The KKK is firing enough recruiting facility across the country. ? goup watchdog say it's a coordinated effort among various clan organisation driven by anger or racial and political issues.
We are in northeast Texas a recruiter with the Ku Klux Klan in mid's part have agreed to meet us. We said we meet them here, and they would take us to a woudy secluded area where he feel more comfrotable talking as long as we didn't show his face.
People are feed up pertard.
This is Henry and he asked us to also alter his voice. He's a recruiter with the texas knight.
Is there concerted efforts to recruit new members in the clan right now.
Yes sir.
In the last a few month, how many new members have you recruited ?
Last month, we recruited clan I would say over 40 in the last month.
But if you feel that tried, and you feel stronger with like this. Why do the clans ought to use the robes and the headdress.
There are governors concerned of the mysterious. They can ? right wing swings.
Henry said he joined the Texas like 4 years ago after meeting people in the right wing political rallies.
You think your culture is better than the others ?
Absolutely, no question.
You think blacks, Spanish, Asians are lesser people ?
Yes I do.
Brian Levin is the director of the centre for the study of heat and extremism. He says despite the clan's effort to recruit new members, the group is a disspearing relic.
The clan is not a player any more. There are masses of ? of trying to appeal important, of trying to appeal active and appeal bigger when in facts do not.
Levin says in its heyday of the 1920th the Ku Klux Klan was deeply enraged the American society with nearly 5 million members including elected officials. Today, Levin says the clan has about 5,000 members.
All they can do now is be an irritant to America rather than a true threat. What they can do is that they can explore existing racial and ethnic tentions. They can explore the distrust that Americans have in institutional like government and media. They are an assaultary entity can not gain truncheon when getting members.
A lot of people say that the clan is basically the shadow of its former self That's why you did the thing.
Yes, that's right.
You think it wrong now.
I don't think so.
That's how we want the problem like what you just share. That's what we worried about.
In the dark corners of Texas and many other parts of the country. The Ku Klux Klan legacy of hate moves on. |
