> last time I checked Dems aren’t the ones with the racist rhetoric… Just saying 🤷‍♂️

They literally elected a president currently in office who spent most of his career being racist and literally started his career and made it the focus of his career to keep segregation alive... literally the first president in my lifetime who built a career on pro-segregation... Yea pretty sure the dems are still built on racist rhetoric, if they werent a man like that would have never even been a senator, let alone much more.

@freemo @alecui Not to mention that they boast and brag about discriminating along the lines of race, even now whining and moaning because they can no longer do so with the abolition of #AffirmativeAction

If the #Democrat party has be marked by one single thing, pre “party switch” and post “party switch”, it’s an affinity for discrimination along racial lines

@realcaseyrollins @alecui @freemo Things I find interesting:
1. All the confederate statues are democrats
2. Joe Biden is good friends with a KKK leader, Byrd

@olmitch @alecui @freemo @realcaseyrollins Byrd left the KKK in about 1945, at age 20? And I highly doubt Biden is hanging out with Byrd anymore.

@JonKramer

That doesnt rule out the fact that Biden might be hanging out with him... Pretty sure there is a good chance Biden has been dead for 15 years too.

@realcaseyrollins @alecui @olmitch

@JonKramer @alecui @freemo @realcaseyrollins > As late as 1946, Byrd wrote to the Klan’s Grand Wizard: “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation.”

Running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1952, Byrd worked to distance himself from his Klan activities. He claimed he lost interest in it after a year and dropped his membership in the group

@olmitch @alecui @freemo @realcaseyrollins 1946.... Most of us would think of that as pre-history. After that quote, Byrd said being in the KKK was the biggest mistake he made in his life." He said that also in pr-histoy, about 1950.
