Is KKK a racist/hate group?

Dear Mexepetey The day after the last full congressional elections, the "President" of Iran sent a word of congratulations to the people of the U.S. for having voted in the Democrats. I remember because I was sitting in the waiting room to Oncology waiting for my oldest son to complete his latest round of lab work and it was on CNNs Head Line News. It was a Tuesday.

I was stunned. History shows that it has ALWAYS been the Democrats who opposed Civil Rights. From the days of the antebellum South, through the days of Woodrow Wilson (first federally funded abortion clinics designed to control the number of black babies being born in this country AKA Planned Parenthood), through FDR who imprisoned over 120,000 U.S. citizens due to their ancestry, on up through Truman who pushed for it and had it cost him the election, Eisenhower who pushed for it along with desegregation only to have to enforce it with the use of the National Guard, to the Democrats who filibustered against the passage of the CR Act of 1964.

Dare I mention folks like Sen. Robert Byrd (D) who is a card carrying member of the KKK still and Governor George Wallace (D) who ran for the presidency in '72 on the promise of "NO MORE DESEGREGATION!"? If ignorance is bliss, then today's' Democrats must be some of the happiest people on earth.

I have never seen claims from Al Qaeda or any terrorist organization supporting Democrats. I also have never seen Democrats claiming Obama will take care of their every need without them having to work. Please show some examples.

While I do not claim that all Conservatives or Republicans are racist, I have received many racist emails from conservative friends about Obama. Just Google, "racist Obama jokes, cartoons, etc." and then maybe you'll understand why liberals think there's a connection.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
