My very Liberal professor kept talking about this KKK hub in Northern Colorado/Foco area. Does any one who lived long enough here know about that? I'm non-white, so don't worry of me setting cross on fire, I'm just curious and want to know if his claim is true.

I heard Canon City used to be the HQ in Colorado for the KKK in the early 1900's...

Liberals would know.. because its their thing. The active core of KKK, the Knights Party of the KKK was founded a Democrat David Duke in 1956.

Colorado used to be a big hub for the KKK I think. I believe that Stapleton is named after a guy named Stapleton that was big in the KKK. I've personally not ever looked into that history though, so take that with a grain of salt until someone with better info comes along.

Ben Stapleton... I had to write a report on him in highschool. Damn I miss them cheerleaders.
I'd suggest you ask your very liberal professor to give you proof...which, IMO....he can't.
Liberals like scare tactics.....like the new gun laws they "SCARED" into law on 7/1.......

I think he is bullshiting things he doesn't know just to make him sounds cool.
back when i was in high school late 88-92 the skinheads and klan were all over colorado and caused a few problems .but i think it was a fad as i have not heard much about the dumb asses in a long time
edit/disclaimer
if you are in the kkk or are a neo nazi and have a problem with me calling you a dumb ass my door is always open for complaints , but you had better bring a lunch and a lantern [Flower]

I went to a couple of their meetings, these days they meet under the "OFA" name. This is the presidents political arm called Organizing for Action and they are alive and growing here in NorCO. They are bigots and haters of the worst kind. I was truly amazed by these people and what they stand for, which is no God, no party other than progressives and kill or incarcerate (re-educate!) anyone that disagrees with them. They feel the dirt under your feet has more rights than you do. I kid you not, these people are out to destroy the USA. If you think I am bullshitting you, then just stay on your couch at election time.
Your professor is undoubtedly a member of the OFA Klan.

No there is not an active KKK in NOCO. There is / was a chapter back in the 80's & 90's which eventually was ran by Shawn Slater, who was a young up and coming star with in the national party. back in the late 80's - mid 90's.
I would call him on it and then inquire as WC posted about the newest "hate group" the OFA and see how purple he turns.
The KKK was huge in Colorado in the past. I remember reading how it was a unofficial prerequisite to run for any office, i can not remember what time period this was in though.
ETA: After reading BushMasterBoy's link looks like it was the 1920's

early -mid 1900's
The real place the KKK was dug in during the 1980's and 90's was N. Idaho. and thats all tied into the Ruby Ridge incident. Even last year a KKK member ran for sheriff of Bonner County, ID.

Hearsay from older guys. One white and one black told me KKK was very strong in Denver and the state. So much so that so that jobs depended on your affiliations... I do not know, again this from two older guys that lived here....

I was about to say the same thing.
I worked out in Elizabeth for a few years. Coworker there would never admit or deny being a kkk member but admitted as a child handing out pamphlets for the kkk at political rallies. While I was there I was told there was a huge white supremacist church in the area. I drove by it a few times...several big white crosses out back for their "events".

Used to be some church based group in LaPorte CO that got attention for being racist.
I heard years ago it was a hub for the KKK.
Google LaPorte CO and racist, and I'm sure you will find it.
Never seen them here but i've been thru the pan handle of idaho and run into some.

Far from it. White Christians. KKK doubt it. Met and worked on a few of them. Way right of right thinking, but KKK ,mmmmmmmmm Most definitely a different crowd.
Google Racist and you'll see links to lots of things. It only makes it so based on the web sites standards. Google Hate Groups / Guns / racist, and sit back.
Never seen any here, but I remember there being some in Indiana when I was growing up in Michigan. They had a rally in Lansing one year, I think more people from Detroit and Flint showed up than Klansmen or supporters.
Dude? What fucking class is this professor teaching?

There was a strong KKK presence in Greeley in the past and the Pillar of Fire church in Westminster used to be a KKK supporter. Mostly these days the Aryan Brother hood or AB sticks to other areas outside of Colorado, however the actions of the 2-11 crew could change that.

That might work, if not for the fact that the KKK was founded in the 1860's, and while yes it was called the Democratic party back then.. It has always been ultra right in it beliefs. The parties were reversed from what they look like today. Just look at Strom Thurmond. It was established by confederates after the war and was their way of continuing the fight for slavery. David Duke is from the 1990's and was a staunch Republican from Louisiana. You can blame the Democratic party for a lot of things but your statement was disingenuous. Nobody thinks the Democratic party is anti-any race.

