Notes About the Grievances of the KKK

Seth Cohen

People in My Group: Seth Cohen, Chrissy Mosaic, Stephanie Shroeder, and Ryan McIlheny. Note:  I probably spelled Ryan’s name wrong.

The grievances of the KKK were that they believe (d) that races should not be mixed together. The basis for this belief was that if God wanted us to be with blacks, He would not have made them different from us. According to one sect of the KKK, the Knights of the KKK, they do not believe that black people are bad; they just think that we should mix with them.

The KKK believes in a policy of white seperatism. They claim to not beleive in white supremacy, but separetism, meaning that they beleive that whites should be seperate from all other groups. It is a common beleif that they are supremacists. Some members say this is true, while others do not.

Their grievance is very unique to me. Rather that grieving about being oppressed, and trying to gain rights, they are the oppressors, and their grievance is that other people are gaining rights. They believe that their civil “God Given” right is to be the number one race, and that all the others are inferior.

            Another one of their grievances is with Martin Luther King, Jr. The Klan thinks that MLK has relations with over 60 communist fronts. They also say that he has a sick and bizarre sex life. They claim that On Jan. 31, 1977 Coretta Scott King obtained a federal court order sealing for 50 years 845 pages of FBI records about her husband, "…because its release would destroy his reputation!"

            They grieve over the fact that this communist man has his own holiday. I guess it is just a coincidence that he is a freedom fighter for the blacks, but oh no, they don’t want the holiday banned because of that, they want it banned because he is an alleged communist, and because of his unofficial name change.

I am referring to the changing of his name from Michael to Martin Luther. They say that his father renamed himself and his son without court rule. The KKK believes that if he is to have a holiday, it should be given its “rightful” name, Michael King Day.

            When trying to find out anything about the KKK, it can be hard because KKK is a public domain name. This means that, legally, anyone can call themselves part of the KKK. I could say that I am in the KKK right now, and nobody could tell me otherwise.
