https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1484A Wedding picture one can hang on the wall - Hard to tell who's the priest with all those robes.
"Photographer Peter van Agtmael, on assignment for a European magazine, in 2015, headed to Tennessee and Maryland, where he spent time with some members of todays KKK. His pictures offer us a glimpse into a world that despite having been around for a long time in the United States, is still rarely seen by most Americans."

Old run down homes, old cars and I bet you not one of them even went to junior college and probably not graduated from high school. And don't get me started on the lost teeth and horrible looks. All that hate is evident outside. A reverse Dorian Gray the evil is outside and in.

The scary part is that there are people like this in the United States. Nasty, ugly, bigoted uninformed, uneducated, poor rural people filled with hate.
