Your saying the KKK were Republicans is pretty funny but I think a total myth.

TX Republicans put out a flyer about African Americans and Texas Politics

The Republican party was formed in 1854 after the Democrats voted to protect and to extend slavery.

13th Amendment abolishing slavery passed Congress with the support of EVERY voting Repuclican member but only 23% of Democrat members.

14th A passed with NOT EVEN ONE Democrat in Congress voting for civil rights for African Americans.

When the republcian party emerged in Houston on 7/4/1867 the KKK actively began to attack blacks AND REPUBLICANS!!!

We must have been doing something right!

There is more but the fingers are tired, my question is.... Why do we have such a bad rap? The Democrats are SUCH GOOD LIARS!

Oh I almost forgot.... 1964 Civil Rights Act Democrats controlled the House, Senate and Pres. LBJ but couldn't get the votes. It passed because of the Republicans!

Democrat links with KKK are well documented, as is their atrocious record on civil rights. These things are brushed off by the ilk on DUh as being solely the product of so-called 'Dixie Democrats' and not the real Democratic party. This shows the liberal lefts ability to compartmentalise issues, for example when discussing Stalin they will talk about free dental rather than millions slaughtered.
