KKK Ghost Still Chases Us at Easter
Let’s steal the spotlight from them for good
Many complain about cultural appropriation.
A globalized world is more prone to dilute cultures, but I don’t agree with theft or distortion.
Sometimes we learn new traditions on our travels, or from foreign influence, and we embrace them, like Halloween or Easter eggs.
We always influenced each other. No society can set cultural borders.
But, as we say in Spanish, “I have neither proof nor doubts" that KKK stole their uniform from Spain.
Not only that, in the twisted logic only terrorists have, they stole it from Catholics to kill Catholics (among people of color, Latins, Jews, or immigrants).
As a result, a Spanish 700-year-old tradition has to explain over and over why we use “KKK robes" in Easter.
That’s the worst kind of cultural appropriation.
Learn about the real origin and purpose of their clothing, and why Spanish streets are flooded with them these days.
