Gaslighting 101: How the Democrats Invented White Supremacy but Blame Republicans​

BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR. MAY 20, 2022

Excerpt:

If you were to believe leftist, bolshie rhetoric you’d think mullet-topped bumpkins with muskets were falling out of every Ford F-150 rambling the back roads of ‘Merica, looking to lynch black folks.

The Democrats like to throw around the term “white supremacy” every chance they get. Joe Biden, who gave a eulogy for an actual Klansman — Hillary Clinton’s mentor Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest-serving Senator in history) — dared call 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse a “white supremacist” after he lawfully ventilated three white Antifa prags in self-defense. The ONE attacker he didn’t shoot was the black guy who kicked him while Rittenhouse was on the ground.

“White supremacy” has been the left’s leading attack phrase for several years now, used especially frequently by chubby, pink-haired unf***bles of uncertain gender when a science-American refuses to refer to it by some ridiculous pronoun not recognized by Webster’s Dictionary.

Democrats are grand masters at blaming Republicans for exactly what THEY DO.

The fact that only ONE Democrat changes Party affiliation (Strom Thurmond) the rest NEVER changed and were replaced by new Democrat Senators.

Nixon lost most of the south in the 1968 election.

Carter a Democrat wins almost the entire South in 1976....

Bill Clinton won majority of the South states in 1992 with 6.

Wow, another thread on this stuff.

Interesting. Why aren't they proud of their words and theories?
Ds like old Joe pushing white supremacy somehow fail to see the hypocrisy in their support of neo-Nazi white supremacists in the Ukraine.

Yet another disconnect that the corporate media ignores and D supporters fail to recognize, even though it’s so apparent.

What an idiotic thread. Everyone knows the Republican Party is now the party of the white supremacists, no matter who "invented" it.

Which party is it that is fighting Critical Race Theory because of the fear that the truth about slavery, The Civil War, Jim Crow and present day institutional racism will be taught in schools?

Democrats acknowledge their racist past. Republicans need to own up to their racism in the present.

As for your source:

There is no racism except for what runs around in your besotted and addled brain.

Debunking the Lie about the Democrats and Racism By the Progressive Patriot (undated) All sources are documented and acknowledged

Few things annoy me more than when people who want to stick a thumb in the eye of Democrats resort to tactics such as pointing out they founded the Ku Klux Klan or pushed through Jim Crow laws following the Civil War. The intent seems to be to draw attention away from the party that harbors the racists of today by shaming the Democrats for the sins of our forefathers.

It’s a sleazy tactic that doesn’t work, and It is time to set the record straight. First of all, Democrats- for the most part- do not deny or try to hide the parties past. Second, I will show how, when and why the racists fled from the Democratic Party and found a new home and lastly, I will present evidence that shows how, during the civil rights era, support for civil right legislation was split, not by party affiliation but by regional loyalty-specifically the old Confederacy and the Union. Let’s begin by talking about the civil war era

Civil War-Era Political Parties of the North Vs. the South | Synonym

Democratic Party
The Democratic Party was formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1792 and held considerable power in the years leading up to the Civil War. The Democratic Party became divided in the 1850s over the issue of slavery, with some factions in the north supporting abolitionist causes, some northern factions supporting accommodation of the South and Southern Democrats supporting the continuation and expansion of slavery. During the elections of 1860, Southern and Northern Democrats nominated separate candidates for president. After the Civil War broke out, former Southern Democrats held considerable clout in the Confederate Congress. Northern Democrats lost much of their political power in the North during the Civil War.
Republican Party
The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s by northerners who wanted to abolish slavery. The demise of the Whig Party and the split in the Democratic Party in the years leading up to the 1860 elections gave the Republicans an opportunity to advance. Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln won the U.S. Presidential election in 1860 and Republicans gained control of Congress, leading to the secession of eleven Southern states. The Republican Party had very little support in the South before the war and virtually none after war broke out. In 1864, the Republican Party joined with Democrats who favored the war effort to form the National Union Party. Other Republicans, who were in favor of pressing the war more forcefully, left the Republican Party to form the Radical Democracy Party (which was an abolitionist and anti Confederate Party : Radical Democracy Party (United States) - Wikipedia . The National Union Party won the 1864 presidential election.
The truth about Republicans and civil rights even then was not as clear cut as some would like us to believe:



Republicans and Democrats after the Civil War
It’s true that many of the first Ku Klux Klan members were Democrats. It’s also true that the early Democratic Party opposed civil rights. But there’s more to it.

