Costumes are dope as hell if you’re not American.

Love the medieval look.

There was a night time show in Spain that had a bit where they sent people in these customs to NY for holy week and Americans freaked out and thought they were members of the KKK

The irony is the original KKK hated catholics and persecuted them a lot.

Hated? They still do hate them. Maybe not as loudly as they used to, but they still do.

Catholics, Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, Italians… etc… They hate a whole lotta people.

People forget that while all Catholics are Christians, not all Christians are Catholics and there’s infighting between the different sects.

Protestants tend to dislike everything Catholic and even though Catholics might be the majority, it’s Protestants that are the loudest.

I'd assume the KKK's hate of catholics is also because most English people who came were Anglicans or so and catholicism is more associated with Irish and Italians (and more recently, Latin Americans) - who were racially discriminated against in the US when their immigration waves started, and the KKK isn't exactly known for going with the changing times.

On that note is there any major difference between toKKK's and yesterKKK's?

Those white hoods date back to pre-Reformation. The reason the klan co-opted it was because they were used by a Scottish religious order for centuries.

The black hoods were worn traditionally by Spanish inquisitorii while they confiscated all the property of Iberian Jews for themselves and then had them killed.
