Look at America, this nation was designed by whites, and to them it is a great country. We have a great military, great cars, and all these great luxuries. Now look at Africa, to people who have never been there or researched it, it is a place perceived to be full of tribal groups and straw huts. They believe that whites built this world and are glad to consider themselves white, integration, according to them, has only caused problems. There are those believe that whites should separate from other races in order to preserve the luxuries that their white ancestors have built for them, hence white separatist and supremacists.
As Circus said, they paraphrase the Bible to justify calling themselves Christians, similar to how people use the Bible to justify their homophobia. I don't agree with the KKK ideology and I'm glad that people who worship that belief usually end up in jail, but I could understand the mentality behind that. I'm Hispanic by the way.
Good perspective by you and circus. It makes sense how people can pick and choose parts of religion to fit their agenda while disposing all of the other parts they don't feel fits their ideas.
I would be interested to pose the question to a KKK member in person to see what they say. I'm a white ass honkey who lives around hispanics btw. haha
I would also be interested. I was actually watching an interesting episode of Taboo: USA yesterday and the main theme was strange bonds. In the episode it included an interview with a black man who befriends KKK members in an effort to better understand racism since he wasn't born in America and had no idea of racial supremacy. It was an interesting episode in that I saw KKK members act like decent human beings but show their dark side and the black man explained how by befriending some of the members they have quit the KKK. It was an interesting episode and I just wanted to share what I learned from it.
The KKK and religion IIN ?
