I can’t help but laugh whenever I see them all dressed up in their silly little costumes, calling each other “Wizards” and “Cyclops,” they’re such losers 😂
They were scary, you can read biographies of black people who survived attacks. They were a terrorist group that scared thousands, killed and tortured people , so they were a very real manifestation of evil. I'd think most would piss their pants if people dressed up as ghosts carrying a burning cross were running after you , I mean it's insane..
I remember reading an article about the time Krispy Kreme had the bright idea to host a 'Krispy Kreme Klub' or 'KKK' event at one of their stores in the UK. It did not take long for someone to compare their acronym to the Ku Klux Klan. It drew quite a lot of unwanted attention and Krispy Kreme had to apologize for their blunder.
They are damn lucky the UK didn’t give them lengthy prison sentences, there is no freedom of speech in England where thousands of people are imprisoned every year because of what they say or write.
@@SAUBER_KH7 that’s amazing!!! Anyone remember Abercrombie and Fitch making a t-shirt “two Wongs don’t make a White”? That lasted about 48 hours in the stores. 🤦
My grandfather grew up in a small town in northern Ohio. When he was a kid the Klan tried to set up a chapter there, but no one joined because there were no non-whites or non-protestants living in the area.
I remember watching Savox's video about evil wrestlers and one of the scariest things i heard was these two african amercian wrestlers being invited to a park for a party and had to hide because a KKK rally was going on. Men with guns were patrolling the area. They were supposed to be the entertainment.
Met a klan member a few years ago, had no idea until he started talking about jews and african Americans and claimed they would be cleansed. It was at that point i noticed the swastika and klan tattoo
I’m a victim of generational trauma who has PTSD because of what happened to my ancestors hundreds of years ago. Although I am a solid upper middle-class white man with blue eyes I’m also 17% Cherokee whose ancestors were on the Trail of Tears and therefore I am a victim. I’m also 25% bisexual and am a member of the LGBTQ community and belong to many support groups to help me handle living in a country steeped in institutional racism but there is help out there if you seek it.
I was so terrified of these people as a kid in the 60's and 70's that I can't even watch this at almost midnight for fear of nightmares. I could probably watch the Excorcist right now, but the terror these people implanted in me as a child is still too deeply ingrained at almost 60 yo .
Their way of life, while it will never completely die, is greatly diminished in the modern day because of their unending hate. People who get out of their corner of the world and actually learn and experience culture usually don't ascribe to these failed practices anymore. Sadly, once the thought is out there, Nazism, and White Supremacy, you can't put it back. Why I never understood our "War on Terror" its as futile as "War on Communism" you can't wage war against an ideal because, and sadly this works for flawed ideals as well, "There is no cause that is lost if there is yet one fool left to fight for it."
@@casteroner3617 I'm sorry, but you can not equate my experience from over 50 years ago, in my circumstances, without having experienced it yourself. I'm going to guess, I could be wrong, but I don't think you were even alive back then. We moved from NY to MD when I was under 9yo. We had a cross burned in our yard in front of our new house on the suburbs. We had several instances as a family where we were terrorized and as myself, alone... I experienced some horrific crap including severe SA at 12 and ongoing terror Don't compare yourself to someone you don't know during an era you didn't experience (my assumption, I'll own it if I'm wrong). It's belittling and arrogant
@@casteroner3617 "Oh, I know how you feel" No No you don't Wt people don't get hunted down by mobs so they can be lynched on a regular bases. You didn't live in fear to be accused of random things by SOCIETY and have punishment just because of how you look. You didn't worry about where you could live, shop, eat, etc without being stared down with hate. You already know what neighborhoods to avoid. Believe me, I avoid the same ones. But those neighborhoods are not the majority of places. When I was growing up, there were few places of safety as the majority of places were hostile. Please don't
They love hiding behind their twisted version of 'god'. I truly do say God and Christ would not approve of killing any one especially children for simply being black. It always upsets me how they take faith and twist it around which is very hypocritical of them to do. Christ never once told any one to kill their enemies for being Black or Hispanic or any other race nor did he advocate violence towards any one for that matter. I'm not Protestant I'm Orthodox but the rest of my family is Protestant and these people give them a bad name. I pray they change and turn away from being so hateful and angry.
@@thatsnodildo1974 one of the worst lies told is the "curse of ham" lie. My grandmother believed it. She thought black ppl were black due to the curse of Ham. Its ridiculous, but its what they taught in churches in the South. I think Mormons have a similar teaching, or at least used to.
Where I grew up they gloss right over their existence in history cuz they can't be all that bad if one of the members built Mt. Rushmore. Cuz, 'mercia.
Not any more, this is all they teach them in today’s public schools when they take a break from indoctrinating them in leftist theology or helping them figure out what gender they are.
Im from Tennessee and my grandmother is from Pulaski. My grandfather was worried my grandmother would divorce him if she found out he was part black. She didnt care and acted like it was silly of him to even think that, but she occassionally said some pretty racist stuff. When i was growing up we went to a white church but i was sent to VBS at a black church where my grandfather's friends went. His black friends often visited the white church. It was all very peaceful until i hit puberty... suddenly my dad started acting very racist 😢 i am against the idea that all white ppl are racist, but here in Tennessee things are not perfect either. It takes a few generations for the hate to fully go away once it settles in. I could have followed suit and been racist too after being bullied at the mostly black high school i went to, but i chose to break that cycle finally. Two wrongs dont make a right, and my DNA is from all over, i have no right to be shamed or proud... its just how i was born.
@@Phoenix250heres what I've found to be true.i lived in Mississippi in the 1960's and saw clan activity.some of my folks were pretty racist .after a few years when my family became born of the spirit of God all the racism died with the rest of their sins.Jesus will never and has never condoned hatred towards anyone. Theres only one race and thats the human race.
Keep in mind that people from this group were in congress, where lawyers and beauracrats, and their proteges are still there in one shape form or another
I do, how the racists always do, "I'm not racist but Donald Trump and the Klan aren't that bad." They always argue by putting two incongruent statements together and word vomiting. Why one should really educate themselves and make sure their beliefs dont come from root racism and White Supremacy before they speak.
@@Weatheredcutcopperstairs most are pretty reasonable comments actually 😃 i bet if you scroll long enough you will find some doozies, but aint nobody got time fo dat!
Something that is always interesting to me is how there are more Holocaust museums in the US than ones that focus on the American atrocities of slavery, Jim Crow, and the genocide of the Native populations…
My family came from Italy in the 1920's to escape Mussolini's regime back in the old world like many other Italians did at the time. They moved into a WASP neighborhood in the metro Detroit area, seeing that were catholic and Italian, a small chapter of the KKK harassed quite a few different immigrant families in the area. My Great Grandmother who died at 103 told me a story of them burning a cross in the neighborhood and throwing bricks through new home owners windows including my family's house at the time. Interesting time period indeed and wonderful video!
@@gloriawinbush1590Italians were not always seen as white. The Klan hates anyone who isn't of "Aryan" descent. It wouldn't do to give them ancestry tests. They'd kill themselves.
Many white people back then terrorized immigrants just as much as African Americans and Native Americans. I’m so sorry about all the trauma your family faced :(
It's crazy how recent this history truly is. My mom told me stories of her aunts and uncles finding a burning cross on their front lawn when they moved to a mostly white neighbourhood. The movie O Brother, Where Art Thou has an incredible KKK scene that really captures the formations and occult like sense of it all.
You are one of the few channels that ive come across that understands that to defeat something you must learn about it. Most people just believe what they believe without understanding the other side at all. Much easier to have conversations with and/or tolerate or disband the other side when you can find a common ground (not in common belief but in the knowledge you have of their belief). Much respect.
My mom‘s parents where Catholic Italian immigrants. She had her house bombarded with stones one night, smashing out all of their windows by the clan when she was a young girl. Even in New York State, this took place.
My Grandfather and his brother from Rural Nashville families since 1788 found them selves slaves on their Uncle's farm after his parents divorced. His Dad moved to another town and his Mom was not allowed custody by law in 1915. His uncle pulled them from school to work the farm at then end 6th and 8th Grade. When the KKK was recruiting teens in the area not taking no for an answer. They walked to St Paul MN in 1921 the start of the Gangster era here. My husband's Mother was born in 1919 in Indianapolis Indiana but when the Klan came in like Gangbusters by 1921 they felt they had to move to Detroit to be safe. There her cousin became a UCC Minister and rose to become the Head of the National Council of Churches. His daughter said "he then lost his mind" and became a Black Nationalist and started his own Church. His wife left with the girls and they led Upper Middle Class lives including college and being outstanding in their fields. One other cousin worked for Bell Telephone Labs as an Engineer and held numerous patents in his life time. An uncle served as a Surgeon in the Civil War and eventually became head of the Detroit Health Department. Life might have been very different if the family had stayed in Indianapolis.
@@CoreyF-hf3dn i learned to appreciate TN when i was kidnapped and brought as far as Texas. I never wanna leave again! That said, Tennessee still has some growing up to do. Its not bad at all if you know where to go. Certain east TN places and Memphis are a BIG no go! A few hick towns too, but not all. I know some places that are too dangerous if u are white! TN became quite multicultural in the80s, 90s, and 2000s when notably Asian and Mexican immigrants arrived.
What were Native Americans members of the Klan too? If that's true, it surprises me the old bigoted Whites would let them?! Also could you imagine once they started burning their crosses, the Native Americans would spontaneously break into a war dance!😝😆

