An 1866 KKK Token

The disdain and contempt I have for all things Nazi and Neo Nazi runs very deep. That being said, the rallying cry of Holocaust survivors is 'Never Forget'. In order to keep that mantra alive it requires certain tasteless and deplorable artifacts to be preserved and painfully displayed. As difficult as it is to see these objects, it is also critical to the remembrance of those who perished at the hands of those disgusting excuses for human beings.

The KKK doesn't like people of my ethnic background, either, in fact one of their songs mentions my ethnic background. The KKK doesn't just dislike African Americans, they hate basically anyone who isn't a WASP. Some of my own relatives were persecuted by them and the Mormons in Utah about 100 years ago.

 

That’s understandable. That quote is a combination of Latin and Gothic.

 

I’m 25% German and I understand and agree completely. In WWII my dad’s outfit liberated some of the prison camps, Dachau being one of them. Some of his tales still chill my bones today.

 

Incidentally there's also a So Called Dollar that was issued in 1922 that I'll link to so you can see how prevalent the KKK was back in the day. No, not all people supported them but they definitely existed and many White Americans turned their heads when the subject of the KKK or America First was used. The comments spoken within this thread are very much appreciated as my race is also one of the ones hated by White Supremist groups. Don't trust people who use the slogan, 'America First' as it's just as divisive today as it always has been!

I liked that you showed it upside down for then the cross is no longer Christian and instead represents evil that the coin belonged to.

 

Not necessarily. The apostles Peter, Philip, and Bartholomew were all crucified upside down, as I'm sure countless others were. But you made your point.

 

Allowing the Photo on Historical event, but closing the thread so there is no escalation. Jim
