You mean you're making sure your own partisanship is not forgotten. If this were about history, you would have posted it in the history section and not used it to pat yourself on the back about how good one party is and how bad the other one is. 150 years is a long time and no matter who is to blame for what happened then, it's not like things have not changed in the mean time.
Its FACT, not propaganda, that Republicans ended Slavery against Democrat wishes. Period, end of story. You'll have to live with that. You can try to defelect it, but its not sticking on my wall.
Your party has a very dark past when it comes to race. Unless your a time traveler, and can go back and change the past, it is what it is....racist!
I don't particularly agree with reparations but I will say the US government has engaged in policies to segregate and discriminate against African Americans up to at least the 1960s. Plenty of folks are still around from that era. Plus a case could be made that these centuries of oppression has denied modern African Americans wealth such as land and investments they would have otherwise inherited if the US didn't engage in such policies. I don't think political parties should have to carry the burden of past policies and philosophies as they constantly change with the times. No one is denying the Republican party is primarily responsible for ending slavery, I just take issue that this has any bearing on the modern political landscape.
Right wingers don't feel as much guilt as the Liberals do because we did the right thing, and Libs didn't. That is why the Libs still have so much guilt about it and want the Confederate monuments torn down, so that everyone will forget that they resisted setting the slaves free. Dems/Libs are trying to erase their ugly past.
Let's also add that more Republicans than Democrats, as a percent, voted for Civil Rights too. So should we start tearing down all the MLK statues and renaming all the MLK Blvds' so the Dems can erase that too?
No wonder Dr. King was said to be a Republican (by his own family members).
History is on the side of Republicans, and the Dems/Libs have been trying to erase history and call Republicans racists to bamaboozle Americans who don't know their history.
Never fear, I'm here to keep the record intact, and remind people every time a significant historical date arises...like today.
What a shame it will be when the statues are all gone and racist southerners will have to find a new way to taunt blacks. Most high school grads know what the 2 parties were like in 1850 and that has absolutely zero to do with anything today when the average MAGA goober would have rode with J. W. Booth.
Trump is not the "real deal" in fact Trump has been a Dem longer than a Republican. He did what most politicians would do and changed parties according to how it would best benefit him.

Southerners don't taunt blacks. That's just something you made up because you don't care about the truth. Sleazy

Except you have no proof of this. Not that you care about the truth.

FDR the bigots, bigot, threw over 100,000 Japanese Americans in jail without due process, based on ethnicity. He did it to thousands of Germans, Jews, and Italians. Own your partys racist history.
