Just as with Nazi ideology, there really is NO place in a modern, civilised, and enlightened society for such an evil belief system, and there is just no valid reason for any modern, civilised and enlightened society to TOLERATE it or its devotees.
The mere fact that this organisation is still PERMITTED to LAWFULLY exist, is a disgusting insult to the Black community and other races, and all those non-blacks who believe in, and have fought for Racial Equality.
And, while ever it is permitted to exist, demented White Supremacist scum such as David Duke will continue to promote his evil organisation by exploiting the media to gain free publicity.
If a Law is not GOOD law, then it is a Law in need of amending.

I think this is what the hate crime laws were meant to address. Though much of that even generally happens online... which seems difficult to prosecute in the US unless certain motive can be proven... and as we know, very hard to prove motive online, with the stealthiest of trolls.
I'm not sure how these groups still exist... I guess unless the entire org declares war on a protected group, the govt won't act on it... and really what would they accomplish. They can just as easily go silent and seek out the far out vestiges of the internets to make their voices heard... at least we know for sure what they stand for...
