Who Needs Black Politicians?

[srkruzich]

ummm.......lets see.....conservative racist organizations.........well first would be the KKK, New Black Panther Party, White Pride, Skinheads, Westboro Baptist Church, American Nazi Party, Volksfront, Aryan Nation.........and so on and so forth yada yada yada blah blah blah.........don't think ANY of those fellas would like to hear they were bein labeled as liberal LOL

Plenty of racism to go around isn't there.

Where did you get the idea those are conservative??  Nothing about them is conservative.

But the fact is that everyone is biased against some race.  Its not racism either.  Too many people trying to dictate who i like.  If i dont' like someone or some particular group thats my choice and no one elses.  No one else is going to change anything either.  One of the biggest jokes is this "diversity"movement.  Bunch of wannabe pansys that think they can force someone to like another group or person just because they put them together.  Not going to happen.

Pamagain, the groups you've mentioned are not conservative.  They're liberal.

As for racism. the gov't schools and the NEA were early racists and I suppose they still are.

[pamagain]

  I generally dislike people because of their PERSONALITY not who or what they are LOL.

  Actually those groups are neither conservative OR liberal..........they are seriously WHACKED.

[redcliffsw]

"seriously whacked"  -  that's another description of liberalism.

[pamagain]

  it's actually a pretty good description of hardcore conservatism also

  I think I would really like to hear your version of an explanation of why the KKK is a LIBERAL organization..........this has GOT to be good ( that's sarcasm since you can't hear it in my voice) or any of the others for that matter...I'll just be right here.......

Let me help you out here, Steve and Red.  The Republican Party outlawed the Ku Klux Klan in 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed and the Republican President, Ulysses Grant, signed into law the Ku Klux Klan Act.  The law banned the KKK and other Democrat terrorist organizations.  President Grant then deployed federal troops to crush a Klan uprising in South Carolina and Louisiana, while hundreds of Klansmen were convicted in federal court.  Eleven years later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned most provisions of the Act.  Though legalized, this original version of the Ku Klux Klan faded.  Why?  Because as Democrats regained control over southern state governments, they could oppress republicans and African-Americans openly, without need of white sheets.

There have been two distinct organizations known as the Ku Klux Klan.  The modern-day KKK, with whom most people are familiar, was spawned in 1915 by the Hollywood epic Birth of a Nation, premiered at the White House by a Democrat president, Woodrow Wilson.  Cross-burning and other rituals were actually inspired by the movie.  The Klan came to dominate the Democratic Party so thoroughly that the 1924 Democratic National Convention was known as the "Klanbake."

It is not so much this Klan 2.0 that ACORN parallels as the original version.  Established in 1866, Klan 1.0 was an affiliate of the Democratic Party during the Reconstruction era.  Named for "kuklos," the Greek word for "circle," the Ku Klux Klan waged war against the Republican Party in the former Confederate states.  Goofy titles for its commanders such as Wizard and Cyclops were intended to disguise the fact that the KKK was a paramilitary organization.  In some areas, leadership of the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party were indistinguishable.

Democrats used the Klan to suppress their political opposition, with vote fraud and intimidation and violence.  Klansmen aimed at African-Americans, nearly all Republicans in those days, and at white Republicans who tried to help them.  Once threatened by the KKK, Republicans could in many cases save their lives only by publicly swearing allegiance to the Democratic Party.  According to a southern governor, "Few Republicans dare sleep in their houses at night."

"The suppression of enough GOP votes could ensure a Democratic victory," wrote one historian.  "There's no question that Klansmen closely watched the polls" – easy to do before the secret ballot was introduced in the United States in the 1880s.  All too often, Republican ballots were not even counted.

Like ACORN, the Ku Klux Klan operated with impunity until Republican politicians and journalists sounded an alarm.  In 1869, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the KKK's Grand Dragon, ordered the Klan disbanded.  Why?  The national organization was getting too much attention, so Klansmen would have to soldier on in state-level organizations, such as the Red Shirts in South Carolina and the Men of Justice in Alabama.  Nonetheless, most members of these spin-off groups considered themselves to be Klansmen.  A congressional investigation reported that "the operations of the Klan are executed in the night and are invariably directed against members of the Republican Party."

Back then, Klansmen had to contend with a Republican administration, but now, with a Democrat in the White House, ACORNistas know that the federal government is on their side.  With Eric Holder's Justice Department condoning polling place thuggery [pictured] and other illicit activity against the GOP, there is less incentive for Democrats to suppress Republican opposition by covert means when government authorities are doing so openly.

The Democrat-controlled 111th Congress has made ACORN spin-off groups such as New York Communities for Change and New England United for Justice in Massachusetts, to name a couple  there is many more of these spin-off groups eligible for billions of taxpayer dollars.  Once an insurgency, community organizers are now part of the establishment thanks to Barack H. Obama.  To the victors go the spoils.

   Warph.....I don't need a lesson about what the KKK is...or what they have or haven't done in the past or present.....and I don't recall sayin ANYthing about being Democrat OR Republican. I beLIEVE the comparison was liberal and conservative.

  These groups I mentioned are concerned with keepin the status quo/traditions they embrace as the "law" of the land. That is the very definition of conservative. They want NOTHING changed from the "Whites on top" "men on top" "Christians (preferably white anglo-SAXON MEN Christians) on top" scenario they know and love.

  THAT is what I am talkin about when I say conservative racist group.

Why is it that because I can put forth an abstract concept that has nothing to do with PARTY you all decide I'm a "goofy little girl" who needs a history lesson? Kinda condescending and REAL f-in annoying.

Pam, did you forget "sexist"?

I am still curious to hear just how/why the KKK is liberal? Seeing a whole bucket full of red herring, but no explanation.

Gee Pam, you asked and I answered your question on the KKK.

Pam, did you forget "sexist"?

Wilma, Sexist= It means that you make a judgement about a person based on whether the person is male or female.  Am I missing something here on my part?

6dogs, are you out splitting hairs again.... maybe you need to ask them...  http://www.kkk.com/ .... why they are so liberal, why they are liberal democrats and not conservative republicans in their views.
