Ku Klux... a(las) Californios

The guilds from the town of Cartagena, Spain. Marrajos (/Las Californios) - An orthodox catholic, non-violent type, who hold a ritual procession on Good Friday (just before Easter).

Now moving to the infamous (KK)Klan - could the traditional dress code of a guild be more exploited? it is saddening to see. Easily, the Marrajos may be mistaken for the KKK; apt instance of infamy conquering the noble.

I don't think the KKK actually think they are exploiting the orthodox monks. Members of the KKK trace their identity and ideology from the Knights Templar. They think they are doing God's work on this earth. They actually think they walk with the truth. They do not think themselves as infamous; they literally they wear the robes of the just.

I think we make a huge mistake when we suppose our enemies view themselves as we do.

I wasn't sure the people of that God were allowed to oppress Blacks, Catholics, Homosexuals... (the list goes on)... in advocating white supremacy, should we allocate separate holy grains to feed their appetites?
