5 in KS, but 77 in California. Interesting, but I guess it makes sense. More people and more different cultures/races/etc in California vs a place like Kansas. Reminds of that old dave attel joke something about how he was surprised there was KKK in Alaska. "There's gotta be like one black guy there. The meetings must sound like, 'All right. We've gotta get Eric." Plus, even outside of population, you're also looking at just the number of groups, not the membership, so in a smaller state, they might just be more organized and in fewer pockets.

That's a good point. Its also a matter of how provincial people are. Around here there's a different group for every section of land. SF, East Bay, North Bay, Penninsula, etc etc all have their own groups (not hate group necessarily, but I can see the mentality carrying over) rather than combining to just be the "Norther California" chapter.

I recall either last year or more likely 2012, there were news reports about the KKK leaving fliers at peoples' houses trying to recruit in town. About 20 minutes from where I live. Thankfully I haven't heard anything else about it and nothing apparently materialized.

The map shows 9 in NC, but they don't have the one in Elizabeth City/Weeksville on there. I know there's a local chapter, they occasionally advertise meetings in the local paper. After 2000-2001 they have radically changed (heh) and have held community barbecues and stuff, so maybe they're not considered a hate group anymore (the local chapter, anyway). I'd feel creeped out hanging out with them, but I know they've done some community service stuff around here like helping fix up roofs of poor folks after hurricanes (for free).
I wonder if they saw that Mr. Show sketch and decided to change. (Before you embed it, it's probably not appropriate to post on this forum)

I remember coming across a website for a Scottish KKK before but that was like 10 years ago. Though the original Klan was founded by the descendents of Scottish immigrants...

The 23 in Illinois have to be from the southern/rural parts. I can't imagine a KKK group having the balls to show up somewhere like Englewood. Shit would get real. Same number, and there probably aren't many of them in Greater St. Louis. Obviously not the metro area, lol.

Says 2. But if you go to the site and check, it shows up as two "Neo Nazi" groups. So I guess really 0 KKK
National Socialist Movement Neo-Nazi The Creativity Movement Neo-Nazi
Which makes sense, because this thread made me google to see any info on KKK in my State, and the only stuff I could find were articles about a meeting between a KKK leader and some people from the NAACP. And in the articles, the KKK leader was from Montana, not here.