I don't know how people can argue with this it's litteraly common sense although it surely wasn't fucking common back then or even now come to think of it
Hispanic Texan here, we all grew up knowing the clan was more Democrat. Republicans were the first party of black voters. Us Hispanics are worker bees and largely Catholic which is why we lean more conservative.
Granted the clan was aligned with the values of the old Democrat party, however during the campaign of FDR there was a large movement of pro-union and progressive Democrats changing the demographic of the Democratic party, such as FDR. It was more-so realized that when JFK ran as the Democrat candidate against Nixon, who was Republican, that the switch was becoming reality. This switch meaning that Democrats became the progressive, liberal, pro civil rights and protection of minorities, aka the old Republican party that Abe Lincoln was once a part of (which of course Lincoln wasn’t perfect at all). The more pro segregation, not so aligned with minority rights and conservative nationalist that we now know today as the Republican party also was cemented. I am a Hispanic Arizonan and agree that while you are right that the clan was more “Democrat”, this is only true when we refer to the OLD Democrat party that has now become the current Republican party, refer to the quick history lesson above for context. Again you are also right that the Republican party was the first party in support of the Black vote BUT you would be wrong to say that the Democrats currently don’t also support the Black vote, as a matter of fact I would argue that they carry more values that align with the Black vote, granted I am not African America, but progressives, which are the Democrats right now, have historically always be shown to support the rights of all minorities. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
@@flashypixel33 blah blah blah, how convenient that the democrats eventually tried to trick people into thinking, "hey we switched platforms... you know all that Jim Crow and KKK stuff... well that isn't us anymore... we are the good guys now." Doesn't work like that, but of course your average leftist is stupid enough to think it does.
For people who don't think the party swap happened, can you please tell me what "Liberalism" is, and how race-based slavery is compatible with Liberal philosophy?
Every time I see pictures of the clan I can’t help but laugh, such as one humorous picture I saw of clansmen on a Farris wheel, bunch of white sheeted clowns but they forgot the makeup.

