The Black Ku Klux Klan

The Black Ku Klux Klan  seemed like a contradiction when they came into Arizona int he 1950s, though the heat they provoked was instantaneous. I have no idea who hid under the hoods. Though their tag team name didn't seem to make much sense, they rose quickly in the ranks, especially when fighting ethnic opponents.

They wore black hoods rather than Klan garb. They spoke with heavy southern accents. They claimed to be the best team on either side of the Mason/Dixon line.

What is presented here was about the only data I could find on them.

One thing, hwoever, is a tad disturbing.

Historically, there was supposed to ahve been a real "Black Ku Klux Klan" down south, though not commonly known in most cycles The Black KKK consisted of ultraviolet Klansmen kicked out of the official Klan, who pursued violence to the extreme.

How did this pair knew this?

One fidns some documentatuion fot hsi apior working in the Pacific Northwest and in Arizona/New Mexico, but thats eems like the end of it.

One must assume other  offices found the routine too risque or too offensive, leaving the duo to unmask and work under different names.
