Law and Order: The Klan and the Mythical America of Donald Trump

"'The Klan is for the white race; blacks do not have the same IQ as whites, and the Klan is for family and it believes in law and order. The Klan is for America first.

To make the argument is to betray a stunning contempt for the intelligence — and memory — of black voters."
