The Democrats Created The KKK

None of them are. But. There is a vast difference between a competant moderate (clinton) and an absolute bumbling, idiotic fool-- who can't even make money owning a CASINO! A business who's Business Model, is taking money from drunk gamblers...

Between the two? It's like the difference between boring (clinton) and being inside a sharkanado (tЯumpf)...

Or better? The difference between a Wal Mart manager? (clinton) and being dragged behind a pickup, through a cactus field, while bleeding from gunshot wounds, with spiders inside your pants (trump)...

I totally agree. I like your comparisons. lol

Propaganda don't use facts.

Actually, propaganda uses facts all the time. It's just a very selective, lopsided, and manipulative use of facts.

For example: If someone uses the historical fact that the Democrats were the party of the KKK and tries to present this information as a way of suggesting that they're still the party of the KKK to this very day, that would be an example of propaganda. Using facts selectively to try to manipulate viewers into reaching the desired conclusion.

I like to use Hillary Clinton's mentor.

Larry Byrd. Pretty self-explanatory. Democrat to the end.

Since Trump is being accused of being racist people forget he was a Democrat as well. Shows us wonderfully where the origins lie.

Democrats are still a major racist party and always will be unless it serves their interest for the securement of power , wealth, or votes.

The science is right on this. The ideological components align in comparison.

There was this guy on Fox News saying
The KKK was founded by a Democrat, had only Democrat followers, was endorsed by Democrats, and sent their members to congress as Democrats.
First, it's important to note that, yes, the Democrats were indeed the party of slavery and, in the early 20th century, the party of segregation, too. But correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t the parties switch and the republicans of today resemble the democrats of the past and the democrats today resemble the republicans of past?

After the Civil War was over there was NO law and order.. no sheriffs .. The KKK didn't last long..but started back up some 25 years later. I'm not justifying it but the history is more complicated ….

I don't think either party can be branded as overtly "racist," not in this day and age. Everyone (including Trump) falls all over themselves to deny that they're racist, all the while accusing the other side of being racist.

I suppose it could be some sort of tactic at work. The constant playing of the race card can lead to it being played out for good. The constant accusations of racism going back and forth might be designed to numb the general public to the term so that it doesn't really carry the same weight or sting that it once had.

Trump has changed his party affiliation over a dozen times. In fact, in a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republican. If anything especially today that just makes trump appear even more stupid and self-contradictory.

As far as democrats still being the racist party...

Racist southerners migrated from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party in the late 20th century.”

My family's history says otherwise stop it......

I kinda wish some of you whites that try and dictate history and whether there was not "enough racism" to let us blacks, Native Americans, Japanese dictate that. Dixiecrats were racist just as the republicans its just that the republicans were moderate about it. They still never thought the black man was equal.

There simply aren't negotiation Positions in "racism". Reduce races to no definition is more like it. There's no Hungarian race. there's no polish race. That's the only goal. What, do we have territorial compromises in white race negotiations with all the black race, no.

I notice that you failed to quote the part that said "in this day and age." It wasn't a comment about history, but about the present day. Unless you want to cite which portion of each party's current official platform contradicts what I'm saying.

So, then you now agree that the D'Souza video is not propaganda?
Propaganda vs Persuasion - Difference Between

So, you expect people to believe that Democrats like Obama, Harris, Warren, Sanders, Clinton, Omar, AOC, and the rest of the party have all been secretly in cahoots with the KKK all along to keep blacks down? That seems wilder than most conspiracy theories, and you regard this as "fact"?
