While I and many others believed a series that gave national exposure to a domestic terror organization like the Ku Klux Klan risked normalizing racism, the network insisted that the show was about exposing what it was like to grow up in a culture of hate. To prove that point, A&E told us that producers miraculously found four Klan-affiliated families who were willing to break their anonymity. And in each of those families, they'd found at least one member who wanted to escape the Klan.
