The KKK lynched more white people than black people...
History is too important to ignore, they're 100% slow walking their followers to take the hate and violence past racism and apply it to anyone who doesn't agree with them on everything.
I get why the fascist followers don't understand, but it's legitimately scary so many opposed to fascism haven't spent any time at all learning about how these movements work.
I’m not finding a source for your first claim - do you happen to have any?
The KKK is vehemently anti-everything-not-WASP, but it seems majority lynchings were still against black American citizens.
I can’t find any studies for the KKK specifically, but overall lynchings in the US only had the number of white victims exceed the number of black victims once from 1882-1968:
And based on some quick research it looks like that might be due to lynchings occurring in the Wild West against accused criminals, not based on racial bias. Given the general character of the KKK I wouldn’t expect the number of white victims they lynched to outnumber the black victims, although they did also target white people who worked with black rights organizations.
Never heard of white KKK hangings. Always colored.
You’re really living up to my tag for you: “confidently incorrect”.
