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

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 blacks—the cover of darkness was not
enough; they had to have robes, too. Bibliography lists 14
