When the KKK reformed and marched in Southern Maine, they weren't burning crosses on the lawn of black people.
They were threatening my grandparents, for being French catholic. They got local governments to force French speaking communities to stop speaking french. My mother learned french as her first language. I did not. I am not fluent.
It's always here, but it always somehow gets turned into a national thing. It shouldn't be hard for americans to understand, but lots of people keep leaving "And it was your supposedly upstanding in society neighbor who put on the hood and claimed you were poisoning the pure blood of the local trailer park" out of the history book.
