Shades of dem senator robert byrd, KKK recruiter and speaker of the house!"History shows that the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party. This ugly fact about the Democrat Party is detailed in the book, A Short History of Reconstruction, (Harper & Row Publishers, Inc., 1990) by Dr. Eric Foner, the renown liberal historian who is the DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University."Imagine Dem senators passing a partisan bill by nuclear option that placed a yoke of burden on the entire country and then exempted themselves! Dem history is one of pro slavery. A repu uses rhetoric to make a point and the not so reformed dems call foul.
I find it amazing how little modern kids, especially black kids, know about this. Then again many adults today are clueless. The trouble of course is that it is not taught in schools, and people such as Sharpton & Jackson make them believe the (D's) have always been on their side, with one (R) exception, that being Lincoln. Then they even have the nerve to say Lincoln would be a (D) back in the day if compared with (R's) of today.
You are either not aware of, or deliberately ignoring, the virtual switching of party ideals that happened around the end of the 19th century/beginning of the 20th. The Democrats back then were the equivalent of the Republicans today.
This is pointed out in high school history class. If you don't believe me, Google around.
What an absurd notion. HS history class is what liberal educators make it, and that typically equates to revisionist history(i.e. brainwashing). It is even worse on most college campuses.Just because (R's) do not champion the social programs/welfare state and perpetual white guilt over slavery, they are demonetized by the liberal media. That does not make them the KKK, of which most members were (D's) politically. Heck the ones still around claim to be Blue Dog Democrats for life. They will never forgive Lincoln nor the (R's) for bringing the scourge of carpetbaggers upon them.
Simply counting Democrats vs. Republicans, instead of trying to dilute them by irrelevant references to location:
Why, because only a simpleton or the most intellectually mendacious (see revisionist Republicans) would try to claim that regional inter-party differences in racial policies is irrelevant in light of the 150 year history of American racial politics.

It is hysterically funny how Republicans return to the Robert Byrd whipping boy, but forget about Howard "Bo" Callaway, Jesse Helms, Trent Lott, Albert Watson, Strom Thurmond, Rubel Phillips, Jerry Falwell. Or Republican KKK members like Sen. Rice W. Means (Co), Governors Edward L. Jackson, (IN) Clarence Morley(CO).
