Look it up. It was started by Democrats. This is just a historical fact. When Democrat President Woodrow Wilson was president, he used the KKK as his own Secret Service.
Oh yeah. Speaking of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson wrote the book that the movie "Birth of a Nation" was based on. THEN Wilson had a private viewing of the movie "Birth of a Nation" in the White House. Just in case you have never heard of that movie, it is about the start of the KKK and it is a pro-KKK movie.
The Republican Party was formed out of the Whig Party. There was a division in the Whig Party that caused it to collapse. That division was over slavery. The faction that was opposed to slavery formed their own party, the Republican Party. A few years later Abraham Lincoln was elected the first Republican president. The predominantly Democrat Southern states seceded from the country and then went to war because of Lincoln's efforts to stop them from leaving.
Republicans ended slavery. Democrats then imposed the Jim Crow laws that created separate bathrooms, separate drinking fountains and so on, to keep blacks away from Democrats.
Margaret Sanger, a Democrat, started Planned Parenthood with the goal of eliminating the black race through birth control and abortion. She called the project, "The Negro Project". She wanted to breed them out of existence in the country.
When Lyndon Johnson was president he said, "I'll keep those [N-words] voting Democrat for 100 years". How did he accomplish this? He started given money to the poor. Welfare. Then after he got the poor hooked on "free" money they told them that the Republicans want to take that money away from them. This is how they have been manipulating the poor for decades.
The majority of black were living at the poverty level so most of them got on the welfare rolls. For decades they manipulated black telling them that they couldn't make it in this country without them. They told them that the reason they were poor was because of racism and early on they were right. Racism has nearly completely fizzled out but the Dems need it to still exist. Without it they cannot manipulate poor blacks, poor Hispanics and poor whites. So they exaggerate it and have built an entire mythology about how racist America is. They even teach that whites are born racists.
Well... you probably won't read this either so I am just wasting my time.
