PEOPLE OF KU KLUX KLAN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CRIMINALS


Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the famous name of secret organizations in the United States, they believe in the white supremacy and they hide behind conic masks and white robes. They tend to use the violence against African Americans, Jews and other types of religious groups. The KKK was founded by people of Confederate Army in 1866, the first objective of KKK was to restore white supremacy, but they started to use violent methods to maintain the white supremacy, and they destroyed and damaged diversity in the country, almost because it was a group that has much force in other countries. For that reason the people that integrate the Ku Klux Klan should be considered criminals.

First of all, the Ku Klux Klan people start to be judged few years ago for their crimes. They tend to murder people because they believed that white people are the most powerful and intelligent, and for that reason they killed black people, Jewish people, and indigenous people. For example they murdered black soldiers returning from World War I while they were still in military uniforms, because the KKK people thought that “blacks” have to respect the “rights of the white race”1. That type of actions damage the diversity value in any culture.

Secondly, the Ku Klux Klan people begins to murdered blacks, Jewish, indigenous, immigrants, such as Edgar Ray Killen, he was an American and he was a member of the KKK that “conspired to kill the three civil rights activists in 1964.”2. These three activists were black people, and were killed without compassion and without blames, “The Mississippi Civil Rights Workers Murders”3. In addition, the majority of these actions were punished few years ago, and there are many others that are not known.


On the other hand people that are part of the Ku Klux Klan, or people that defend the thinking of this group, believed that their white race were rejected by the black race because they thought that black people are bad. Also they thought that black people wanted the power of the country, and appear many political issues, for that reason they started to defend the white supremacy creating the Ku Klux Klan group.

In conclusion, I can say that people that were member of the KKK have to be consider criminals, because they committed lot of murders and crimes that affect diversity and violate the human rights of many cultures and countries.
