I was actually going to mention the KKK, but wasn't sure if it would be offensive or not (LOL). I actually never knew that the KKK was named after an African phrase, although I did find the name suspect (given that it sounded pretty ... not ... western European).

My tie-in to the KKK was that it was originally founded as a way for former (rich plantation) slaveholders or Confederate soldiers to vent their frustrations about their losses from the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves. It eventually turned into louder discontentment that turned into violence against blacks or pro-blacks. This tie-in, too, works both ways, but I saw it as an inversion for the pro-Faunus!White Fang. The WF are disgruntled by the discrimination they faced, and then they eventually turned violent.
