<p>KKK Imperial Wizard, Frank Ancona posted this message on the Traditionalist American Knights website. <strong><br />
</strong>&#8216;They [media] will tell you The KKK is dead, gone, irrelevant. They have tried since the birth of the Klan to downplay the influence and power of the KKK. They also will try to portray us as haters, ignorant. They will ignore the facts. Let me tell you they are the haters. They have engaged in a campaign to destroy our Race, culture, and heritage. They are communist, socialists, and haters of freedom &#8230;..<br />
Our mission is to preserve our White culture and heritage but also be relevant to the happenings going on in our Republic today. We must defeat these communist socialist anti-God anti-white anti american enemies within our own borders&#8230;&#8217;</p>
