The following images I found rather startling, actually – which is largely due to the fact that in America men walking about in white pointy hoods generally denote membership to certain rather ugly groups. This is apparently not the case in Spain.
There’s more over at The Times. Great photos.

The thought that comes to my mind looking at those photos is that it’s obvious that the KKK’s garb is directly stolen from those traditions, which can obviously no longer occur amongst decent people in the US. It is absolutely tragic that because of the KKK, those traditions have come to mean for most Americans the precise opposite of their original, and more univeral, meaning.Report
I know, it’s really very sad. The Nazi’s, of course, stole the Swastika from the Indians also. I opened several old copies of some Rudyard Kipling books and they were completely covered in Swastikas – a symbol Kipling used, apparently, as a sort of icon for his writing.Report
