His father was killed by the Ku Klux Klan. Was he a Republican? It’s not certain; however, he did not like Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson and Malcolm X had much disdain for Democrats in general. Here is his famous “Chump” speech saying if you vote Democrat you are a traitor to your race:

• 2008: Democrats had no problem with confederate statues during the entire presidency of Barack Obama 2008-2016. The historical monuments only became racist to Democrats when Trump became president.

Here are some things Trump has done, which the media ignores:

---

Why do Black People vote Democrat?
The Democrat party has always been the party of racism, so why did black people vote for Democrats? The answer was twofold ~ they lured them with freebies then lied to them:

Why are more black people voting Republican?
The Blacks for Trump campaign is growing because they know Trump is not a racist. He is the only president to break through to provide a hand-up, instead of a handout. More blacks today have jobs than ever before. Trump’s historic black low unemployment record speaks for itself. It’s the lowest it’s been in 45 years!

The Inconvenient Truth About the Democrats…

The parties never magically switched.
How did the Democratic party change over time? If you have believed in the party switch myth then you’ve succumbed to propaganda fabricated by Democrats, because they were embarrassed that their party supported slavery. They were the party of physical slavery and today they are keeping the chains of mental slavery. They haven’t changed.

The “parties switched myth” is a result of Democratic propaganda to hide a racist history of slavery, of lynching, of segregation, of oppression, and of filibustering nearly every civil rights legislation in our history. The party of hate since 1828 hasn’t changed a bit.

Closing thoughts…
We are one race: the human race. The Democrats need to stop calling the Republicans racist. As Morgan Freeman said, they only reason we experience racism, is because we keep talking about racism. Let’s discuss the issues and not the color of our skin. Let’s look to our past and learn from it.  Stop destroying monuments, but educate people about them, they are what brought us here today.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”~ George Santayana

PS: Building a wall, doesn’t make a Presdient racists.

The Democratic Party was eager to use these racists xenophobic claims against President Trump…until they abandoned that attack after videos archives demonstrated they too had lobbied for the very same walls:
