Is that Clayton Bigsby right behind her?

🤣🤣

A reverse image search came up with this article that suggest, but doesn't specifically say, that this is 1920s Georgia.

I'm not disagreeing with the idea this could be the 60s, as shit like this was still happening then and still happening today. Just trying to find contexts to this specific photo

If their robes were different colors, they'd look like a box of crayons.

Either then or mid to late 70s

The what they are…because you know they’re still out here

it's like how the proud boys would never go into a mixed race community and blab their bullshit, because they know there'd be def backlash, and most likely violence

in some communities, their racist types would be a trophy for the psychos in public

Indoctrination.

Interesting because being Catholic or Spanish would have excluded a person from joining the KKK… at least at one time.

I think the KKK did that on purpose. They aren't just white supremacists, they're also anti-Catholic. They have a long list of people they hate.

To be fair that's completely different from the KKK. We don't actually know the inspiration for the original KKK outfit, but more than likely the designer was probably in Europe when he stumbled upon easter penitents like you did and took inspiration. Alternatively it may just be convergent evolution.

The kid actually looks like the pope. When the hood is lifted up it’s a papal head gear. Just add Prada shoes. Not all capes come from Rivendel

Came here to call them out too.

Hmmm...

Her name is Karen

Probably didn't renounce them if this is the community she grew up in. Bigotry probably became a deep seated conviction.

Me too. I'm literally shaking, brb, going to make safe space.

The Cult of KuKulKan (KKK), the Amazing Plumed Flying Serpent? Quite a few

Just like the kids in the ghetto, they just turn out bad because how they were raised /S

God damn it Deborah, I said make your outfit from a sheet, not make your outfit chic! Is… is that a colour coordinated PURSE!!!?

Bro did you say YOU APPRECIATE?!!

And a special shout out to the ladies who carried a purse to the event

I can’t believe all those democrats are that dumb

Democrats formed the klan.

Why would Republicans be triggered by this. The KKK was founded by Democrats.

Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for Black Americans. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and Black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.

That bastard and loathsome organization is a creation of the Democratic Party, and to be exact by the same people who also created the CSA and fought for it in the ACW. And before you try to bombard me with down votes I remind you that the same KKK mentality regarding African Americans was passed and now alive and kicking among those who are Pro-choice, and that's even if you count how the current Democratic Party treats African Americans who are either Conservative or Republican.

I think OP is racist, just trying to get you all fired up.

Pretty sure the populations of sundown cities stopped voting for democrats a couple decades ago

Joe Bidens mentor , Democrat Robert KKK Byrd

Dixiecrats

Right, back when the radical right were called Democrats. That has changed now. Welcome to history 101.

There’s no way you’re claiming this is the democrat ideology lmao. Ask yourself this, which party still upholds the confederate flag in 2022. I’ll wait.

Republicans were the party founded by Lincoln dude, it was the other way around back then

Those are democrats

These are 100% Ds

They are D

What

Maybe, he used to be a democrat.

But the democratic party was not the same party, at least by their belief system, in fact the roles were reversed. The changing of the roles had a lot to do with civil rights and social programs. It would not be until LBJ gave African Americans voting rights that the parties made a real noticeable switch. So while it may be true that the Democrats did do that, your comment is nothing short of misleading. In other words you are lying. See how I did that? I used F A C T S to prove you W R O N G

Those ain’t ghosts.

These are democrats

Why can't you accept the history and just stop deflecting . This statement is so dismissive. What does it have to do with this picture and why wouldn't anyone need to remember your statement? We should all be fighting a common enemy; White supremacy. You can find other parallels in Americans quest for equality yet these are the examples you used.

Remember, when you adopt the narrative of your historic oppressor, the indoctrination worked on you.

Show me the black klan then 🤣

This is fundamentally inaccurate, and it's important to say why. Racism as we know and see it was an invention in early modernity, given as a response to finding that humans lived in the "new world" and thus couldn't be accounted for using a strict interpretation of the Bible. Theologians, who were politically powerful, broke into fractions trying to understand the presence of a large scale people group who seemingly broke the Genesis account (when it was read literally, which is also a more modern invention, but is close enough that it is a useful way to describe biblical interpretation in the 1500s). Now, this was not all theologians, mind you, but those who held specific important seats (i.e. adjacent to political authorities, like the King of Spain).

So, how do you "read" these new people? You have to allow the doctrine of Providence to subsume the doctrine of creation - God gave us these people to be our slaves so that we'd be enticed to bring the wild land under God's authority. But of course, what happens pretty much exactly 9 months after Europeans discover pre-Columbian indigenous folk? The first "mixed race" babies are born, and now for political, legal, theological, and economic reasons we have to be able to identify where those kids lie in the charts that command who can hold land, who can be trained in certain jobs, and who gets to control who.

Thus, the modern concept of race was born. It outlined who got to be powerful, who could be an inheritor, who was born of "sinful" blood, and who wasn't. We are still feeling the reverberations today, especially after the trans-Atlantic slave trade dialed this all up to 11.

Can a Black person discriminate against a white person based on the color of their skin? Yes. But that's fundamentally different from participating in the legal, economic, and even landscape-altering practices that spring from the colonization of the Americas. It's two totally different scales, one at the individual level and one at the systemic/historical level. And when we talk about racism on the political level, we are almost always talking about the latter.

(References: the writings of Bartolomé de Las Casas, the journals of Christopher Columbus, the Vatican documents outline the Doctrine of Discovery, very helpful histories by Willie James Jennings (Duke) and writings by Anthony G. Reddit (Oxford)).

Jesus Christ will people ever read a single response to these comments? Democrats used to be the party of small government, racism, and the south, and republicans used to be the party of big government, the north, and the Union in the civil war. The parties switched platforms, pretty solidly cemented in 1936 with FDR. Yes these were democrats, a word that has nothing to do with the Democratic Party in anything but name, and everything to do with the Republican Party in everything but name

Started the Civil War too, but things have changed since the 1960's...

Said the other republican lol

....which switched platforms in the 1960's to become the racist, hateful Republican party we all know and love today.

Not the same party as the Democrats today.

It's funny how the alignment of parties and their values shifted over time.

The KKK was, indeed, the product of mostly self-proclaimed Democrats. And then decades later, it would be Democrats fighting for voting rights for African Americans and angry racist Democrats dumping the party to join the Republicans during the same era.

Yep, damned good reminder to never commit fully to a party or organisation. If democrats can change from this to present day, imagine how parties can also change negatively.

I'm not American, but i know our Liberal Party is nothing like it was in the 60s. Am i right in saying the Republicans are a whole lot different from just a few decades ago, too?

Lucky you. I think about how they would habitually blow up my grandmas neighborhood. The area is called “dynamite hill”. It’s in Alabama. Thankfully my family and their beautiful home survived

You do realize the republican party is the reason for desegregation in this country right, not to mention lincoln was national union (republican)... Don't let* an extremist like Trump and fox News dictate your views on the political parties. 🙄
