R.I.P. Viola Fletcher, 1914-2025, you've probably never heard her story, but you should memorize it... | Viola Fletcher was 7 years old when the racists came. It was May 31, 1921, in Tulsa's Greenwood neighborhood, a thriving Black enclave known as Black Wall Street. White mobs, fueled by envy and racial hatred, descended with guns and torches. They killed 300 people, torched more than 1,200 homes and businesses, and left a community in ruins. Post-Civil War pogroms led by white Democrats scarred Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898; Atlanta in 1906; Chicago in 1919. In each case, white Democrat perpetrators looted and murdered with impunity, their crimes whitewashed from textbooks and public memory. No federal prosecutions followed. BLM protesters burned 5 miles of Minority owned Business Streets in Minneapolis alone during the Summer of Mostly Peaceful Racism. The more things change, the more they remain the same. | image tagged in blm riots | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Wikipedia is still "white" washing who the perps were 104 years later, the "white mobs" weren't made up of members of the political party formed to end slavery and who had the political will to fight a Civil War to end slavery. The "White Mobs" were made up of the party on record in favor of slavery- the Democrats.

Uh, no. If you have to read history in 144 word blocks, it will take some time, but do it for your own edification. Democrats have always been the party of slavery from the founding of the United States. The Republican Party was formed as an anti-slavery movement. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President after only their second election cycle. Defeated Democrats formed the KKK after the Civil War to intimidate free slaves. Those are just the facts.
To accuse another party of what you have done is a communist tactic. So is the abuse of "useful idiots."
Look up the Cultural Revolution in China. Mao imprisoned and killed doctors, professors engineers and other intellectuals who supported his revolution. Why? Because they were the greatest threat to his dictatorship, they were traitors enough to overthrow the government of Chine, they were proven to be traitors enough to overthrow him. That's just the truth. Consider your probable future as you repeat the communist party line. Lies kill, in the communist party they kill the followers.
