Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist

Who can ever forget the grand poohbah of the KKK and Senator Robert Byrd

Nobody, he is in the same boat with Thurmond and Helms.

 

[hadit]

Biden authorized 16 billion to HBCUs. Trump has shown you that he is a racist, so you can stop trying to give him credit for things that black legislators got passed.

TRUMP! made HBCU funding permanent, Quid Pro Joe did not, and did you really think I wouldn't notice that you utterly failed to prove anything I said was wrong?

You seem to forget that he was long gone from the KKK and denounced them before he became a Senator.

Byrd is no longer here. Trump is, and so are the many current Republican white supremacists in local, state, and federal law making capacities.

Another dishonest Republican post.

By the time this photo of Byrd and Biden was taken, Byrd’s public expressions of regret and shame over his earlier involvement in the KKK was well-documented and often-repeated.

Key Takeaways​

• Senator Robert Byrd once led a Ku Klux Klan chapter but called it his greatest mistake.
• Byrd regretted his early opposition to civil rights and later supported the NAACP's agenda.

In interviews with The Wall Street Journal and Slate magazine in 2002 and 2008, Byrd called joining the Klan “the greatest mistake I ever made.” To young people interested in becoming involved in politics, Byrd warned,

“Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena.”

In his autobiography, Byrd wrote that he had become a KKK member because he

“was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision—a jejune and immature outlook—seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions. ... I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened … it has emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarrass me and has taught me in a very graphic way what one major mistake can do to one’s life, career, and reputation.”

We hear no such regret from the current racists in the Republican Party.

The Democrat Party was founded by the KKK and Byrd was a Grand Dragon. And yet you still vote Democrat. By the way ... I'm not a Republican. Ironically, I took the "Black" Pill. Funny how things go full circle.

Anyway ... you're still on the plantation and seem to like it.

Fact:
Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) strongly opposed President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Civil Rights Act of 1964 and did not vote for it.
Early in his career, Senator Robert Byrd opposed major civil rights legislation, most notably filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for over 14 hours and voting against the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As a young man, he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, which he later renounced and called the "greatest mistake" of his life.
School Desegregation (1950s): Supported "Massive Resistance," a policy designed to close schools rather than integrate
1967 Supreme Court Nomination: Opposed the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court Justice.
Anti-Lynching Legislation: While in Congress in the 1950s, he maintained the segregationist stance that had earlier blocked federal anti-lynching
LGBTQ+ Rights: In 1993, Byrd strongly opposed President Clinton's efforts to allow gay individuals to serve in the military and later supported efforts to limit same-sex marriage.

It would not surprise me if in later investigations it was found Byrd funded the assassin James Earl Ray....

So? 100 years ago? Nobody cares. This is now. Teetering on deep state collapse. Live today. Look ahead young man, never backwards./_

Recent data indicates that the Democratic Party is experiencing a decline in support from both Black and Hispanic voters, rather than a total replacement of one group for the other. While Democrats still maintain a majority of support from both groups, the margin of advantage has shrunk to historic lows, with 2024 polling showing significant shifts toward Republican candidates.

Democrats Lose Ground With Black and Hispanic Adults

Gallup's party ID trends since 1999 show Democrats' advantages among Black and Hispanic adults shrinking to new lows, while men -- already in the Republicans' camp -- have moved even further in that direction.

And it's not terribly surprising, given the democrats' paternalistic contempt for minorities.
