Which hate group was violent toward Blacks?

• A. Ku Klux Klan
• B. NAACP
• C. SCLC
• D. Black Panthers

Answer: (A)

The group that fits this description is the Ku Klux Klan. It is a white supremacist organization that used terror, violence, and intimidation—lynching, arson, beatings—to oppress Black Americans, especially during Reconstruction and the Jim Crow era. This pattern of targeted violence against Black people is what the question is asking about. The NAACP and SCLC were civil rights organizations advocating for equal rights and nonviolent change, so they are not groups that harmed Black people as part of their mission. The Black Panthers were a Black empowerment group that sometimes used militant tactics in self-defense, but they were not a hate group targeting Black people.
