Members of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana have been handing out applications, and on them, they are asking for applicants to provide their blood type.

According to Newsweek, residents in Indiana have reported seeing tons of KKK application fliers posted outside of their homes. Reports show the applications were coming from the Church of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The racist organization claims the fliers were religious materials; however, applications were advertising for new membership were attached.

The KKK reportedly asked applicants to provide their race, blood type and home address on the forms. They also asked that applicants only submit a form if they are white and not Jewish. Applicants must also be in support of the segregation of all races, the news outlet reports.

While the KKK has a history of raping, brutalizing, and terrorizing communities of color, their application said their intentions are not to “threaten anyone.” The applications were posted in people’s driveways in a St. Joseph neighborhood in Indiana.

“I’ve lived here my entire life, almost 30 years, and I’ve never had someone personally talk to me about the KKK other than in school. So, for it to be first-hand in my driveway… it’s scary,” said St. Joseph resident Taylor Roberts, who said he received a flier from the KKK.

He told WSBT about the KKK’s history in the state. “Indiana is already known to be for Ku Klux Klan. Only people know about it in history books, so having it firsthand in your driveway—it needs to be done,” said Roberts. “I think it’s everything—mad, sad, frustrated. I’m worried because I have three kids of my own, and I don’t want them around this kind of experience.”

“American Idol” finalist Caleb Kennedy has left the show after an alleged Ku Klux Klan video surfaced.

Kennedy’s exit from the competition show comes after a Kennedy was seen standing next to someone wearing a KKK hood in a video. On Wednesday, the 16-year-old singer announced he would be leaving the show over the incident.

“Hey y’all, this is gonna be a bit of a surprise, but I am no longer gonna be on American Idol. There was a video that surfaced on the internet, and it displayed actions that were not meant to be taken in that way. I was younger and did not think about the actions, but that’s not an excuse,” Kennedy wrote in a statement on Instagram.

He continued: “I wanna say sorry to all my fans and everyone who I have let down. I’ll be taking a little time off social media to better myself, but saying that, I know this has hurt and disappointed a lot of people and made people lose respect for me. I’m so sorry!”

Lastly, he said that he would “pray that one day he will regain the public’s trust and thanked viewers for their support.” His mother also spoke out about her son’s departure.

“I hate that this has happened and how Caleb is being portrayed by people online,” Anita Guy told MSN. “This video was taken after Caleb had watched the movie The Strangers: Prey at Night, and they were imitating those characters. It had nothing to do with the Ku Klux Klan, but I know that’s how it looks. Caleb doesn’t have a racist bone in his body. He loves everyone and has friends of all races.”

Flyers promoting the Ku Klux Klan were seen posted in Huntington Beach, California.

According to NBC Los Angeles, the flyers posted around the beach come just one week before “white lives matter” marches are expected to happen around the nation, according to the Orange County Register.

The outlet reports that the flyers have been seen throughout the community. One flyer, in particular, was seen on the south end of 19th street. A resident contacted the police about it at 7.am. on Sunday morning, Huntington Beach Lt. Mendez told the outlet. The flyers feature a drawing of a klansman standing in front of a burning cross with the words “white lives do matter.”

Residents in the area began gathering the flyers as they saw them in the community. Shaun Wallace saw his neighbor holding one of the flyers at around 7:30 a.m., appearing visibly upset. The two found 14 in the area where they were. “It’s really disheartening to see openly racist material in our neighborhood,” Wallace, who was walking his dog when he saw his neighbor, told the Register. “Almost everyone who lives in this area that I’ve shown this to feels the same way.”

Wallace said the racist behavior in his neighborhood is not new. Wallace shared that he has argued with people online who claim “white people” are afraid to “stand up for their heritage because they are afraid of being called a racist” and spew other racist rhetoric. He mentioned that his community is filled with racist people.

“We should own this as a community, not push this issue away,” Wallace told the newspaper.

Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor said Monday that Harry H. Rogers, 36, “is an admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a propagandist for Confederate ideology.”

Rogers was arrested and charged with attempted malicious wounding, felony vandalism, and assault and battery. He is being held without bond, according to Richmond Times-Dispatch.

On Sunday, Rogers drove down Lakeside Avenue on the median and up to protesters, then revved his engine and plowed through the crowd. One person was injured.

“While I am grateful that the victim’s injuries do not appear to be serious, an attack on peaceful protesters is heinous and despicable, and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law,” Taylor said.”The accused, by his own admission and by a cursory glance at social media, is an admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a propagandist for Confederate ideology.”

She said the office is investigating whether to charge Rogers with a hate crime.

Rogers’ girlfriend said he only went to “observe” the protests.“He did not go there with violent tendencies,” she said, adding that he was trying to protect her 14-year-old son who was in the car.
