Come on!!! You are comparing one man's personal life (no one else's
business) to another man's public life...David Duke and the KKK spread
hatred throughout the U.S.  And MLK's wife did support him..maybe he did
cheat on her, but that is nothing compared to the wonderful gift that he
gave to this country.  All David Duke wants to give this country is his
gift of hatred!  You can't even compare the 2 men.  While one preached
love the other is preaching hatred.  




>Having said that, he was the leader of a small local group and not even

small group, big group, what's the difference? Except that maybe he
didn't have good enough leadership skills to lead a larger group

THEY PREACH BIGOTRY AND HATRED!  I know they say now that they aren't as
bad as they used to be. So they changed the image that is shown to the
public. Everyone know what they stand for and what they want. Besides
that, 20 years is not a long time. Those people who were involved in the
KKK 20 years ago are still involved today.  Gee, I guess now they all of
the sudden believe in tolerance among races and religion??? I don't
believe that and i don't think any sane person does!

Oh yeh I'm sure the civil rights leaders are very embarrassed that black

Are you trying to justify the KKK? How dare you or anyone else try to
justify hate mongers. The fact is not how many people in the last few
years have been killed by the KKK.  It's how the KKK spreads its hatred
and incites the violence that continues. So they havent murdered anyone
in a while. Their cohorts have.>

Trust me, they know what is going on.  They know they are killing each
other.  I'm not justifying their crimes either.  They aren't trying to justify
it either.>
