KKK Founders were Democrats

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

LOL, the Democratic Party didn't form the KKK. A bunch of former Civil War veterans did.......as a JOKE......just like this thread.​

Do you have the actual number of southern Democrats that turned Republican? It could have been ten twenty or maybe a hundred but I'm willing to bet a good portion of those southern Democrats didn't switch sides.And even if that is true the fact still remains the Klan was founded by ppl who called themselves democrat.

I would quote my own post, but imma just tell you to read it yourself

Sadly I think we need this thread. Or rather, this thread is about a year or so too late. The republicans actually tried this as a technique to trick gullible/uninformed voters who have no understanding of party history.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...-says-gop-fought-hard-civil-rights-bills-196/

The Civil Rights Act -- which is best known for barring discrimination in public accommodations -- passed the House on Feb. 10, 1964 by a margin of 290-130. When broken down by party, 61 percent of Democratic lawmakers voted for the bill (152 yeas and 96 nays), and a full 80 percent of the Republican caucus supported it (138 yeas and 34 nays).

When the Senate passed the measure on June 19, 1964, -- nine days after supporters mustered enough votes to end the longest filibuster in Senate history -- the margin was 73-27. Better than two-thirds of Senate Democrats supported the measure on final passage (46 yeas, 21 nays), but an even stronger 82 percent of Republicans supported it (27 yeas, 6 nays).

The primary reason that Republican support was higher than Democratic support -- even though the legislation was pushed hard by a Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson -- is that the opposition to the bill primarily came from Southern lawmakers. In the mid 1960s, the South was overwhelmingly Democratic -- a legacy of the Civil War and Reconstruction, when the Republican Party was the leading force against slavery and its legacy. Because of this history, the Democratic Party in the 1960s was divided between Southern Democrats, most of whom opposed civil rights legislation, and Democrats from outside the South who more often than not supported it.

This pattern showed clearly in the House vote. Northern Democrats backed the Civil Rights Act by a margin even larger than that of Republicans -- 141 for, just four against -- while Southern Democrats were strongly opposed, by a margin of 11 yeas to 92 nays.

When the Voting Rights Act hit the floor in 1965, the vote results mirrored those of the Civil Rights Act. In the House, the measure passed by a 333-85 margin, with 78 percent of Democrats backing it (221 yeas and 61 nays) and 82 percent of Republicans backing it (112 yeas to 24 nays).

In the Senate, the measure passed by a 77-19 vote, with 73 percent of Democrats and 94 percent of Republicans supporting the bill.

Any black person who supports ether party is a c00n, especially the Democratic Party... Lyndon B Johnson was right when he said he would have you ******s voting Democrat for the next 200 years mission accomplished.

 

[Slystallion]

You do know the democrats were the republicans of that time and the Republicans were the democrats of that time. I believe it recently changed in the 60s or 70s. Now democrats are for the poor.

biggest fukking simplified myth in the history of fukking bullshyt history

it took two elections after civil rights for the south to finally become dominantly republican in 1980...in between that time the south was rolling third party for the first nixon election and Nixon won practically the whole country in his reelection

so were the northern states racist too?

Voting patterns don't change overnight.

Still doesn't change the fact that the South switched from being mostly Democrat to mostly Republican because they viewed the Dems as being supportive of civil rights and minorities. Sugarcoat it if you want but it's the truth.
