Time to Join the KKK

[Stoney Mason]

One of Montana's most well-known white supremacists is recruiting members for a new Ku Klux Klan, one which he said will be all-inclusive and shows he no longer holds supremacist views.

John Abarr of Great Falls claims he is a reformed man, which is why he's started a new KKK group called the Rocky Mountain Knights. Though he won't say exactly how many members this new KKK group has, the organization will not discriminate against people because of race, religion or sexual orientation.

"The KKK is for a strong America," Abarr said. "White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan."

Though he's long been involved in white supremacy organizations growing up in Wyoming and Montana, Abarr claims his opinions have slowly evolved. Last year he met with members of the NAACP in Casper, Wyo. It has inspired him to organize a peace summit with the NAACP and other religious groups in the summer of 2015.

"I thought it was a really good organization," Abarr told the NAACP. "I don't feel we need to be separate."

But officials at the Montana Human Rights Network are suspicious about Abarr's latest move. Rachel Carroll-Rivas, co-director of MHRN, said Abarr doesn't need to use the KKK to form a more inclusive organization.

"If John Abarr was actually reformed, he could drop the label of the KKK," she said.

Abarr said his chapter of the KKK is a fraternal organization seeking members who want to fight against a "new world order" or a one-world government, which he is afraid the federal government is trying to achieve.

Members who join still would be required to wear the robes and hoods and participate in the secret rituals, but Abarr said the Rocky Mountain Knights will be an open and non-discriminatory group.

He also said he is not the person behind the United Klans of America mailer that was delivered to homes in a Native American community in Havre earlier this year.

Jimmy Simmons, one of the NAACP representatives who met with Abarr last year, believes he probably is trying to reform. If Abarr holds a peace summit next summer, Simmons said he would "take a strong look" at joining.

He supports Abarr trying to create an all-inclusive fraternal organizations — to a certain extent.

"The use of the letters KKK instills fear in people," Simmons said.

Abarr's latest actions have enraged the United Klans of America, according to Bradley Jenkins, imperial wizard for the organization. He agrees with the Montana Human Rights Network that Abarr should not be using the KKK title for his new organization — but for completely different reasons.

"That man's going against everything the bylaws of the constitution of the KKK say," Jenkins said. "He's trying to hide behind the KKK to further his political career."

Abarr just hopes people will give him a chance. If they get to know him, he said people will see his views have changed and he's ready to form a different KKK. He claims to have members from Billings, Havre, Great Falls and parts of western Montana joining the Rocky Mountain Knights. If anyone wants to join his organization, they just need to be 18 and live in the Pacific Northwest.

Carroll-Rivas said even with Abarr adapting a more tolerant viewpoint, she's still suspicious about the 'new world order' statement, which she said has roots in anti-Semitism. MHRN was formed in the late 1980s in responses to white supremacy groups popping up in Montana. Carroll-Rivas said Abarr's name and the history of organizations he has belonged to are well-known to her organization.

"They know that their beliefs aren't popular, so they try to appear moderate. I think it's just a farce," she said. "Our mission for the last 24 years has been to shine a light on hatred."

I know a dude who's a part of them. He was friendly at first then I noticed his swastika tattoo, he said he's not racist he's just about "preserving the white race" for his white brothers

Have neither talked to nor seen the dude in like 2 years now. Live in a dorm full of weirdos, brehs.

i've never managed to come across one, despite often attracting weirdo racists wherever I go. did see a lot of militia decals whenever I'd go to glacier

Howell, Michigan is one of the old KKK capitol of the midwest. I went there for a basketball tournament in HS. My mom didn't want me to go but it was a Christian bball league so my dad was like meh whatever. I could tell pretty quickly that the Howell team wasn't happy about me and the 2 other black guys on the team. We won pretty easily, and afterwards I was outside the gym waiting for the bus when I heard someone say "distinguished black fellow what are you doing up so late?" I looked around, saw some busted up looking cac, and went about my business.

Howell's totally got that pathetic, we gotta cling to some racism it's our heritage thing going on, but we're also ashamed so don't mention it, here would you like a racial slur on the way out?