@ZootyZoFo ah yes, let's play moral high ground Edit: I'm so sorry, I was skimming, I thought for some reason it was a "Yeah the reason for the war sucked but what about!!!!!" like it's supposed to somehow make someone question the entire war or something.

I wrote my college paper on the Second Klan and D.C. Stephenson. The man was a complete psychopath. The things he did to Madge Oberholtzer, were some of the most messed up things I have ever heard described.
Another big event to mention regarding this was 1964 murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. The movie Mississippi burning was based on that. I highly recommend, its hard to watch but I think it does a very good portrayal of what was going on. Glory is another really good yet very hard movie to watch regarding the first back regiment in the civil war. If anyone is interested.
A certain group of people that owned all of the slave ships and are the reason they were taken to the US, that owned over 90% of slaves in the US and less than 1.6% of families in the country at the peak owned any, that owns all of the entertainment industry and news and education have sown division to garner control of everything. Quit fighting eachother and see what’s been going on
As someone who doesn’t really choose a side, both Democrats and Republicans are in bed with each other, and having us divided means we are easier to control.
I used to volunteer at a Jewish museum attached to a Jewish community center/campus. There's a KKK uniform in the permanent Holocaust history display. Story is that a local policeman who was accomplished and beloved and just integral in the community, passed away decades ago, and when his family was sorting his belongings, they found the uniform in his attic and were heartbroken. They had no clue he'd been in the klan.
My Afroamerican Mexican Native American neighbor told me once that she survived a shoot1ng of the K K K police 30 years ago & showed me her broken, gvnned down back, which was resulted from that incident & still looks like it's fresh. That's why she came to Europe 🇪🇺 because she doesn't feel safe there anymore. I don't get why some people are so mean to the core to other people & animals... 🙆♀️
30 years ago..? So in the 90s? I thought the KKK was pretty much diminished by then. They really were only a big thing in the early and mid 20th century.
Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit is the most disturbing/heartbreaking song I ever heard because it's real. She even had a line were she says(black bodies swinging with the smells of burning flesh) I forgot the name but back in the 1930's there was a 18 year old special needs black boy who was accused of graping a white woman(this obviously wasn't true)but they drug him into the streets kicked,beat,spit,cut his finger & privates off then lynched him in front of everyone then set his body on fire. They even took pictures of it clapping there hands happily
My history teacher taught us about that song and others like it for a month when I was in high school. He very honestly told us about the ugly history of America, no holds barred. I'm eternally grateful to Mr. East and Mr. M.

