Talk:Ku Klux Klan regalia and insignia

message: Are many people in the non-spanish speaking western world aware that costumes which are superficially similar to KKK costumes are used by Christians?
Unfortunately, both the Nazareno  and Capirote  articles are in the Spanish version of wikipedia .--80.47.210.255 16:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nazareno and Capirote 

message: I visited this article and was shocked to see the massive deletions which had been accomplished by a single user.  I read through teh deletions and saw many which were private opinions and one was even labeled as "delte statement I dont think is true".  I was also very confused why the user stated that the popular culture section was "off topic" since it deals with how the KKK costume has been portrayed in television and cinema.  In any event, no offense to the user, but this all strikes of article ownership.  I have reverted t the last full version that I could find and recommnd that future mega-deletions get discussed first. -Husnock 22:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I had remembered another origin behind the klan's costume, but it involves a long story: Back in 1989, I went to see the Wendell B. Harris Jr. movie Chameleon Street at the Huntington Arts Cinema. Prior to the showing of the film a man came on to give a lecture about racism's role in our society, and one aspect he mentioned were that police departments in the South used to have Slave patrols before the civil war. Among the tactics used by the slave patrols were to dress up as ghosts in order to intimidate African-Americans out of trying to seek freedom. Basically it was another effort to play on their superstition and alleged gullibility, just as the Knight Riders and other KKK members used to do. ---- DanTD 03:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another origin involving the KKK costume 

message: "The origins of the use of the costume are unclear, but it does seem certain that it was originally designed by weak white males that were repeatedly beat up by bullies and unable to function as a normal human beings. The dress allows easy access for the placement of foreign objects such as golf balls and hot wheels up their anuses."  
Such supposed "constructive" information is why nobody takes wikipedia seriously.  Now hopefully, as this page is edited to bring it up to the standards of a high school book report, the editors who reverted my edits will go and place "foreign objects such as golf balls and hot wheels up their anuses."  Good day.

replies: text: sorry, I thought you were adding those stuff, My bad..its advisable that when you remove a lot of stuff from an article, its good and add a descent edit summary with it so that other editors will know what you are adding or removing since wikipedia gets hit by vandalism every 1/10th of a second and its hard to differentiate between the vandalism or improvements...--Cometstyles 10:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Your recent edits have been reverted as they do not appear to be constructive 

message: I think this page should have some kind of semi-protection. I have no love for the KKK and am diametrically opposed to them, however this page is mainly for information, and can't be vandalised on a regular basis. --MacRusgail (talk) 14:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article on the Ku Klux Klan itself is already protected. I could see some editing that could be done there, specifically of one link. As for this one, it could probably use some images of KKK logos for various rankings within the klan. ----DanTD (talk) 17:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: This article along with some others  dealing with the klan are horribly unreferenced. And I'm having trouble finding anything reliable online. Mostly things like this and un-sourced Yahoo Answers postings. Can someone read a book on the klan or something and get some sources? ./zro (⠠⠵) 23:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Since South Park and others were mentioned, how about adding Harry Potter IV? The Death Eater costumes were very Klan-like in that movie. (I'm glad they fixed the outfits for the subsequent movies. YIKES!) 67.142.130.30 (talk) 06:23, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The KKK regalia is almost exactly like the costumes worn in Spanish Catholic religious processions. Why is this not even mentioned in the article? 173.89.236.187 (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A line has been added but the origin of the costume and significance (if any) of the resemblance need more research. Ewulp (talk) 23:21, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
