Wow!! What a day huh? I feel like we've been taken back to the steps of an Alabama school. To substantiate my title's claim, I am going to give you a few fun facts about Republicans and Democrats.
The KKK was founded by Tennessee Democrats in 1866. The KKK was meant to be the militant wing of the Democrat party.
Jim Crow (separate but equal) laws enacted from 1876 to 1965 were passed by Democrats.
Democrats took control of Congress in 1892, they then passed the "Repeal act" of 1894. An act which overturned Civil Rights legislation passed by Republicans.
It was the Republicans who started the NAACP in 1909. A measure taken to counter the racist practices of the Democrat party. Republicans also appointed the first black leader of the NAACP...James Weldon Johnson(R).
George Wallace(D) stood on the steps of an Alabama school in 1963 and said "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!!" He remained a Democrat until the day he died.
Senator Robert Byrd(D) is the only former KKK member in Congress.
If you ask what have the Republicans offered minorities in the last 20 years? They offer self-reliance, pride in one's work, true equality, freedom from the tyranny of welfare, and last but certainly not the least...FREEDOM.
