Random thought: who was or is the Ku Klux Klan?

Did some reading today and found out that the KKK was a Para-military terrorist organization serving the interests of the Democratic Party which desired restoration of white supremacy. Its purposes were to establish its (the Democratic Party’s?) power, seeking to control all of Southern society. It (the Democratic Party’s?) aimed to reverse the changes that raged across the South during Reconstruction. Destroying the Republican Party’s influence in the south pushing back reconstruction, reestablishing control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life. To that end they worked to curb the education (in today’s world equivalent to opposing school choice), economic advancement (in today’s world equivalent to establishing a welfare class always dependent on government), voting rights (trying to establish one party rule, your vote only counts if you vote our way), and right to keep and bear arms of blacks (in today’s world equivalent to establishing gun control in all the large cities with major minority populations, such as Chicago, DC, NYC, Detroit and LA, just to name a few).

The Ku Klux Klan (the Democratic Party) soon spread into nearly every southern state, launching a "reign of terror against Republican leaders both black and white. Assassination victims during the campaign included Arkansas Congressman James Hinds, members of the South Carolina legislature, and others who served in constitutional conventions. This was back in the 19th centrury.

A random thought, I remember when a Republican Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated by a pro-Democratic racist, just a thought from the  20th centrury...

Another random thought, gee this happens a lot when you are old, the longest running member of the Senate was a Democrat of one of the poorest states In the Union. That is West Virginia’s Senator Robert Byrd, who started his political career as Klansman.

Bleeding random thoughts: I remember the first time I voted for a Republican for President. That was for Ronald Reagan the second time he ran.  I voted for him for he was pro life, but my grandfather an old die hard Democrat got really sore at me telling me that the Democrats were for the working man, and I shouldn’t abandon the working man’s party, funny that coming from a man that saw all of his son’s leave the state of Democrat controlled WV to find work.

Yep, I think Byrd, may God have mercy on his soul, was for the working man, he kept promising jobs to the working man, like a carrot on a stick, funny thing is many a man died waiting all those years with assurance and hope that Byrd would keep his promise. I wonder how many are still waiting. Myself I left WV 18 years ago.....

A history repeated, or a now and then narrative? Like I said before, I get a little confused.

Now you ask would a party that sprouted the KKK put a black man in the White House? Well that wouldn't be a proper question for it is obviously they did. The real question is why?

It may be fair to say they are reestablishing control of the black labor force, (Service Employees International Union) SEIU, and restoring racial subordination by and for the white liberal elites.

Still thinking...
