The Democratic Party was the conservative party when the KKK was founded in 1865. The Republicans were the Liberal party that kept the union together and freed the slaves. A hundred years later the two parties swapped ideologies. Today the conservative party still owns the KKK.
Deal with it.
Endless brands within every political party, then and now. The Southern Democrat was one brand that permeated in the South. It was primarily responsible for state and local Jim Crow Laws.
It broke from the Democrat party in the late 40’s and formed the short- lived Dixiecrats to oppose Truman’s goal of desegregation. A more serious break came when many voted for Goldwater and did so because Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act.
Then came the “ Southern Strategy” employed by the RNC and Goldwater/ Nixon to flip states. Some 40 years later, in 2005, then RNC chair publicly apologized for these strategies at the NAACP’s annual meeting in Milwaukee.
The KKK was initially formed by Confederate Veterans to ensure white supremacy. Generally speaking, it was anti- Catholic and opposed unions. Given the geography, it’s likely most members identified as Southern Democrats. That is not the same thing as being formed by the DNC.
welp...he's done. That has to be some sort of record.
"Biden took a lead role in the fight, speaking out repeatedly and forcefully against sending white children to majority-black schools and black children to majority-white schools. He played down the persistence of overt racism and suggested that the government should have a limited role in integration."
"I do not buy the concept, popular in the '60s, which said, 'We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and the white man is now far ahead in the race for everything our society offers. In order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start, or even hold the white man back, to even the race,' " Biden told a Delaware-based weekly newspaper in 1975. "I don't buy that."

Your topic headline is a lie. The Democratic Party did not found the KKK. The KKK was started by disgruntled Southerners after the Civil War. While it’s possible that some of its members could have been Democrats, there was no, I repeat, no organization of the KKK by the Democratic Party.

great response but not what trumplican nationalists want to hear
Prove that Biden's stance in the 1970s was not common among members of both parties.
We'll wait.
I don't have to prove anything. Biden made these statements. You're defending them. Did you read any of them? You know, where he talks of " the White man"? Close your eyes and be transported back to the 1850s.
If Biden had "R" after his name you'd be demanding his head.
As a note, I don't think the statements should disqualify him exactly, although he did make them as an elected official and not as a college thing like Ralph Northam.
I do however, do believe that his being a walking gaffe machine, as well as being an idiot ("Fire a warning shot") should be disqualifying.

Senator Byrd the klan recruiter who got all his buddies to join up was a dem. George Wallace the huge bigot was a dem. He would have won the democratic nomination for president until he got shot. The left has always been the party of the klan and always will. Own it.

Why should it disqualify him? He told the truth back then.
As a brown minority and a long time supporter of the democratic party in the pass, was shocked to find out about the democratic party's racist history.
1. Klu Klux Klan was created by democrats
2. During the 1924 Democratic national convention held at Madison Square Garden in New York, the most powerful bloc in the Democratic Party was the Ku Klux Klan.
3. Former Democratic governor of Alabama, George Wallace and his Ku Klux Klan buddies, ran on a platform of racial segregation. His inaugural speech concluded with the infamous line, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
4.Hillary Clinton's mentor is Robert Byrd, was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter.
Folks, it's in the bloodline of the democratic party, this is why Northam and his buddy wore black face and
why Northam wore a Klan hoodie.
Just look what's happening now with Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour
David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the KKK, defends Omar and calling her the "most important
member of the US congress". The hypocrisy of the liberal media not calling her out on this and not denouncing this support from a KKK, but when it's on the other side, you never hear the end of it from the liberal media.

It's pathetic that people have to keep reminding liars that they are lying.
What is the over/under for the next right wing nut job posting that the KKK = Democrats? A week? 2 Weeks?
How many black people have been tricked into voting for the GOP by this? Zero.
