There would be coverage of a KKK march through some town, for example, but it was always kind of a man-bites-dog kind of story. There'd be like 20 KKK'ers marching and hundreds of anit-KKK people on either side of the road. They were viewed as fringy.
- civilized 4y agoDo you see in the news that these days KKK type orgs are marching around frequently and without massive opposition? The last thing I can think of like that was Charlottesville 2017. That went pretty badly for the racists and AFAIK they failed to stage any meaningful follow-up.
- UncleOxidant 4y agoThese things usually happened in small towns in the midwest or south back then, not in places like DC or other large cities as often happens now.
- civilized 4y agoMaybe I don't consume enough or the right news but I just haven't heard about these events. I googled "white supremacist rallies" and the first result other than Charlottesville was this https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/white-supremacist-group-crashes-anti-abortion-rally-in-the-loop/2724861/ https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/white-supremacist-grou... Some white supremacists tried to join an anti-abortion demonstration earlier this year and they got booed out.