I'm glad that you cover this stuff and also that you emphasized the importance of learning these things. They're not a fun part of our history in the US but they are apart of it that we need to address and not forget about. History is doomed to repeat if we don't remember what happened the first time.
Yeah that should had been put in video. Because even if the Klan dies, their ideas were spread to others like a disease, and how do you think that affects their policies which in turn shapes our country.
My small town in kentucky was known as a sundown town, and was known by the large KKK populations in the 40s and 50s, My grandma even was neighbors with one as a kid, but one of the most sad thing I ever heard was when my dad told me a story about a house that was behind a restaurant that nobody would destroy because it was the last place anyone had been lynched in my county
At my high school in Alabama we had two hunting clubs, one hunted dead, wore camo and smelled like deer attract, usually with blood on them. One time they had a deer in their truck. They were fine. The other hunting club smelled like kerosene, bought lumber and ropes and spoke as you would expect them to. No one liked them as they were terrible humans. We all knew who they "hunted" and it wasn't turkeys.

I wish you talked more about how they also terrorized Catholics. Catholics were considered no better than Jews and blacks (though they’d use a more offensive term for blacks). We were terrorized, murdered, lynched, and shot as well. Perhaps you could talk about if you focus on the second iteration of the KKK.
Hating Catholics didn't go out of fashion in the USA until around the 1960s. When JFK was elected there was hysteria that Catholics were going to take over America and turn it into a theocracy.
I think he'd do that sort of thing if he wanted to make multiple videos about the KKK, but he's done a decent job of summing it up in this one. He mentions the anti-Catholicism when he talked about the second era of the KKK.
@@snowcat9308 Yeah, I wrote my comment at around halfway of the video and kind of made an assumption based on that. I still think he didn’t expound enough about the crimes the KKK committed against Catholics and Jews, though obviously their crimes against blacks were more common and greatly documented. I say this because some of my fellow Catholics seem to forget that we were also hated and targeted by some of the most infamous far-right groups in history (such as the KKK and Nazi Germany, still hated by the KKK and hated by many neo-Nazis) and so now that we’re a few generations in of being seen as “True Americans” they forget our history and mimic the same prejudicial attitudes and rhetoric that accused Catholics of being criminals, alcoholics, troublemakers, communists, traitors, and “undesirables.” Since I mentioned Nazi Germany, I think Disturban could also do a video on the resistance of German, Austrian, Bavarian, and Polish Catholics against the Nazi Party and the special barracks they sent over 3,000 Catholic priests to for safeguarding Jews, protesting Nazi rule, giving “unpatriotic” sermons, spreading anti-Nazi literature, and many for simply being Catholic and non-German.
Its not that bad...every people group has some racists. For the USA id say dark moments would be spreading syphilis in Guatemala just to see what happens. Or overthrowing half of Central America and setting up half a dozen puppet states just to get a better deal on bananas and coffee. Thats dark...
I live in Huntsville, Alabama. A couple of months before the 2016 election, I woke up on a Sunday morning and walked my dogs, noticing that somebody had left Ziploc bags with little notes in them on most of the driveways in the neighborhood. Each one had a pebble inside to keep it from blowing away. Houses occupied by non-white people were generally skipped. My house, with solar panels and an electric car out front, also didn't get one. I brought one home after finding it in the street so we could have a look. It contained a brief, poorly written racist screed, and an invitation to call a phone number with a recording of a racist rant ending in the words, "hail victory!" It did not specifically endorse Trump, but seemed to be aimed at mobilizing people opposed to immigration. I had some friends over for brunch that day so we all listened to that recording together and laughed, but I've been a little disturbed ever since. Whoever distributed these messages clearly had some familiarity with the neighborhood and its residents, so they probably live here. I walk my dogs twice a day and I talk to everybody, so this is probably somebody I've had friendly conversations with.
Yeah with the Right Wing grift machine going full speed online, the KKK is trying to perfect its old grift. They know a bunch of scared White people (not all just the White Replacement theory ones) are being spooked by this repackaged Eugenics BS so they're using it to aid their ailing membership.
Hey Disturban would you consider covering the atrocities of the Phillipine Revolution against Spain and the Malicious Occupation by the American Government?
For the time and place he was from, he wasn’t particularly special when it comes to being inhuman. Fort Pillow would not have happened if the men who participated in it didn’t want it to happen.
Yeah but let's keep the monument up on today's age? That's a STRONG pro racist message. You dont see any statues of Hitler in Germany, wonder why that is? Get it?
Back when I lived in Texas, my ex-boyfriend used to volunteer with the local sheriff's department. He told me that some cops get called to escort KKK members from time to time for reasons i dont remember. He told me that the sherrifs would send their black cops to piss them off knowing that they can't do anything
The klan is still around and active here in the U.S. They're more quiet about it, but they're around. In 2004, they held a rally on the steps of my state's capitol building.
So, I watch vids with CC cause I have hearing loss, and the mistakes it makes can be so beautiful - it's putting "clown" instead of "klan" and that's a nice fitting one cause they are absolute clowns. Psycho ones but still
No the f ed up kind who actually kill people. The Joker, because he's fictitious, has actually killed absolutely no one. I'm a DC fan too, but I'm also Mixed Race and this ain't the subject to joke around with.
I've seen some pretty amusing CC flubs. Which is ironic because the reason I use it is that it's hard for me to listen as fast as some people talk, it gets all garbled. So it really does not help when you read something that doesn't make sense because the automated captioning "heard" it inaccurately. 😂
Underrated comment. It's not like Disturban is some kind of politics channel making broad assertions about conservativism as a whole. He is shining a light on the dark history of the KKK. If they're hollering about it, I wonder why this video hit them so hard?
@@CoreyF-hf3dn Rightfully so, but OP is talking about the chuds who are hollering in the comments about how "the democrat party are the real bad guys!"
This was rampant in the northern half of the country too. My mother is in her 60s, and she remembers her father being harassed by them as a child. He had fought in Korea though and was a sheriff, so their intimidation tactics didn’t work to say the least.
First viewer, just wanted to let people know life is about loving one another. If someone looks, act, or thinks differently from you go up to them and get to know them you never know what wisdom you might reflect on your own life
You're right with the emphasis on "Classic." Today's Republicans are yesterday's Democrats. You can't understand or see that for yourself, you're obviously trying to push a narrative.
6:40 It’s “South Carolina” as in a proper, never changing name. I mean this totally respectfully, and just so you know for future videos. Both Carolina and Dakota began as single states but were split, though Carolina as early as 1712. Other than that one oops, amazing video. And honestly this is the first time I sat back and thought how much research you must do for these when it isn’t in any way your history. Can’t wait for more.
I think it's amazing that education on this in America starts and stops at "they were just a small group of people who just couldn't get with the times!"
It doesn't fit their narrative thus the shame it brings is so damning that the Republicans (to win elections) try to spin it and reduce its role in history. Why do you think there are Holocaust deniers? Anything the Right Wing can't spin? They try to ignore its existence.
I’m British and live in the Black Country area of England. In the late eighties and early nineties I worked at a car dealership where one of the mechanics was a with a British member of the KKK. If I asked him why he came out with all the far right racist bs although he never spoke about his beliefs when black or Asian workmates were around and never said anything derogatory to them. He even supported West Bromwich Albion, a team known for having some of the first black stars in the English first division (Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson). Some people are plain dumb 😔
My great uncle Baird Markham (born in the 1890's) was a Commander in the National Guard and in the 1920's went to I think it was Alabama to keep order because even there Klan activity was at a dramatic rise. My grandmother lived to be 102, and told me a bit about it. He was a Southerner, but enough was enough.
Mr. Disturban, can you also do a video on Black Wall Street, Lake Lanier or any of the other successful black settlements that were destroyed by hateful racists?

