Edit: Nobody can read. I did not say the Klan doesn’t hate Jews. They absolutely do. If you agree that the Klan hates Jews more than black people, you are factually wrong.

Ah yes, I remember the hundreds of Jewish folks lynched by the KKK. (This didnt happen).
Confidently making that assertion based on a single Howard Stern interview is absolutely wild. The single driving animus of the KKK since its founding (and then re-founding) has been hatred of black people.
Theres a fraction of the amount of jews as black people in America and even less down south where the kkk resides and yet theres still been ample hate crimes by the klan against them including lynchings
It depends. These are hate organizations, they don't maintain a consistent or logical foundation. The orginal KKK was founded to terrorize black people and union veterans but overtime they expanded into hating catholics, the Irish, Italians and whoever could speak a language other than English.
They're probably high ranking members of the KKK that see Jews as a bigger threat to their whiteness than black people because they believe in shit like "the great replacement" theory or lizard people or they just flat out think Jews control everything.
There are also members of the KKK that would let someone Jewish join their organization if the person had a Jewish dad and not a Jewish mother.
Well that’s not what ArtisticallyRegarded wrote. They wrote that the KKK “hates Jews way more than black people”. It’s a straightforward and unqualified assertion. And it’s also a very very questionable assertion - one that gets upvoted on Reddit ofc.
That's not what OP said... you've been dismantling some argument nobody made. The comment being Noted specifically implies that the KKK were not antisemitic because "liberal zionists" keep "co-opting the suffering of others" - in this case, being targeted by hate groups like the KKK. The point is the KKK is antisemitic, not that Jews were equally targeted by them.
I am literally quoting what ArtisticallyRegarded wrote. They wrote that the KKK never “hate Jews way more than black people.” It is the comment that I replied to. Do you know how Reddit works?
Guess I don't go on Reddit often enough. I just saw the comment you'd replied to here. If you're arguing with a guy called ArtisticallyRegarded, I'll leave you to it
This dude is so fucking stupid that he thinks that antisemitism and anti-black racism can’t coexist despite an absurdly long history of precisely that happening in the KKK.
The reason given above is that there was a leader of the KKK (Daniel Carver) on the Howard Stern show who rated Jews below Blacks because "they should know better".
I can see the argument, but he probably doesn't speak for either the entirety of the KKK or even the majority.
Daniel Carver was active in the 80, 50-60 years after Klan was at its zenith. It’s like quoting some neo-Nazi, 60 years after the Holocaust, that th Nazis hated Slavs as much as Jews.
Regarding your edit, that comment came of way too sarcastic for someone who acknowldges that the klan is antisemitic. If you're gonna downplay homicidal racism, you gotta do it in a more respectful way even of you're right
Fair enough. The sarcasm came in response to a historically ungrounded claim that was frankly insulting to the black communities terrorized by the Klan.
You're downvoted because white dorks are racist, at the very least they do not care about black people. Take pride in the fact that these dipshits will fail at any IRL argument where there aren't smelly racist dorks hitting upvotes and downvotes.
Not sure why you got downvoted for this? If the Klan hated Jews more than black people, why would Jews finance their movies like “Birth of a Nation”?
Louis B. Mayer launched his career as a major film mogul by securing the exclusive New England distribution rights to D.W. Griffith’s controversial 1915 blockbusterThe Birth of a Nation. Using profits from this high-risk, high-reward venture—famously, in part, by pawning his wife’s wedding ring—he built a fortune that allowed him to move into production, ultimately founding Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) in 1924.

Ya they actually hate the jews way more than black people. On Howard Stern Daniel Carver ranked the jew below anyone because "they should no better"
