You're correct, I am wrong, it is the dude's shirt I saw as the second hood. I was wrong. I finally saw a video of it from the floor. So, I was wrong I apologize.

I don't however, apologize that the dude didn't have it coming to him. I mean, he was with the KKK girl. I give the dude who punched him kudoos for hitting the correct person, the man. Again, I don't think the protester will press charges.

History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party.

Bullshit.
Links?

rom the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792

Stop right there. Your source has exposed himself as an illiterate hack. The Democratic Party didn't exist until 1828.

The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.

Bullshit. Where those were done they were initiated by local or state governments. Not by a political party.
Political parties do not "legislate".

Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States, but to the African Americans at that time, it was the War Between the Democrats and the Republicans over slavery. The Democrats gave their lives to expand it, Republican gave their lives to ban it.

Bullshit and oversimplified. Tensions between North and South went back to at least the "Tarriff of Abominations" during the Quincy Adams administration. That generated calls for secession in, for one, South Carolina -- the state that was both the first to secede and the site of the first battles -- over 30 years before the War. And that Tariff had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery eventually hitched a ride on what was an already-existing economic quarrel. The idea that "the Civil War was fought over slavery, full stop" is inane oversimplified hackitude that cut-n-pasters like you who can't be bothered to read actual history books lap up like Kool-Aid.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan

Bullshit. It could not have been revealed, as that never happened. In fact my own Congressional document posted in 467 contradicts you and your cut-n-pasted ignoramus source with no links.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

Bullshit. History reveals lynchings. I've posted much on the subject. But it doesnot reveal involvement of any political parties. Prove me wrong.

Interesting you should bring up Tulsa though. The next new governor who took office after the infamous Tulsa Race Riots, Jack Walton, tried to drive the Klan out of Oklahoma. The Klan got him removed from office. Walton was a Democrat. I posted about this earlier too, in the passage about Oscar Underwood and Lyndon Johnson.

After the Civil War, Democrats murdered several hundred black elected officials (in the South) to regain control of the southern government.

Didn't think so.

Over the strong objections of racist Republican Senator Jessie Helms, Republican President Ronald Reagan, signed into law, a bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Several Republican Senators convinced President Reagan this was the right thing to do.

Bullshit.

WikiSpeaks: >> The idea of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday was promoted by labor unions in contract negotiations.[2] After King's death, U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) and U.S. Senator Edward Brooke (a Republican from Massachusetts) introduced a bill in Congress to make King's birthday a national holiday. The bill first came to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1979. However, it fell five votes short of the number needed for passage.[3]

.... Soon after, the King Center turned to support from the corporate community and the general public. The success of this strategy was cemented when musician Stevie Wonder released the single "Happy Birthday" to popularize the campaign in 1980 and hosted the Rally for Peace Press Conference in 1981. Six million signatures were collected for a petition to Congress to pass the law, termed by a 2006 article in The Nation as "the largest petition in favor of an issue in U.S. history."[2]

Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the holiday and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".[4] Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.[5][6] <<

You lose. Liars always do.

Now let's take one last look at exactly what you lost --- the point you started with and then danced away from like Donald Rump mocking somebody's arthrogryposis:

Bzzzzzz wrong. KKK started as a leftist political movement.

As I've documented, it didn't start as a political movement at all, NOR were its founders -- any of them --- "leftists". Actual leftists were among those they were attacking (Republicans). Not because they were leftist (really Liberals) but because they saw them as interlopers. They were what we call today "insurgents", unable to accept having lost the war and military occupation. In that respect they were working in effect* to continue the Civil War.

You figure out what "in effect" means yet? Here it doesn't mean that they literally formed a nation and declared war on the North, but that they committed some of the same kinds of actions that declaring that war would have entailed -- to bring the same result.

That's what we mean by "vigilantes". Those who act outside the structure of law or nation -- individually.

The Klan didn't even get into politics until the 1920s. And when they did --- this happened:

​

Whether you like it or not, the KKK started in the Democrat party. You're just a delusional hack, that's all.

