GOOSE CREEK, S.C.–Homeowners of one Goose Creek subdivision woke up to more than just the Sunday paper in their driveway.

Some told The Berkeley Observer they also woke up to recruitment flyers allegedly from the Loyal White Knights of the KKK.

We’re told they were found in the Friars Grove subdivision off of Gainesborough Drive.

“Take a stand, save our land. Join the Klan,” the flyer reads. “Tired of drug filled streets? Tired of rampant crime? Tired of illegal immigration taking jobs from hard-working Americans? Tired of your constitutional rights being taken away?”

Homeowners tell us candy was also attached to the flyer.

Founded in 1865, the organization has a long history of violence mainly targeted at African-Americans, Jews, Catholics, immigrants and members of the LGBT community.

The KKK’s website states that the organization’s primary goal is to “stop White genocide.” They write, “We simply believe that the United States of America was founded as a white Christian nation.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which monitors hate groups estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 active KKK members in the United States.
