what do you mean by approach? was he trying to see if you wanted to join the movement?
Yes...he was talking to every white person that would listen....I only listened for about 30 secs to 1 minute (mainly because I was sincerely interested in what these people were like because I had never before, or never since for that matter, had the occasion to even see much less talk to a KKK member.)
ETA He even had business cards.

I used to work with a guy from Mississippi who was in the Klan. We lived in the same apartment complex and would carpool to work and he told he belong to a chapter in Mississippi. I thought he was joking because he was friends with some blacks we worked with but he showed me a selfie of himself in his Klan outfit and pictures of the burning cross at the rally 
The blacks knew he was in the Klan too but it more of a “if you’re cool to us then we’ll be cool to you”

I’m 71 grew up and lived in small town Alabama most of my life. I have never known or met a klansman. However when I was 15 years old I did see a klan rally outside of Decatur, Alabama. Lots of people dressed in their hoods and they were burning a big cross close enough to the main highway that everyone driving by could see it.

grew up in rural Alabama in the 1970s. Never met one and never heard of anybody that might have been.

I was approached by a KKK member at Plantation Trace in Baton Rouge, LA in or around the year 2000.....the guy was the real deal he had the attitude, the flair, the speak, etc....he was definitely a Klansman.
Did he tell you he was Klan, or you just judged him?

Did you turn him away because he was an American and not a H1-B visa holder?

Probably a federal agent.
I'd doubt it....what would be the purpose to waste all that time and resources?

With idiots like you in this country its no wonder people resort to hiring illegal immigrants.....it's clear you're not qualified to do even the most menial (that's requiring no skill in case you were wondering) tasks.

I seem to remember in the early 90’s when my family was living on the Northshore, my dad coming inside with a flyer from our mailbox from a KKK group out of Bogalusa I believe.

I heard stories about those groups growing up (I was raised in the area) but I never saw or met anyone associated with them or witnessed any of their "activities".

Same here. Never met an actual klansman.

My grandfather was in it. My mom told me when she was a kid he had a suitcase under his bed that they pulled out and found his robe in it. He beat the shite out of them for pulling it out.
He was a real POS and I never had any respect for him and never was close to him. I was told he beat my grandmother then he left her with 5 kids and took off with her best friend.
His oldest daughter had a son with a black man. He never spoke to my aunt again until she was on her death bed with cancer, 16 years.
At his funeral I laughed when I realized what was transpiring. This man lived his entire life with a heart full of hate and not a single person in his family supported him. I looked up and was sitting between 2 of my cousins. One black and the other gay, people he hated for things out of their own control there to wish him off. We all got a good laugh from that.
I can say I learned a lot from that man. I learned a lot about how to not live my life and how not to treat people.

Yes, as a child in the 1960's I saw them out on a rual highway that we took going down to Florida before the interstate system was built collecting donations like the Shriners do.
The next year they were gone, Pop said someone burnt down the club house mysteriously...

I saw some guys at Bull Shoals Lake with the Blood Drop Cross tattoo’s on there chest.
My grandpa told me what the symbol was or I wouldn’t have known.
