Just as the Mob uses 'Muscle' to enforce its will, wasn't the KKK the 'Muscle' behind the "Whites Only Culture" during the Jim Crow era?
@ The Beat: While I don't celebrate the Mob, I do respect their panache and the subculture they were forced to create due to the religious and ethic bigotry of the WASP dominated society. The KKK supported Prohibition, while the Mob was instrumental in the spread of "Speakeasies." And since speakeasies were largely gender and race neutral, the stodgy racist "Whites Only" crap lost ground. And musically, America's only claim, Jazz, was played at the speakeasies. So, I respect the Mob for that.

It was part of the "muscle". The official local law enforcement agencies were usually involved, too.

Yeah, but that muscle has turned to mush.
