The Black Man Who Infiltrated the KKK

[Menelik II]

Meet the secret society that infiltrated Denver's Ku Klux Klan during the height of its power - Denverite

When the Ku Klux Klan was at the height of its power in Denver, one man from Denver’s black community infiltrated the group and tried to blunt the impact of its terror. Dr. Joseph H.P. Westbrook’s light complexion allowed him to pass for white, and at great danger and cost to his personal health, he attended Klan meetings and relayed their plots back to Denver’s black residents.

The Klan, says Gentry, made their presence and power known by igniting crosses on Table Mountain for the whole city to see. At meetings they would plot ways to terrorize Denver’s black community, which was fighting to expand Five Points eastward to High Street.

And that’s where Westbrook comes in. With fair complexion, Westbrook was able to enter Klan meetings without question. “They didn’t know that he was a black man,”
For several years, says Gentry, Westbrook listened in to the group’s plots and relayed information back to his community. This was an extremely risky endeavor and would not have been possible without extreme confidence.

"they didn't know he was a black man" he wasn't. he had black in him, but that doesn't make him a black man. He was a mixed gent that decided to side and show sympathy for his black side.

Seriously bruv I don't know why I have to spell this out in 2017. We are smarter than this by now. This isn't 1967. You can be mixed with black, you can have black in you, blacks can have admixtures too, but being heavily mixed does not constitute being black ffs. An actual black man can never ever pass as being white, just like a white man can never pass as being black.
