Klu Klux Klan... Why?

Well im from Arkansas we certainly had plenty of KKK members here, it was done out of racism of course. After the civil war many people didin't want to accept the fact that the blacks could no longer be slaves there for kept protesting. Now days many KKK members join for the fact that a African American may have killed someone in the family. Also kids that don't ociate with African Americans believe what there parents tell them such as "They are all thieves and thugs" That is why the KKK still lives up today.
