For decades after the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party. Klansmen murdered hundreds of Republican activists and office-holders, including U.S. Representative James Hinds (R-Arkansas).

On this day in 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed and the Republican President, Ulysses Grant, signed into law the Ku Klux Klan Act. The law banned the KKK and other Democrat terrorist organizations. President Grant then... continued at http://grandoldpartisan.typepad.com.

I'll bet if you stopped 50 black people on the street and made that statement, not 1 would believe it.

Not one in a hundred brain-washed African Americans knows that:

The KKK WAS the democrat party in the South for many, many years.

The democrat party has been the party that enslaved blacks since 1820. Still does, in my opinion.

The Republican Party was founded to liberate blacks.

African-Americans are fed rubbish by Democratic race pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

KKK should have called themselves a “religion”.

Then they could build a temple next door to the local mosque.

The history of the post-Civil War South can be seen as a political battle on the part of racist Democrats to wrest political control from Republicans and newly emancipated African-Americans.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the Official 21st century Uncle Toms employed by the democrat party to keep its vast plantation of blacks deceived and enslaved.

On this day in 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed and the Republican President, Ulysses Grant, signed into law the Ku Klux Klan Act...back in the days when the Democrats literally advertised themselves as "The White Man's Party"......
