newtboysays...How many times are you going to try this dishonest lie by omission, because you leave out the southern strategy (actually you just deny it, la la la la la, neverhappened neverhappened, lalalalala), when the parties switched sides on social issues. After the 60's Republicans courted white racist southerners as Democrats supported civil rights for everyone.
Every single klansman today affiliated with a political party chose Republican. Every neo Nazi with a party preference chooses Republicans. Every white supremacist that votes voted Republican. +-8% of "black" voters voted Republican. They aren't as stupid as you think, people know which party doesn't think black lives matter.
This propaganda is technically correct, Democrats WERE the party of racists, but as presented it is a lie by omission, Bob, which is a lie. You know it's a lie too.
Edit: or do I misunderstand you and you post this to indicate the Republican Party is redeemable, just like the Democrats redeemed themselves from their racist, hateful beginnings? Because you are, but you need to reverse almost every position on every issue to get there, and all I see is heels digging in farther and farther on the wrong side of every issue.
luxintenebrisjokingly says...have tried to watch this before, but knowing better ruins the flow.
just listen to the 'aliases' he lists...confederacy, jim crow, black codes, dixi-crats, and the kkk.
now think...think REAL hard...which party supports confederate monuments? voter suppression? where are most of these 'security' bills being passed? what group is portraying the BLM as villains? which supporters brought a confederate flag into the Capitol building?
if all those things are bad then, then they are bad now. no matter who did them, or when.
but...that jogs a thought...the author presents evidence that racism worked itself into the law. everyday life. somewhere i just heard there was some theory that includes this very belief? seemed it was critical about racial injustice embedded into US establishments? what was it called?
just own your bias. then give objectivity an hour.
...since y'all want to be up on the up and up...

kir_mokumsays...i love how conservatives think this is some big secret or cover up they just discovered when in reality, everyone knows about it and that the parties ostensibly switched platforms in the early-mid 20th century. they also ignore that their beloved GOP used to be a big gov, progressive party when trotting this factoid out.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to bobknight33's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
