I mean the 1920s KKK that had power in government and spread through the United States and into parts of Canada. What caused their downfall?

>Being this stupid
Use your head leaf and maybe you'll get it in time.
superman radio show had a guy join the klan, and report back with their secret rituals. the writers wrote it into the radio show for an ongoing story where superman fights the kkk
turns out, the secret rituals and titles are so retarded that, once they became widely known, people were ashamed to be associated with the klan.
>>69329070
> Organisation literally founded on the right to lynch people
> Has trouble staying long term legitimate
Hmm, I wonder why?

Same goes for the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, etc. It seems cool until you realize it's just a bunch of middle age guys LARPing.
Liberal yids brainwashed their kids.

no u explain like a retard then u call me stupid for not understanding the autism question you wrote
testing
>>69330810
Weren't their titles basically made up just to sound cool/intimidating? And they dressed up as ghosts originally just to frighten people, but it worked so well it became a real outfit.
I think the Klan may have just been a bunch of losers not going anywhere and suddenly they taped into some meme magic and it all went too far

Originally lynching's were just a form of justice done when there wasn't a proper courthouse, and it happened indiscriminate of race. After the Civil War it got associated with being something done to blacks, and it kept that connotation through the Jim Crow era (i.e., the Klan's peak)
>>69331132
>bunch of losers not going anywhere
It was a bunch of normal whites trying to keep niggers from killing and raping everything in sight
they failed in the end
>>69331049
Oh please forgive me leaf, let me dumb it down to your kindergarten reading level then.
How did ze coned shaped head guys lose power after having ze powerz and ze shitz.
Also you are equating the mafia (I assume something akin to the Italian Mafia) to the Ku Klux Klan. Sure, the KKK can be considered a mafia but the mafia still retains some power compared the the KKK which have fallen incredibly low since their height of power in the 1920s. You get the question now dumbass?
making every other member a FBI agent
>>69331216
>After the Civil War it got associated with being something done to blacks
Lynching was done to rapists and murderers
Blacks commit far more rape and murder than whites on average, even today, so it makes sense they got lynched more.
>>69329070
>What caused their downfall?
They tried to double down and turn against Catholic whites and lost power in places like Missouri and Louisiana that have high percentages of Catholic Whites.
Harry Truman was in the KKK but resigned and turned back in his membership card and threw his hat (ha!) in with the Catholic Pendergast Machine which got him elected to the US House .
Didn't the Klansman get disillusioned when it turned out their leaders were jewing them out of their money?

Ok now that I know the region ban isnt currently active
>>69329070
There are good documentaries on it on youtube.
The Klan has gone through three main periods, during the twenties it managed to get large because it was able to capatalise on the nativist sentiment and hostility to foreigners and Catholics. Understandably as that issue simmered down and race became more important it likewise dwindled.
As for the Third Klan is on the money >>69330396 the FBI systematically destroyed it and infiltrated it at the highest levels and blackmailed its leadership. This combined with corruption amoungst its increasingly sectarian leaders and changing mindsets lead to it collapsing after a brief but significant resurgence.
The KKK is a fucking joke. Look at the titles of their leaders the answer is there. Anyone who disagrees is a fucking prick who has no idea of what he's taking about.
>Grand Wizard - national head of the Invisible Empire
>Grand Dragon - ruler over a state known as a "Realm."
>Grand Titan - ruler of a "Dominion" within a state or Congressional District.
>Grand Giant - head of a province or a county.
>Grand Cyclops - president or presiding officer of a meeting or "Den."
>Grand Magi - second officer in authority of the Den.
>Grand Monk - third officer in authority of the Den.
>Grand Turk - the marshal, executive officer to the Grand Cyclops, and master of ceremonies of the Den.
>Grand Sentinel - incharge of the Grand Guards
>Grand Guards also Lictors - guards, usually two, for the Den.
Grow up you white power fuck nuts. And this is a white trash boy talking.
>>69331326
David Duke wasn't in the KKK in 2002
>>69331132
Yeah that Grand Dragons and all kinds of funky and silly titles and rituals. For awhile it was like Freemasonry for hillbillies
>>69331394
The titles were all jokes even back then
Every secret society around the turn of the century had dumb names for things. Just look at Skull and Bones or Freemasons.
The only thing the KKK was serious about was keeping niggers from killing everyone.

their wives were mad for staying out too late

Their entire image was based upon upholding the Constitution and Protestant Values
Halfway through the 1920s the leader got busted for raping a white woman, and their membership dropped from 5 million to 30,000
