Utter delusion. Whites kidnapped Blacks for slavery, beat and tortured them, killed millions, and you are attempting to defend the KKK? Were you or others taught how the king of Belgium murdered over 30 million in the Congo or how others did the same and worse all over the Third World?
This is exactly what is being taught in American schools. And most people do not realise how racist this view actually is. Most of America's white population arrived to America after the civil war, and generally from a different european ethnic composition than the original white inhabitants. Individuals, who just happened to be black, killed and raped far many more whites than the other way around. The Ku Klux Klan mostly targeted rapists and murderers. They also, on occasion, went after white men that had raped black women. Of course, I am not saying everything this organisation did was right. Just that the historical view being presented to Americans is a very biased one when it comes to race. In any case, white people are no more responsible for slavery than jewish people, or even black people themselves for that matter!
The KKK is a unpatriotic and terrorist organization. Even a right winger like J Edger Hoover knew it and targeted them for their treason.
The problem with the cartoon is that Marx died on March 14, 1883, at age 64. Theodore Roosevelt was about 25 when Marx died. I doubt that they ever met. The closest Marx ever got to America was London, England.
It certainly was not nearly as bad as it is depicted in the media or school textbooks. Between 1880 and 1951, the KKK lynched 3437 blacks (mostly murders/rapists) and over 1000 white people! And of course, not all these lynchings were officially sanctioned by the leadership. Not entirely fair to blame all lynchings on the KKK just because some of their renegade members took justice into their own hands. And yes, the Belgian occupation of the Congo was absolutely horrible, but colonisers from other europeans countries benefited Africa, even if they denied political freedom to their subject peoples. Of course, these Africans would not have had any political freedoms if it was not for the colonisation of their country. Not to say it was right, but just that it caused no net harm.
Whites killed millions of blacks? Wow, that's a serious head scratcher for sure, unless of course the reader of such nonsense is familar with your blatant hypocrises. Between the years 1894-1907 at the height of Jim Crow when racial tension was extremely high, there were on an average 100 lynchings of blacks each of those years....The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow by Richard Wormser Please Mr truth, give us the statistics and or facts that would make up the rest of those millions of blacks murdered at the hands of WHITES. LOL!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6445941.stm ''More than a million people are thought to have died while in transit across the so-called 'middle passage' of the Atlantic due to the inhuman conditions aboard the slave ships and brutal suppression of any resistance. Many slaves captured from the African interior died on the long journey to the coast. On the plantations, life expectancy was short because of poor diet and the back-breaking work. Slaves were branded with hot irons and punishment for trying to run away was whipping or execution. '' Historians believe the number is far higher. Still laughing?
More than a million does not compute to millions--even if we use your grade school history book as a source. Most those slave traders were jews to begin with, and most of those blacks were not killed by their masters per se--as many of them died of disease and or other non 'murder' means. And yes, I'm still
I do not see what is so wrong about executing rapists and murderers. So just how many innocent blacks were actually killed during this time?
Thank you for making my case. Not one had been brought to trial despite the Constitutional presumption of innocence.

There is no Constitutional presumption of innocence. It's a legal construct that requires the state prove their case and nothing more. I suppose you might find it in the Constitution right next to the right to an abortion.
Where are you getting these 'millions' numbers from? When Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) became a British Protectorate at the end of the 19th century, the whites created such superb conditions by developing the country's agriculture, that Rhodesia's black population multiplied many times over in the first 60-70 years. Mugabe seems to have done the opposite disservice to his people. The Atlantic slave trade was indeed a shameful crime, but as you might recall, the white slavers rarely ventured into Africa's interior, and would buy slaves delivered to them by the African slave-hunting tribes. In the 19th century, the European colonizers went through quite some pains attempting to erradicate traditional slavery practices there which even led to some wars, such as with Zanzibar. The Belgians indeed ran Congo with an iron fist, but slavery was one of the things they suppressed in Congo. In States in the end, the evil institution of slavery was abolished at the cost of half a million lives, overwhelmingly white. In some parts of Africa today, slavery is still commonly practiced.
Also keep in mind that all the abuses in Congo took place while king Leopold of Belgium held Congo as his private possession. The reported abuses gradually outraged the Belgian public, and by the 1920s under a lot of pressure, the Belgian monarchy agreed to transfer the jurisdiction over Congo to the Belgian government which then implemented a fairly ambitious program to systematically develop the country economically and socially by investing into its education and infrastructure. And you know all the turmoil (including savage tribal wars) Congo went through as soon as the Belgians pulled out.
quoting Peter, The numbers are in dispute but here is a good book on the subject: http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/08/30/daily/leopold-book-review.html Other historians have come up with numbers that are considerably higher.
Well, this is a multifaceted issue, but here is just one of the examples: http://www.politicalforum.com/elections-campaigns/231948-obama-jews-criticism-black-community.html
Easily. African Americans have joined a political coalition with the teachers union which warehouses their children like poultry without educating them. Look at the test scores for inner city schools. The African American kids are not innately stupid, but they are made stupid by attending schools run by unionized teachers. So really African American parents must have been brainwashed to send their kids to inferior schools where the teachers don't care about them.
At that time Republicans were the "east coast liberals"!!! Also the big financial backers of the Bolshevik Revolution were almost entirely Jewish bankers. Know the FACTS and know HISTORY.
That is false. Africans know full well that without white handouts they would not survive in a 21st century economy.
