Fans react to Lakers Alex Caruso replying about the Ku Klux Klan petition

This has been a stain on America since the 1920s. The only reason I can see that they are still around is they exist in high places. No one will speak out about them. No one cares because they are not threat to them. Can't hide behind hoods forever. The truth will come out!

Because it doesn’t benefit those in power. It would only serve to alienate their supporters.

New York Post's article spoke about numerous online petitions to name the KKK a terrorist organization, which is now being signed by thousands of people amid the protests in the USA against racism and police brutality. The white supremacist group, which has a history of terrorism including murders and assaults, has been around for decades. Fans reacted positively to Caruso's comment, saying that they agree with him.

Caruso was previously on The Morning Show with Keyshawn, LZ and Travis, where he stated that he feels the need to speak. He added that he 'was blessed and fortunate to grow up with that word that everybody talks about, with the privilege'. However, he stated that his parents raised him the right way and he knows 'everybody is created equal and you should treat everybody how you want to be treated'. He also commented on President Donald Trump's photoshoot with the Bible, referring to them as 'staged'. While most people praised Caruso for his comments, some people took Trump's side.
