The Tuskegee Institute has recorded 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites being lynched between 1882 and 1968, with the annual peak occurring in the 1890s, at a time of economic stress in the South and political suppression of blacks.A five-year study published in 2015 by the Equal Justice Initiative found that nearly 3,959 black men, women, and children were lynched in the twelve Southern states between 1877 and 1950.

If they recognize the KKK as such, they sure better put BLM and the "New Black Panther Party" on that list as well.

It's because the KKK, while being a well-recognized hate group, is not a terrorist organization.
The term 'terrorist' or 'terrorism' is too broad of a term that has become more widely used in a political context, rather than a term used to describe a group that actually strives to terrorize people.

This I didn't know, I had always had the assumption that they were, until I came across a petition to have the U.S government formally recognizing them as such, I am usually pretty ok on stuff like this but some how it flew over my head.

This with all the calling for Black Lives Matter people or org, to be labeled a terrorist org, when as far as I know they have not done anything beyond being obnoxious at their extreme, but an Org that killed.

The 911 attacks that caused us to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan with the initial death of 2,996 people, and 6000 wounded which in turn saw the rise of ISIS and our involvement in places like Syria, in no way warrant the official term terrorist org??
TBH I don't really care , I already have my low opinion of them, due to their history but I was just surprised at my ignorance.
