MOVING BACKWARD

a Ku Klux Klan Meeting [|photo link]

There are many organizations and political groups that severely limit America's ability to move and work towards being a free country where everybody is considered and treated equally. Groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the White Aryan Resistance who use violence as a means to promote their racist agenda end up in no way benefitting America as a whole.

These militant religious and political groups stand behind dated laws supporting slavery and discrimination, as well as slanted interpretations of the Bible in order to gain support and approval for their beliefs. These small groups misreprestent the country's values and history in some of the worst ways possible. the Ku Klux Klan was notorious for lynching crimes and yet nothing was ever really done in response to it.

In more recent times, nationalist groups such as WAR (White Aryan Resistance) have formed that do not openly promote or condone violence, yet violence is strongly suggested through many of Tom Metzger's speeches and through the songs of Ian Stuart of Skrewdriver. WAR activists like Metzger and Stuart, are few of the many people who cannot accept the integration of all races, religious groups, and ethnicities in America. For me, this is a clear example that there are still people within the country that remain very hard headed and completely reluctant to change of any sort.
