Ku Klux Klan – A story of racism, violence and hatred | DW Documentary
Three letters that are synonymous with racism, violence and hatred: KKK. This is the abbreviation for the Ku Klux Klan. The terrorist organization has been active in the USA for over 150 years, especially in the rural areas of the South.
Once founded as a racist secret society to oppress the black population of the USA, the movement has split into many splinter groups over the course of its history. At times, these were almost inactive. But since 2016, when President Donald Trump was elected, the Ku Klux Klan has seen a resurgence.
The film reconstructs the history of the movement and talks to former judges and FBI agents who tried to fight the organization. A KKK dropout also weighs in. This film charts the development of the most notorious racist criminal organization in the United States.

The background music is too loud, it's hard to hear anything else.
They can be stupid. But not bad people.
A gross miscarriage of justice time and time again.
We are all racists in our own ways.
And Republicans support them
Scarcity of resources…
Sounds levels are all off….
This would’ve been deemed a suppression of freedom of speech and belief system by the western media and politicians if it had happened in a non western country.
Definitely fueled by Trump, MTG Gaetz etc. The language and behaviour of those in power and their donors is bringing disgrace on the US.
Nothing is funnier then the war to keep racist monuments
Lee fought to preserve the institution of slavery, but one letter written after the Civil War in 1866, addressed to Gen. Thomas L. Rosser shows Lee opposed the erection of Confederate monuments, symbols he said would keep division alive
very interesting
More of a Propaganda piece than facts
This was a byproduct of the Northern elite and colonization. There's a book Ebony and Ivy that breaks it down really well. There's a reason the majority of the Black Lives Matter events happened north of the Mason-Dixon Line, a lot of people in the South actually grew beyond the racism. The new resurgence is mostly new and the natural result of modern society pushing everything into identity politics. There's not enough messages of unity among humans, each group is pushed into some kind of prison gang that doesn't actually look out for each other.
Clowns
We shouldn't hate each other. At the end we all are human living in 21 century.
I believe Cyberopolis token will go 100x after launch on Binance
My top picks for bull run are DOT, FIL, and SOL. And best ICO to invest is Cyberopolis, huge potential.
Just got a tip about Cyberopolis – this token is going places!
Clearing out all my Alts going into BTC and Cyberopolis only, maybe a little BNB and SOL
Dude, you need to get Cyberopolis NOW!
Anyone looking into cyberopolis? I keep hearing so much about them lately
In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Cyberopolis's CYBER
Do you think Cyberopolis will pump before XRP?
what a Sshow the US
DW must be right because they used scary music.
Why does feel like a well timed attack on Trump? 😏
The backing music is way too loud in this edit 😢 the content is dramatic and striking enough already
Fear of another human being caused by wilful ignorance is very corrosive to human morality.
BROWN MAGA TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
So many people whining about the soundtrack. Go start your own channel.
great documentry highlights the real threat to the free world.
Gotta love the democrat party, and a German network documentary 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What, MAGA….
MAGA, far-right, like a China and Russia
"We want our country back" is pretty funny thing to hear since it was not your country to begin with.
another great one from DW! but the background music is too loud and sometimes cant hear the audio that clearly.
Dave Chapelle Clayton Bigsby! 😂
See… I just don't like the hyprocricy of people.
Let's see how many American knows the definition of racism since it looks like they only see racism is for one particular race.
High volume of music playing while there is dialog makes this very hard to watch.
Documentary on islamic conquest would be a timely doco. This is just more bs. Aboriginal Australian
make sure you don't ARRIVE IN AFRICA IF YOU ARE A MEMBER
Another tragic story of social evolution. Ego (+guns) , money (+ guns) , delusion (+ guns) , power (+ guns) , greed (+guns) = today + guns. How many stupid movies have we sat through lately where two skin colours some how end up having to help each other and become ‘timid but grateful friends’ 😂. With all the dramatic music !! and guns of course.
These people are better than Indian high caste racists who practice untouchability.
The music makes it unwatchable
51:19 Why not reveal the scams inside BLM?
These people are burning with hatred in their hearts.
Dw, please do a documentary about untouchability in India. And caste discrimination.
