As a History person, I don't disagree with you because I know. But don't act like Republicans weren't apart of the KKK and it's existence as well.
But I seriously doubt you know what you're talking about other than what you've heard what conservatives have spilled. Because I can school you on your argument and you would sound befuddled.
There was 3 Different Eras of the KKK:
The
Original one, Civil War Era KKK that was largely Democrats, that General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the First Grand Dragon of, that was formed, like the Crips Gang, if you know that history, as something that was beneficial to the people. And according to history, a Mayor once raised the taxes 3x what it originally was, and they chased and ran him out of town. And so the next town over, thought it was a good idea, and they also did the same thing and ran their own mayor over.
Later on, they started doing some off the wall stuff like killings and lynchings and was quickly disbanded by General Forrest.
The
Second One was during the Prohibition Era, where Whites couldn't get jobs because Blacks were their rivals for these jobs and as a way to scare them out of town, they would dress in sheets because Blacks were afraid of ghosts. It preached the same thing as the first one. Unity, etc. And it has the same standpoint as the GOP, a hard right stance.
Still, it got out of hands like every good intention like the Crips and soon it faded away after World War II. This group was mixed between Republicans and Democrats.
The
Third One and one you see today, started during the Civil Rights Era. And this group was the worse of the bunch. Now whether you like it or not, this group was the "conservative" one. The Republican led one. The one that did the lynchings. All the heinous things you saw during modern history. That's right, this group was like the Nazis, just like fascists, just like republicans, they are swung on a hard right stance.
So please Believe_N_Me, tell me something you didn't hear from pundits on TV and actually have clear knowledge on? I wanna say President McKinley was knighted by the KKK in the White House and he was a republican. Yet like true typical GOP form, let's not acknowledge the truth and blame others.
Just like they blamed the Milwaukee Jewish Center Shooter because he was a Democrat. But funny part was, when he ran as a Democrat, he actually got less votes than after he switched to a Republican and actually got more votes. A little known fact that Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and them don't want you to know.
SO WHO'S REALLY THE RACIST?Nonetheless, the KKK was erected by Democrats. Notice how I did not say the Democratic Party, I said Democrats. Liberal Democrats continue to be the biggest racists to breathe. They've been baiting minorities for years while keeping them poor. Just look at cities like Detroit and Chicago where large Black communities exist. Both cities have been under Democratic control for years but the only rich Democrats are white. The Blacks are extremely impoverished. It's absurd that Blacks would try to blame Republicans who practically don't exist in those two cities. Milwaukee is another Democratic shiithole. And what do you know? Large Black community there, too, that keeps voting Democrat.
