KKK Attempts Shameless Widespread Recruitment- Jack O'Connor Period 6

The KKK seems to be spreading the word of their organization quickly via recruitment fliers across the United States. They aren't even trying to only cast this blanket of applications onto exclusively white males either. Instead, they are just leaving applications and welcome packages at every door... no matter what your skin color. Many people are baffled and insulted that this would even happen in todays world. Carlos Lodoño from New York is a Columbian immigrant who works in the Long Island area. He was quoted saying, "I'm Colombian and dark-skinned." They would never accept a person like Lodoño into their terror organization. Researchers think that they are casting this huge blanket of flyers in order to intimidate or scare any non-white residents. In addition, they also think its being used to inform or remind any white residents about the fact that immigrants are moving into the neighborhood. Similar fliers have turned up in dozens of U.S. cities over the past six months. The KKK is trying to get people to convert into their religion of hate and intolerance. People have grown and matured since their height of power.

  1. It appalls me that this hate group is still around today. We should have moved on from this many years ago. We as Americans need to except everybody and move on from the past.

  2. I agree with you Rachel! I think it's crazy that this group is still around. Some people are very ignorant.
