Today, I was in class and we were talking about racism and how we thought that racism begun. But, that’s not what I want to blog about. When we were learning about it we started talking about “The Ku Klux Klan” (The KKK). For those of you who don’t know what the KKK is, it’s a racist group of people (I think there based in America) who are against Black people, Jewish people and a lot of other minority groups.
I’d heard of the KKK before tha lesson, but I don’t know, I’d never really thought about it for what it is. I am increadably intrested in that sort of thing (not rasisum, but those sorts of groups) so I decided to do a bit of research on google when I got home.
I didn’t find much, just a definition on Wikipedia and that sort of thing. But I have some things to say about the KKK.
First, those of you who have heard of the KKK, you’ll know they wear big white hoods over there faces so you can’t see who they are. For a group that are apparently “proud” of what they belive, why are they not “proud” enough to show their faces?
Also, has anyone seen Scary Movie 3? If not, in that movie this guy is rapping in a club that’s full of Black people it’s basically taking the mick out of 8 Mile (if you’ve seen that movie). Anyway, after he’s finished rapping they’re all clapping him and then he puts his hood up and it’s just like the sorts of hoods the KKK wear. What? I’m sorry, but I don’t find that funny (and I do find the sort of Scary Movie jokes funny). I just think that one was a bit too sick…what do you think?
