The rally was peaceful, with no injuries or property damage and only one arrest for disorderly conduct, Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said. The police presence was heavy in a closed-off section of downtown Memphis.
Klan members were bused to and from the protest and were relegated to a fenced-in section in front of the Shelby County courthouse. Some wore pointed white hoods and waved flags with the letters 'KKK' on them.
Police said an anti-Klan rally located in another fenced-in area about 100 yards away attracted 1,275 people throughout the day. Some chanted "KKK, go away."
A North Carolina-based faction of the Klan came to protest after the City Council voted to rename Nathan Bedford Forrest Park, Jefferson Davis Park and Confederate Park. Forrest was a slave trader, Confederate cavalryman and member of the first version of the Klan.
Bystander Veronica Milton, 37, viewed the protest as an educational experience, though she described the Klan's white supremacist messageas sad.
"Everybody has different opinions, different voices," said Milton, who is black."There's nothing wrong with seeing things from every side."
A family-themed event organized to counter the rally at a separate location featured more than 1,500 people who atefrom food trucks, listened to live music and attended a diversity workshop.

KKK : still alive and dangerous. A vision of hate merges with every image of the KKK. Why do they hate? They see themselves as a group that advocates the need for white people to asset or regain the power they feel has been lost in America.

IM glad everything went peacefully,, humans are capable of disagreeing without harm,,,,,nice to hear about

As long as they are not

killing people
burning crosses in their yards
tar and feathering people

or any other hatred-filled act towards another human being.

Hey.
All's fair.

Farycan is a separatist and hates whitey and Jews.

Shabitch wants to skin white babies.

The klan today are like Mr Rodgers compared to the NOI and Panthers.

Well as long as they aren't doing the same thing as I stated earlier. Rational people will turn away from hatred messages, I would hope.

There are posters here that adore Fairycan and his separatist movement.
They will praise him for all the good he has done against whitey and the devil Jew.

When I read the title of this thread, my first thought was, "The militant arm of the Democratic Party still has rallies? Who knew?"

I thought

freedom of speech operating as intended
different cultures, experiences, beliefs coexisting as intended

The Modern Klan Member is more likely to assault a Fellow Klan than anyone else as they are busy fighting each other for control of such an irrelevant group.

A Bunch of Losers that have no meaningful support from anywhere and are largely viewed as pariahs in their own communities; Law Enforcement considers them to be nothing but trouble as they deal in Narcotics to make money.

people evolve

I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.

...wise words

good to know even KKK has at least refrained from their past violent tendencies,,,

Perhaps, David Duke has evolved as well.

Yes, the Klan is unorganized with no inspirational leader.

If there was no Klan, we'd still have the separatist NOI.

I still haven't seen where old Fairycan has said anything like," Man, I sure am sorry about all the nasty stuff and hate I have spewed against whitey and the devil Jews."

They are dangerous. Heared from a family member that they beat up a guy who was abusing his wife. Even though I don’t agree with their views on race, they do promote a few good things, but then it is like the mafia giving money to the church.

Still, I wonder should we put the KKK and Black Panthers on an island and tell them go at it.

I still am baffled why it concerns someone who isnt white,,,,so much?

what political power does farrakhan have over anyone here? when has he or the NOI done anything to anyone here? why is there such an obsession with them?

But the Red Shirt would feel left out if the Dems had such parties without them.

It is surprise that many have forgotten that the KKK was mainly Democrats and still many Dems are in the KKK.

and many of those dems of yesterday were southerners who turned into todays repubicans,,,,I bet if I research it , kkk still has pretty large numbers in the south,,,,,

They do, I don’t even have to leave my own county. The County I live in is a big blue county, strong democrat support and has a large KKK group, which are primary white Dems.

One thing I had to be Educated about by People who were there at the time, some of them Black; What made MLK Jr. Possible was that the Klan was being chased out of more and more Southern Communities by Southern Whites.

The Late 40's and the 50's was a time when the Klan was in Full Retreat in the Southern States; Jim Crow (Which was part of the Health Code that Restaurants had to observe) was already being Questioned and under pressure before Rosa Parks; Local Southern Whites aided the Montgomery City Bus Boycott with Car Pooling.

Neo-Nazi alliances and Stormfront
Main article: Stormfront (website)

In 1995, Don Black and Chloê Hardin, former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke's ex-wife, began a small bulletin board system (BBS) called Stormfront. Today, Stormfront has become a prominent online forum for white nationalism, Neo-Nazism, hate speech, racism, and antisemitism.[136][137][138] Duke has an account on Stormfront which he uses to post articles from his own website, as well as polling forum members for opinions and questions, in particular during his internet broadcasts. Duke has worked with Don Black on numerous projects including Operation Red Dog in 1980.[139][140]

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY MOVEMENT

yes, they are still around, but at least they have made the fight a political and economic one instead of a violent one,,,,,
