The Democrats Created The KKK

[Curious George]

Yes. There was no actual party switch. The Dixiecrats are and still are, today's Democrats.

I think you are confused about the content of my post.

 

[Valjean]

Well, they do say the left and right are mirror images of each other.

;O]

Yet it's the left that pushed to end slavery, to give women the vote, establish a 40h week, minimum wage, OSHA, equal rights for blacks and women, free, universal education; social security, workman's compensation, medicare and medicaid; food, water and housing standards -- pretty much everything that makes life today secure and comfortable for the common man. It's the right that opposed all of these -- and continues to oppose progressive and pro-social legislation.
Hardly mirror images.

The right panders to the working classes, but its raison d'etre is to maintain the power and privilege of the rich and powerful.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Such simplistic rhetoric isn't helpful.

That's the basic definitions of Right/Left that were developed in response to the French Revolution. They haven't really changed but, although some added a "north/south" to acknowledge it's actually more complicated than just Left or Right.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Besides , the KKK is completely Southern.

What about Michigan and Indiana?

 

[Shad]

You are correct, I believe. So far as I know the switch was predicted by President Johnson, and began as a practice with Richard Nixon. Nixon's exploitation of white voters willing to switch from Democrat to Republican in order to support racism was known as the Southern Strategy.

Nixon won a landside all over the US. So liberals were too dumb to see through Nixon? Is that your argument?

No the left are the ones that wanted to maintain Jim Crow back in the 60s. Check out the archive in the Library of Congress who actually supported Jim Crow in those who were against which so happened to be the right.

With that out of the way, the 40 hour work week was pushed by unions back in the day when they were actually beneficial for a change instead of the reputation of beating the snot out of people with their security guards while the owners brought in the scab workers during strikes and lockouts.

As far as the left did, it was a a good job of tempering the radicals and the supremacist by further identifying and even reaffirming each other as distinctly different by instituting racist laws themselves like affirmative action, and identifying and grouping differences as tools of leverage with a either a you're with me , or against me type of mentality. Basically, it's not enough to just level the playing field which is what they should have done, it's to also to make sure and include a distinctive disadvantage for others for good measure.


Congresswoman Ayana Pressley anyone?

She has a beautiful way of putting things in ahem 'non racist' words, “We don’t need any more Brown faces that don’t want to be a Brown voice” I think there was a word for people of color in those days who came across as sellouts....

House ~something? Eh..

Oh the left is racist alright. They just change the flags now and again with whatever they think is going to benefit them. It's now their stick it to whitey era cuz whitey deserves it, campaign under the guise of being equal and fair. They are equal and fair all right, just only with the selected ethnic group they champion as long as that is useful for them and gets them elected.

As long as it doesn't outgrow the usefulness and don't revert back to their former glorified disposition when it comes to ethnicity I'm sure they'd be right happy and to change the flags again.........

Lipstick on a pig.

I have nothing to prove to you.

What makes the Nazi flag backwards?

Fair enough. I'll leave it at that.

You are aware that in recent political history, the parties switched agendas, correct? The Republicans now were the Democratic left of the past while the Democrats now were the Republican right of the past. Therefore, it was actually the current Republican right who maintained Jim Crow back in the day.

Thats just a plain outright lie completely fabricated by the left. Only three Democrats (Dixiecrats) switched to the Republicans. Unless of course you think three people completely comprised the Democrat party back in the day.

As far as recent Democrats go, racism is still alive and well, you could just say they changed flags, but kept the same playbook.

 

[wellwisher]

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?

The contemporary Democrat party is the party of identity politics, where race and sex are used to define and thereby segregate groups, along the lines of race and sexual identity. This is what the KKK was designed to do through intimidation to keep each group pure. The modern victims of the Democrats; quota system, has changed targets, but the tactics are the same as under the KKK. During the time of the original KKK, the quota system only benefited the whites. The playbook did not change, all the Democrats did was substitute labels.

If you look at Anitifa, they are modern strong arm of the modern Democrat KKK. Changing the name without changing the tactics, does no change who they are/were. They also use violence against peaceful first Amendment demonstrations. The KKK used to do the same to peaceful black demonstrations. The boycotting and harassment of the Republican business and personalities, is a draw back to the KKK playbook of old. The KKK used to target successful black businesses and any outspoken black personalities. The KKK never ended. The Democrats merely gave them new names.

The Republicans believed that all people are created equal by our maker. This meant that all races were part of the same team. This can only happen if we get rid of the modern Democrats race identity politics, enforced by the new KKK propaganda.

In the 1960's, Nixon was able to convert many of the southern states to vote Republican. This was because the South was basically conservative; old fashion; religious values and sense of independence. The Democrats of the 1960's, had become too liberal via the big government welfare state. The KKK of the southern Democrat states, was part of baggage that the Republicans inherited. But as history shows, the inherent southern KKK became more of a biased social club, instead of the violent gang that it was, when it was run by the Democrats. That violent gang was resurrected by the modern Democrats; swamp. Innocent people have gone to jail, because of the Democrat swamp and its collusion delusion propaganda. Just like in the old days of the KKK.

The old Democrats KKK was composed of powerful people at the highest levels of society, in both government and business, similar to the swamp Democrats. The modern KKK is a fringe group of middle class bigotts who lack teeth but who have white pride; identity politics.That part was maintained from the Democrat playbook.

You know when you put that laugh reaction, you're just improving my user stats, right? So, thanks.

Happy to oblige-- I was seriously laughing, so it seemed quite apropos.

The best joke is when someone says something that is hilariously ironic, but doesn't realize it at the time.

I just love reading Revisionist "History". Don't you?

The #1 trait of Conservatives everywhere: Rewrite "history" to try to cover over the inherent ugliness of the primary Conservative Value: Pure Selfish Greed.

It's ironic, really-- that attitude has blindsided them into voting against their own best interests for decades...

For unless you are in the top 1% financially? Voting 'conservative' in the USA is voting against your own interests.

Proof? Look at all those poor farmers, who voted tЯump, and are now going bankrupt as result.

I'd pity them... but...

The right wing created the KKK.
Sometimes the right votes democratic, sometimes republican.

The left has always fought for democracy, fairness, human rights and equality. The right wing has always been about hierarchy, competition and maintaining the social and economic hegemony of the elites.

Four legs good, two legs bad

No, your reply is enough said. Yet I am sure you want to present yourself as unbiased and not prejudice....and yet here you are.

It certainly hasn't always fought for democracy and human rights, they were for the milk-blooded pinko fops

The right wing has always been about hierarchy, competition and maintaining the social and economic hegemony of the elites.

Not really either. Liberal conservatives could be quite reform minded

Valjean always pretends that the left is faultless and even tries to lay Stalin and Mao on the right.

Yesterday's Dems are today's Pubs, and the switch mainly happened during FDR's terms. Roosevelt bought into socialist Eugene Debs' economic plans when the depression continued to linger and Hoover withheld even more money from circulation that caused the depression to worsen.

However, what became called the "Southern Democrats" hung on to their conservative and racist stances, not "converting" to the Pubs until after the Civil Rights Acts were passed during LBJ's administration.

What about Michigan and Indiana?

Don't forget Maine. ;O]
