I assume the above is from Dderitter please sign your posts by adding  tildas at the end  I hear your perspective on NPOV  In choosing the word partnership I was paraphrasing scholar Kristen Kandts peer reviewed article where she use the language public alliance  Please see the quote in the reference list  Im happy to change the language from partnership to alliance  In reviewing all of the schoolars Blee Neal Stanley Kandt that I can find who have published in peer reviewed journals about Whites relationship with the Klan their articles are consistant with the term partnership  Id have to go back and reivew them to find the specific language but I bet if I did Id find the word partnership used in some  But Id rather not take the time to do that work at the moment so Im happy to use the word alliance since I can and have suppoted that word  Im happy to send you a copy of the full Kandt article if you send me an email address  I have my own personal perspective which is actually somewhat compassionate on why White was so supportive of the Klan and many of their intollerant ideologies which some day I suppose I should publish but I recognize Wikipedia is not the place for that
