There is what seems to be an organized movement to deny that most racists are Republican, Christian and Conservative. The CONS go back 175 years to when 6 confederate officers formed the KKK because they were pissed that they were losing their source of free labor so they took it out on the Blacks.
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a far right organization, advocating white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration stances. Their end goal was, is and always has been racial subordination, and to this end they fought way back in their founding against voting rights of black people and the right to keep and bear arms for black people. In Southern cities they opposed unions. They recruit in this century using issues of illegal immigration, urban crime, civil unions and same-sex marriage.
These positions align with the modern day Republican Party’s policies on many issues, which is why I referred to the Party as metaphorically wearing white hoods while they metaphorically took women back to the cave. Let us refrain from trying to explain metaphors to the party who still thinks that satire is what you call being mean in order to get away with it.
At any rate, the parties were not always like this! Change happens. Things evolve over a few centuries. Shocking, I know.
All of the conservative/Republican outrage demonstrated three things. First, Republicans don’t like being called out on their Jim Crow voting laws or their Stand Your Ground gun laws that frequently do not get interpreted the same for black people or women as they do for the whitest man in the room (highest ranker on the patriarchy scale).
They know it’s “bad” to be a racist, and so they will deny the white hood while hiding under the deflection that Democrats wore it first way back in the late 1860s when it was founded by six veterans of the Confederate Army. Yes, Democrats were a big part of the original KKK over 150 years ago. But Democrats were on the other side in 1948 with the addition of civil rights as a campaign plank and on into the fights for Civil Rights in the 60s, losing Southern white voters to the Republican Party. But really, what matters when you are voting is where each party stands TODAY. (The KKK had a resurgence in the 20s by white protestants angry at industrialization and immigration and high on Prohibition and the Bible, and a third big incarnation in reaction to the Civil Rights movement.)
The fact is most Catholics are Dems as are most Jews. The KKK hates Jews and Catholics as much as they hate Blacks. Dems fought for civil rights and most Rethuglicans turned a blind eye.
The CONS aka lying sacks of shit will try to derail this thread and when they do they will increase the risk of getting terminal cancer. Karma is the real deal. Lie at your own risk Republicans.
