Senator rober byrd, democrat, was a member of the klan, tear down his statue...

[Penelope]

Trump is selling off our national parks and fed lands and we are talking about confederate statues. That confederate flag should be in a museum. Its history.

Which was a joke, in and of itself.
"Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country.

CivilRights Act?? He filibustered it! Unless they mean he voted against gays all the time.
U.S. Senate: Civil Rights Filibuster Ended
June 10, 1964
Civil Rights Filibuster Ended

​

At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun 14 hours and 13 minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964, a measure that occupied the Senate for 60 working days, including seven Saturdays. A day earlier, Senate whips Hubert Humphrey (D-MN) and Thomas Kuchel (R-CA), the bill's floor managers, concluded they had the 67 votes required at that time to end the debate.

The filibuster that almost killed the Civil Rights Act - National Constitution Center

Byrd apologized, as he said, his mother said you can't die with hate filling you. He worried over his visit to the pearly gates. In the 60's he filibustered civil rights. In 2001 he was still using racial epithets.

Byrd was honored by the NAACP for his voting record on civil rights

 

[depotoo]

Long and distinguished? He filibustered the civil rights act, he voted against gays in the military, gay marriage, et al. All those things you claim are important civil rights! He used racial epithets publicly in 2001! Geeesh!

You can't make this stuff up!

There is a statue erected to Byrd.

If anyone erects a statue to Robert Byrd to honor his service in the klan, I will support tearing it down

The KKK is not worthy of honor in this country.....neither is the Confederacy

Very true...it honors a long and distinguished record in the Senate

Now, to be fair, if they erected a statue of someone who fought for the Confederacy, but then went on to do great things afterward...it would be perfectly acceptable because they are honoring the great things he did, not his service in the Confederacy

See how that works?

And thus their love of Byrd.

He should be remembered for having denounced the kkk.

Trump has failed to reject support of the white nationalists, racists, and bigots who say they backed him.

That's worse than Byrd.

You are a LIAR and POS MORON...

The article is even from your DEM HACK propaganda site...

Trump denounces KKK, neo-Nazis as ‘repugnant’ as he seeks to quell criticism of his response to Charlottesville

Go talk your LIES and BULL SHIT somewhere else, ass clown.

No amount of reasoning or arguing with these people will do any good. The time for reasoning with them is long past.

Because your side has no argument only hyperbole. Trump calls the actions of these clowns bad, then says see ya later! Just more morally corrupt BULLSHIT from Trump.....and the pile is getting higher.

I'd say that Trump has more pressing matters to be concerned with than appeasing a group of antifa rioters, wouldn't you?

Bullshit. Plain and simple. No rewriting of that history no matter how hard you try.

Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks.

It was founded by Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest, who went after Blacks and Republicans.

Just as Dem Robert C Byrds racist, bigoted voting history is preserved within the annals of Congressional voting volumes.

Bill Clinton of Obama in 2008: A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee

Bill Clinton’s confused and angry response to being questioned about his role in the mass incarceration of black Americans (and what scholars such as Michelle Alexander have described as the “new Jim Crow”) is a reflection of the messy politics that birthed the 1994 crime bill (The Violent Crime Control Act).
Racist then, racist now: The real story of Bill Clinton’s crime bill

For example, although the Clintons may smile in the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s face, behind his back they call him “that G**damned n*gger,” she reported.

In 1974, Hillary erupted at Bill’s campaign manager, Paul Fray, calling him “you f**king Jew bastard.”

When Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, he was sued multiple times by groups of minorities, both blacks and Hispanics, for violating the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He lost every time.

In nearby Crittenden County, a black Democrat named Ben McGee won his party’s primary for a seat in the Arkansas state legislature in 1988. However, Gov. Bill Clinton tried to replace McGee with a white Democratic candidate of his choice. That case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the court ruled 8-0 against Clinton.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a 2010 interview with journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann in which he said that Barack Obama would be successful in his Presidential thanks to being “light-skinned” and speaking “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”


Former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian referring to Gov. Nikki Haley’s Indian parents and heritage,

“In about 18 months from now, hopefully [Gubernatorial candidate Sen. Vincent Sheheen] will have sent Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from and this country can move forward.”

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel when taking a question from Robin Gandhi, an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska and a man of Indian descent:

“You’re not a member of the Taliban, are you?”

Vice President Joe Biden talking the entrepreneurial immigrants that enter our country and run 7-11’s and Dunkin Donuts:

“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking!”

Joe Biden about Barack Obama

“I mean you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy.”

"(Harry Reid) was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." -- Harry Reid's comments reported by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann

"I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation." -- Former Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd (D.,Conn.)

"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness." -- Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

The abortion industry has always had a racial component — since the days of Margaret Sanger ( which honored Hillary) and her eugenics past — and more evidence of the inherent racism within abortion has come to light.


Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, is alerting people to a video that shows abortion practitioner (Democrat) Ashutosh Ron Virmani referring to the black children that he kills as “ugly black babies.”

“Let me see one of you adopt one of those ugly black babies,” she says.

“Excuse me? It’s all too obvious that he has a particular disgust for black babies and therefore has no problems killing them,” Gardner responds. “The black community should be outraged because Ashutosh Virmani is a brazen racist and his statement supports what we already know of the billion dollar abortion industry–black babies are targeted because they are seen as poor, worthless and maybe even ‘ugly.'”

Ku Klux Klan - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com

Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.

From 1867 onward, African-American participation in public life in the South became one of the most radical aspects of Reconstruction, as blacks won election to southern state governments and even to the U.S. Congress. For its part, the Ku Klux Klan dedicated itself to an underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters (both black and white) in an effort to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and restore white supremacy in the South. They were joined in this struggle by similar organizations such as the Knights of the White Camelia (launched in Louisiana in 1867) and the White Brotherhood. At least 10 percent of the black legislators elected during the 1867-1868 constitutional conventions became victims of violence during Reconstruction, including seven who were killed. White Republicans (derided as “carpetbaggers” and “scalawags”) and black institutions such as schools and churches—symbols of black autonomy—were also targets for Klan attacks.

By 1870, the Ku Klux Klan had branches in nearly every southern state. Even at its height, the Klan did not boast a well-organized structure or clear leadership. Local Klan members–often wearing masks and dressed in the organization’s signature long white robes and hoods–usually carried out their attacks at night, acting on their own but in support of the common goals of defeating Radical Reconstruction and restoring white supremacy in the South. Klan activity flourished particularly in the regions of the South where blacks were a minority or a small majority of the population, and was relatively limited in others. Among the most notorious zones of Klan activity was South Carolina, where in January 1871 500 masked men attacked the Union county jail and lynched eight black prisoners.
