“Jimmy, would that be the Democrat Party that started the Civil War to protect slavery and then formed the KKK to essentially keep blacks enslaved for the following 100 years in the South. That Democrat Party, James?”
Don’t go down that road.
If you do the rest of us will be forced to defend Abraham Lincoln’s white supremacy statements, and his oath to protect and defend the Union’s pro-slavery constitution, and his efforts to repatriate black people to somewhere else.
I don’t want to have to defend that after 165 years.
So.? Everybody was a racist back then. The Democrats supported slavery. The Republicans abolished it.
