Most of the parents are dead or in the later years of their lives. Most of these mc gangs originated in the 60's-70's.
(I can't get quotes to load)

False. I was looking over the 170 who were arrested. The majority of the birthdates that I saw were 1985-1990.

1 person sucking up to blacks 10 years ago hardly qualifies as a "racist who controls the Republican Party". And the Scalise thing was a year and a half ago and he was not aware of who the audience was. Again, it hardly qualifies as "racists controlling the Republican Party". Try again, loser.

No...some of us live in places that have a criminal gang culture...the rest of American gun culture is peaceful and non violent......over 320 million guns in private hands, and over 90 million homes have guns in them and over 11.1 million law abiding citizens carry guns for self defense....

And they never shoot up the place.....it is violent gangs that need to be controlled, not law abiding gun owners....I know...that is a hard concept for people who went to schools controlled by the education wing of the democrat party...but we will keep trying to educate you to the truth, and reality..........

I didn't post anything about "law abiding gun owners" or about "controlling" anything.

I posted, sarcastically, that we live in a gun culture. And that's a fact.

Gun culture =/= injuring people with said guns.

I'm afraid it does. It's inevitable considering the whole purpose of the instrument is TO HURT PEOPLE.

Sir, I have hundreds of guns, none of them have ever hurt any person. That certainly isn't their entire purpose.

What is the purpose of having "hundreds of guns"?

This wasn't about guns Leftytoon.

That one person you dismiss [because you are a moron idiot] happened to have been the TOP LEADER of the GOP....you on the other hand are a pathetic bigot nobody...denying the self evident racism of the GOP...you are 1 person sucking up to bigotry..

You gave me a link to a propaganda site and called it history. No one is fooled by your weak attempt at deception, dickhead.

​

Again -- do yer fuckin' homework and you won't be embarrassed like this. I gave you a history derived from 44 historical works. You gave us a wank. Face it -- you're a loser.

Sorry, dickhead, but posting a picture of yourself doesn't give you any credibility. But it IS evidence that you have no argument.

I completely destroyed your ipse dixit with actual history, loser. But this does give me an opportunity to bring this old collection forward, so here ya go --

Source One: Wiki

First KKK
>> The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[17] The name is probably derived from the Greek word kuklos which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[18]
Although there was little organizational structure above the local level, similar groups rose across the South and adopted the same name and methods.[19] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.

Second KKK
... In 1915, the second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting in 1921, it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges as commissions to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. Reflecting the social tensions of urban industrialization and vastly increased immigration, its membership grew most rapidly in cities, and spread out of the South to the Midwest and West. The second KKK preached "One Hundred Percent Americanism" and demanded the purification of politics, calling for strict morality and better enforcement of prohibition. Its official rhetoric focused on the threat of the Catholic Church, using anti-Catholicism and nativism.[4] Its appeal was directed exclusively at white Protestants.[21]​

...Third KKK
The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by a numerous independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[25] Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. <<​

Source Two: The Present Day Ku Klux Klan Movement, Report by the Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Ninetieth Congress, First Session, December 11, 1967

>> The six Confederate army veterans credited with originating the Ku Klux Klan on Christmas Eve of 1865 in Pulaski, Tenn. are not memorialized in current klan literature. ... The organization to which modern klansmen pay homage was the Ku Klux Klan headed by Nathan Bedford Forrest, which officially operated in at least nine Southern states from 1867 to 1869 and unofficially for some years thereafter.

The conversion of klan purposes from amusement to terrorism had already been demonstrated by the time representatives of the local klan "dens" held a unifying convention in Nashville, Tenn., in 1867 and elected former Confederate Army General Forrest as their grand wizard. <<​

Source Three: ---Extremism in America/ADL

>> About the Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan is a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a commitment to extreme violence to achieve its goals of racial segregation and white supremacy.
... At first, the Ku Klux Klan focused its anger and violence on African-Americans, on white Americans who stood up for them, and against the federal government which supported their rights. Subsequent incarnations of the Klan, which typically emerged in times of rapid social change, added more categories to its enemies list, including Jews, Catholics (less so after the 1970s), homosexuals, and different groups of immigrants.

Founder: Confederate Civil War veterans Captain John C. Lester, Major James R. Crowe, John D. Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard R. Reed, Frank O. McCord <<
​

Source FOUR:

In Pulaski, Tennessee, a group of Confederate veterans convenes to form a secret society that they christen the "Ku Klux Klan." The KKK rapidly grew from a secret social fraternity to a paramilitary force bent on reversing the federal government's progressive Reconstruction Era-activities in the South, especially policies that elevated the rights of the local African American population.

