My next post is about President Harry Truman (In office from 1945-1953) and the organisation of the KKK. The KKK or the Ku Klux Klan for the people that don't know are a bunch of uneducated hicks that feel the need to have power over others by being racist towards black people. The intelligence of this group is demonstrated heavily by what they call themselves, it takes real genuine idiots to spell clan with a K. So for all the black haters reading, the KKC would have worked fine for your brand because then I would not be able to make this joke about your guys's name. Anyway after serving in the great war Harry Truman came back to Kansas and started a farm. This farm quickly went as broke as a drug addict on the second day of the month. Mr. Truman instead used his family connections and pursued law. He quickly rose to the judge of the Jackson County Court's Eastern District. Now this is where the strange things start happening.The more power this man acquired through the town the more he was influenced to join the KKK by co-workers and friends. In the 1920's there was much more ignorant dimwits in the population then there are in 2016 (this comment excludes Mr.Trump) and the KKK had some power. During those times, this cult had an estimated amount of four to five million members in their ranks. Much of this popularity was due to a film created in 1915 called "The Birth Of A Nation" which temporarily caused a huge resurgence in the Klan's population. A local auto dealer even offered to cover Truman's 10$ registration fee for him. He agreed to those terms and went to a meeting. Harry's tenure did not last long for he quickly came to his senses and left the KKK just after a few meetings. Following his departure the Klan issued threats on his life and his response to those threats were "I dared them to try." It is unknown to this day what changed President Truman's mind on the KKK when at one point he seemed eager to join. Perhaps the white robs weren't flattering to his figure. Well, at least he never had a to pay the 10$ fee because the KKK does give the impression of being the type that gives refunds.
Awesome post Chris! It was very entertaining to read and it made me laugh. I think Mr. Truman made a smart choice when he left the KKK because it is a dangerous organization that is not wise to be a part of. Everything it stands for is just horrible and I do not know how anyone can agree with their beliefs! Keep up the great work! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog chris! I learned a lot. The KKK is a bunch of idiot and I don't understand why anyone would want to be part of the KKK. I don't support them. Does the government do anything about the group. I never knew that a president was a racist and a part of the KKK. THIS IS CRAZYYY!
ReplyDeleteSweet blog Chris! Ton of information about this man's life. It's sad how he went from serving his country by fighting for their independance to becoming an outspoken racist figure. Your description of the KKK was spot on man! It's very ignorant to think one race is better than another.
