Cultural Clash Between Minorities And The Klu Klux Klan

My first cultural clash is between minorities and the Klu Klux Klan. The KKK was a group who preached “One hundred percent americanism”. The KKK had about 4 million members. The KKK was founded in 1915 at Atlanta Georgia for the second time. The founder was William Joseph Simmons.There were three times the KKK rouse up. Some people that were really involved with the KKK were D. W. Griffith and George Gordon. D. W. Griffith was the man who invented hollywood. He as also the creator of The birth of a nation which he is most known for. George Gordon was a confederate veteran who wrote Klans prescript. That is the book that inspired the second clan. Someone that stood up against the KKK were Reinhold Niebuhr. Reinhold Niebuhr was an American theologian,
ethicist, public intellectual, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary. D.C. “The klan had used fear, intimidation and murder to brutally oppress over african americans who sought justice and equality and sought to respond to the young workers of the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the same way.”(Charles B. Rangel) Charles B. Rangel is Charles Bernard "Charlie" Rangel is the U.S. Representative for New York's 13th congressional district. Klansmen bombed activists' homes and black churches, beat up blacks and white opponents and killed them. They would wear all white and burn a latin cross. One impact in today is On 17th May, 2000, the FBI announced that the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing had been carried out by the Ku Klux Klan splinter group, the Cahaba Boys. It was claimed that four men, Robert Chambliss, Herman Cash, Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry had been responsible for the crime. Cash was dead but Blanton and Cherry were arrested.

Cultural Clash I’m doing my second part of the paper on should we build a wall around mexico's border. My stand is no we should not. It’s a stupid idea and there are so many other problems that should be taken care of first. In the primary election we have many candidates who think building a wall is a great idea. Examples are Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and of course Donald Trump. The only candidate that opposes the wall is my favorite candidate Bernie Sanders. There is one candidate who is not clear on her views and it is Hillary Clinton. “As president, I Senator Bernie Sanders will... Oppose tying immigration reform to the building of a border fence. Undocumented workers come to the United States to escape economic hardship and political persecution. Tying reform to unrealistic and unwise border patrol proposals renders the promise illusory for millions seeking legal status."(Bernie Sanders). Some of the pros of building the wall are it would give people a sense of security, the drug problem would go down, plus everyone would have to be legal. Some cons are false sense of security, causing border patrol officers to become complacent, and cause them to hurt people who are only trying to make better lives for themselves and for their families. Plus people who just want to escape. We have it so much better here in the U.S. why deny that to people who are struggling so much. We were once those poor people who were struggling and the people we hurt helped us. The impact today is everyone fighting over whether it should be done or not. Just like the primary election that is one of their biggest topics. This also goes along with immigration problems, and all the illegal people here.
