KKK in CO.

Beautiful State. Some ugly groups.

There's good and bad everywhere. Blue states have bigots too. At least you know exactly where the boneheads and skinheads stand. They're not discriminating behind your back.
 
while i am generally not in favor of such, the klan is one of a few organizations that i would not mind seeing getting its ass kicked

i wonder if having a black in the white house has anything to do with the klan's resurgence

While that could have something to do with the resurgence (still odd that no numbers were actually given), my guess is that it has more to do with the rising hispanic population. The 'fear' of the 'minority' gaining ground to the point of whites becoming the statistical minority.
 
not that old, just since the end of the civil war

In the context of what we were discussing they are old. Keep in mind also that there were only about 35-36 states at the end of the civil war. So the klan has a longer history and is older than most states. Including CO... the state we were discussing.

reminds me somewhat of when there was an influx of Chinese to help build the railroad and the 'yellow peril' that followed

Before that it was the Irish etc... there will always be those who project hate onto those that work harder than they do. They 'fear' them because of their own insecurities/weaknesses.
