The confederate flag is a democrat flag.

He absolutely should have a confederate flag draped over his casket, to showcase the irony and ignorance Democrats have about their own political party.

This liberal fanatic proceeds mechanically down the same path of fibs that the always do, with the same complete lack of evidence or proof.

It is quite clear to anyone that the roles of the parties with regards to race have been totally flipped. It is today's Republican Party which is racist and bigoted. The only thing that stayed the same is that many white southerners are bigots regardless of what party they affiliate with. It is they who make a party racist.
Democrats are still far more racist than Republicans. The core belief of Democrats when it comes to race is that minorities are incapable of succeeding without government intervention. The very thought of an individual who isn’t white voting for anyone but a Dem candidate sends Democrats into meltdown mode, resulting in name calling and degradation of the individual’s character. We’ve seen over and over again the evidence that Democrats, contrary to what they say, still believe that they “own” black people. Joe Biden even said it out loud when he stated that a black person who didn’t vote for him wasn’t really black.

Neither party is good at addressing minority issues.

The Democrats work just hard enough at it to get the minority vote in the next election while also counting on the Republicans to shoot themselves in the foot; which they do on a regular basis.

The Republican Party just doesn't seem to give a damn.

Yet he continued his nonviolent demonstrations in favor of ending segregation.

On March 7, 1965 at the Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, AL, armed police from the city, sent by Democrat mayor Joe Smitherman, and armed Alabama state troopers sent by Democrat governor George Wallace attacked unarmed, peaceful marchers including Lewis, and brutally beat many of them. One man was killed, and Lewis suffered a fractured skull.

Lewis spent much of his youth organizing and participating in peaceful marches, opposing the Democrat leaders who kept sending police to attack and assault the marchers repeatedly.

Later in his life, Lewis believed the story that Democrats only wanted to help black people, joined the party, and supported and voted repeatedly for big-government far and wide, including welfare programs that rewarded mothers for having children out of wedlock and contributed to the breakup of many poor families black and white, and the poverty resulting directly from it.

Whether Lewis's heroic behavior during the 1960s and beyond, made up for the damage his votes and support did in later periods up to the present, remains debatable.

Back then you had Democrats, and Dixiecrats.

Lewis didn't try to hurt anybody or destroy anything during his marches, unlike the Democrats now rioting in city after city. Now it's the cops who are unable to stop the violence and destruction, due to the orders they get from Democrat mayors and governors cowering in their offices.