Hey love your videos disturbian I like you to cover next the brutal battle of grozny during the Chechen war and the dirty war that happened in Argentina
Forrest was arguably the best fighting general of the Civil War. And Benedict Arnold was arguably the best fighting general of the American Revolution. Their misdeeds obviously obscure this.
Most people I've spoken to don't even realize the KKK was birthed here in TN. It's not surprising, given the general climate here. The further from Nashville ypu get, the more backwoods it is. :/
A person's knowledge of these FACTS depends on where and when you attended school. I was taught this in school. Maybe not quite as detailed, but definitely taught most of this in class.

I was so terrified of these people as a kid in the 60's and 70's that I can't even watch this at almost midnight for fear of nightmares. I could probably watch the Excorcist right now, but the terror these people implanted in me as a child is still too deeply ingrained at almost 60 yo .
Their way of life, while it will never completely die, is greatly diminished in the modern day because of their unending hate. People who get out of their corner of the world and actually learn and experience culture usually don't ascribe to these failed practices anymore. Sadly, once the thought is out there, Nazism, and White Supremacy, you can't put it back. Why I never understood our "War on Terror" its as futile as "War on Communism" you can't wage war against an ideal because, and sadly this works for flawed ideals as well, "There is no cause that is lost if there is yet one fool left to fight for it."
I'm sorry that you still have to live with that fear. I wish there wasn't so much ignorance and hatred. 🙁

You didn't worry about where you could live, shop, eat, etc without being stared down with hate. You already know what neighborhoods to avoid. Believe me, I avoid the same ones. But those neighborhoods are not the majority of places. When I was growing up, there were few places of safety as the majority of places were hostile.

