The Baltimore Police Department has long been infiltrated by Ku Klux Klan members. Skeptics who scoff demanding proof should be reminded, by it's very nature a secret society, members of the hate group could live and work alongside you every day and you would never know.
The very name of the Maryland division should serve as a clue: the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
A 20 year veteran black homicide detective, Sgt. Kelvin Sewell, was even forced to view KKK material on a work computer at Baltimore Police headquarters by his white superior. Charles Bealefeld, brother of then Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefed was one of several personnel the department sought to discipline as a result of the incident. Read more here.
On a show originally airing 6 January 2015, Daryl Davis made a shocking claim while being interviewed live by CNN's Don Lemon on CNN Tonight. Davis is the author of the book Klan-Destine Relationships - A Black Man's Odyssey In The Ku Klux Klan.
In the interview Davis reveals a former Grand Dragon of the State of Maryland, Robert White, worked as a Baltimore Police officer in his day job. You can watch the shocking assertion in the attached video below.
This was a major revelation on a national news program. Either Baltimore mainstream media cluelessly missed it (this happens often), or are purposely trying to downplay and ignore it, as if such a crucial bit of historical detail is somehow unimportant.
Read the full transcript of the broadcast here.
It's highly unlikely that such a high ranking klansman like Robert White would be a Baltimore police officer and not have recruited others on or to the job.
A Shadowy Existence
Between secret handshakes and signals, the overall code of discretion and maintaining a low key demeanor, determining who is and isn't a KKK member is a daunting challenge not easily accomplished. The group has been around over 150 years and has perfected blending in. They pride themselves on having members in high places.
Having absolute authority and the ability to control, harass and even use lethal force on people in a city with estimates of an over 70% black population, this is too much temptation for some to resist.
Maryland has a long and storied history of Klan presence, but to this day, a great many of it's residents, black and white, remain in deep denial of this dark chapter of it's history, with activity continuing to this day.
From time to time, little hints of the underlying evil permeating the core of these groups show up in isolated incidents. The lack of a direct link to KKK responsibility, should not lull one into thinking they are no longer present or active. The truth is, this just isn't so.
It'll be interesting to see if the shocking revelation in this video will get any response. Whether there'll be any statements at all from the Baltimore Police Department, the mayor or the city council. My guess is they'd rather soon have you not know about stuff like this having took place, than be forthright and honest.
Also, expect one of two things from the media; continued silence -- a preferred tactic often times -- or taking the story and running with it, as if they were on it all along, and never admitting to having seen it in this space. While it's certainly not an "exclusive," it wouldn't be the first time Baltimore media didn't find a story worth talking about until they heard it being put out by The Baltimore Spectator.
But at least the Baltimore Police Department isn't as bad as a Florida police department with a history of hiring ranking Ku Klux Klan members.
One wonders, just how prevalent are Klan members within our nations police departments anyhow? How many more members of Baltimore Police, past and present are like Robert White, klansmen by night, police officer by day?
