Reparations

Which Party supported Progressive ideals now and back then. I'll wait.

You do realize the Republican party was formed in the 1850s specifically to end slavery. All the other atrocities I listed were created by democrats and even if some of them later opposed those actions, it still belongs to the party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)

The GOP was founded in 1854 by opponents of the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which had expanded slavery into U.S. territories. The party originally subscribed to classical liberalism and took ideological stands that were anti-slavery and pro-economic reform.[21][22] Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president in the history of the United States; under his leadership and the leadership of a Republican Congress, slavery was banned in the United States in 1865.

But wait there's more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Bedford_Forrest

Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877) was a Confederate Army general during the American Civil War. Although scholars admire Forrest as a military strategist, he has remained a highly controversial figure in Southern racial history, especially for his role in the massacre of black soldiers at Fort Pillow, his 1867–1869 leadership of the white-supremacist/terrorist Ku Klux Klan, and his political influence as a Tennessee delegate at the 1868 Democratic National Convention.

Before the war, Forrest had amassed substantial wealth as a cotton plantation owner, horse and cattle trader, real estate broker and slave trader.

The Klan, with Forrest at the lead, suppressed voting rights of blacks and Republicans in the South through violence and intimidation during the elections of 1868.

The Union victory in the Civil War in 1865 may have given some 4 million slaves their freedom, but the process of rebuilding the South during the Reconstruction period (1865-1877) introduced a new set of significant challenges. Under the administration of President Andrew Johnson in 1865 and 1866, new southern state legislatures passed restrictive “black codes” to control the labor and behavior of former slaves and other African Americans. Outrage in the North over these codes eroded support for the approach known as Presidential Reconstruction and led to the triumph of the more radical wing of the Republican Party. During Radical Reconstruction, which began in 1867, newly enfranchised blacks gained a voice in government for the first time in American history, winning election to southern state legislatures and even to the U.S. Congress. In less than a decade, however, reactionary forces–including the Ku Klux Klan–would reverse the changes wrought by Radical Reconstruction in a violent backlash that restored white supremacy in the South.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_era

When President Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, was assassinated at the end of the Civil War, Vice President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat from Tennessee and former slave holder, became President. Johnson favored rapid measures to bring the South back into the Union, allowing the southern states to determine the rights of former slaves. Radical Republicans in Congress sought stronger, federal measures to upgrade the rights of African Americans, including the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, while curtailing the rights of former Confederates...

...Elected in 1868, Republican President Ulysses S. Grant supported Congressional Reconstruction and enforced the protection of African Americans in the South through the use of the Enforcement Acts passed by Congress. Grant used the Enforcement Acts to effectively combat the Ku Klux Klan, which was essentially wiped out,

... public support for Reconstruction policies, requiring continued supervision of the South, faded in the North after the Democrats, who strongly opposed Reconstruction, regained control of the House of Representatives in 1874. In 1877, as part of a Congressional bargain to elect Republican Rutherford B. Hayes as president following the disputed 1876 presidential election, U.S. Army troops were withdrawn from the three states (South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida) where they still remained. This marked the end of Reconstruction.

Theophilus Eugene Connor (July 11, 1897 – March 10, 1973), known as Bull Connor, was an American politician who served as an elected Commissioner of Public Safety for the city of Birmingham, Alabama, for more than two decades. He strongly opposed activities of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s...

...Bull Connor directed the use of fire hoses and police attack dogs against civil rights activists;...

...During the 1948 Democratic National Convention, Connor led the Alabama delegation in a walkout when the national party included a civil rights plank in its platform....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark civil rights and labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964, the "Southern Bloc" of 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage.[

tl:dr

But nice dodging of the question.

The answer to your original question, given the context, the republicans. The democrats were the slave owners party, created the kkk, enacted segregation, opposed civil rights etc etc. The multiple answers were simply to back that up as from your question I assumed you were ignorant of history..

Good. And today?

You're missing the point of the meme. Don't give me this bs about dodging your question. It is irrelevant. Furthermore the republicans are not today or in the past a party of oppression, just because you may disagree with some of their policies. I don't think you can name a single issue today that is of the same import as slavery was and which doesn't have a logical counter argument.

Ahhh... so you refuse to answere. Tell me. Why is that? Is it because perhaps the answere to the question is "The Democrats"? Probably. Have a good day

So pushing tax payer paid abortion centers to keep the black population in check, allowing illegal immigrants to become the new plantation slaves, running around insuring everyone is labeled and segregated, ignoring and trying to cover up history, and tampering with elections is "progressive"? Hmmm... that's a new one on me.

Sure. If you want to paint it that way, I can say:

The Republicans really hate refugees and following International law. They made tax cuts to the rich and corporations and care not for the desire of the common man. They are warmongering morons who want to sell guns to school shooters.

Your statement has exactly the same amount of truth in it. That is to say very little (Corporate Tax cut and Abortion Clinic)

The facts don't substantiate any of your statements and you're starting to talk in circles so I'm not going to bother with you. Have another sip of that liberal koolade and enjoy your ignorant bliss.

Very well. If you insist your opinion is fact. Have a nice day.

I did answer your question - you have to actually read the reply to find what it is.

Is it your position then, that the democrat party does not owe reparations for what it did because of other things it has done that ameliorate slavery? If so, why then should anyone of lesser or no guilt in the matter be expected to pay reparations?

My question was who were the Progressives, Now and back then. Which the Answere to would have been Demicrats and Republicans respectively. In no way is launching into a rant about every bad thing the Dems have done an answere to my question

How do you know he dodged the question if you didn't read it?

I read the first part and it became obvious that he didn't answere my question. Due to the fact that his reply was multiple comments long, I dudnt bother to read more
