I'm a researcher on the radical groups of 1950s America, and I've focused in on racial groups like the KKK. What are some of the ideologies the KKK had about Black Americans in the 1950s?

The KKK in the 1950s had extreme ideologies about Black Americans. They promoted the myth of inherent racial differences between the white and black populations, arguing that racial progress required the preservation of white supremacy and the segregation of the races. The KKK further claimed that black Americans, by virtue of biology, were naturally inferior and not fit to share the same political or social spaces with white people. They actively opposed racial integration and fought against the passing of civil rights legislation which would give legal protection to Black Americans. They also organized terroristic acts against civil rights activists and individuals whom they suspected of being sympathizers of civil rights causes.
