The Washington Post today published an interesting photo essay about the small number of people who are still members of the Ku Klux Klan in Tennessee and Maryland. The photos reveal them to be mostly a bunch of pathetic outcast losers. However, the real reason for this essay wasn't to demonstrate what we already know about the Klan. Just after the introductory paragraph, the true purpose of this entire photo essay was revealed...to slam Donald Trump.

An interesting photo essay on the few remaining losers in the Klan but this essay would NOT have been published had it not been a ridiculous way to slam Trump.

How many people are even in the KKK these days? 10? And probably 9 are federal operatives.

WP writers have no idea that the KKK was a branch of the Democrat party.

And ALL the resident Trump-haters will be drawn to this thread like cockroaches to an open can of potted meat left overnight on the kitchen counter ...

(Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.)

I wish I read the WP, so I could boycott them.
