That's correct. America's most well known white supremacist organisation is for the first time opening its doors to Jewish, black and Hispanic people. 

John Abarr, a KKK leader from Montana, is founding a new branch of the KKK called the Rocky Mountain Knights which would encourage more diversity.

The requirements for prospective members of the new Klan are that you are 18, and live in the Pacific Northwest. Oh, and they will still have to wear the white hoods...

"The KKK is for a strong America," Abarr told The Great Falls Tribune. "White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan."

Last year Abarr met with members of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and is planning a summit of the groups next year.

Whilst Abarr might claim to be a reformed man, starting a group for all races associated with an extremist white supremacist sect responsible for lynchings doesn't seem to make sense.

People are obviously skeptical. A quick look at the original Klan manifesto and creed shows their ideas are pretty set in stone:

"We avow the distinction between the races of mankind decreed by the Creator, and we shall ever true to the maintenance of White Supremacy and strenuously oppose any compromise thereof."

We await the KKK NAACP conference with baited breath.