Robert Byrd

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
Democrat United States Senator Robert C. Byrdwas a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.[3]

Despite being the only Senator to vote against both African American U.S. Supreme Court nominees (liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas) and filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Supreme Court justice Hugo Black.
Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Hugo Black, a Democrat. In 1921, Black successfully defended E. R. Stephenson in the sensational trial for the murder of a Catholic priest, Fr. James E. Coyle. He joined the Ku Klux Klan shortly after, in order to gain votes from the anti-Catholic element in Alabama. He built his winning Senate campaign around multiple appearances at KKK meetings across Alabama. Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

Theodore G. Bilbo

Senator Theodore G. Bilbo.
Theodore G. Bilbo, a Democrat and United States Senator from Mississippi revealed his membership in the Ku Klux Klan in an interview on the radio program Meet the Press. He said, "No man can leave the Klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux."

Bibb Graves

Governor Bibb Graves.
Bibb Graves, a Democrat, who was the 38th Governor of Alabama, lost his first campaign for governor in 1922, but four years later, with the secret endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan, he was elected to his first term as governor. Almost certainly Graves was the Exalted Cyclops (chapter president) of the Montgomery chapter of the Klan. Graves like Hugo Black, were politicians who used the strength of the Klan to further their electoral prospects.[14]

Clifford Walker

Governor Clifford Walker.
Clifford Walker, a Democrat and the 64th Governor of Georgia, was revealed to be a Klan member by the press in 1924.

George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.

The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.

Bullshit. Where those were done they were initiated by local or state governments. Not by a political party.
Political parties do not "legislate".

Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States, but to the African Americans at that time, it was the War Between the Democrats and the Republicans over slavery. The Democrats gave their lives to expand it, Republican gave their lives to ban it.

Bullshit and oversimplified. Tensions between North and South went back to at least the "Tarriff of Abominations" during the Quincy Adams administration. That generated calls for secession in, for one, South Carolina -- the state that was both the first to secede and the site of the first battles -- over 30 years before the War. And that Tariff had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery eventually hitched a ride on what was an already-existing economic quarrel. The idea that "the Civil War was fought over slavery, full stop" is inane oversimplified hackitude that cut-n-pasters like you who can't be bothered to read actual history books lap up like Kool-Aid.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan

Bullshit. It could not have been revealed, as that never happened. In fact my own Congressional document posted in 467 contradicts you and your cut-n-pasted ignoramus source with no links.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

Bullshit. History reveals lynchings. I've posted much on the subject. But it doesnot reveal involvement of any political parties. Prove me wrong.

Interesting you should bring up Tulsa though. The next new governor who took office after the infamous Tulsa Race Riots, Jack Walton, tried to drive the Klan out of Oklahoma. The Klan got him removed from office. Walton was a Democrat. I posted about this earlier too, in the passage about Oscar Underwood and Lyndon Johnson.

After the Civil War, Democrats murdered several hundred black elected officials (in the South) to regain control of the southern government.

Didn't think so.

Over the strong objections of racist Republican Senator Jessie Helms, Republican President Ronald Reagan, signed into law, a bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Several Republican Senators convinced President Reagan this was the right thing to do.

Bullshit.

WikiSpeaks: >> The idea of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday was promoted by labor unions in contract negotiations.[2] After King's death, U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) and U.S. Senator Edward Brooke (a Republican from Massachusetts) introduced a bill in Congress to make King's birthday a national holiday. The bill first came to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1979. However, it fell five votes short of the number needed for passage.[3]

.... Soon after, the King Center turned to support from the corporate community and the general public. The success of this strategy was cemented when musician Stevie Wonder released the single "Happy Birthday" to popularize the campaign in 1980 and hosted the Rally for Peace Press Conference in 1981. Six million signatures were collected for a petition to Congress to pass the law, termed by a 2006 article in The Nation as "the largest petition in favor of an issue in U.S. history."[2]

Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the holiday and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".[4] Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.[5][6] <<

Dishonest, link-deficient HACK.

Hah! Even Democrats don't deny that the KKK started in their party dufus.

Try being intellectually honest.

Whether one gets off one's ass and examines history has jack shit to do with what their political party is.
I gave you a dozen links. They have the history. There's not a damn thing you can do about that.

History is what it is. You don't get to rewrite it just because you sign up on a message board and splash some wannabe revisionist's blog that he didn't bother to research or link to.

You lose. Liars always do.

Now let's take one last look at exactly what you lost --- the point you started with and then danced away from like Donald Rump mocking somebody's arthrogryposis:

Bzzzzzz wrong. KKK started as a leftist political movement.

