[QUOTE="Uber Genius, post: 74614907, member: 389967"] Not sure if your post is trying to be sarcastic. Or that you are ignorant of the fact that from the three fifths compromise, to the civil war, to forming of the KKK to kill Republicans and Republican sympathizers after the civil war, or the Jim Crow laws, or the fight against civil rights in the 1960s was all the work of democrats! In fact not just the southern Dems but also the northern Dems in lock step with southern Dems. These facts aren't the least controversial. There is hardly a U.S. History book that doesn't contain those facts. However, we shouldn't label Democrats as the party of racism despite their history of same due to the fact that it would be a sweeping generalization, an ad hominem attack potentially causing people to discount Democrats ideas rather than engaging them based on their merit, it would also be anachronistic since civil rights have been the mantra of the Dems since 1964 at least (we will not go into the fact of LBJ's motives since he was one of the worst racists we have ever seen in the White Hoise in modern times). No labeling, no fallacious reasoning, no rhetorical flourish, just discussing the various issues based on their merits. That way you need to falsify U.S. History to argue your point, just argue the merits. BTW here is a site for those who liked dzheremi's post, it has a similar account to most 10th-grade textbooks, namely that the KKK was formed by confederates who were white supremacists trying to destroy the Repulican party in the south! [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan"]Ku Klux Klan - Wikipedia[/URL] Although wiki is a horrible resource and I don't let any of my students ever use it as a reference it demonstrates that even Wikipedia isn't ignorant of Democratic party's post Civil War role developing the hate group known as the KKK. Who knew PreagerU got it right after all. [/QUOTE]
