7. Great Depression drew back the Klan
Since the Great Depression affected everyone, the KKK was not bypassed; in fact, in 1944, they temporarily disbanded. Local Klan participation in the South increased during the 1960s civil rights movement, and activists who were black and white were bombed, beaten, and shot. These covert, but ostensibly Klansmen-led, operations horrified the country and boosted support for the civil rights movement. Five years later, President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a speech in which he publicly blamed the Klan, and four members were arrested shortly afterwards.
In the following decades, all KKK violent cases decreased, as did the number of ex-members who “migrated” to neo-Nazi or right-wing organizations.
The Black Man was not a full member he was a detective and he gained ACCESS to them. Having access and learning a little more information than the average person does not make him a member. It maybe an HONORARY MEMBERSHIP, nevertheless not a full member.
Racist group like this should be band and destroyed. The black planters had good cause they was helping people, but the got destroyed.
It is ironic the January 6, 2021 debacle was a conservative movement. They were attempting a coup de tat because they didn’t like the results of a fair and legal election. Talk about conservative bullying. Conspiracy theory anyone? Will someone please show me the proof of an election that was stolen? The new Republican Party.
Another fact I did’t not know. WOW! We talk to each other we learn! Thank you Randy.
No surprise here! we all know that or have heard. Leaders only use this if it helps elections. This keeps people from working together. Hate plays people against people. So peace will not exists. Hate has fueled so many fights. This is politics. Always will be.
When people feel like they are being erased? They will fight back? This is just a fact. They don’t always make good choices. But it is their choice. Until there is no choice. People will find ways to keep their people from being erased. All people want to belong. This is human nature. This is no surprise to anyone. Some human want to be with their own. Hating certain color is always sad. To live in peace should be a goal? Hate has always worked as a control. To keep people a part. Each race is special in their own way. I loved the assortment of friends I had. So did my sons. Each group has interesting stories and things to learn.
This is something leaders will never tell the public. Democrate with low morals value are trying to destroy the family. Problem here is?! they love their family as much as they do and will protect them. Black and brown will always be single mom households. Government is their husband. This is a form of control. You will get free, food ,house,medical, just do what you are told. How is this different from a form of slavery? To the state? This keeps control. Leader must demonize something or some one. Don’t forget. Black panther. blm, they were violent. This is a form of control. Give them a little freedom, win election . Put them in a box until needed again. This will let them feel free! Until government says no. To some this is a great life to others a form of bondage. Everyone needs to have rights and choice no matter who you are. It is aways your choice for now. But you do have to help yourself at some point.
I only know’, that Fort Worth, Texas use to be one of the founding areas of the KKK and that the Ellis Pecan Company Building was the meeting place for the organization at times. Also in years back Fort Worth, Texas were most all Democrats. TEXAS was a Demoncrat state. That was in the earlier 1900s’ –1940s’ etc. But yes the building still stands in Fort Worth That the clan would have meetings of their group, or organization. –It is in the older’ part of Fort Worth, Texas, not far from the so called STOCK YARDS’-, where cattle drivers would bring cattle to sale from miles around. I believe the street was or still is Henderson’, which goes north from downtown Fort Worth. Ellis and Fort Worth Vending were 2 of the companies that were well known, and the Boyd Coffee Company that started in Fort Worth, Tex. back in the 30s-40s…then I believe it became HillsBrothers, that is in Waco,Tx. now. It was the BOYD brothers that started the BOYD coffee company. Marshall, Marvin, James, & Clarence Boyd. Some of the Boyds, a sister to the BOYD brothers, also owned what use to be the Victor Hotel on Main St. back in that time. The owner was LuLa Boyd Hardcastle, but it was also sold as time progressed. It was known to be a ‘comfort hotel’ for whent he cowboys would travel through with cattle to be sold in the Stockyards of Fort Worth. I believe the exact location was 1201 1/2 Main Street. The 1/2 being the up’stairs from the bottom floor-entrance lounge area.– I am not for certain, but I was told that Jack Ruby is one that either bought or took over the hotel when it sold back then. Those facts I can not swear to, but all of the others, I do know are correct and honest facts.- When the coffee company was sold, some of the brothers moved to Durant Oklahoma, and were in the oil and cattle business. Specifically Marshall and Uncle Jim were the 2 that bought in Durant, then Jim moved to Highland Park, in Dallas,Tex. after having a stroke, and his wife, our Aunt Gertrude cared for him the rest of his life. Just good ole hard working country people, that believed a person had to put out an effort, and ‘Work’ to make a living. These things ARE all facts of Fort Worth,Texas, and known to be true starting back in the early 1900s’ as some of the BOYDS were born in Kemp, Tex. and the HILL COUNTRY in the 1800s’. The BOYD Prison facility, in Boyd Tex. is possibly??, also connected. I am not certain on this at all, but’-, One of the wardens, years back being Lizzie BOYD.
My grandmother belonged to the KKK.
When she passed there were a number
of Klan newspapers in her belongings.
Not to discount the racial unjust the
Klan did but in these papers there was no
mention of race. There is an article about
men cheating on their wives. Other articles
derided moral transgressions of all sorts.
I grandma didn’t believe in interracial marriages but I never saw her mistreat or be rude to persons of different ethic back grounds.
The Democratic Party were the conservative group back then. So you are wrong to call them liberal. The Republicans party back then were considered more closely align liberal before people like Barry Goldwater came on the scene.
