I wonder who those White Supremacists vote for? You know, the Nazi loving asswipes from Charlottesville.Probably true. They can vote for whoever they want. Only thing is, Republicans never identify themselves with KKK and strongly reject them.
Whereas the democrats created the KKK as the terrorist wing of the party. democrats are now employing another terrorist group, ANTIFA. Terrorism is just part and parcel of the democratic party.
Let us not forget that when the KKK was started, Democrats were ruling the South. Now Republicans rule the South. I wonder, how did that happen? Did all the Democrats move out or did they get pissed off at LBJ & become Republicans? Quit trying to blame others. You know what you are, you elected one of your own. Quit being a bunch od of pussies & just admit it.
As Chris Rock says: Not all Republicans are racist but if you are a racist, you are most likely a Republican.
"Let us not forget that when the KKK was started, Democrats were ruling the South. Now Republicans rule the South. I wonder, how did that happen?"
A cry for education?
OK.
- 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenation law.” Spiro Agnew - Wikipedia
- 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …” Lester Maddox Dies at 87; Segregationist Ex-Governor Leaves Complicated Legacy | HighBeam Business: Arrive Prepared
- Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governor’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.
- Calloway appealed to the Supreme Court….but the court upheld the legislature’s decision.
- On that very Supreme Court was former KKK member Justice Hugo Black.
- Democrat Hugo Black was Democrat FDR’s first appointee, in 1937. This KKK Senator from Alabama wrote the majority decision on Korematsu v. US; in 1967, he said ‘They all look alike to a person not a Jap.” Engage: Conversations in Philosophy: "They all look alike to a person not a Jap"*: The Legacy of Korematsu at OSU
- Not all Democrats were segregationists, but all segregationists were Democrats! And…there were enough of them to demand compliance from the rest of the party.
Republicans in the South were just as racist as Democrats in the South in 1964 when the Civil Rights Act passed.
To pretend your party is not racist is just plain ridiculous.
"Republicans in the South were just as racist as Democrats ..."
The facts prove otherwise, RealDumb...
