Approximately one third of all whites responding to a 2017 IPSOS poll disagreed with white supremacist groups but held the same views. So many whites talk like they are blind on this matter. “Thirty-one percent of Americans polled strongly or somewhat agreed that ‘America must protect and preserve its White European heritage.”White people are the majority of the U.S. population, totaling about 245,532,000 or 77.7% of the population as of 2017. According to this poll, we are looking at potentially 76 million whites that continue to share the views of white supremacists. These numbers equaled approximately 1/5th of the American population at that time.
That was 4 years ago. Suffice it to say, the percentage has not dropped to zero. The KKK is not the only white supremacist group and there are free agent white supremacists who are not members of white supremacist groups. So the quote that there are only 5,000 Klan members is disingenuous.
