Maybe we need a basic history of the Ku Klan Klan. It was created after the Civil War in order to stalk, torture, and murder black people.

We should remember the genesis of the KKK in context: white people lost their damned minds because they could no longer own black people.

The klan hunted down and then publicly lynched black people as a display of power. This is important to our understanding as well.

The KKK expanded in the 1920s both in geography and targets: it didn't only reserve it's hatred solely for black people.

One of the places the KKK grew was in Orange County, California. It was running shit there less than 100 years ago.

So when the KKK rallies in Anaheim (a city with its own insane racism independent of the klan), it's a reminder of its power.

Of course people show up to go at it with the klan in Anaheim: the KKK's very presence is violent. It's incredibly violent.

So white liberals: get tf out of my mentions with "the protestors deserved to be stabbed by the KKK!" Take a thousand seats instead.
