They say unknow history, but White Cap Parties appears to have been an early occurrence of the game. From the wording of the articles – did not read them in detail – it appears as White Caps and the KKK were distinct, but with like basically identical clothes, tactics, opinions, and so on, so fair enough. Just predated the KKK maybe?
Jesus TIL as well. I did always think that Hangman was unnecessarily dark but hearing it’s related to the KKK is extra yikes. They taught this game in public grade schools for FFS!
I like the idea that a transvestigater would just stop to play hangman and keep it in the tweet
Hangman was created by the KKK, so yeah that tracks
Huh, TIL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangman_(game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitecapping
