If there was no racism against Blacks, then why did this have to happen?

Nobody is saying racism never existed genius...the Marlin-Ella thing happened back in 1955 when racists/KKK were still quite prevalent in our country's population and who were they...dind ding ding...the survey says.... Democrats.

Just a lil piece of factual history, thought you might like to know since you seem to incorrectly think that there are people who believe racism didn't exist after the civilwar.

Another piece of factual history...did you know that in 1964(not1864) the Democrats filibustered the civilrights act???

And by the way I think what Marlin did for Ella was pretty cool and took alot of courage back then.

You haven't been reading all the comments from the white supremacists on this site. People have been saying there is no racism against African-Americans. That's what this meme is a response to.

Yes, I know all about the history behind the party name. But did YOU know that around the time of the civil rights act was when the Democrats started shifting and became more about reform? And the Dixiecrats broke party lines and moved in with the Republicans because they wanted things to be like they were in the 30's and 40's?

Are you going to deny that the Republican party is about white supremacy now so much that the KKK and neo nazis are aligning with Trump?
