It was a freebie, so I'm sure you're all in....

Why do people on here believe the klan is not still active?

Very interesting subconscious association you have going there. I'd call this, exposed.

Seriously, why aren’t the catholic priests from Missouri helping rebuild Lake Charles? If they care they should be there.

Seriously, why aren’t Trump’s campaign workers from all over the country working in Lake Charles?

Why aren’t the Proud Boys rebuilding Lake Charles?

Why aren’t the Florida Marlins rebuilding Lake Charles?

The rhetorical question is ridiculous.

Why do people think they are?

How about this...we have had BLM and Antifa protests virtually non stop for three months straight. Were there some organized, right wing hate group based entirely on white supremacy in any real numbers, wouldn't it stand to reason they would have stood up to at least counter protest? What better time and what better recruiting materials would they need?

And yet...silence. If there was even a hint of actual KKK doing anything (and I don't mean some dipshit spelling America "Amerikkka") legacy media would have wet themselves covering it and linking it to Trump.

As someone stated earlier, I'm 50 years old and have lived most of my life south of I-10 in LA. I've never once met a vocal in your face racist let alone an actual KKK member. On the other hand, I do actually know one person who, while not an active Antifa member as far as I know, DOES openly sympathize with them enough so that we can't go beyond small talk now.

Well one is a legitimate threat to this nation today and the other is the KKK.

I heard they were coming to Lake Charles ... but it was to block the roads in protest.

I would like to see Zion Williamson working out in Lake Charles. A little bit of sweat would be a nice changup for the he and the Pelicans.

That’s not exactly klan territory. You do realize the klan is pro-Baptist, anti-catholic? South LA isn’t exactly a breeding ground for it.

The Klan really, really hate them some catholics. It's one of the reasons why they were so anti-Kennedy, despite him being a Democrat.

It’s called work and they won’t even do that for money. There is no way in hell they would work for free

know this probably won’t get very many serious responses and will probably result in a ban or two, but I feel like the average American would be much more receptive to their message if they saw them helping rebuild a city devastated by a storm instead of blocking roads and burning down cities. Thoughts?


Because their organization is focused on certain issues that are unrelated to disaster response?

And surely more than a few are helping still?
