I noticed that a Florida woman was one of the extremist, and she was the youngest. That does and doesn't surprise me, it would have surprised me if she was from a big city, I am not surprised that she is from either a Florida rural area or exburb.

(31,261 posts)The FBI was trying to infiltrate the KKK. A Black agent applied over the phone and after a while was admitted into the KKK, I don't think they knew that he was Black. A White agent that worked with the Black guy actually attended a meeting where David Duke (then leader of the largest Klan group) spoke.
