And slave owners, but you can’t find many blacks who acknowledge that.

Democrats are so slimy, methinks even the Klan would reject them.

Last week Tucker Carlson was interviewing a Black Panthers founder. It was amazing hearing the Black Panther blasting Democrats for being racist and holding down black Americans. He accused Democrats of wanting to keep slavery, of Jim Crow laws, of the KKK, and went on and on. He said blacks were fools to vote Democrat. Tucker Carlson didn’t interrupt, and thanked him for setting the record straight!

“The “most racist” southerners “who imposed segregation, who imposed Jim Crow laws, who founded the Klan” were Democrats, Cruz charged...”

Charged? Politico uses the term “charged” as if it’s not historical fact.

[CommieCutter]

If the so called racist southerners suddenly voted demoNcrat again, we would not longer hear about racist southerners.

[Paine in the Neck]

These are not “charges.” These are FACTS.

The democrats fear Jeff Sessions. Jeff Sessions will go after criminals regardless of race, creed or political affiliation. The democrats fear of Jeff Sessions is well founded. They fear an honest attorney general with good cause. They are in danger as any other criminal is in danger.

[From The Deer Stand]

Democrats are the party of “The Hood,” keeping Blacks living in poor conditions with their decades of welfare (New Deal, Great Society) in exchange for votes. Democrats don’t care about having Blacks improve themselves because if they do they wise up and no longer vote for the “D” candidates. Obama has proven this by his inaction to help Blacks. In fact, every major city run by Liberals is a minority mess.

I'll be the contrarian....

The Republican obsession with "setting the record straight" about the KKK, racism, Jim Crown, slavery, and EVERYTHING else .........

HAS FAILED

Now it's just pathetic virtue signalling and the hallmark of the Cuckservative.

Silly and naive conservatives love to tout all the civil rights for Blacks they championed from the mid 1800s until the Eisenhower era.

Then the Democrats gave them welfare in the 60s and they never looked back.

Stop being obsessed with trying to increase the vote by a few percentage points for 12% of the population, which only alienates your own damn base.

As you probably know, during the Civil War and for years afterwards, Republicans were derisively called "Black Republicans" for their stance against slavery. The Lincoln Republicans envisioned a strong Federal government; whereas, the Southern states championed States rights. Prior to the Civil War, it was said the United States "are" rather than the United States "is". From what I've concluded; it was not so much a Northern/Southern thing (although, that certainly came into play), but more of a political view. Many men in the Southern states fought in the Union Army as well as some for the Confederacy, and many Northern men fought for the Confederate Army as well as the Union. Also, due to the slaves being counted as 3/5ths, the South (states rights proponents) was able have the majority of Representatives against the Federalist North. It was politics.

And really you know where their anger is directed, it's not at Republicans – their anger is directed at the American people."

No matter what we may think of Cruz for other things, when it comes to turning an effective phrase against those who would do the People wrong is an area where he is absolutely brilliant.
