Segregation -- Myth Of The South : A 15 page paper
discussing the myth of white supremacy in the South. The
evil done in the name of race likely was not so much based
in the delusions of white supremacy as in fear that such
attitudes might in fact be groundless. Liberals of all colors
later claimed that members of the black race deserved
ongoing preferential treatment as retribution for 400 years
of oppression, a common phrase in the 1960s that manages
to persist, though far more in the North today than in the
South. The South may well be the most racially tolerant
region of the country. It cannot be denied that the Ku Klux
Klan burned crosses all across the South and terrified black
families for years. It also cannot be denied, however, that
their very methods were in themselves cowardly, reflecting
the fear of the whites for the blacksthe cover of darkness
was not enough; they had to have robes, too. Bibliography

Ku Klux Klan / Historical Change : 10 pages in
length. The
past decade has represented some drastic changes within the
framework of the Ku Klux Klan. In an effort to attract a
larger following, and thus take better control over the issues
of white supremacy, KKK's national director, Thom Robb,
has made some significant alterations to the way in which
the racist group is presented. Such historical changes mark
the organization's need to update its original concepts with
regard to how it relates to the rest of the world. The writer
discusses this historical change as it relates to the Ku Klux
Klan. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Kkkchng.wps
Ku Klux Klan & The NAACP / Comparisons Of Beliefs :
8 pages in length. If there were ever two organizations that
represented the antithesis of each other, they would be the
Ku Klux Klan and the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) symbolizing the
furthest ends of the racial spectrum. The NAACP stands for
the inherent rights of minority groups -- the struggle for civil
and political liberty -- while the KKK is instrumental in
attempting to refuse those rights to any race other than white
Christian supremacists. While one speaks to human
equality, the other maintains that white supremacy is the
only consideration worthy of contemplation. The writer
compares belief systems between the NAACP and the Ku
Klux Klan. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Kkknaacp.wps
