What Have The Democrats Ever Done For Us?

Not sure how progressives have convinced themselves that somehow Democrats and Republicans 'have switched sides' on matter of race but given their penchant for revising history in their favor, this act of historical contortion isn't all that that surprising.

History seems to always start today with them. And tomorrow today again and again...and again.

From the History News Network:

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities. Senate debates revealed that the Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.
History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

Reminds me of a story.

Once long ago, a brother was having dinner with his family declared at the table 'I have always cleaned the dishes in this house!' This assertion was immediately challenged. "That is quite the lie,' the sister replied. :Whenever we asked your hand for help, you were always the first to leave the kitchen. I know, because it is me that has always washed the dishes.'" But the brother, sly and sleek in the art of deception, was having none of it. 'Well, I do remember doing it. Besides, you don't do it anymore."

The sister could only sit in stunned silence. She gathered her thoughts and replied, 'There are but two of us at the table. Who did the dishes yesterday? "You. But I meant to do it." "And the day before that? "You. But I was not feeling well." "And the day before that?" "You. But I was late for work." "And the day before that?" "You. But I was promised help." "And the day before that?" "You. But I was planning on doing it later in the evening when we were asleep."

"So tell me, brother, how is it you've 'always' done the dishes when you haven't even done this past week?"

"It matters little.What matters is I believe it. And you can't prove otherwise besides words."

"Will you do the dishes?"

"I'm too insulted to do so."

And he walked out.