They love hiding behind their twisted version of 'god'. I truly do say God and Christ would not approve of killing any one especially children for simply being black. It always upsets me how they take faith and twist it around which is very hypocritical of them to do. Christ never once told any one to kill their enemies for being Black or Hispanic or any other race nor did he advocate violence towards any one for that matter. I'm not Protestant I'm Orthodox but the rest of my family is Protestant and these people give them a bad name. I pray they change and turn away from being so hateful and angry.

Im from Tennessee and my grandmother is from Pulaski. My grandfather was worried my grandmother would divorce him if she found out he was part black. She didnt care and acted like it was silly of him to even think that, but she occassionally said some pretty racist stuff. When i was growing up we went to a white church but i was sent to VBS at a black church where my grandfather's friends went. His black friends often visited the white church. It was all very peaceful until i hit puberty... suddenly my dad started acting very racist 😢 i am against the idea that all white ppl are racist, but here in Tennessee things are not perfect either. It takes a few generations for the hate to fully go away once it settles in. I could have followed suit and been racist too after being bullied at the mostly black high school i went to, but i chose to break that cycle finally. Two wrongs dont make a right, and my DNA is from all over, i have no right to be shamed or proud... its just how i was born.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for breaking the cycle.

My Grandfather and his brother from Rural Nashville families since 1788 found them selves slaves on their Uncle's farm after his parents divorced. His Dad moved to another town and his Mom was not allowed custody by law in 1915. His uncle pulled them from school to work the farm at then end 6th and 8th Grade. When the KKK was recruiting teens in the area not taking no for an answer. They walked to St Paul MN in 1921 the start of the Gangster era here.
My husband's Mother was born in 1919 in Indianapolis Indiana but when the Klan came in like Gangbusters by 1921 they felt they had to move to Detroit to be safe. There her cousin became a UCC Minister and rose to become the Head of the National Council of Churches. His daughter said "he then lost his mind" and became a Black Nationalist and started his own Church. His wife left with the girls and they led Upper Middle Class lives including college and being outstanding in their fields. One other cousin worked for Bell Telephone Labs as an Engineer and held numerous patents in his life time. An uncle served as a Surgeon in the Civil War and eventually became head of the Detroit Health Department. Life might have been very different if the family had stayed in Indianapolis.

Hispanic Texan here, we all grew up knowing the clan was more Democrat. Republicans were the first party of black voters. Us Hispanics are worker bees and largely Catholic which is why we lean more conservative.
Granted the clan was aligned with the values of the old Democrat party, however during the campaign of FDR there was a large movement of pro-union and progressive Democrats changing the demographic of the Democratic party, such as FDR. It was more-so realized that when JFK ran as the Democrat candidate against Nixon, who was Republican, that the switch was becoming reality. This switch meaning that Democrats became the progressive, liberal, pro civil rights and protection of minorities, aka the old Republican party that Abe Lincoln was once a part of (which of course Lincoln wasn’t perfect at all). The more pro segregation, not so aligned with minority rights and conservative nationalist that we now know today as the Republican party also was cemented.
I am a Hispanic Arizonan and agree that while you are right that the clan was more “Democrat”, this is only true when we refer to the OLD Democrat party that has now become the current Republican party, refer to the quick history lesson above for context. Again you are also right that the Republican party was the first party in support of the Black vote BUT you would be wrong to say that the Democrats currently don’t also support the Black vote, as a matter of fact I would argue that they carry more values that align with the Black vote, granted I am not African America, but progressives, which are the Democrats right now, have historically always be shown to support the rights of all minorities.

