Happy New Year Sister! ...
The kkk is synonymous with white supremacy.
The kkk is (historically) synonymous with the government of this country.
It was the law makers, suits, and such that fully supported the enslaving, killing, etc., of our people.
The court system is the kkk and white supremacy too - disproportionate prison terms(?).
The kkk is the police! Historically, they were the police and little has changed.
I do agree that they are now presenting themselves ... white supremacy ... in so many different ways.
No longer is it just the sheet over their head, they too had to move along with the times.
It's everywhere ... in most all things ... so watch as well as pray ... even the green cartoon thing ... remember that?
Shoot ... white supremacy can present itself as a black person ... stealing from their own people.
White supremacy unfortunately has even some of us working on its behalf.
It is ingrained within the very core of this society and perhaps all societies world-wide.
Pointing directly at it is like pointing at the gas in the house condemned for gaseous odors.
The house is condemned for sure ... but you may never see the white supremacy.
They are good at this business ... white supremacy ... as they've had lots of time to practice it.
To answer your question ...
... that is why people would be afraid of them.
They have the backing of the government. They are the police. They can lock you up.
They can shoot you in the back, in the middle of the street, with cameras watching.
They have a notorious history of being the government, police, and kkk ... all in one.
The Crips and Bloods can only hurt their own selves and communities ... they cannot be judge, jury, and executioner of other races with the government's blessing ... like the kkk can.
Love You!
