Amazing how the Democrats and the crooked media accuse republicans of racism and bigotry when the Democratic party was founded by racists and bigots.

Ku Klux Klan - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com

Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.

From 1867 onward, African-American participation in public life in the South became one of the most radical aspects of Reconstruction, as blacks won election to southern state governments and even to the U.S. Congress. For its part, the Ku Klux Klan dedicated itself to an underground campaign of violence against Republican leaders and voters (both black and white) in an effort to reverse the policies of Radical Reconstruction and restore white supremacy in the South. They were joined in this struggle by similar organizations such as the Knights of the White Camelia (launched in Louisiana in 1867) and the White Brotherhood. At least 10 percent of the black legislators elected during the 1867-1868 constitutional conventions became victims of violence during Reconstruction, including seven who were killed. White Republicans (derided as “carpetbaggers” and “scalawags”) and black institutions such as schools and churches—symbols of black autonomy—were also targets for Klan attacks.

By 1870, the Ku Klux Klan had branches in nearly every southern state. Even at its height, the Klan did not boast a well-organized structure or clear leadership. Local Klan members–often wearing masks and dressed in the organization’s signature long white robes and hoods–usually carried out their attacks at night, acting on their own but in support of the common goals of defeating Radical Reconstruction and restoring white supremacy in the South. Klan activity flourished particularly in the regions of the South where blacks were a minority or a small majority of the population, and was relatively limited in others. Among the most notorious zones of Klan activity was South Carolina, where in January 1871 500 masked men attacked the Union county jail and lynched eight black prisoners.

Boring. The same old lie, the one that doesn't mention that the racist Democrats all become Republicans.

Conservatives were the racists. Conservatives are the racists. And Roudy is running cover for them, by lying about who the racists are.

 

[Dalia]

True, Democrats are false people, hypocrites, they are especially ostriches.
CNN represents this vision of loosers.

 

[Roudy]

point where I said Conservatives aren't racists. Democratic Party was founded by racists and bigots. Deal with it.

How could it mention something that is fiction?

 

[Roudy]

Democrats are still still racists and bigots, dividing this country along racial, ethnic, and economic lines in order to expand their party. They pretend they care for America but in reality they hate everything it stands for. Just like Obama did for 8 years.

We all know the history, and where they moved to as a result of the civil rights movement. One party down, one to go.

Who's we? You and the voices in your head?

 

[mamooth]

Who's we? You and the voices in your head?

So what other openly revisionist history are you going to try to push?

And who, other than your fellow cultists, do you expect to fall for it?

He's a liberal the voices in his head are part of the multiple personality/schizoid ideation required to believe the crap put out by the MSM

Not my problem you can't handle the facts.

Prager University isn't a University at all. It was founded by David Prager to put out short videos for the Right Wingers. Nothing more. Yes, it's listed as a non profit but not as an educational entity. It's part of the right wing political machine. Since it only does the short videos then it can be a non profit solely financed by a small group of ultra right wingers. There isn't a shred of truth in anything coming out of Prager University.

Then why not support getting minorities off welfare?

 

[WillMunny]

Politically correct liberals are certainly the most condescending racists; they see minorities as helpless, child-like inept victims who need White Daddy to hold their hand through life. In other words, they see minorities as objects of pity, not adult equals.

The Democrats must also think that today's Germans are Nazis and today's Japanese are kamakai pilots.
The truth is that Democrats are despicable racist demagogues who stoke the flames of hate and fear for votes.

That wasn't truly lame. It's status as a university, designation as a ni profit, or the length of the videos have nothing to do with the accuracy of the videos. Try again.
