“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the
Democratic Party.”

President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many views with the Klan. He
re-segregated many federal agencies, and even screened the first movie
ever played at the White House - the racist film “The Birth of a Nation,”
originally entitled “The Clansman.”

A few decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the
landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats. Eighty percent of
Republicans in Congress supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of
Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days,
until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam.

And when all of their efforts to enslave blacks, keep them enslaved, and
then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came up with a new
strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as well vote for
Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said about
the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two
hundred years.”

So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it
has spent much of its history oppressing.

Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in
reality it’s the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept
blacks down. Massive government welfare has decimated the black family.
Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in failing schools.
Politically correct policing has left black neighborhoods defenseless
against violent crime.

So, when you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political
party should come to mind?
