Mike Wallace effectively gave the KKK a forum reaching everybody in the United States... That's much more effective than Twitter.
Your comment doesn't read any better.
- tptacek 6y agoYou can watch the Eldon Edwards video right now, with a single Google search, to see how untrue it is that the KKK had in 1957 anything resembling the access to the discourse they have today.
- busterarm 6y agoIf you think the KKK is stronger today than in the 1950s, then you are so ludicrously out of touch that I can't continue this conversation. They might be able to access more people in raw numbers but we also have a lot more people in raw numbers on the planet. Percentage wise they're insignificant, with virtually all of the country not willing to listen to their bullshit. As someone from the security industry, you should be a lot more resistant to bogeymen.
- tptacek 6y agoYeah, you missed my point. In fairness, I didn't make it super clear for you.
- raxxorrax 6y agoVery few people like the KKK. Arguably fewer than in the past.
