The KKK Is Planning A Trump Victory Parade, So That's Terrifying

The Ku Klux Klan is going to have a victory party for Donald Trump.

The Loyal White Knights of Pelham, North Carolina (one of the biggest Ku Klux Klan organizations in the nation), said on their website they will be holding a parade for Trump on December 3, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The website for the Loyal White Knights reads,

TRUMP = TRUMP'S RACE UNITED MY PEOPLE

Trump began his campaign for the presidency with racism, specifically against Mexicans. Over the course of the campaign, he attacked Muslims and used anti-Semitic memes and rhetoric.

Trump also has been playing into alt-right language, which is generally recognized as white nationalist racism.

Matthew Heimbach, a leader in the alt-right community, told the Huffington Post,

If they're ready to vote for Trump, they can't be too far away from being ready to support a real nationalist party.

Since Trump won the presidential election on Tuesday night, a series of racist and sexist actions have happened across the country.
