“The KKK was formed by the democrats to keep control over black Americans. The democrats of today just traded ropes for welfare.”
What’s to apologize? These women need a transfusion of Trump 60-proof NO APOLOGY serum.
I don't know the history all that well, but the specifics of their facebook post could be criticized.
It is true that the KKK was formed by democrats, but I don't know if their primary focus was to 'keep control over black Americans' - or just to oppose everything that they didn't like during the Reconstruction. This included carpetbaggers, Yankees, Roman Catholics, Jews, and blacks. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what was the KKK's deal (I probably should page Nathan Bedford Forrest).
Also, rather than the 'democrats of today just trading ropes for welfare', I think a better analogy would be chains for welfare.
I think their facebook post would have been more factually accurate if they had noted that '150 years ago Democrats defended slavery, and today they have just traded chains of iron for the soft chains of welfare bondage'.
