When you operate in boldness, it is difficult to take hate groups like the KKK seriously simply because anyone not man or woman enough to show their faces when they spew hate aren’t worthy enough to have anyone’s attention.
The KKK is an organization that has been around for since 1865. The first sentence on their website says, “Welcome to the Ku Klux Klan, Bringing a message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America” (ok try not to laugh).
This white supremacy group has operated under the white sheet of anonymity and have raised their ugly heads, most recently in the state of South Carolina during the process of the removal of the confederate flag from in front of the state house in Columbia, S.C. Though no one knows the real number of members of the Ku Klux Klan of today, many are estimating there are between 5000-8000 active members still living among us, mostly in the southern region of the United States.
Since the drama unfolded with the confederate flag, the online hacktivist/activist group Anonymous has been threatening to expose members of the KKK publicly. Anonymous sent a message to the group early this summer when they shut down the KKK website in order to let them know that they were a target.
Anonymous has officially held firm to their promise to expose 1000 prominent members of the KKK with Operation KKK and an effort they are calling #HoodsOff scheduled for November 5, 2015. Well, Anonymous must have decided to start our week off with a bang because they have already released many of the names a day early. You can find all of the details on Pastebin, right now it includes 57 numbers are 23 email addresses – – CLICK HERE—
The list contains the names of
