A current Ku Klux Klan member David Duke once said, “"White people don't need a law against rape, but if you fill this room up with your normal black bucks, you would, because niggers are basically primitive animals” (ADL) David Duke is a prime example of what people become when they feel superior to another race, which is called white supremacy. White supremacy encourages and one of the main causes to the group Ku Klux Klan. White supremacy bases on fear, nurture, and group acceptance. But the Ku Klux Klan believes they are the better race because of fear (thinkquest.) They have a fear of another race, and might threaten their lack of resources for their own people. Also, they don't understand or do not know the African American people, as a result they feel vulnerable and different. So, because of fear the African Americans, the Ku Klux Klan feels the need to act out against them. Another reason why people created white supremacy is because some are grown that way. Parents who have the idea that they are better because they are white, their children most often will believe the same (thinkquest.) That is not always how it happens but most people pick up traits by the way and things they were taught, typically when young. A further explanation of why white supremacy has started is because people want to feel acceptance. When you cluster yourself with a certain group, you feel apart of something with your “own” people (Tema Okun.) The Ku Klux Klan fell closer having a same opponent. We are all humans in we like to group ourselves (emotionalcompetency.) A member the Ku Klux Klan feels they are wanted and follows the groups ideals which makes them feel even more as one to the group. People also have white supremacy to have a scapegoat and need someone to take the fall. “Some of the very common reasons for racism to arise are fear or the need for a ‘scapegoat’ “(thinkquest.) Scapegoats allow the group to rights and more superiority. People want more power and so if your group you belong to does something wrong, you can blame it on someone else to not lose power. All in all white supremacy is just one more way people create such groups like the KKK. The truth is we may have different believes but we are all human.
