I am doing my opinion post first because, I just got through reading my history and I find this to be an interesting piece. I am sure that there will be people out there who do not agree with me but I don't care.
The KKK was founded by some men named John Lester, James Crow, John Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard Reed, and Frank McCord. They all thought that colored people were meant to be slaves and shouldn't have the right of freedom. (At least that is what I got from all of of the readings I found.) I don't understand why they had such a hard time with this but they did.
I feel very strongly about the way they treated people. I think that they were nothing but murderers for the things that they did. They would lynch people for agreeing with the colored people. They created this group back in 1866. What I don't understand is that from what I can gather at least some of the slaves were kidnapped and brought over here to this country. So, one of my problems is, why are these men so mad that the colored people now want freedom? Just do your chores yourself!
I understand that I should probably try and see this from their point of view but I have tried and I just cannot say that I agree with or understand the craziness of this group. Some people probably think that the KKK has died off but they are still active out there somewhere. I just don't understand why people cannot get along. I know not everyone agrees on some things but come on color should not be an issue.
Everybody has the same color of blood it is all red!!!!!
