I recently saw one in Northern Virginia that read XKXKXKX.  I snapped a pic and reported it to DMV.  No idea if they did anything.
Woah - that's appalling!
In CA, you actually have to explain the meaning of your plate. Wonder what bullshit explanation they offered to get that one. Ugh.
Maybe they're just very proud about being an ex-KKK member?
I find it interesting that you (and possibly @BlueHouse and @Gremlin too?) saw that license plate and came to that specific interpretation.  I saw it, and only thought "gosh, that's gonna be hard for a cop or speed camera to decipher."  Thus I was a bit confused by Gremlin's strong reaction.
Same here. Seemed like a stretch to associate it with the KKK.
Wait, are you serious?  I mean, all kidding aside, is there any other possible explanation than to ignore the Xes and the remainder is "KKK"
Yes, I'm serious. I agree with zolotiyeruki, I think it's more plausible it's just trying to be difficult to read. I wouldn't rule out it meaning "KKK" but I just don't think it's obviously supposed to be that.

I always liked the "NARANJO" plate on a bright orange car.

One of the best ones I've seen is "CRUELLA" on a Coupe DeVille, as the DeVille emblem was to the right of the plate. It wasn't white with black spots, though!

There's a great story about a "Null" license plate. If you're into computers, you can imagine the problems.

Somewhere I saw a white Nissan Cube with the plate “C6H12O6”
Awesome.

Some are so sweet that I can’t even judge them for the expense.

Not sure if I've mentioned this one on this thread. One of my customers had a few classic cars. One day, I noticed one I hadn't seen before. The license place was 4x4x8 and I knew exactly what it was. He was tickled that I got it right away.

You say he was tickled, but that’s just acCORDing to you…

No Joe Walsh fans?

I loved it, but at first thought not to comment. :)
