Not the point, I was explaining the origin of the klan.

"Not the point, I was explaining the origin of the klan."

And it was in an article concerning the passing of Robert C. Byrd. The excuse you gave for people joining the Clan could not possibly apply to Byrd so why bring it up? Are we here to justify Byrd's clan membership? He never even used that excuse that I've read (reconstruction). His excuse was that he thought they were a good organization as a bulwark against communism. That's the most hilarious excuse of all because he goes on to join the Communist, er I mean Democratic party.
