Obama's contributed far more to popularizing racism than Trump, the alt-right, or the KKK; And I don't just mean against whites. The KKK membership is growing. Is it because they made a compelling case of their ideology to the public? Not really, the left did their work for them. The more you attack people, the more they feel the need to stand up and defend themselves.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to join the KKK. I know the term honey pot is thrown around a lot here but the KKK is filled with FBI agents.

I mean, it's not illegal to join the KKK. I'm no fan of the KKK, but I don't really get your point. Is the point that fear of being put on a list, labeled, or being watched should govern the way you legally associate? You could probably draw parallels about joining this website.

So because the left said that being racist is stupid, more people went and were outwardly racist? Wow, that's a real stupid thing to do.
