Race hating? That’s the old Klan.

The new Klan is all about inclusion and diversity, according to John Abarr, a Montana Klansman who told the Great Falls Tribune that the KKK’s white supremacist ways, at least in Montana, are a thing of the past.

“The KKK is for a strong America,” Abarr told the newspaper. “White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan.”

And he is serious. How serious? So serious that last year he held a summit that included members of the NAACP, according to the Tribune. The new Klan’s mission won’t be race-based but, rather, will be against big government and keeping Capitol Hill from establishing a “new world order,” according to Abarr.

“If John Abarr was actually reformed, he could drop the label of the KKK,” Rachel Carroll-Rivas of the Montana Human Rights Network told the Tribune. “They know that their beliefs aren’t popular, so they try to appear moderate. I think it’s just a farce. Our mission for the last 24 years has been to shine a light on hatred.”
