i'm not really sure where to respond but here goes anyway i don't see how pointing out a fact is racist if i was to point out that african americans have darker skin than whites would i be deemed a racist i don't think so it is a fact that the kkk was formed to protect white southerners from blacks and northerners during the rape of the south that ensued the civil war do you really believe it was formed by a bunch of slack jawed yokels to hate on blacks sure racism was a part of it but it was not the defining birthmark of the kkk
