump winning. White supremacists are generally much less discriminate. Not white? You're a target. Interracial couple? The white man there is encouraging white genocide by polluting his genes. They hate all non-whites and many whites, too. The group in that video hate a certain political group. Trump is legitimizing both forms of hatred, and it should concern everyone.

[QUOTE=Megadave;51353172]That website looks like it was made in early 2000.[/QUOTE] For guys stuck in the 1940s, that's impressive. There's likely not a single group of bigots who have actually managed to design a website that doesn't make you want to die.

[QUOTE=.Isak.;51353266] Obama didn't enable black supremacy in the same way that Trump's victory is enabling white supremacy.[/QUOTE] You're right, its not the same way, Obama is far worse(so far). Obama enabled the Black Panthers to come out of the shadows and "guard" polling places to make sure everything is on the up n up. Obama and Lynch enabled BLM by telling them keep it up, youre fighting the good fight in Ferguson and Baltimore. Obama jumped to conclusions in high profile cases before the facts ever came out and reaffirmed their fears that police are out to get them. Black supremacists in Dallas and Baton Rouge murdered police officers because their fears were reaffirmed with lies from DC and the media. What has Trump enabled other than people saying racist/homophobic shit? The Klan is a joke. They planned a huge show of force to combat the rioting in Ferguson and like 4 dudes showed up, walked around for a few minutes, and left. I'm eager to see how many actually attend this.

I'm eager to see how many actually attend this.[/QUOTE] The Black Panthers haven't existed since the 1980s. The people guarding like a single polling station a few years back were the New Black Panther Party - a registered hate group and black supremacist group. They have less membership than the modern-day KKK. They monitored almost no polling stations and Obama never once asked his supporters to monitor polling stations - Trump did, without clarifying if he meant "monitor by being scary" or "sign up as a legal election monitor who watches people sort ballots for hours." The fact that you consider BLM a black supremacy movement tells me what I need to know. Anti-police? Arguable. Black supremacist? Definitely not, and all you need to do is look at the racial makeup of BLM protests to see how definitively not-black-supremacist it is. It actively condemned the Dallas shooter (influenced by the New Black Panthers hate group!). Don't underestimate how "saying racist/homophobic shit" can energize racists and homophobes. The KKK is generally far too direct and has such a strong history to ever get mainstream support. But white nationalism is a surprisingly common belief in the alt-right, and Trump is the figurehead and idol of the alt-right. There are multiple analyses of internet behavior and political behavior that show that white nationalism is on the rise. No, there aren't public lynchings, but the very concept of "America is for white people" and the racism and xenophobia that comes with it is rapidly growing.

That's pretty much factual, stop playin dude. Black supremacists? Don't underestimate how "saying white people(and the patriarchy :v:) are systematically genociding black people with state violence" can energize racists. Seriously, go to their site and start replacing Black with White and tell me it doesn't turn into something the Klan or Stormfront would write. Hell you don't even need to change anything [QUOTE]Black lives. Not just all lives. Black lives. Please do not change the conversation by talking about how your life matters, too. It does, but we need less watered down unity and a more active solidarities with us, Black people, unwaveringly, in defense of our humanity.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;xJpWiV-zLoM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJpWiV-zLoM[/video] Nope, nothing to see here, no black supremacy, move along.

If BLM is allowed to march in the streets, KKK should be allowed as well. They've the same mind mentality, and it'd be unfair to stop one or the other from doing so. If they're not actively harming people unlike BLM, then they're already proving that they're the more peaceful side. However, if they actively hurt coloured people on this event, then I will eat my own words.

They're entirely different groups with different goals and calls to action. I guess you've got some dank video clips and twitter screenshots of people saying kill whitey in store, and I don't care about those. If we look at what the larger movement is doing and advocating for as a whole, it's overall a good thing and it's glad that somebody is finally stepping up to police brutality, it affects us all, it just affects them disproportionately leading to the name "black lives matter." Remember that every movement has its scum, and black lives matter in particular is fairly decentralized by design. You can still disagree with them of course, but saying that they're the KKK is a bit far and unjust. [QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51353729]From the kkk website:[/QUOTE] Even in the heyday of American racism people still often would avoid being outright simply racist. They'd always have excuses, just like that. Blacks are disproportionately raping white women, so because of that lynching is a necessary evil that we mustn't abolish. Blacks belong in slavery because they won't survive outside of it, just look at this cool phrenology. Stuff like that.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51353246]I would like to believe I've taken a very measured reaction to this election. Trump has enabled these views.

Its called freedom of assembly and if you dont go lynching clinton voters than theres nothing wrong with it.

[QUOTE=Jouska;51353795]You do know the KKK has been doing marches every since they were created right?[/QUOTE] They don't often do it so openly, it usually does correlate with events. Otherwise they usually get ran out by counter protests

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;51353807]They don't often do it so openly, it usually does correlate with events. Otherwise they usually get ran out by counter protests[/QUOTE] Um yeah they do them opening. These guys gave no fucks even knowing they are one of the most dispise people in america.

Because they feel vindicated, just like past reactionary marches

Also its just the fact the media largely ignored them and so did most people since they usually gain permits from cities to assemble in public like this. Trump winning isnt why the KKK if marching in the streets lol, they march all the time. You are just noticing and the media are pointing their cameras at them BECAUSE Trump won.
