Question 943

A capirote is a headgear of Spanish origin. It was historically worn by the condemned during the Spanish Inquisition. A modification of the capirote where the outer fabric of the hat extends past the shoulders, covering the face and neck while leaving a pair of holes for the eyes, was worn by some Spanish brotherhoods during Easter. In spite of its origins, with which group of people is the capirote associated?

Answer: The Ku Klux Klan(KKK)
