PBS is saying the KKK was connected to the DEMS ..??
Oh my; this will be a revelation to a lot of people.
Hope the GOP is not too cowardly to point this out the next time we’re accused of being part of the KKK.
I’m not holding my breath .. okay.
Funny that the left will still hold the US responsible for racist “Americans original sin crap” but will not hold the Democrats responsible for being the party that promote and perpetuated it in the US...
Yes, surprise. Lot’s of people don’t realize that the Republican south was once the Dixiecrat south. Of course, since Lincoln was a Republican they were going to be Democrats. A lot has changed. Lincoln today would probably be a Democrat and appalled at recent attempts to disenfranchise poor black voters. Of course, in those days women didn’t have the vote either. Ah, change, got to love it.
No it won't. Most people know that the southern democrats left the democrat party because the democrat party implemented civil rights, voting rights, etc. In fact, LBJ once said that he/the dems had lost the south for 2 generations.
This was followed by Nixon's Southern Strategy to bring the south into the GOP.
