Klansmen were working inside the Florida Department of Corrections. They tormented &murdered many Black inmates. 11:30 a.m. on Mar 19, 2015, the klansmen were celebrating what they thought was a successful murder in Florida. The murder was actually an FBI sting. 4 were arrested.

January 7, 1868, Polanski Tenn. massacre. One of the first KKK massacres. This massacre was due to a white man be angry that a Black man had the same name as his (yes You read that correctly). It led to a small group of KKK members killing a documented 6 Black men (estimated 21)

@Verbatim411 And that is NOT how a Democracy works. As flawed as the Constitution is, it will tell you how wrong this kind of talk is. Gaetz is talking Nazi sht!
