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.
I found this...http://ccpl.lib.co.us/history_old/kkk/KKK%20Essay.html
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.Quote:

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

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.

Sorry but the picture of the Klansmen on the Ferris wheel made me chuckle.Quote:

I was about to say the same thing.Quote:

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.Quote:

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?
No Shit, after the last thread he should have been reported to higher ups.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Jim, I was having a pretty good day until I copy and pasted that in Google.........Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Laporte has a big chapter, also some scattered around the pierce/Nunn area. Still alive and kicking but I don't know what they do. I installed internet service at the church and the preachers house in laporte, heard hearsae their is some imperial wizard dragon somethin or other in pierce.

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.Quote:
