The KKK

“White Power,” is what you would here if you were near the KKK. KKK stands for Ku Klux Klan and they are a terrorist organization that opposes African Americans, Jews, and any other minorities. The KKK was created in 1865 after the civil war ended; it was created to restore white supremacy. The organization decreased between 1868 and 1870, and then finally Ulysses S. Grant ended all of it. Later in 1915 the KKK was found again and majorly grew after WW1. The violence started to raise there were a lot of lynching, beatings, attacks in public and houses, and even murders. Their symbol was burning the cross to intimidate the people.
The Klan decreased during the Great Depression times and fell during WW2. During the Civil Rights Movement the KKK was named out a lot and they were convicted of manslaughter and murders. They had a problem with what is called “The Jim Crow Laws” meaning separate, but equal. African Americans had every right to what whites had, but it had to be seperate. The KKK of course did everything they could to decrease this. The KKK started to decrease more in to the early 1990’s and still from this day there are over 40 groups of them left.
My concern is with Obama being president will this rise again? On the internet it says that the KKK has endorsed Obama and they said that they would rather vote for him than Hillary Clinton any day, but the funny thing is that is a rumor spreading all over the internet. Why would the KKK after 50 years start supporting an African American? There is a clan called “The Knight’s Party” lead by Thomas Robb says now the whites are the minority and they will do anything to protect white supremacy. There are also videos that say he will be assassinated if elected president. Have you noticed though that all the great presidents get assassinated; for example JFK, Lincoln, McKinley, and Garfield. There have already been rumors going around that some people were going to his campaign and had AK’s in the back ready to assassinate him. We could have all predicted this racial thing was going to happen, but it’s great to finally have a change in America having our first ever black president. America has came a long way from what it use to be and for all the people out there that have a problem with other diversities I feel really bad for you.

Outrages of Celebritys

Why is it that whenever celebritys get in trouble with the law they get away with it...? OR when they do get in trouble they can go to jail for a short amount of time and not have to serve the full sentence? Where as an ordinary person has to suffer and don't get off. One name of a celebrity that shows up alot is Paris Hilton...... She has been arrested multiple times for drunk driving, which is when she finally had to serve her full term. The funny thing is she got out for a little time, because she was having a hard time. Another person is Lindsey Lohan for drunk driving, but just like Paris she gets off easy. There are so many actors, singers, actresses, models, and etc. that get in trouble with the law all the time and get off easy. Normal American citizens never and will ever have it let go and slide by like they do? Why is this? The world is so crooked these days that it is sad... Take O.J. Simpson for example, he's convicted of killing his wife and a friend, I think, and there are so many clues that lead to the murder and he gets let off easy. A little over a year he gets convicted again for a felony, but this time it's I think a robbing.... A little strange huh? He gets let off again, but not too long ago he actually gets convicted of another heist.... Come on people it doesn't take a genious to figure this out? Now if this were a normal average everyday life person there is no way they would've gotten off the first conviction of the murder. This makes me realize that the world is so persuaded by money and wealth that it makes you feel so unsafe.
