I understands that it sounds strange, and it’s probably wrong to frame it as “criticism,” but that’s the way it was framed in the interview. This was done as part of a very positive and complementary biography of Mr. Davis.

What ultimately broke the back of the Klan as an organization was the DOJ who went after them specifically, the transformation of their organization in the common American perception as being anti-American rather than as patriots, and the fines applied to both the organizations and individuals that made it impossible for them to continue as organizations. I’m all for anything that gets people to hang up their hoods, and honestly I love when justice can be done by reforming people, but there’s a reason you go after Nazis with artillery and organizations like the Klan with ones like the NAACP and ADL.
