A More Diverse Klan

The white supremacist organisation, 'Ku Klux Klan', infamous for racism and violence, is reportedly rebranding itself and opening its doors – quite surprisingly – to other members of the society such as Jews, Blacks, Hispanics and gays.

The group – known for its notorious activities such as burning crosses, lynching and horrific racist attacks – has now claimed to stand for "a strong America" and not for baseless hatred towards other groups.

The move reportedly comes after John Abarr, a KKK member from Great Falls in Montana, had a discussion with the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NCAAP), although it is not exactly clear what they talked about.

Abarr is a now a reformed man and has started a new group called 'The Rocky Mountain Knights'. Although he hasn't specified how many members the organisation has, he was cited as saying by Georgian TV channel WMAZ that the rebranded outfit will not discriminate against people on the basis of race, religion or sexual orientation.

"The KKK is for a strong America," Abbar said, according to the TV channel.

"White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan," he said, adding: "It thought it was a really good organisation. I don't feel we need to be separate."

Wow.  This seems like something you'd see in The Onion.

The whole thing the Klan stood for was anti-black racism though. How is it still the Klan if it's not racist?

The same way the Roman Catholic church is still the same entity after they give up burning people at the stake. The KKK is a Christian denomination that, like all other denominations, is eventually dragged along by the progress of secular society.
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

Hasn't the KKK had black chapters in the past, though?

From what I understand, the KKK believes it stands for racial segregation.

I once lived in a community so small that the KKK met under one hood.  The leader of the Mafia was a Gypsy. 
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Maybe this branch just likes the idea of being called "Imperial Wizards" and similar titles.

In that case, couldn't they just LARP or something? Or would the costumes require too much thought?