As I've documented, it didn't start as a political movement at all, NOR were its founders -- any of them --- "leftists". Actual leftists were among those they were attacking (Republicans). Not because they were leftist (really Liberals) but because they saw them as interlopers. They were what we call today "insurgents", unable to accept having lost the war and military occupation. In that respect they were working in effect* to continue the Civil War.

You figure out what "in effect" means yet? Here it doesn't mean that they literally formed a nation and declared war on the North, but that they committed some of the same kinds of actions that declaring that war would have entailed -- to bring the same result.

That's what we mean by "vigilantes". Those who act outside the structure of law or nation -- individually.

The Klan didn't even get into politics until the 1920s. And when they did --- this happened:

Whether you like it or not, the KKK started in the Democrat party. You're just a delusional hack, that's all.

Robert Byrd

Senator Robert Byrd was a Kleagle, a Klan recruiter, in his 20s and 30s.
Democrat United States Senator Robert C. Byrdwas a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group's Imperial Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.[3]

Despite being the only Senator to vote against both African American U.S. Supreme Court nominees (liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas) and filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Supreme Court justice Hugo Black.
Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Hugo Black, a Democrat. In 1921, Black successfully defended E. R. Stephenson in the sensational trial for the murder of a Catholic priest, Fr. James E. Coyle. He joined the Ku Klux Klan shortly after, in order to gain votes from the anti-Catholic element in Alabama. He built his winning Senate campaign around multiple appearances at KKK meetings across Alabama. Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

Theodore G. Bilbo

Senator Theodore G. Bilbo.
Theodore G. Bilbo, a Democrat and United States Senator from Mississippi revealed his membership in the Ku Klux Klan in an interview on the radio program Meet the Press. He said, "No man can leave the Klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux."

Bibb Graves

Governor Bibb Graves.
Bibb Graves, a Democrat, who was the 38th Governor of Alabama, lost his first campaign for governor in 1922, but four years later, with the secret endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan, he was elected to his first term as governor. Almost certainly Graves was the Exalted Cyclops (chapter president) of the Montgomery chapter of the Klan. Graves like Hugo Black, were politicians who used the strength of the Klan to further their electoral prospects.[14]

Clifford Walker

Governor Clifford Walker.
Clifford Walker, a Democrat and the 64th Governor of Georgia, was revealed to be a Klan member by the press in 1924.

George Gordon
George Gordon, a Democrat and Congressman for Tennessee's 10th congressional districtbecame one of the Klan's first members. In 1867, Gordon became the Klan's first Grand Dragon for the Realm of Tennessee, and wrote its "Precept," a book describing its organization, purpose, and principles.

Thank you.

hahahahahahahahahahahahha a peewee herman attack. Is that all you got? Two hoods two KKKs and the first dude got slugged. Funny stuff.

Again you can't identify where the invisible second hood is relative to the only visible hood which is on the girl with the white shirt with red sleeves.
Thank you.

Thank you.

You're correct, I am wrong, it is the dude's shirt I saw as the second hood. I was wrong. I finally saw a video of it from the floor. So, I was wrong I apologize.

I don't however, apologize that the dude didn't have it coming to him. I mean, he was with the KKK girl. I give the dude who punched him kudoos for hitting the correct person, the man. Again, I don't think the protester will press charges.

I thank you for admitting that there was only one hood.
I, of course, disagree with the rest of your post, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

it is funny how that escort's shirt ended up in that shot that way though. thanks. Your point about opinions is important, it is everyone's right in this country to have one and someone should not be interfering with that right.

There were other photos as well as thew video.

Just knowing that on the floor is this commie getting his head stomped is just a heart warming feeling that leaves me with a sense of calm and.....tranquility.

Source: Encyclopedia of Right-Wing Extremism in Modern American History

>>The oldest and most widespread white supremacist movement in the United States is the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Six veterans of the Confederate Army founded the Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1866 [sic]*, in Pulaski, Tennessee.8

... These six veterans returned home after the war during a period of social upheaval. They were restlesss and looking for excitement, so the formed the Ku Klux Klan, originally as a social club: "This is an institution of chivalry, humanity, mercy and patriotism; embodying in its genius and its principles all that is chivalric in conduct, noble in sentiment, generous in manhood and patriot in purpose."10

--- page 3, right at the beginning of the book​

* -- actually 1865​

Source: History.com

>> A group including many former Confederate veterans founded the first branch of the Ku Klux Klan as a social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866*. The first two words of the organization’s name supposedly derived from the Greek word “kyklos,” meaning circle.

