KKK at Santo Domingo Carnival in Dominican Republic
The KKK public parades are meant to intimidate Africans and remind them who is in control, realized that they remained vulnerable and that they (the KKK) are having their way in time. So this parade did not come as a surprise in the as it is a common knowledge that people of Dominican Republic and its Government have cultivated a bigot attitude towards people of Haiti based on the fact that most Haitians have generally dark skin tone compared to Dominicans whose African heritage has been mixed with Spanish Europeans. The Dominican Republic has made news for racial issues recently based on a Supreme Court ruling that the elimination of birthright citizenship is to be applied retroactively, jeopardizing the legal status of thousands of Haitian immigrants and their Dominican-born children — the vast majority of whom are Africans with dark in complexion. Human rights groups estimate the ruling could strip more than 200,000 people of citizenship.
The KKK is the leading openly organized threat to African peaceful existence and development. And they are not slowing down The number of cases of incidences where the Klan sabotaged African development can only be called a reign of terror for over 160 years. Thousands Africans families destroyed, thousands more were killed, injured or driven from their homes or suffered property damage as buildings were burned and farm animals destroyed. During the Reconstruction period in the South, African politicians who tried to further the cause of the Republican were killed, beaten and deposed with impunity. The Greensboro massacre occurred on November 3, 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. Five protest marchers were shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party at a rally organized by communists intended to demonstrate radical, even violent, opposition to the Klan.[1] The "Death to the Klan March" and protest was the culmination of attempts by the Communist Workers' Party to organize mostly black industrial workers in the area. May 31st, 1921 marks "one of the most devastating massacres in the history of US race relations“ when as many as 300 African Americans lost their lives and more than 9,000 were left homeless when the small town of Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma, (aka "Black Wall Street"), home to many prominent black businessmen was attacked, looted and literally burned to the ground. Despite efforts to control the violence, lynching in the South remained common throughout the 19th and into the 20th century. This pattern persists till today in small scales randomized around the world and can be associated with the mass incarceration and brutality of Africans by the law enforcement. While time has changed, this thinking has not changed much unfortunately. Books such as the Bell Curve accounted for an example of unconscious racists attempt to understand the situation; People like Bill Gates with all their good intention of selective altruism towards Africa or elsewhere is bent on reducing world population at all costs for the fear that there won’t be enough food or resources for available. These are the same principles upon which white supremacy and racism was built. It is almost like a going trend, the racial discrimination against Africans is becoming more popular and wide spread around the world. Russia, Germany, Spain, India, Italy, Thailand, South Korea, China, Greece, Dominican Republic, South Africa, and the United States of America have all seen increased in racial violence against people of African descent. Incidentally, all of these listed countries benefit directly from African economy.
