This racist white supremacist group is widely recognized as a terrorist organization but they have gone underground since the election of Barack Obama. Many are familiar with the common Ku Klux Klan practice of burning crosses. This practice dates back to medieval Europe, specifically Scottish clans, who would light crosses on fire along the hillsides as an act of rebellion against military rivals or as a way to rally the troops. Modern Klan groups always refer to cross burning rituals as “cross lighting” as not to offend Christians. The Ku Klux Klan actually believes that their practice is a fiery representation of their love for Jesus Christ. The very first reported cross burning took place on Thanksgiving Eve in Georgia, the year was 1915. Since the late 1980s, there have been 1700 instances of cross burnings across the United States, many of which were burnt on the lawns of innocent African American families.
