The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates there are only between 5,000 and 8,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan in the country. If you were an avid consumer of the legacy media you’d swear there are millions.
To give that perspective, split the difference and go with 6,500 KKK members currently, nothing to sniff at. One racist is two racists too many. But 6,500 in a nation of 330 million is a rounding error, not an epidemic.
Data shows significant progress. In 1920, Klan membership was estimated at 4 million at a time when there were only 106 million people in the country. We’ve gone from a nation with 3.7 percent Klan membership to one with .0019 percent. Yet the left portrays this country as racist to its core.
The average 2016 attendance of a WNBA game was 7,655. That means there were, on average, more than 1,100 more people attending a random game of the country’s least popular professional sport than there are total members of the KKK. If that isn’t progress, what is?
Racism exists, of course. In a nation of 330 million there will always be bad people. But a rounding error is not an epidemic or systemic. That fact scares liberals. As demonstrated by the opportunism of Jarrett, this reality isn’t something our liberal friends celebrate, it’s something they seek to deny. It’s not by accident, it’s by desig
