Nope, sorry, just
more lies.
Of course, another major strategy of covering up racist Democratic roots is saying that it isn’t the party today that it once was.
Some people even say the parties flipped at some point… so Democrats get credit for Lincoln (who was a Republican), and Republicans get credit for the KKK (which was founded by Democrats).
Well, when exactly did the parties suddenly and miraculously switch platforms?
Neither party added proposed anti-KKK positions to its platform at the 1924 conventions.
In 1963, the Democrat Governor of Alabama, George Wallace, stood blocking a doorway, refusing to allow a black girl to enter a white school that had just been desegregated by law.
And if the Democrats were still racist in 1963, that means Democrat hero Franklin D. Roosevelt was part of the old racist Democratic party. (Big surprise, that the guy who put Japanese Americans in concentration camps was racist).
Some people would say that the flip occurred with the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. After all, George Wallace lost the primary against Johnson, which seems to be a rejection of Wallace’s racism.
Plus, Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
