The KKK's really not a strictly "Southern" thing. It's a very popular hate group in the Midwest.

^^^ My historically black sorority was founded in 1922 in Indiana - also known as Klandiana at that time.

True, but I'm from Northern Illinois. I had heard stories of them but never actually seen one. We also happened to drive by a "meeting" in a cornfield on the way to the party once. Regardless of your race, that stuff is just creepy.

It seems like that moment should've happened about 75 or 100 years ago.

Or in the Blues Brothers movie.

"Illinois Nazis... I hate Illinois Nazis."

I'm from the Deep South. Lived here my whole life, and I've never (that I know of) actually seen a Klansman either. Definitely never seen a meeting or rally in person - I've heard of them taking place, and seen video footage, but I guess I just keep to the right areas of town or something ... they're definitely around: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp

there are Klansman on the road collecting money to this day like a shriner. Ofcourse they get stuff thrown at them by most but some actually give to them.
