Another group that is a target of hatred are the blacks. The Ku Klux Klan‚ otherwise known as the KKK‚ possess intense hatred for the black race.

One main reason why I don’t think that reconstruction was successful is because of the amount of racism and prejudice that existed in the nation.

It is never too late to give up our prejudices People have always been and always will be prejudiced. There are prejudices of all kinds. Some have prejudices about skin colour or religion‚ others about nationality or sexuality or something else. And other people are prejudiced about everything that they do not consider normal.