... In 1915, white Protestant nativists organized a revival of the Ku Klux Klan near Atlanta, Georgia, inspired by their romantic view of the Old South as well as Thomas Dixon’s 1905 book “The Clansman” and D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film “Birth of a Nation.” This second generation of the Klan was not only anti-black but also took a stand against Roman Catholics, Jews, foreigners and organized labor. It was fueled by growing hostility to the surge in immigration that America experienced in the early 20th century along with fears of communist revolution akin to the Bolshevik triumph in Russia in 1917. The organization took as its symbol a burning cross and held rallies, parades and marches around the country. At its peak in the 1920s, Klan membership exceeded 4 million people nationwide. <<​

First KKK
>> The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[17] The name is probably derived from the Greek word kuklos which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[18]
Although there was little organizational structure above the local level, similar groups rose across the South and adopted the same name and methods.[19] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.

Second KKK
... In 1915, the second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting in 1921, it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges as commissions to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. Reflecting the social tensions of urban industrialization and vastly increased immigration, its membership grew most rapidly in cities, and spread out of the South to the Midwest and West. The second KKK preached "One Hundred Percent Americanism" and demanded the purification of politics, calling for strict morality and better enforcement of prohibition. Its official rhetoric focused on the threat of the Catholic Church, using anti-Catholicism and nativism.[4] Its appeal was directed exclusively at white Protestants.[21]​

...Third KKK
The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by a numerous independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[25] Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. <<​

>> About the Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan is a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a commitment to extreme violence to achieve its goals of racial segregation and white supremacy.
... At first, the Ku Klux Klan focused its anger and violence on African-Americans, on white Americans who stood up for them, and against the federal government which supported their rights. Subsequent incarnations of the Klan, which typically emerged in times of rapid social change, added more categories to its enemies list, including Jews, Catholics (less so after the 1970s), homosexuals, and different groups of immigrants.

In Pulaski, Tennessee, a group of Confederate veterans convenes to form a secret society that they christen the "Ku Klux Klan." The KKK rapidly grew from a secret social fraternity to a paramilitary force bent on reversing the federal government's progressive Reconstruction Era-activities in the South, especially policies that elevated the rights of the local African American population.

The name of the Ku Klux Klan was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning "circle," and the Scottish-Gaelic word "clan," which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration. Under a platform of philosophized white racial superiority, the group employed violence as a means of pushing back Reconstruction and its enfranchisement of African Americans. Former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the KKK's first grand wizard; in 1869, he unsuccessfully tried to disband it after he grew critical of the Klan's excessive violence. <<​

>> The original Ku Klux Klan was created in an 1865 meeting in a law office by six Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. It was, at first, a humorous social club centering on practical jokes and hazing rituals. From 1866 to 1867, various local units began breaking up black prayer meetings and invading black homes at night to steal firearms. Some of these activities may have been modeled on previous Tennessee vigilante groups such as the Yellow Jackets and Redcaps. In an 1867 convention held in Nashville, the Klan was formalized as a national organization under a Prescript written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general.

... As historian Elaine Frantz Parsons discovered [Parsons p 816]:

"Lifting the Klan mask revealed a chaotic multitude of antiblack vigilante groups, disgruntled poor white farmers, wartime guerrilla bands, displaced Democratic politicians, illegal whiskey distillers, coercive moral reformers, bored young men, sadists, rapists, white workmen fearful of black competition, employers trying to enforce labor discipline, common thieves, neighbors with decades-old grudges, and even a few freedmen and white Republicans who allied with Democratic whites or had criminal agendas of their own." <<​

.Byrd later said joining the Klan was his "greatest mistake." The NAACP gave him a 100% rating on their issues during the 108th Congress.[4] However, in a 2001 incident Byrd repeatedly used the phrase "white *******" on a national television broadcast.[5]

Hugo Black

Late in life Black told an interviewer:

at that time, I was joining every organization in sight!...In my part of Alabama, the Klan was not engaged in unlawful activities....The general feeling in the community was that if responsible citizens didn't join the Klan it would soon become dominated by the less responsible members.[6]
News of his membership was a secret until shortly after he was confirmed for the United States Supreme Court. Black later said that joining the Klan was a mistake, but he went on to say "I would have joined any group if it helped get me votes."[7][8]

Also makes it hard to explain how Oscar Underwood, Senator from Alabama that was the leading voice denouncing the Klan, got pushback from the Klan to deny him a spot as a Presidential candidate .... at the 1924 Democratic convention.

