The Democrats are the champions of the working man (and woman), the downtrodden, the persecuted, and the minorities as they fight the Republicans who are mainly wealthy white racists. At least that’s the line they would like you to believe. It’s all lies of course, and except for those who are abysmally stupid or completely brainwashed, the Democrats know it.
What you may not know is that the Ku Klux Klan was founded by and for the Democrats. The video below reveals some shocking details.
This video highlights some of the most surprising historical facts about the Democratic party, from defending slavery and starting the civil war, to founding the KKK.
Professor of political science at Vanderbilt University Carol Swain counters the common narrative that the Democratic party stands for racial equality and civil rights.
Infowars has warned the American people about the true background of the Democratic party for years.
And never one to mince words, “President Trump proved he knows his history when he slammed the Democrats on the campaign trail calling them, ‘The party of slavery.'”
This is a pretty powerful video, and well worth your time to view.
Now the next time one of your Democrat friends claims that racism has its home among Republicans, you’ve got a five-minute video to point them to. Ask them to come back for a chat after viewing it.

You do know that the KKK and every Conservative was a Democrat until the Democrat President signed the Civil Rights Act in the 60’s. The Conservatives left the Democrat Party and the Liberals left the Republican party. The President said; “I fear we have lost an entire generation of voters to the Republicans” they never switched back!!
So when the Dems pulled down the slavers statues why was it you Reps who whined?

democrats enact litmus tests to force black voters to have to prove their intelligence before voting

President Johnson wanted credit so he enlisted the Republicans in congress to get them passed.
And yes, the Texas Republican party was founded by Black Americans.
On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James Mann (R-Ill.) re-introduced the 19th Amendment and it finally passed the House by a vote of 304-89. Ninety-one percent of Republicans voted for women compared to only 59 percent of Democrats.
On June 4, 1919, it passed the Senate 56-25. Eighty-two percent of Republicans voted in favor of the amendment while 41 percent of Democrats did. It was then sent to the states for ratification.
By March of 1920, 35 states had ratified the amendment, one shy of ratification. Many Democratic-controlled state legislatures voted against ratification – Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia. Of the 36 states to ratify the 19th Amendment, 26 were Republican states. Tennessee became a critical battleground state. Its state legislature was deadlocked at 48-48. The deciding vote was cast by a 23-year-old Republican State Representative named Harry T. Burn. Burn voted for its passage on Aug. 18, 1920, making Tennessee the required 36th state. On August 26, 1920, U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the 19th Amendment.
This old BS history myth just won’t go away. The KKK at its height in the 1920’s was comprised of both democrats and republicans. The klan was headquartered in Indiana, a predominantely republican state.
The klan at its peak in the 1920s included many republicans, including the GOP dominated Indiana State legislature which passed a KKK day at the State Fair in 1922. Both Indiana and Colorado had republican governors who were members of the klan and/or were politically supported by the klan.
The main policies of the klan were pro-temperance, pro-nationalists and anti-immigration. Views shared by both democrats and republicans in the early 20th century.
How old are you and who told you that dribble, I lived through that time and that is completely false!
