The Truth hurts (Midterm edition)

Did you seriously try to say that Democrats didn't create the Confederacy? Of all things to lie about...

no, liberals did not. Dems were conservatives. conservatives of the time called themselves Democrats, that part is true. the lie is to say those conservatives Dems were libs.

They're not putting political opponents in jail?

No, criminals. Seditious Conspirators. It's not our fault they are part of a seditious party!! I thought you guys liked putting political opponents in jail?! Remember 'lock her up?' oops...I forgot about the hypocritical double standard.

Yes, it is... and yes they are doing that with their show trial...

Nothing but scare tactics from the Demonrats , but they have epically failed us for the last 2 years

Do you think himans having sex with animals is "hot"?

And you claim to lately live in TEXAS? Only THE most racist state in America, and only topped by Louisiana and Florida in terms of corruption?

After Obama's 2nd term began, no doubt they gave up and signed - thanks to the GOP, of course *wink*

Um, yeah....no.
"Diversity and inclusion is imperative across all institutions including media. In order to progress we must change. This is exactly why I'm being intentional about prioritizing media requests from POC reporters on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of my inauguration as mayor of this great city."

In other words, she don't like whitey

She also, apparently doesn't like blackie either...she keeps allowing them to be killed in droves in her village

No, in my estimation, that would be Illinois. Specifically, Chicago and it's racist mayor

Um, no.

Exactly

wrong image used

no, but they will upvote making fun of you asking the questions they simply cant answer.

Given the fact that your party created the KKK I find it ironic that you’re taking the time to explain how Lincoln’s flaws somehow erase his legacy as the great emancipator. Does the fact that your party invented the KKK to kill African American Republicans enter into your calculus at all?

Watched Levin last night and there's more. Grant sent the military down to crush the brand new KKK. However when Democrats took back the Legislative Branch, they stop Grant and future attempts at crushing the KKK. Also things like Brow v. Board of Education happened because of Democrat policy.

Their racist history is undeniable...

When the Democrats were unsuccessful in their efforts to block Republican legislative efforts to help African Americans they founded the Ku Klux Klan. In 1872, the Democrats admitted forming the organization as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party in the South.

-Fact check: Democratic Party did not found the KKK, did not start the Civil War

Historians agree that although factions of the Democratic Party did majorly contribute to the Civil War's start and the KKK's founding, it is inaccurate to say the party is responsible for either.

This is not a new argument
Princeton University Edwards Professor of American History Tera Hunter told USA TODAY that this trope is a fallback argument used to discredit current Democratic Party policies.

Comedian Trevor Noah tackled the misleading trope on an episode of "The Daily Show" in March 2016, after two CNN contributors debated the topic.

“Every time I go onto Facebook I see these things: ‘Did you know the Democrats are the real racist party and did you know the Republicans freed the slaves?’” Noah joked. “A lot of people like to skip over the fact that when it comes to race relations, historically, Republicans and Democrats switched positions.”

A similar meme attributing the claim to U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson has been circulating on social media since November 2016.

“Who started the KKK? That was Democrats. Who was the party of slavery? Who was the part of Jim Crow and segregation? Who opposed the Civil Rights Movement? Who opposed voting rights? It was all the Democrats,” the meme reads.

Other posts making more specific claims about the Democratic Party starting the Civil War or founding the KKK continue to circulate.

This trope was rated false by PolitiFact and the Associated Press in October 2018.

“The short answer is that the Democratic Party did not start the Civil War,” Hunter said. “The war was initiated by Southern slaveholding states seceding from the United States.”

Jon Grinspan , the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History curator of political and military history, agreed.

“A splinter of a splinter of a Democratic Party really contributed to the secession and the coming of the war,” he told USA TODAY. “It would be wrong to say the Democratic Party started the Civil War. It would be right to say some Democrats really contributed to the start of the Civil War.”

Grinspan pointed to the small group of Northern Democrats that fought for the Union as evidence that the Civil War was not Dems vs Republicans.

Yes. It's called History.

No, not if you don't want to accept what it teaches you.

History is the best source of learning you'll ever find. But you'll have to WANT to learn.

Except that history contradicts your false assertion, hence why you and the other (4?) here making the claim have all failed to provide even a revisionist far right fanfic blog link on the subject.

they cant provide that what does not exist. the replies, or lack thereof, prove that....

Source?

Didn't think so

Democrat leaders have supported the KKK and the organization have said they sought to take down republican leaders. Democratic sources have said so.

I didn't know America had a PM... WOW!

Actually we do. Biden is Pervert Molester. . .oh, wait. . .

Their main objective with these comments is to harass me... They are that triggered...