We were terrorized, murdered, lynched, and shot as well. Perhaps you could talk about if you focus on the second iteration of the KKK.
Hating Catholics didn't go out of fashion in the USA until around the 1960s. When JFK was elected there was hysteria that Catholics were going to take over America and turn it into a theocracy.
I think he'd do that sort of thing if he wanted to make multiple videos about the KKK, but he's done a decent job of summing it up in this one. He mentions the anti-Catholicism when he talked about the second era of the KKK.
I, never knew this.
I, shall do some research on this.
@@snowcat9308 Yeah, I wrote my comment at around halfway of the video and kind of made an assumption based on that. I still think he didn’t expound enough about the crimes the KKK committed against Catholics and Jews, though obviously their crimes against blacks were more common and greatly documented. I say this because some of my fellow Catholics seem to forget that we were also hated and targeted by some of the most infamous far-right groups in history (such as the KKK and Nazi Germany, still hated by the KKK and hated by many neo-Nazis) and so now that we’re a few generations in of being seen as “True Americans” they forget our history and mimic the same prejudicial attitudes and rhetoric that accused Catholics of being criminals, alcoholics, troublemakers, communists, traitors, and “undesirables.” Since I mentioned Nazi Germany, I think Disturban could also do a video on the resistance of German, Austrian, Bavarian, and Polish Catholics against the Nazi Party and the special barracks they sent over 3,000 Catholic priests to for safeguarding Jews, protesting Nazi rule, giving “unpatriotic” sermons, spreading anti-Nazi literature, and many for simply being Catholic and non-German.
This is actually one of the darkest chapters in American history
Its not that bad...every people group has some racists. For the USA id say dark moments would be spreading syphilis in Guatemala just to see what happens. Or overthrowing half of Central America and setting up half a dozen puppet states just to get a better deal on bananas and coffee. Thats dark...
It’s interesting how the culture of the antebellum south was basically inspired by Scottish culture.
I live in Huntsville, Alabama. A couple of months before the 2016 election, I woke up on a Sunday morning and walked my dogs, noticing that somebody had left Ziploc bags with little notes in them on most of the driveways in the neighborhood. Each one had a pebble inside to keep it from blowing away. Houses occupied by non-white people were generally skipped. My house, with solar panels and an electric car out front, also didn't get one. I brought one home after finding it in the street so we could have a look. It contained a brief, poorly written racist screed, and an invitation to call a phone number with a recording of a racist rant ending in the words, "hail victory!" It did not specifically endorse Trump, but seemed to be aimed at mobilizing people opposed to immigration. I had some friends over for brunch that day so we all listened to that recording together and laughed, but I've been a little disturbed ever since.
Whoever distributed these messages clearly had some familiarity with the neighborhood and its residents, so they probably live here. I walk my dogs twice a day and I talk to everybody, so this is probably somebody I've had friendly conversations with.
Yeah with the Right Wing grift machine going full speed online, the KKK is trying to perfect its old grift. They know a bunch of scared White people (not all just the White Replacement theory ones) are being spooked by this repackaged Eugenics BS so they're using it to aid their ailing membership.
Hey Disturban would you consider covering the atrocities of the Phillipine Revolution against Spain and the Malicious Occupation by the American Government?
The fact that Nathan Bedford Forrest has so many monuments to him in the USA is sickening.
For the time and place he was from, he wasn’t particularly special when it comes to being inhuman. Fort Pillow would not have happened if the men who participated in it didn’t want it to happen.
Yeah but let's keep the monument up on today's age? That's a STRONG pro racist message. You dont see any statues of Hitler in Germany, wonder why that is? Get it?
I'll never understand this kind of hate.
None deserve air
statistically there has been ~150k White victims of interracial unaliving since 1968
guess the race of the perps
I have never hated anything or anyone so much that i wanted to join a cult. Nor have i loved anything enough to join a cult or even a club.
Back when I lived in Texas, my ex-boyfriend used to volunteer with the local sheriff's department. He told me that some cops get called to escort KKK members from time to time for reasons i dont remember. He told me that the sherrifs would send their black cops to piss them off knowing that they can't do anything
The klan is still around and active here in the U.S. They're more quiet about it, but they're around. In 2004, they held a rally on the steps of my state's capitol building.
Man, those guys sure are spooky 👻
Lol
Such dorks 😂
Ghosts lol
I thought KKK meant “Kool Kids Klub”, boy was I wrong
no u didnt

