Just a couple more comments on this thread from me: (1) I would have to
concur with Hawk's post in substance. I've only met one admitted Klan member
personally but I know they are around. although impotent. We did have a
nationally publicized shoot out here about 20 years ago between the Klan and
Socialists and there are true horror stories, but don't buy into rhetoric from
"pop stars" like Mia Angelo (I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings). I don't think
anyone would pay any attention to her if she hadn't read an awful poem at
Clinton's 1992 Inagural. Duke University pays her a tenured salary not to
teach. (2) My father grew up in Chicago and lived in SC for a few years after
he married my mother. What he said to her is similiar to Dick Gregory's. .....

the South you love him as an individual and hate him as a race."

and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
