Subject: RE: BS: 'Poor Whites' in the Southern States
Rig--

Just read Q's post of 23 Oct 2007 2:28 PM. The KKK had other targets in Western Canada in the 1930's. Reason? There probably weren't many blacks there at the time. If there had been, the KKK would have inveighed against them too, rest assured. But according to the post, the targets were the "foreign-born"--read: anybody different from the KKK members themselves--especially competitors for jobs or the (scarce?) arable land.
