Donald's Fourth of July message

[istodolez]

If I was a Democrat I would want to erase my racist history too.

Other than a gratuitous slam on Democrats, what is the connection?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

If I were a Republican I’d want to erase my racist history, too.

Like?

 

[Fantine]

Sounding more and more like Hitler every day.

Not into erasing history here. Not even the bad stuff. Especially not the bad stuff, lest we repeat it.

 

[durangodawood]

Like?

Old time southern Dems are many current R's history.

 

[durangodawood]

And Alabama.

Thats one place I havent been yet.

Those Democrats were self-proclaimed Christians. Would you like me to throw every Christian into that deplorable racist basket?

Oh, wait, those are relative CURRENT (with the exception of Ronald Reagan). But you get the idea.

Or not.

Doesn't matter to me.

No, no no! It doesn't work that way! Remember: Democrats bad. Even though the Democrat party of 2020 has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the Democrat party of 1867 or even 1960. But they had the same NAME. That's the important bit.

The Christians who ROUNDLY supported Slavery in the South were doing so DESPITE Christianity, dontcha know. Even though they could all cite chapter and verse where the Bible seemed OK with it.

We can't change the past.

Aren’t you supposed to learn from it, to create a better future...??

 

[Speedwell]

No, no no! It doesn't work that way! Remember: Democrats bad. Even though the Democrat party of 2020 has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the Democrat party of 1867 or even 1960. But they had the same NAME. That's the important bit.

And founded an entire religious denomination--still the largest Protestant denomination in the country--to help them keep track of it.

I’m sorry, rules on this website clearly dictate that if someone says they are a Christian they are to be accepted as Christian so the KKK is a Christian group. My hands are tied.

 

[istodolez]

Aren’t you supposed to learn from it, to create a better future...??

You don't sound like you're a REAL American. We don't learn from history. We do our level best not to learn from anything! We are forged from the rugged individualism of our pioneer forebears who didn't need to know nothin' to tame an entire continent! And there was never ever any bad thing that came out of that that we have to deal with today.

Well, can't go against the rules. That's just life! Carry on!

Haven't you heard the latest "history revision" from the Conservatives? Yeah, the "Southern Strategy" never existed! It's a miracle! It's like we can just throw things into the memory hole and history changes! VIOLA!

You're an American. You're not proud of that racist history or anything, are you?

And if they have their ways the South might have been the "good guys" in the Civil War.

Sounding more and more like Hitler every day.

Actually no. Hitler was an effective public speaker.

You mean "The War of Northern Aggression?" They always have been.

You know, that's what I keep hearing.
