I've seen a couple of documentaries where KKK members were interviewed and the sense of purpose and community seemed to be the main thing they were all getting out of it.
I'm not saying the KKK is a good community group, but I will say there are a lot of people with less community than they offer.
- anythingnonidin 9y agoExtremely interesting. Don't suppose you have a link?
- KGIII 9y agoEven better, visit voat.co and read for a few weeks. The white nationalists are all about family, community, and a collective. Well, a specifically white collective. It's very important to them and a frequent topic. Of course, this means reading their posts which is not for the faint of heart. It's like most of them are missing something and are trying to find something to belong to. In a way, I feel more sorrow than anger towards them.

- AndrewOMartin 9y agoIt was Inside The KKK. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4848130/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4848130/ I don't think I've seen anything quite so darkly comic as their fire safety class before their cross burning ceremony, as their artificial-fiber robes are highly flammable.
