So Truman was a KKK member

[tinydancer]

The Democrats are such a funny bunch. Running with trying to brand R's as racist because they only wish to have a decent immigration and refugee policy and the D's are still KKK to the core.

I wonder how many know that Truman was KKK?

Almost everybody, td. He was a member for a short campaign season in 1924, refused to pledge to not hire Catholics or Jews, and resigned after election. He felt "dirtied" by the association, as many do with those that are racists who claim TP allegiance or who are actual Klan members today.

How about giving me a link to the new KKK and supposed TP's. I'd appreciate it.

Next up though, the Democrats and the KKK are married. This is proven history.

Very simple. Trying to claim Trump's father was KKK. Isn't that the new game for D's?

 

[tinydancer]

So I believe if people are going to claim Trump's father was KKK then we should go after every single Democrat elected or not that had a family member in the KKK.

Game on.

Indeed, they are: more than 50 years ago. Bush and the GOP are married to the Great Recession: 7 years ago. This is proven history.

Link? Read the posters on the Board. Indeed, the Dems are: more than 50 years ago. Bush and the GOP are married to the Great Recession: 7 years ago. This is proven history.

The Pubs are married to the Great Depression: 86 years ago. This is proven history.

You need to grow up (you are older than me!).

We need to work together, and the Dems and Pubs are not doing that. That's proven history.

Whenever the topic of racism gets brought up between Democrats and Republicans, there are two facts you’ll almost always hear conservatives use to counter the belief that their party is full of racism: President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican The KKK was largely organized, and populated by, Democrats And both are facts.

But when someone uses these two items as their defense that the Republican party isn’t loaded with racism, they’re only showing their ignorance about the reality of racism within their party.

It’s true, Southern Democrats were extremely racist. At the same time, Northern “liberal” Democrats and Republicans had already been working together to end discrimination and pushed for ending segregation.

See, in 1948, President Harry Truman made one of the boldest public moves by a Democrat towards Civil Rights for African Americans by creating the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, and ending discrimination in the military. At the Democratic National Convention in 1948 a call was made for civil rights—prompting at least 35 Southern delegates to walk out.

Essentially it was the Republican party saying, “Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans—the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks.”

I'll give you the first paragraph of the KKK platform and you conjure up some honesty and tell us who this sounds like, politically:

The Knights ' Party Platform

The recognition that America was founded as a Christian nation.

As James Madison, known as the "Chief Architect of the Constitution" stated; " We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves to control ourselves to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