They had a presence in Grand Junction for decades. I don't know if they've really been active in the last decade or so, living in Denvefornia as I do.
For a time, the bastards more or less owned Lakeside and Mountain View. Don't think they still do, as the last Lakeside PD officer I met was Hispanic.
As for race-motivated criminal conspiracies, they've been on the wane. Most of the ones I've heard about in recent years were the Tre-Tre Crips running around LoDo.

Actually, like most idiotic politicians, he's played both sides of the fence, so I'd have an awful hard time characterizing him as a "Staunch Republican".
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an American activist and writer, a former Grand Wizard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Wizard) of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan),[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke#cite_note-4)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke#cite_note-5) and former Republican (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_%28US%29) Louisiana State Representative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_House_of_Representatives). He was a candidate in the Democratic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Democratic_Party) presidential primaries in 1988 and the Republican presidential primaries in 1992. Duke has unsuccessfully run for the Louisiana State Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_State_Senate), U.S. Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate), U.S. House of Representatives (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._House_of_Representatives), and Governor of Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Louisiana).

Democratic party is the most racist party period.. Most democrats fall back to remind me of my color and background when they lost argument to facts.

Me and a couple buddies ran into a handful of skin heads back in rampart, also had a guy sit beside us at the Adams county truck pulls last year that had the ink. Being from southeast TN I've seen alot of it.
The Klan had a large presence in southeast Texas where I grew up. I could tell stories about things that took place as recently as the late 1990s that would shock some of you.
Also, I remember I was in fifth grade when they desegregated the schools.

Completely agree. Happens to me too when Libs are present with Facts. Calling me a racist does nothing. I laugh. It means I won the debate.
Urban, you misunderstood your professor. He was referring to the new Northern Colorado hate group, the QueQueQue.

Saw a family at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden who were all obviously white supremists. Father and mother both had the tats and shirts promoting it. The 4 or 5 year old had a mohawk and a shirt spouting the garbage.

Haven't seen it really here. Northern Idaho used to have a bunch of Arian nation and kkk groups. Late 90s they tried to push into the se part of the state and it wasn't welcomed well. Too many farmers with close ties to Hispanic and Japanese families. Watched a few of them get put in the hospital for slurs by some of the local farm guys that moonlighted as bull riders. Not sure how some of those groups can develop the hate that they do.

They suck at life. But it's obvious (to them) that it's not their fault that they suck at life, so it must be a conspiracy. Or they hear so much about it being a conspiracy, for so long, that it becomes Himmler's Big Lie and by the time they meet a real live Jew there's no talking him away from what he's always "known." (Speaking of which, if any of you have a direct line to the Worldwide Zionist Conspiracy, could you tell those bastards that my check is late again?)
Either that or it's some sort of weird kind tribal loyalty.
Or, in rare cases, you get some guy who's never actually lived near people who don't look a little like him, so he takes his discomfort about the unknown a little farther than it needs to go.
Then again, some people are just dipshits.

The white supremacist are the same as the Nation of Islam. They both would like a pure race not mixed with any other than their own. White, Black, Aztlan, they all have issues. You dig deep enough and they all have mixed breeds in their linage, OOPS.
The way of thinking comes from parents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, friends etc. Either they bleat, bleat with the flock, or open their brains and start to think for themselves.

I didn't catch it at first, him and his girlfriend started talking to my wife and I, after about 15 minutes or so I noticed the tats on his neck, made it a pretty uncomfortable conversation after that.

Strangely the only guy I personally know that is Jewish happens to be shaved bald and tatted up big time. Obviously no AN or KKK tats, but it's happened more than once that he's been called a skinhead racist purely from what he looks like by the "enlightened libtards".
You all are dead wrong, there is a heavy KKK influence in CO, just look at the last election results. They just aren't as vocal, nor do they wear bed sheets and go around burning crosses... What? You think there's really a huge difference between the KKK of our grandfather's/father's era and the modern "White Democrat"? I fail to see it.

David Duke is not old enough to have founded the KKK in 1956. David Duke was a one-term Congressman in the 90's I believe.

Irving, you beat me to it. LOL
Yeah. It was a new sorority group called Kappa Kappa Kappa formed by bimbo SC students without realizing frat name "kappa kappa kappa" is kkk in eng alphabet. [LOL]
Good thing they didn't name their sorority as "Sigma Alpha Chi" (S-E-X)

My great-grandfather back used to investigate the klan when he was with the DA's office in Denver, and used to go to their cross burnings on Lookout Mountain stuff. They used to have a heavy presence in Denver politics. Interesting little bit of history I think
