More to the story,,,
NBC 12 spoke to Frank Ancona who is Imperial Wizard of the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He is president of the group distributing the fliers in Chesterfield County. Ancona says KKK membership is up across the country.
"In the last 6 years that I've been president of this organization I've seen the numbers probably triple," said Ancona.
He says members are tasked with recruiting new members.
"We don't hate people because of their race," said Ancona. "We are a Christian organization."
Ancona claims the packets are meant to recruit, and he says they are tools used to "set the record straight."
"Because of the act of a few rogue Klansmen," said Ancona. "All Klansmen are supposed to be murderers, and wanting to lynch Black people, and we're supposed to be terrorists. That's a complete falsehood."
Each neighbor we interviewed said they trashed the KKK fliers.
"The funny thing is the same neighborhoods where you're saying there are people who don't want the flier are neighborhoods where our members live," said Ancona. "And neighborhoods where people are sympathetic to our cause and are glad to hear from us. We get emails from people encouraging us...thanking us for the information."
Ancona says his organization is not a hate group.
"We want to keep our race the White race," said Ancona. "We want to stay White. It's not a hateful thing to want to maintain White Supremacy."
