It's a dilemma that some Klan groups are trying to address by being less, well, Klan-ish.
Back in April, after a 73-year-old Klansman went on a deadly shooting spree in Kansas City, a whole lot of avowed racists condemned the shootings.
CNN.com even ran a story that asked, "Can the Klan rebrand?" (It changed the headline after lots of outcry on social media.)
"Imperial Wizard Frank Ancona was upset, too. 'What this guy just did set back everything I've been trying to do for years,' said Ancona, who leads the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. [...]
" 'I believe in racial separation but it doesn't have to be violent,' he told CNN. 'People in the Klan are professional people, business people, working types. We are a legitimate organization.'

I do not believe the KKK can walk away from their past anymore than Al Sharpton can walk away from his black panther leanings. both names just scream racism.
In the mist of all racial tensions from the blacks, I personally support the klan. It's time whites have something/someone that will finally speak up.
Legitimate hateful moron. The main function of the klan and similar organizations is to hate. Period.
As a white man I want the non whites to tell me what group best represents my interests.
I know they have my best interest at heart.
