the KKK are terrorists?

[NOGOODNAME1234]

I was on wikipedia doing what I normally get bored (looking up random words) so after I typed in "pancakes" I typed in the Klu Klux Klan and long behold the history of the KKK so I was bored and read most of it and it turns out they are considered to be a terrorist group I didn't know why so I looked up the defenition of terrorist and the defenition is anybody who uses fear to get what they want or to accomplish an objective so then I thought wouldn't we all be terrorists because we've all used fear to get something from somebody? so throw your opinions in post or die.

America therefore needs to bomb themselves.

[Jesse-Ray]

No, we are not all terrorists.

Fail, by the way.

[ibbolia]

The difference is that the KKK's sole weapon is fear and terror to get what they want. In the same sense, a Nazi is also a terrorist.

[thingie-348]

Terrorist = doing acts to cause terror on people.

O_o

[Lindione]

I have to agree with the dictionary definition since I learned that a terrorist is someone who uses fear to advance their own political goal. Most people use fear for ther own personal goal so not everyone is a terrorist. The KKK is a terrorist group though since I'm sure they would like the laws changed for them.

[NISMOelite]

It may surprise you even more that PETA falls in that definition.

[ReciprocalAnalogy]

Does the power of implication/association overrule the power of basic dictionary definitions?

[KlanMaster911]

What now?

Not the same group, the Philipines group kkk must mean something else cause in the US its a white supremacist terrrorist group that want whites to rule and ensalve the African Americans and other ethnicities. Fortunately here in Puerto Rico there was no kkk because there has been racial unity here since before the the 1900's (that's one of the reasons why we're such a united society, we don't discriminate by ethnicity, nationality, ect.)

[LakeWonder]

they meet at my local center its fuckin scary the police say that as long as they dont hurt anyone which they do its not illegal he said being racist is bad but not illegal my neighborhood is strictly black suburbia i was playing basketball at the court don the hall way when we heard yelling we all looked through the window and saw a black doll with needles in it no ones comes there anymore

[MrFlopz]

I just posted that the KKK are terrorists on another KKK thread. Its true. They use fear and intimidation to force people to give into their demands, and they target innocent civilians for violent attacks. That's pretty much the definition of terrorism.

[Jesus-Owns-X]

The KKK are right for not liking black people, but wrong for killing them for their skin color.

Fair enough, I guess?

[crayolabites]

No one should just hate people because of skin color. There are plenty of black people who are ghetto scum, but there are plenty of white trash scumbags as well, such as the KKK.

[Saint-Jesus]

Well anyone that causes terror could be called a 'terrorist'