Kinda makes it hard to explain why the first POTUS to prosecute the revived Klan was Lyndon Johnson ... Democrat.

Care to essplain why a "wing of the Democratic party" would be working to elect Republicans over its own candidates? Care to tell the class why a party with such a "wing" would be actively prosecuting that "wing"?


Once again for you short-bus kids at the Academy of Denialism committed to smokescreening history --- the Klan was never an organization formed for politics. When it finally did dabble in politics it used the Democrats you listed in the South, the Republicans I list here --- whatever would suit the purpose of the time. Politics was secondary -- the primary thrust was as a social police force, keeping blacks, Liberals, communists, unionists, Catholics, Jews, gays, immigrants and "loose" women "in their place". It was a Christian-based Sharia Law force.


And while you're at it, why don't you tell the class which political party is likely to be associated with blacks, Jews, immigrants, Catholics, unions and gays? You can kind of figure it out by reading the general threads in this Politics section. Then explain to us why a political party would be persecuting its own constituency.

History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party.

Bullshit.
Links?

rom the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792

Stop right there. Your source has exposed himself as an illiterate hack. The Democratic Party didn't exist until 1828.

The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.

Bullshit. Where those were done they were initiated by local or state governments. Not by a political party.
Political parties do not "legislate".

Some called it the Civil War, others called it the War Between the States, but to the African Americans at that time, it was the War Between the Democrats and the Republicans over slavery. The Democrats gave their lives to expand it, Republican gave their lives to ban it.

Bullshit and oversimplified. Tensions between North and South went back to at least the "Tarriff of Abominations" during the Quincy Adams administration. That generated calls for secession in, for one, South Carolina -- the state that was both the first to secede and the site of the first battles -- over 30 years before the War. And that Tariff had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery eventually hitched a ride on what was an already-existing economic quarrel. The idea that "the Civil War was fought over slavery, full stop" is inane oversimplified hackitude that cut-n-pasters like you who can't be bothered to read actual history books lap up like Kool-Aid.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan

Bullshit. It could not have been revealed, as that never happened. In fact my own Congressional document posted in 467 contradicts you and your cut-n-pasted ignoramus source with no links.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

Bullshit. History reveals lynchings. I've posted much on the subject. But it doesnot reveal involvement of any political parties. Prove me wrong.

Interesting you should bring up Tulsa though. The next new governor who took office after the infamous Tulsa Race Riots, Jack Walton, tried to drive the Klan out of Oklahoma. The Klan got him removed from office. Walton was a Democrat. I posted about this earlier too, in the passage about Oscar Underwood and Lyndon Johnson.

After the Civil War, Democrats murdered several hundred black elected officials (in the South) to regain control of the southern government.

Link?


Didn't think so.

Over the strong objections of racist Republican Senator Jessie Helms, Republican President Ronald Reagan, signed into law, a bill to make Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday. Several Republican Senators convinced President Reagan this was the right thing to do.

Bullshit.

WikiSpeaks: >> The idea of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday was promoted by labor unions in contract negotiations.[2] After King's death, U.S. Representative John Conyers (a Democrat from Michigan) and U.S. Senator Edward Brooke (a Republican from Massachusetts) introduced a bill in Congress to make King's birthday a national holiday. The bill first came to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1979. However, it fell five votes short of the number needed for passage.[3]

.... Soon after, the King Center turned to support from the corporate community and the general public. The success of this strategy was cemented when musician Stevie Wonder released the single "Happy Birthday" to popularize the campaign in 1980 and hosted the Rally for Peace Press Conference in 1981. Six million signatures were collected for a petition to Congress to pass the law, termed by a 2006 article in The Nation as "the largest petition in favor of an issue in U.S. history."[2]

Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the holiday and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".[4] Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.[5][6] <<

Dishonest, link-deficient HACK.

Hah! Even Democrats don't deny that the KKK started in their party dufus.

Try being intellectually honest.

