Literally anything the KKK does is form of terrorism and causes fright.

Vile, yes. Terror, no.

People just want to stick the word 'terror' on anything they deem despicable nowadays. It's one of the quintessential terms for creating an "us vs them" mentality. I understand why people want to demonize them, but do it the right way.
You cant be serious right?

Terrorism by definition is, the use of intentionally indiscriminated violence in order to achieve a political, religious or IDEOLOGICAL aim.

A Terrorist group is a organization of people who use crimes to reach their goals.

Now tell me how this does NOT point towards the KKK?
The KKK lynched more than 3000 black people...how is this not mass murder?
They killed, burned, blew up things, kidnapped, they spew hateful speeches, sell drugs etc.

The KKK is a group of white terrorists, it needs to be exposed and fought...just like the IS and other terrorist groups.

Yeah, the KKK were pretty much the original terrorists.

No one remembers them as such because it was probably their grandfathers and great-grandfathers taking part, and gosh, they can't be terrorists!

But their tactics are pure terrorism.
