The GOP was also reminded of all the Black Republicans elected across the (smaller) United States after the Civil War, before Jim Crow laws effectively quashed Black voting rights across the South for three generations. "They can't even get their own history right," University of Texas law professor Steve Vladeck sighed at the GOP, quoting the History Channel: "In all, 16 African Americans served in the U.S. Congress during Reconstruction; more than 600 more were elected to the state legislatures, and hundreds more held local offices across the South."

Today's Republican Party is significantly different than the one Abraham Lincoln launched on the national stage — and today's Democratic Party has also changed a lot since its Jim Crow/Dixiecrat days.

But if you are not familiar with Reconstruction, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me host Peter Sagal suggested you will probably still have to check out your own books on the subject. "In 1868, Black freedmen made up a majority in the [South Carolina] legislature's lower house," he tweeted. "Teaching what happened to them and why is now illegal in many states."

Obvious facts, which the RWs would rather die than admit.
 
I'm still waiting for that list of members of this community who ever denied that Lincoln was a Republican.

He certainly would have no place in the party in its present formation.

Jefferson Davis would.

Damn autocorrect. Divisive. Straight up divisive bullshit and you all devour it.

It is entirely true, that Lincoln would not be welcome in the present GOP and Davis would. The party's Southern base consists largely of white people descended from those who, before the 1960s, always voted Democrat because the GOP was the party of Lincoln, while those few Southern blacks who could vote always voted Republican for the same reason.

More of the bullshit leftist narrative needed to keep people divided.

Are you seriously arguing that Black Americans would vote Republican if the Democrats didn't acknowledge that racism still exists? How stupid so you think they are?

And who needs to keep the people divided? It ain't the Dems and it ain't the leftists.

It's a time-honored myth among Republicans - right up there with "We were the real heroes of the civil rights movement" and the constant regurgitating of that one Martin Luther King quote out of context - that Democrats depend upon divisiveness to attract Black voters. What better way to wash their hands of their own culpability in the real reason why most Blacks vote Democratic?

I just had this discussion in another thread about the history of blacks as republicans… ugh! I’m not repeating it. Go there to read it.

CRT thread.

I already did. Your argument was nonsense there and it's nonsense here.
 
MAGA boasts ", We have one black senator!"

bodysong comment - Yes, Americans have noticed how many people sold out to Trump.

No, it's historical half-truths and a whole lot of Republican party propaganda.

This is why CRT needs to be taught. Get rid of all this political agenda bs. Some things are just facts. Get over it. Jesus wasn’t white, Christmas isn’t his birthday and there are black republicans. 😂

Nice dodge, but no one denied that there are some Black Republicans. The issue is that you're vastly overestimating how many there are, and also applying another time-honored Republican propaganda trick, pretending certain fundamental political changes never happened.

Actually, I stated that they did in the other thread with a timeline. Read down further. 💋
And I even stated it not half of blacks but a lot more then people realize. Just read back further. You missed my points on the topic.
