Whatever happened to spouses just providing support, like Laura Bush, who advocates for her husband without forcing herself on the electorate as if she was a candidate? Michelle Obama, like Hillary in 1992, and Bill Clinton now, has made herself obnoxious. This seems to be Democrat thing.

Don't you find it interesting that every time the MSM wants to discuss racism (i.e. white people not agreeing with the MSM or black people) that they bring up the KKK or David Duke?  Does anybody really know of a Klan group?  I remember David Duke running for something 15 or 20 years ago but couldn't pick him out in a line up of 2.

I must be missing something but unless all of my neighbors (white, middle-class, parents, well kept lawns) are all getting together in their sheets and not telling me...I just don't think that the KKK is a real big problem to blacks.

From what I have seen from my own racist (I disagree with the MSM and victimized blacks) views, most blacks do more damage to themselves than the KKK could ever do.

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was a racially motivated terrorist attack in September 1963 by members of the Birmingham, Alabama, Ku Klux Klan, the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party. The result was the deaths of four African American girls: Addie Mae Collins (aged 14), Denise McNair (aged 11), Carole Robertson (aged 14), and Cynthia Wesley (aged 14), all killed in the blast, and 22 others injured.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans (136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

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

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.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.