The Civil War-era GOP wasn’t that into civil rights. They were more interested in punishing the South for seceding and monopolizing the new black vote.

In any event, by the 1890s, Republicans had begun to distance themselves from civil rights.

As for the democrats

Democrats v Republicans on Jim Crow
Segregation and Jim Crow lasted for 100 years after the end of the Civil War.
During this time, African Americans were largely disenfranchised. There was no African-American voting bloc. Neither party pursued civil rights policies — it wasn’t worth their while.

Democrats dominated Southern politics throughout the Jim Crow Era. It’s fair to say that Democratic governors and legislatures are responsible for creating and upholding white supremacist policies.
Southern Democrats were truly awful.

Then things began to change

President Truman Integrates the Troops: 1948
Fast forward about sixty shitty years. Black people are still living in segregation under Jim Crow. Nonetheless, African Americans agree to serve in World War II. At war’s end, President Harry Truman, a Democrat, used an Executive Order to integrate the troops. (That order was not executed until 1963, however because: racism.)
The Party of Kennedy v the Party of Nixon in the Civil Rights Era


Two things started happening at the same time:
  • Racist Democrats were getting antsy
  • Neither party could afford to ignore civil rights anymore
In 1960 Kennedy defeated Nixon. At the time of his election, the both parties unevenly supported civil rights. But President Kennedy decided to move forward.
After Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, Johnson continued Kennedy’s civil rights focus.

As you can imagine, that did not sit particularly well with most Southern Democrats. This is when Strom Thurmond flew the coop for good.

In fact, a greater percentage of Congressional Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Democrats. Support for the Act followed geographic, not party, lines. ( More on that later)


Get that? Support for civil rights was along geographic, not party lines. Now we get to the meat of the matter:

Soon after, the Republicans came up with their Southern Strategy — a plan to woo white Southern voters to the party for the 1968 election.

The Kennedy and Johnson administrations had advanced civil rights, largely through national legislation and direct executive actions. So, the Southern Strategy was the opposite — states’ rights and no integration.

As in the Civil War, the concepts of “states’ rights” and “tradition,” were codes for “maintaining white supremacy.”
The divide between the north and the south vs the Democrats and the Republicans can be easily illustrated:

Were Republicans really the party of civil rights in the 1960s? | Harry J Enten

As we saw earlier more Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act, but that is not the whole story

1964 Civil Rights Act Senate Version Ayes

////////////////////// Democrats Republicans
House 153 of 244 (63%) 136 of 171 (80%)
Senate 46 of 67 (69%) 27 of 33 (82%)


You don't need to know too much history to understand that the South from the civil war to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 tended to be opposed to minority rights. This factor was separate from party identification or ideology. We can easily control for this variable by breaking up the voting by those states that were part of the confederacy and those that were not.

1964 Civil Rights Act Senate Version Ayes


//////////// Union Confederacy
House 281 of 303 (90%) 8 of 102 (8%)
Senate 72 of 78 (92%) 1 of 22 (5%)




But what happens when we control for both party affiliation and region? As Sean Trende noted earlier this year, "sometimes relationships become apparent only after you control for other factors".

1964 Civil Rights Act Senate Version Ayes

///////////// Dems/Union GOP Union Dems Confederacy GOP Confederacy
House 144 of 152 (95%) 137 of 161 (85%) 8 of 91( 9%) 0 of 11 (0%)
Senate 45 of 46 (98%) 27 of 32 (84%) 1 of 21 (5%) 0 of 1 (0%)

White Supremacy predates both Parties and the entire Country. So yes gaslighting 101 is pretending that the Democrats invented it.
 

looks like it exists; you just dont like talking about it.
Not the kind your ilk keep pedaling.

Racism isn't saying something you don't like. Nor is it pursuing policies that aid everyone and not just a minority.

It is not racist to demand you care for yourself, and take responsibility for yourself.

It is NOT racist that YOU cannot make it without the aid of the Whites.
