Of course, the fact that you got this from a klan website discredits what you have to say anyway. And really, was the klan so petty that it recorded when it gave $50, and considered it a good thing. Perhaps you should also mention, as many "good things" the klan did from 1920-1921, it also did that many lynchings in a day.

Besides, the original Klan was way better than the 1920's one, I'll agree with you on that one. If it wasn't revived, perhaps we'd hear more of the good things the Klan did back in the 1800's. The original Klan did not support the killing of innocent men, black or white.
More good things the Klan did in 1920:
During this same time period the Atlanta Klan loaned $15,000, interest free, to small tradesmen who needed capital for their businesses. The Klan loaned many more thousands of dollars, free of interest, to small tradesmen across the country.
January, 1921, there was a race riot at Winter Gardens, Fl., the local Klansmen helped to suppress the riot, and members of that Klan stood guard for three days and three nights, protecting lives and property in the Negro quarters.
Feb. 5, 1921, the Mayor of Columbus, Ga., praised the Columbus Klan for its assistance to the police department during an epidemic of burglaries.
In Atlanta, Ga., a mob formed to storm the jail and lynch a Negro charged with an atrocious crime. Col. Simmons happened to be passing and sent Klansmen among the mob to persuade them to disband, which was done. Later when the Negro was taken from the jail to the courthouse, Klansmen stationed along the way prevented any act of violence against the accused.
Nov. 25, the Little Rock, Ar., Klan gave the chief of police $1,000 as reward money for the arrest and conviction of anyone attacking a woman.
Snow is racist. It does not have an equal amount of colored snow as it does white snow. We must find a way to alter nature so that snow becomes colored.
When you decorate your tree for Christmas, you must put at least 24.8% colored bulbs, and they must be placed throughout the tree and not segregated in any matter.
Christmas presents must not be wrapped in white paper.
If Christmas music is to be played, under no circumstances is 'Have a White Christmas' to be Played.
Turkey may be served, but only if there is an equal amount of dark and white meat be served.
You must keep your colored and white dogs in the same room at all times, unsegregated, and they must get along at all times.