The name of the Ku Klux Klan was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning "circle," and the Scottish-Gaelic word "clan," which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration. Under a platform of philosophized white racial superiority, the group employed violence as a means of pushing back Reconstruction and its enfranchisement of African Americans. Former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the KKK's first grand wizard; in 1869, he unsuccessfully tried to disband it after he grew critical of the Klan's excessive violence. <<​

Source FIVE:

>> The original Ku Klux Klan was created in an 1865 meeting in a law office by six Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. It was, at first, a humorous social club centering on practical jokes and hazing rituals. From 1866 to 1867, various local units began breaking up black prayer meetings and invading black homes at night to steal firearms. Some of these activities may have been modeled on previous Tennessee vigilante groups such as the Yellow Jackets and Redcaps. In an 1867 convention held in Nashville, the Klan was formalized as a national organization under a Prescript written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general.

... As historian Elaine Frantz Parsons discovered [Parsons p 816]:

"Lifting the Klan mask revealed a chaotic multitude of antiblack vigilante groups, disgruntled poor white farmers, wartime guerrilla bands, displaced Democratic politicians, illegal whiskey distillers, coercive moral reformers, bored young men, sadists, rapists, white workmen fearful of black competition, employers trying to enforce labor discipline, common thieves, neighbors with decades-old grudges, and even a few freedmen and white Republicans who allied with Democratic whites or had criminal agendas of their own." <<​

Source SIX:

>> The first Klan was created by six men from Pulaski Tennessee, in the image of other secret societies of the day. The hierarchical organization with local chapters housed under a national umbressa [sic] structure.

... History and context:

The first KKK was formed in the American South at the end of the civil war, when the victorious Union government imposed a version of martial law on the south and began to enforce laws designed to end segregation against black citizens. When a constitutional amendment granted black men the right to vote in 1870, the group turned to intimidation and violence to try to halt de-segregation. <<​

Source SEVEN:

>> Started during Reconstruction at the end of the Civil War, the Klan quickly mobilized as a vigilante group to intimidate Southern blacks - and any whites who would help them - and to prevent them from enjoying basic civil rights. <<​

Source EIGHT:

>> The original Ku Klux Klan was organized by ex-Confederate elements to oppose the Reconstruction policies of the radical Republican Congress and to maintain "white supremacy." After the Civil War, when local government in the South was weak or nonexistent and there were fears of black outrages and even of an insurrection, informal vigilante organizations or armed patrols were formed in almost all communities. These were linked together in societies, such as the Men of Justice, the Pale Faces, the Constitutional Union Guards, the White Brotherhood, and the Order of the White Rose. The Ku Klux Klan was the best known of these, and in time it absorbed many of the smaller organizations. <<​

Source NINE:

>> The 19th-century Klan was originally organized as a social club by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1866. They apparently derived the name from the Greek word kyklos, from which comes the English circle; Klan was added for the sake of alliteration and Ku Klux Klan emerged. The organization quickly became a vehicle for Southern white underground resistance to Radical Reconstruction. Klan members sought the restoration of white supremacy through intimidation and violence aimed at the newly enfranchised black freedmen. A similar organization, the Knights of the White Camelia, began in Louisiana in 1867. <<

What's more, moron, you were active in the thread where I originally posted these over a year ago, so you already know better you dishonest HACK.

You're wasting your time providing facts. Some of these morons will continue to ignore the fact that they are blatant about their discriminating comments, they openly admit they hate blacks, their actions repeatedly affirm it and then they turn around and say that liberals are the racists. They either are too ignorant to reconcile themselves to their attitude or just don't have a logical response.

Yeah I know -- but all that was already done in a previous thread, and this gave me an opportunity to collect 'em all in once place for the next time some wag goes

What I like about history is that it doesn't change. You learn it once and... that's it. When you're honest about it you don't have to keep revising your story as the liars do. It's all about doing less work.

Except for conservatives, who keep changing it to make themselves look superior. Just like SJ, who claims it is Democrats that are racist, but he can't explain why the south, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, are all bright red (Republican) and well known for their racism. They're also the biggest takers of "welfare" which just shows a bunch of ignorant people voting against their own interest.

So what policies did the GOP put forth to pander to white racist?

 

[Mertex]

So everyone is avoiding the elephant in the room. Where are the white fathers that should have taught these thugs not to kill each other? There are more trying to get into Waco to start some more violence. What is going on with white culture?

Where is Bill O'Reilly to speak against this outrage? He must condone it.

He's busy trying to find ways to continue harassing his ex-wife.....

You saw the absurd explanation by one of the Right wing slags that "the South flipped because it grew a middle class"....this ridiculous explanation came after he dismissed Ken Mehlman's admission that the GOP uses racism for votes...he says "that is just one man" yeah one man who actually ran the GOP as compared to the moron who dismissed him who is probably pushing a grocery cart loaded with cans while muttering to himself about "lazy blacks"
