Why do people think the KKK is illegal?

[Perd Hapley]

I was watching a video, in which someone described a certain organization as "a legalized Ku Klux Klan." It reminded me of a comment someone made several years ago, revealing that she thought the Klan was an illegal organization.

What's up with that?

People think "that ought to be illegal" and then immediately assume it is, because, as RKL says, people are dumb.

It has to do with wearing white after Labor Day mostly.

But yeah most people think out has to do with the racism and burning crosses etc.

Unfortunately, so true.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize that a smart guy like Carlin didn't know the difference between mean and median.

Some people equate "unsavory" with "illegal" . . . which in regard to organizations is true in some countries, but, thankfully, not ours.

Yet.

Considering that many public and private entities have speech codes and hate speech rules, I am not surprised that people believe this.
