Hmm, not really the same as being a democrat, republican or liberal. I don't think republicans lynch democrats or hang liberals (not literally at least).

Being a member of a racist group when you're in a position of authority is not a good thing in my mind. Would you want to be black, Hispanic, whatever on that guys cell block? Even if he seemed fair, you'd always be wondering.

Comparing the KKK and racism to political or religious beliefs would be like finding out a doctor at the local hospital is a Nazi, but it's ok because it's just a political belief (would you want to be a jew with a Nazi for a doctor) or a teacher at school is a pedophile and having him compare it to a religious belief. It's just not the same.

Nah, it's a free country, you can be a member of the KKK if you want (yeah, sickening isn't it), but you can't work in certain jobs.
