Since the outcome of last week’s general election, a hideous surge of hate crimes, racist rhetoric, and bullying has overtaken the nation. Swastikas glare from college dormitory doors. The Muslim community is threatened with unspeakable violence. And the Ku Klux Klan, gleeful in the wake of Trump’s win, is organizing…
Following Donald Trump’s win in the 2016 presidential race, the Ku Klux Klan has announced plans for a celebratory rally in North Carolina, an important swing state in which Trump ultimately received 51% of the vote.
While we’re here mourning an earth-shattering defeat of Hillary Clinton by President-elect (hork) Donald Trump, the Ku Klux Klan and their former leader David Duke are feeling much more celebratory. “GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP!,” Duke tweeted, adding, “It’s time to do the right thing, it’s time to TAKE AMERICA BACK!!!”…
In case you haven’t heard, former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, after receiving a resurgence of mild attention during Donald Trump’s presidential race, is running for U.S. Senate in Louisiana. Last night’s debate was held at historically black New Orleans college Dillard University, where Duke railed against…
David Duke, former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and current white supremacist, has pulled enough support in his run for Louisiana’s U.S. Senate seat that he’ll participate in November’s televised debate. He’s excited:
Mike Pence—GOP vice-presidential nominee and senescent demon-possessed frat boy—wants to make one thing extremely clear: he does not call people names. (I do!) And to emphasize his commitment to kindergarten politics, he has refused to speak ill of a maniacal racist, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
Former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and struggling candidate for Senate David Duke has recorded a robocall encouraging Louisiana voters to support him and Donald Trump, BuzzFeed News reports, which the Trump campaign, defying all reasonable expectation, was quick to repudiate.
If you wanted to add fodder to a conspiracy theory I just made up—that Donald Trump is actually an orange-skinned alien and not an actually human—his latest interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper is probably a good piece of evidence for you to keep in your file/post on your subreddit. Apparently, billionaire…
The Ku Klux Klan got the Anonymous treatment over the weekend after they threatened protestors in Ferguson, Mo. with "lethal force." In response, the online hacker group donned their digital cape, took over the group's twitter account and posted an image of a Klansman hanging from a noose. Then the doxxing began.
Let's talk about the Ku Klux Klan. Or rather, let's talk about the Ku Klux Klan(s), because at this point, there are dozens of them, a motley heap of warring splinter groups who these days seem mainly occupied with bickering with one another, accusing each other of being FBI agents (as many probably are), and…
Democratic representative Cherie Buckner-Webb is the only black elected official in the state of Idaho, and so when a hand-addressed envelope containing an application for Ku Klux Klan membership arrived at her house, she was understandably annoyed. And confused.
Last night a Florida school board voted 5-2 along racial lines to keep the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School, named for a Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan leader. Brenda Priestly Jackson, one of the two board members who voted for the change, said Forrest was "a terrorist and a racist." (He was also a…
Yesterday marked the 45th anniversary of the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Four little girls were killed; white supremacists were responsible. Christopher McNair, who lost his 11-year-old daughter in the blast, spoke with NPR yesterday. "I didn't even cry for 3 or 4 months…
