re: Have you ever met anyone in the KKK?

My grandfather was a member in Beaumont, Texas many years ago. He hated the KKK! He said if you were eligible to join (white, protestant), you joined or they would harass you. He described some of the things they did to non-members and it frightened me.
I wish he was alive so I could talk to him more. I have a lot more questions about it these days.

My granddad was born in 1898 and was orphanned at 5. Both of his parents had scarlet fever. He served in WW1 and was partially blinded by mustard gas.
I loved him dearly. He was very kind to me. He was so much nicer than my other grandpa. He was very supportive of women. My female cousin got her master's in Civil Engineering, and he was thrilled with how smart she was.
He was definitely racists though. My grandma was the shocking one who would embarrass us with things.
My kids don't understand how I could put up with that and still have good things to say about them, but I loved them. There was more to them then this flaw.
