Question

What exactly was and is the kkk?

Answer 1

it stands for the kue klux klan they were responsible for killing black people in the middle of the night by burning their houses in the middle of the night while they were sleeping. they dragged black kid to crosses and burned them in the middle of the night. during the day time they acted normal so they wouldnt be caught. the kkk was a cult that believed that any black person isnt pure.

Answer 2

The KKK was a racist group of people, mostly men. They believed in nationalism, of sorts. They thought that the blacks were disgusting, so they needed to pay with either death or torture. This is the reason most people think southern people are racist nowadays. The KKK was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning “circle,” and the Scottish-Gaelic word “clan,” which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration.
