It's a message that many have been receiving on their doorsteps in the form of goody bags of candy: "Save the land. Join the Klan." Now residents of Seneca, South Carolina say they are fearful to know that the Ku Klux Klan is in their neighborhood, and recruiting.
Robert Jones, who is considered the "Imperial Klaliff" of the sect, states that the Ku Klux Klan is not a hate group like so many people assume. They are a self-claimed civil rights group simply following the bible. Unless people are doing something wrong morally, Jones claims that the goody bags and attached messages should not bring about shock or fear to the community.
The KKK is known for their violence against minority races, especially those of African American descent. Their latest organizational focus is on illegal immigration, reports Fox Carolina News.
According to NBC News, the Klan is able to use immigration as a solid point in their work in the past, but their membership numbers have been slowly declining since 2008. Despite the drop, there are still over 8,500 members nationally.
