FILE - In this June 14, 2016 file photo, armed police officers stand guard outside the historic Stonewall Inn in New York as people congregate to pay their respects for the the victims and survivors of the Orlando nightclub shooting. The officers are heavily armed and equipped, in a manner typical of the NYPD's counterterrorism unit and Emergency Service Unit - the NYPD's equivalent of SWAT officers. But the NYPD plans to distribute 20,000 helmets and 6,000 vests before the end of the year to uniformed patrol officers to protect them better during combat with rampaging shooters (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, File) (AP)

The KKK and other white extremist groups don't like being called "white supremacists," a phrase that dates to the earliest days of white racist movements in the United States.
