The Grand Wizard of Organization

Ah, the KKK —those fashionably anonymous figures who brought white supremacy to the forefront like it was the latest trend on a runway. One might think that after the civil rights movement, they would hang up their pointy hats and retire to quiet suburban lives. But alas! They merely changed their dress code and rebranded like a bad pizza joint after a health scare.

From Hoods to Heritage

Meet the Heritage Foundation, the KKK’s dapper little brother, trading in the sheets for suits and convincing folks that hate speech is just ‘freedom of expression.’ It’s amazing how a polished business card can make a hate group seem more palatable. Who knew that all it took to ‘clean up’ a hate group is some snazzy marketing strategies?

The Long Game of White Supremacy

In a stunning plot twist, the KKK never really went away; they just went undercover. Much like that annoying relative who shows up to family gatherings in a new outfit, they might be disguised but are still the same people with the same notorious agenda. They’ve simply learned that it’s much easier to sell bigotry repackaged in bowties and well-tailored business suits.

So, next time you hear about an organization spewing hate while masquerading as a defender of values, remember: the KKK didn’t disappear; they just decided to play a game of dress-up!
