Title: Why do people think the KKK is illegal?
Post by: Perd Hapley on January 10, 2014, 07:15:26 PM: 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? ???

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. :P

Yet.
