The Democrat KKK is alive in many forms and goes by many names. I certainly don't consider them patriots or decent people. Remember kids, Democrats founded the KKK in 1865. By 1871, it as so violent, there were congressional hearings about it and it was eventually banned. Then reformed in the 1920s... by Democrats again.
When the KKK got violent again, and squeezed again, the Democrats moved to a new tactic: Create a welfare plantation for blacks to keep them down, and it's done great so far. Blacks can't stop voting for the welfare plantation.
Notice that job or social programs by Democrats never include job training. If you get job training, you can lift yourself up. Democrats don't want that for minorities. They want minorities kept down and under control, and voting Democrat if the minorities want more free cash.