So, I watch vids with CC cause I have hearing loss, and the mistakes it makes can be so beautiful - it's putting "clown" instead of "klan" and that's a nice fitting one cause they are absolute clowns. Psycho ones but still
You mean like The Joker?
No the f ed up kind who actually kill people. The Joker, because he's fictitious, has actually killed absolutely no one. I'm a DC fan too, but I'm also Mixed Race and this ain't the subject to joke around with.
I've seen some pretty amusing CC flubs. Which is ironic because the reason I use it is that it's hard for me to listen as fast as some people talk, it gets all garbled. So it really does not help when you read something that doesn't make sense because the automated captioning "heard" it inaccurately. 😂
That was my grand pee-paw Wesley in the thumb nail!! What a hero 🫡
If this video makes you mad or want to defend or deflect, you're part of the problem. Just saying, a hit dog will holler.
it makes me wonder why grown men walked around in bedsheets calling themselves grand wizards lol. I swear history is crazy sometimes.
Underrated comment. It's not like Disturban is some kind of politics channel making broad assertions about conservativism as a whole. He is shining a light on the dark history of the KKK. If they're hollering about it, I wonder why this video hit them so hard?
I'm mad, because my Black forefathers had to take all that BS.
@@CoreyF-hf3dn Rightfully so, but OP is talking about the chuds who are hollering in the comments about how "the democrat party are the real bad guys!"
@@CoreyF-hf3dn Like wise, I try to channel that feeling into making sure it doesn't happen again.
And founded by the DEMOCRATS, not Republicans.
Conservative southern democrats. The modern kkk endorsed Trump
Ah yes, the losers klub.
This was rampant in the northern half of the country too. My mother is in her 60s, and she remembers her father being harassed by them as a child. He had fought in Korea though and was a sheriff, so their intimidation tactics didn’t work to say the least.
First viewer, just wanted to let people know life is about loving one another. If someone looks, act, or thinks differently from you go up to them and get to know them you never know what wisdom you might reflect on your own life
I was lucky enough to join during a service at the 16th street baptist church. Not religious myself but you could feel the passion!
Resuming: "You're a fanatic like me with the same skin color, or you have no right to exist."
classic democrat mind set
Nice try Troll @@mr.annoying9453
@@mr.annoying9453No, not really.
@Lunar994 yep. 100 percent. they were literally democrats.
You're right with the emphasis on "Classic." Today's Republicans are yesterday's Democrats. You can't understand or see that for yourself, you're obviously trying to push a narrative.
6:40 It’s “South Carolina” as in a proper, never changing name. I mean this totally respectfully, and just so you know for future videos. Both Carolina and Dakota began as single states but were split, though Carolina as early as 1712.
Other than that one oops, amazing video. And honestly this is the first time I sat back and thought how much research you must do for these when it isn’t in any way your history. Can’t wait for more.
I think it's amazing that education on this in America starts and stops at "they were just a small group of people who just couldn't get with the times!"
Love how conservatives forget this lmao
It doesn't fit their narrative thus the shame it brings is so damning that the Republicans (to win elections) try to spin it and reduce its role in history. Why do you think there are Holocaust deniers? Anything the Right Wing can't spin? They try to ignore its existence.
The kkk were democrats.
I haven't.
CoSeRvATiVeS😂 lol. Slave owners were ALL SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS 😂 BUT PLEASE THINK ALL BAD THINGS ARE CONSERVATIVES ALONE.
I’m British and live in the Black Country area of England.
In the late eighties and early nineties I worked at a car dealership where one of the mechanics was a with a British member of the KKK.
If I asked him why he came out with all the far right racist bs although he never spoke about his beliefs when black or Asian workmates were around and never said anything derogatory to them.
He even supported West Bromwich Albion, a team known for having some of the first black stars in the English first division (Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson).
Some people are plain dumb 😔
In 1868, South Carolina had a majority Black legislature.
My great uncle Baird Markham (born in the 1890's) was a Commander in the National Guard and in the 1920's went to I think it was Alabama to keep order because even there Klan activity was at a dramatic rise. My grandmother lived to be 102, and told me a bit about it. He was a Southerner, but enough was enough.
Hey D, pizza is on it's way. TY!! ❤
I’m slightly concerned that this was recommended to me 😬
Mr. Disturban, can you also do a video on Black Wall Street, Lake Lanier or any of the other successful black settlements that were destroyed by hateful racists?
This is so sad 😢 It's shocking how they were allowed to continue

Forrest was arguably the best fighting general of the Civil War. And Benedict Arnold was arguably the best fighting general of the American Revolution. Their misdeeds obviously obscure this.
Most people I've spoken to don't even realize the KKK was birthed here in TN. It's not surprising, given the general climate here. The further from Nashville ypu get, the more backwoods it is. :/
Brave topic seeing as the far right is quite vocal these days. World wide.
Take care, Disturban. Keep safe
Yeah I am kind of blown away by the amount of hollering dogs who got hit by a factual and unbiased history of the KKK.
Time to watch this before YT yoinks this!
Nah, youtube will boost this in the algorithm.
Why would they yoink it?
A person's knowledge of these FACTS depends on where and when you attended school. I was taught this in school. Maybe not quite as detailed, but definitely taught most of this in class. Plus, I am a history freak so I did more research on this topic because of the horrible people they are and my fascination with what makes people so freaking cruel to others. Hate is going to be the destruction of mankind if AI doesn't beat hate to it.
We know what they’ve done but if we could just pinpoint the why?
@janeywelch9983 Money! Power! Control! The main things these monsters thrive on. That's the why. Have you ever been in a history class?
@@Mystic-WTF I definitely agree about hate...and AI. Someone is probably already working on the KKKAI.
@@Mystic-WTF i live near Pulaski Tennessee and it was part of the core curriculum to teach this. I honestly think ppl who claim they werent taught this in school just didnt pay attention or dont live in the US.
@AliciaGuitar Exactly. Thank you for your input. They choose what they want to learn or not learn, as in this case. Take care and have a great day! ✌️🫶✨️🌹🌻
My grandfather who worked for the sheriff in Washington state. Told me stories about how the Sheriff was full of 3k members and was terrorizing and attacking people in the area based on race and or religion using the sheriff office as a tool for terrorizing people.
