>> In 1924, the group convinced Republican Party leaders to avoid criticizing them, prompting Time to put Evans on its cover.[94] That year, the Klan supported Calvin Coolidge in his successful candidacy for president of the U.S.[95] Although Coolidge opposed many key Klan platforms, with the exception of immigration restrictions and prohibition, he was the only major-party candidate who did not condemn them.[96] Nonetheless, Evans declared Coolidge's victory a great success for the Klan.[96] Although Republican leaders refrained from attacking the Klan, they were hesitant to support candidates promoted by the group*.[97] Significant discussion of the Klan also took place at the Democratic Party's convention;[98] senator and Democratic presidential primary nominee Oscar Underwood decried them as "a national menace".[94] <<
* (except of course for the motley crew pictured above....which include a mayor, a Senator, a state party boss, and four governors one of whom went on to be another Senator, a Congressman and a lifelong ally of Joe McCarthy....)
Oopsles.
We should however take a moment to note that in the OP article (which is totally not lying at all because the Democratic Party really did hold its convention on a set of wet trolley tracks in Wisconsin a month after the election), the name "Oscar Underwood" is misspelled as "Forney Johnston". A simple typo. Anyone could have done it, if they're typing with their ass.

Nope.
Which is why the KKK at the Republican National Convention supported Goldwater in 1964

I guess so...there are good schools in CA but the subject matter is sometimes suspect. As you grow and learn you can find your own truth but it's hard.

You know, the reason that Blacks supported the Republican party all the way back when is because Lincoln freed the slaves and they got the right to vote.
However....in the ensuing years, Republicans tried to limit their right to vote, especially in the Southern states.
The reasons that Blacks support the Democrat party now is because of LBJ and his going after the African American vote and his support for Civil Rights and MLK.

Nope- another lie- Hugo Black was a former KKK member- who quit in 1925.
KKK’s official newspaper supports Donald Trump for president

That is one hell of a speaker, who can be that persuasive eleven years after he's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisibule.
Apparently he was cleverly disguised as "Oscar Underwood". Those zombies are so smart.
Just when you think PC couldn't get anymore retarded.
From experience i never underestimate how retarded PC can get.
Actually lots of racism is very specific.
Racism towards African Americans was historically more focused and intense in the South- while racism towards Chinese and Japanese was more focused and intense on the West Coast, racism towards Mexican Americans along the Southern border, etc.
And yeah- it tends to be fairly specific among people too. White Americans are not racists towards other white Americans- if they are racists, they are racists towards other races.

Do you always twist yourself into knots? Why not just say it the way I did?
Actually the black vote had already shifted to the Democrats in the 1930s. But no question LBJ cleared the bases and intensified it.
That would be the same LBJ who minced no words condemning the Klan, by name, without ever resorting to a phrase like "on many sides", thus becoming the first POTUS to prosecute the Klan since Grant.

Since my child just graduated from public high school in California, frankly, you are just wrong.
They are taught about it in both middle school and high school.
But yes- I will admit- they are taught from the perspective that
a) The Confederacy was established to protect slavery and that
b) That slavery is wrong.
Again ---- there's no evidence any of the founders had a political party ---- which did not exist in that time and place anyway. Prove me wrong.
That is, we assume you mean the political party, which as a proper name gets a capital letter, and not "people who believe in democracy" --- which is what you actually wrote.
