Ku Klux Klan (KKK)

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist organization founded in the United States in the late 19th century. It promotes racist, anti-Semitic, and xenophobic beliefs, often using violence and intimidation against minority groups, especially Black Americans. The KKK has historically targeted African Americans, Jews, immigrants, and others they see as threats to their version of racial or cultural purity. While it experienced periods of decline, the KKK has persisted into modern times, continuing to promote hate and segregation through rallies, propaganda, and acts of violence. It is widely condemned for its racist ideology and activities.
