    Probably because they are the only terrorist group to legally exist in this country?

    We can't jail them or kill them because...

    Here, from Wikipedia

    The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), or simply the Klan, is the name of three distinct movements in the United States that have advocated extremist reactionary currents such as white supremacy, white nationalism, anti-immigration, and, especially in later iterations, Nordicism,[7][8] anti-Catholicism,[9][10] and antisemitism.[10]Historically the KKK used terrorism, both physical assault and murder, against groups or individuals whom they opposed.[11] All three movements have called for the "purification" of American society, and all are considered right-wing extremist organizations.[12][13][14][15]

    The first Klan flourished in the Southern United States in the late 1860s, then died out by the early 1870s. It sought to overthrow the Republican state governments in the South during the Reconstruction Era, especially by using violence against African Americanleaders. With numerous chapters across the South, it was suppressed around 1871, through federal law enforcement. Members made their own, often colorful, costumes: robes, masks, and conical hats, designed to be terrifying, and to hide their identities.[16][17]

    People don't mind talking about terrorism unless the terrorists aren't brown Muslims...

    Everybody loves free speech unless your name is Kapernick or Rapinoe

    Because I love this country, the history, the people, and the constitution. I'm proud to be an American and no where else in the world do I think comes close to this nation.

    The klan's presence only exists in your fantasy land.

    Antifa, on the other hand...

    When they commit acts of violence, incite violence, or are caught plotting acts of violence they are thrown in jail. Same as Islamic terrorists. Simply belonging to a group or holding a certain viewpoint, abhorrent as it may be, is not a crime and most of these white supremacist types are very skilled at going right up to the line of their Constitutional protections without crossing it (they do have 150 years of practice after all).

    You love it so much you'd openly support a UN invasion.

    Sadly we have to wait for a few more church massacres to end this nonsense.

    3,000 people are too many, 1 is too many.

    We should "carpet bomb" them.

    "When England is sending its people, they aren't sending their best, they are bringing crimes, they are bringing terrorism, they are racists, and some I assume are good people"

    Yet even more of your African brethren came here voluntarily, and millions hope to do so as soon as possible.

    they exist. Must we only acknowledge them after they have already committed a terrorist attack? is that when you care to pay attention?

    @bungadiri perhaps time to close this thread? nothing new has happened, just more political degeneration.

    i highly doubt that. check the numbers.

    but even so, how would they when immigration is currently tied to denying people on where they are from? So again we judge people unfairly. This shouldn't be and you know that.
