Always remember, the Republican Party (GOP) was the party that freed the slaves, made them citizens and gave them the right to vote. The first black congressmen and senators were ALL Republicans. And without overwhelming Republican support, the Civil Rights Act (ending segregation) would not have passed. So if you’re a racist, being a Republican is dumb. The Democratic Party is more suited for you. Democrats historically supported slavery and segregation, Democrats started the KKK and Democratic politicians keep black Americans on the government plantation (welfare dependency) to this very day, where they can more easily be controlled and manipulated. So then why do Democrats, and the Democrat news media, always call Republicans “racists”? Simple. It’s projection. Democrats frequently accuse others of what they themselves are.
