Al Gore may have referred to his belief in global warming as “an inconvenient truth,” but there is another inconvenient truth that Mr. Gore and his fellow Democrats would certainly like to keep buried. It’s an ugly truth about an ugly organization. And the Democrats were neck-deep in it.
We all have things we’d prefer to forget happened. This is true for both individuals and for nations. In fact, for individuals, learning from the past and then leaving it in the past is a mentally healthy thing to do. Constantly resurrecting painful memories can be an indicator of mental illness.
Political parties, by their nature, have plenty of sordid events in their histories, some more than others. That said there is one event in the history of the Democratic party that we can be sure current party members want buried in the past. It’s just that ugly.

So true then and now
From 1868 thru the 1960s the Democrats ran the South. They enacted all the anti black laws, not the GOP.
Jerry Kauffman The Spanish Inquisition was Church Terrorists…plan and Simple… The Crusades was two fold it was against Muslim Aggression and Wealth..
Sure wish these Libtards know something about our history!
You are correct John Magee .
I just want to know what thread count do those kluckers prefer?
This video is the sort of absolute utter revisionist history, propogandist bullcrap by the GOP that absolutely makes my blood boil. I can not understand how people can’t easily see what a bunch of complete BS it is!
So given that I grew up in a suburb of Detroit and only ever spent time in the South while vacationing there, nor do I have any southern relatives, it wasn’t until about a year ago I started to truly understand how much revisionist history about the Civil War went on and continues to be spread in Southern states. What first alerted me to it was how often I started seeing southern Trump supporters making online comments about how one way that Democrats are so awful is that they were the ones who started the KKK. WTF?!! I kept seeing this over and over again in comments and posts and it always astounded me how many Southern Republicans don’t understand that, that yes, some Klan members may have considered themselves to be democrats, but the reality is that there were no recognized political parties in the Confederate States of America. Most Southerners, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis, opposed political parties, considering them to be a corruption of the principles of republican government. However, many of the members of the Confederate Congress were former Southern Democrats. A few had been Constitutional Unionists or Whigs. While there were no political parties, per se, Confederate politicians often divided over the issue of whether to have a strong central government. Nationalists, including Jefferson Davis, favored giving the Confederate government broad powers, especially in war time. Libertarians, led by Alexander Stephens, favored a very limited confederate government, reserving most powers — including most war powers — to the individual states.
But what is so especially astonishing to me is that so many southerners are unable to put together how the Southern states of the Confederate was, OF COURSE, where the KKK started, and that the South was certainly NOT PRIMARILY REPUBLICAN DURING THE CIVIL WAR, as they primarily are today. NORTHERN REPUBLICANS FOUGHT AGAINST THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERATES IN THE CIVIL WAR PRIMARILY OVER SLAVERY! It blows my mind that THAT even has to be pointed out to them. How can you not surmize that the southern side for slavery during the Civil War was where the KKK began?!
If you’re unaware of how the South started to support the GOP more and more until they became the majority in the South by the 1970’s, simply fact check FDR’s New Deal and The Southern Strategy of the 1960’s by the GOP. Democrats incorporating CIVIL RIGHTS into their party more and more is what made the South switch to become Republicans and that is the sort of anti-civil rights mentality that started the KKK folks.
But they’re not racists, right? Puh-lease. And the brainwashing of the South and the GOP continues…
Lol what’s the matter lol got problems again lmfao
That is actually a historical fact that the DEMOCRATS founded the KKK!
And they have the ones they oppress voting for them……oh the stupidity in this country
