Very familiar with Olive Hill; home to Tom T. Hall. The time I spent in E. Kentucky we lived in Morehead. As I said you and others may claim White privilege in the region, but it's not there. As to Klan activity that stuff ends pretty much at South Central KY before you hit the Appalachians and there is definitely no modern day presence.
