If this isn’t just blatant LYING PROPAGANDA masquerading as objective journalism, ....
It’s like they don’t want to remember democrats were the founders of the KKK. That the KKK was established to terrorize blacks and white Republicans in the south.
That without Republicans giving Johnson the majority of the votes for the civil rights act, because the democrats wanted segregation and jim crow laws to continue, it wouldn’t have passed.
They ignore it wasn’t republicans that passed segregation and jim crow laws, and poll taxes on blacks.
It wasn’t Republicans that passed laws that blacks couldn’t own firearms for self defense, especially against the KKK.
Wasn’t Republicans that ran on separate but equal platforms as foundations of their party platforms.
Wasn’t Republicans that burned crosses on lawns of blacks.
Wasn’t Republicans blocking doors and keeping blacks out of “white” schools.
Wasn’t Republicans using government force to unleash the never-do-anything-wrong police with guns, clubs, mace, fire hoses, armored vehicles, and arrest powers, on black and white civil rights protestors.
we have state slavery now, under Obama and the Democrats
