    Yes it was.

    Anyway, there's no hard evidence that the KKK was started by Scots although it's likely there were Scots or Americans of Scots descent in the original KKK. There were people of English, Welsh and Irish descent too.

    Interestingly, the KKK had almost died out until DW Griffith's released Birth of a Nation (originally named The Clansman) and it all started up again. Just shows how easily people can be manipulated by movies.

    The clan were set up by 2 men from Tennessee and 2 immigrants from Scotland

    One of their original targets were......Irish immigrants

    So far so rangers

    Recently the KKK dropped their anti Papal stance due to stupid fears of the end of the Christian Faith in its entirety

    Pity the orangemen couldn't be a bit more 19th century too

    A lot of (ignorant) people make the association because of the word klan or clan and it's relationship with the Scottish clans. However, the name ku klux is derived from the Greek Kukloi meaning a circle. The word klan was added later to give it a more rounded name as that of a club to which people could belong.

    There is absolutely no concrete evidence that the KKK was started by Scots.

    Interestingly though, in order to join members were put before the alter and had to repeat the following words:

    O wad some power the giftie gie us
    To see oursels as ithers see us.

    So it was the Greeks who started it then? That would sound about right - they invented homosexuality and destroying the Euro so promoting the burning and hanging of black people would be right up their street ........ And yes it is meant as a joke <ok>

    It was early internet days but following might help you find it

    Daily Record done a special on them after they appeared on Opera waving lion rampants and speaking of their Scottish ancestry....round about 97 or 98 I think

    I distinctly remember one ex pat saying he was scared to put Scottish stickers on his car in the south of the US because people would think he was in the Klan

    I'm sure I read that it was started by a Celtic supporter called Timothy who hated coloured folks as it took oppression away from the Celtic family.
















    See what I did there?

    PS. the Record <laugh>
