White supremacist group Ku Klux Klan is re-branding as 'the new Klan'
Founder wants Jews, black people, gays and those of Hispanic origin to join
Rebranded 'Rocky Mountain Knights' claim to stand for 'a strong America'
New recruits will have to wear the white robes, masks and conical hats
It's a white supremacist organisation notorious for homophobic and racist violence, including the lynchings of black people.
But the Ku Klux Klan is now looking to diversify and increase its membership to include Jews, black people, homosexuals and those of Hispanic origin with a re-branding as 'the new Klan'.
All those wanting to join the extreme right-wing group will still have to wear the white robes, masks and conical hats and take part in rituals, according to founder John Abarr.
The rebranded organisation, called the Rocky Mountain Knights, claims to now stand for 'a strong America' rather than irrational hatred.
'White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan. The KKK is for a strong America,' said Mr Abarr.
The move comes after the Klan organiser met with the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People.
He said: 'I thought it was a really good organisation. I don't feel we need to be separate.'
But Klan members have said Mr Abarr is trying to make the changes to further his own political career.
Bradley Jenkins, Imperial Wizard of the KKK, said: 'That man's going against everything the bylaws of the constitution of the KKK say. He's trying to hide behind the KKK to further his political career.'
The Klan is classified as a hate group by the anti-semitism organistion Anti-Defamation League and the civil rights law firm Southern Poverty Law Center.
But some black people have apparently already expressed an interest in joining, after Mr Abarr organised a summit with civil rights groups.
The requirements for joining the new KKK group are to be aged over 18 and live in the Pacific Northwest.
The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.
Similar groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States.
As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies and sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.
Today the organisation is made up of small, unconnected groups that use the KKK name and have emphasised secrecy and distinctive costumes.
Recent estimates suggest there are between 5,000 and 8,000 members.

The Klan gets sued in civil court every time someone like Roof goes off and kills people. It doesn't take much, Klan propaganda among the shooter's possessions, records of them visiting Klan forums and websites.
I suspect by embracing diversity they are hoping this shields them from such lawsuits. If I were a black man I'd join and attend every meeting..

I'm sure that will go down great. All the jews, gays and black people are probably just lining up to join cause who doesn't want to meet up in the woods wearing fancy costumes and burn some crosses? I see that arabs are not included in the new members list so it's not to hard to guess who is the new hate-target.

LOL, let me guess they want to team up with whatever possible to fight the 'new big thing', those pesky illegals?
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Top hat and monocle? That title better include a wizard hat and a staff. I'll accept no less! Originally Posted by Raffa1

It's the same wizard robe and conic hood, just red. It is difficult to take a guy who calls himself the Grand Dragon or Imperial Wizard seriously in this context though. Originally Posted by Shortsy

The Klan was originally a radical christian religious group, it took a few years of inbreeding to whittle it down to a "whites da best" radical group.
Nice to see them returning to their roots. Membership must have been at an all time low.

Don't you guys see? They're allowing Jews, homosexuals and black people so that they can more easily kill them.

The Klan was actually originally a confederate geurilla group who didn't want the war to be over. Originally Posted by Beazy
