Back to the original subject: It's post #33 and I still don't see a clip or link to a clip of him saying "Let's make America white again." Did he bloody say it or not?
And I can't stand him.
As I understand it the person was facetiously claiming he heard Trump say that, insinuating that that is what Trump indended to say.
This is what most conservatives Say today when bring up the KKK.
The KKK was founded by Democrats, and therefore it is Democrats, not Republicans, who are racists. Not only is the attempt to connect the KKK to the modern Democratic party a dubious one, a many studies says that the KKK has had a large hand in reshaping the politics of the south, putting southerners solidly in the GOP camp.The KKK was instrumental in switching southern voters from Democrats to Republicans, beginning in the 1960s. The KKK’s influence over southern politics has clearly continued into the 21st century.
How this all happen was:
There were ten southern states where the KKK was actively recruiting during the 1960’s. Looking at the county voting records, the presidential elections between 1960 and 2000, counties with active KKK chapters showed a “statistically significant increase in Republican voting compared to counties with no established KKK chapter. In 1992 election, those who held conservative attitudes about race were more likely to vote Republican, but only in counties where the KKK had maintained an organized presence during the 1960’s This has definitely continued into the 21st century. The after effects are real
This "southern strategy" myth has been consistently debunked. The south became Republican because of non-racial matters such as religion, capitalism, industrialization, states' rights, etc. I'd bet any remaining KKK members are happy that The Left is keeping blacks in a state of dependency like they were during slavery.
Too many liberals have been trashing the United States for YEARS and suddenly they wonder out loud when America stopped being great?.
Obama's world wide apology tour. Our white privilege. Racist cops. Racist conservatives. The need for safe spaces for our delicate flowers. The 1% and the 99% and evil capitalists. Our decreasing academic test scores and our not having universal healthcare and our wage disparity between men and women (and our hatred of women in general) and why can't we have a years' maternity leave like those wonderful Scandinavian countries??
The wealthy should pay their fare share, and burger flippers deserve $15 an hour, and we have military industrial complexes and prison industrial complexes, and socialism-good and democracy-bad because with socialism we'll all be equal.
Now all of a sudden some liberals want to know when America stopped being great. Not because they really believe that America is great (their self-loathing won't allow them to acknowledge that the country that MILLIONS of foreigners aspire to live in is actually great) - but because it is now simply one more mindless talking point to throw out to Trump supporters. And because "when did America stop being great?" started with Hillary Clinton saying it last week and rubes on the Internet (or rubes being paid to skulk around forums such as this one) picked up on it.
Not. An. Original. Thought. In. Their. Heads.
Your ramblings aside, when did America stop being great?
And the Trumpster is lighting the match and fanning the flames.

At the time of Ulysses S. Grant's election to the presidency, white supremacists were conducting a reign of terror throughout the South. In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power.
..
Racist activity in the South often took the form of riots that targeted blacks and Republicans.
..
But first and foremost, the Klan sought to do away with Republican influence in the South by terrorizing and murdering its party leaders and all those who voted for it.
Let's talk about post 1960, George Wallace and the southern strategy.

That's crap. It's been the conservatives whining and crying and ringing their hands for the past 8 years, lamenting the good old days of the 1950's. So tired of hearing their worn out complaints.
How about own it for a change.
Hell, even the Republican frontrunner is a negative whiner.
Someone on the Kelly files on FOX just said that he can't vote for Trump ever since he heard that Trump said "Let's make America white again." LOL! Too funny!
