ShortHand: The KKK

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

Far and away one of the most deeply evil groups in US history, the Klu Klux Klan are the best-known purveyors of white racism in the United States. 

The OG far-right trolls have been responsible for countless deaths and acts of discrimination, but where did it all begin? And why are they all called grand wizards and grand dragons, like some kind of ultra-racist D&D party? This is the ShortHand.