Whether one gets off one's ass and examines history has jack shit to do with what their political party is.
I gave you a dozen links. They have the history. There's not a damn thing you can do about that.

History is what it is. You don't get to rewrite it just because you sign up on a message board and splash some wannabe revisionist's blog that he didn't bother to research or link to.

You lose. Liars always do.

Now let's take one last look at exactly what you lost --- the point you started with and then danced away from like Donald Rump mocking somebody's arthrogryposis:

Bzzzzzz wrong. KKK started as a leftist political movement.

As I've documented, it didn't start as a political movement at all, NOR were its founders -- any of them --- "leftists". Actual leftists were among those they were attacking (Republicans). Not because they were leftist (really Liberals) but because they saw them as interlopers. They were what we call today "insurgents", unable to accept having lost the war and military occupation. In that respect they were working in effect* to continue the Civil War.

You figure out what "in effect" means yet? Here it doesn't mean that they literally formed a nation and declared war on the North, but that they committed some of the same kinds of actions that declaring that war would have entailed -- to bring the same result.

That's what we mean by "vigilantes". Those who act outside the structure of law or nation -- individually.

The Klan didn't even get into politics until the 1920s. And when they did --- this happened:

​

Whether you like it or not, the KKK started in the Democrat party. You're just a delusional hack, that's all.

Whether YOU like it or not you're peddling bullshit. I already laid out the true history in 467. Here it comes again, like it or lump it.

>>The oldest and most widespread white supremacist movement in the United States is the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Six veterans of the Confederate Army founded the Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1866 [sic]*, in Pulaski, Tennessee.8

... These six veterans returned home after the war during a period of social upheaval. They were restlesss and looking for excitement, so the formed the Ku Klux Klan, originally as a social club: "This is an institution of chivalry, humanity, mercy and patriotism; embodying in its genius and its principles all that is chivalric in conduct, noble in sentiment, generous in manhood and patriot in purpose."10

>> A group including many former Confederate veterans founded the first branch of the Ku Klux Klan as a social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866*. The first two words of the organization’s name supposedly derived from the Greek word “kyklos,” meaning circle.

... In 1915, white Protestant nativists organized a revival of the Ku Klux Klan near Atlanta, Georgia, inspired by their romantic view of the Old South as well as Thomas Dixon’s 1905 book “The Clansman” and D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film “Birth of a Nation.” This second generation of the Klan was not only anti-black but also took a stand against Roman Catholics, Jews, foreigners and organized labor. It was fueled by growing hostility to the surge in immigration that America experienced in the early 20th century along with fears of communist revolution akin to the Bolshevik triumph in Russia in 1917. The organization took as its symbol a burning cross and held rallies, parades and marches around the country. At its peak in the 1920s, Klan membership exceeded 4 million people nationwide. <<​

First KKK
>> The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army.[17] The name is probably derived from the Greek word kuklos which means circle, suggesting a circle or band of brothers.[18]
Although there was little organizational structure above the local level, similar groups rose across the South and adopted the same name and methods.[19] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans.

Second KKK
... In 1915, the second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia. Starting in 1921, it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges as commissions to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. Reflecting the social tensions of urban industrialization and vastly increased immigration, its membership grew most rapidly in cities, and spread out of the South to the Midwest and West. The second KKK preached "One Hundred Percent Americanism" and demanded the purification of politics, calling for strict morality and better enforcement of prohibition. Its official rhetoric focused on the threat of the Catholic Church, using anti-Catholicism and nativism.[4] Its appeal was directed exclusively at white Protestants.[21]​

...Third KKK
The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by a numerous independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama.[25] Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. <<​

HISTORY OF THE KU KLUX KLAN - C.N.K.K.K.K.KENTUCKY

"In a short amount of time the KKK spread throughout the eleven former Confederate States. Membership was kept "secret", as Union Army would "hang" without a "fair trial" any White suspected of being a Klansman. The first convention of the Ku Klux Klan was held at Nashville, Tennessee in May of 1867. The Klan was so "successful" at reestablishing White rule to the South that several Federal Laws were passed against it.
1865 Alien & Sedition Act
1870 & 1871 Two Ku Klux Acts
1868 The State of Tennessee passed a
separate Anti-Ku Klux Statute.
By about 1872 most Southern States were electing White Legislatures, so the Ku Klux Klan was formally "abolished" about 1874."
