Google pictures of the floor most recent Democratic and Republican Political Convention. Look at the faces. You tell me who’s the most inclusive and who looks like they are likely to secretly burn a cross in the night.
True. And little has changed in the intervening years from antebellum till now.
The Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan, after being the South's principal slaveowners for a hundred years or more. Democrats still comprise the bulk of the Klan's membership (and leadership) today - a fact that has never changed. They work hard to conceal this fact.
And for decades (up to and including today) Democrats are the continual, chronic sponsors of legislation that promoted the idea that black people and other minorities, cannot make it without government help. But they promote no such programs for whites.
You're right: Today is far more important than the past. But the fact that the racism that permeates the Democrat party today, has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, counts too.
David Duke, former grand wizard of the KKK endorsed Trump as did his successor.
The original KKK was formed in Tennessee by a handful of Confederate veterans. It was one of many such groups at the time.
It was refounded in the early 1900’s with an expanded agenda; anti immigrant, anti Catholic, anti Semitic and pro prohibition.
Racism is alive and well in all political parties.

Being a minority does not exclude you from being a racist. They are the ones who have instituted anti-white racism with their affirmative action and double standards.
How many republican politicians can you recall who have been in black face or wore clan hoods?
Do you mean beyond the Grand Dragon who ran for the Republican Presidential nomination and didn't actually have to play dressup, as he owned the proper gear?
More right wing "I've been living under a rock for 50 years"' and fail to recognize that the GOP is NOW the party of racism in this country.
Exactly. Right wing conservatives represents the KKK always have, and still do you can tell by their deflections on everything someone else deems racist.

It never has been, and is not today.
You guys just make this crap up all the time. Repeating the same lies to yourselves and you eventually believe it.
Sorry, but it always has been the Democrats who are the racists. Even now, the race-centric groups like La Raza, are Democrat groups, not Republican.
It's idiotic to think the racist dems all suddenly all become card carrying Republicans, right after the dems failed to filibuster the Civil Rights and Voting Acts. There is no justification to even suggest this.
