    White historians like Wilson helped popularize the Confederate Klansmen, who became the heroes of D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film The Birth of a Nation. The movie’s villains were Black Americans portrayed by white actors in blackface. Wilson agreed to screen the film—which quoted his own book in its title cards—at the White House.

    The blockbuster’s popularity led white men to re-found the KKK, which flourished across the country in the 1920s. Wilson played an active role in promoting the ideology that led to this revival.

    From your citation, the Patron Saint of Progressivism played an active role in the revival of the KKK.

    In common parlance, when a person of Wilson's stature plays an active role in anything, it's fair to say he owns the outcome. Your own citation as much as says Wilson resurrected the KKK, a cult crushed by Republican president Grant.

    Dems will not change and this is who they are. Liberalism destroys everything because that is it's very nature and it is why it cannot continue in the US. Liberal leaders in major cities are destroying the cities through liberal policies and because many of them have no clue how to lead, they just know how to enrich themselves at the expense of the people. Same goes with far left liberal judges. Liberalism can be looked at as a parasite that attachs to a host, infects it, destroys it and jumps to another host. Like many Far Left Democrats who live in one state, turn it blue, destroy it through horrid policies, then move to a Red state where everything is much better. They repeat the process never understanding that they are the very problem.

    Our country was founded against the very principles that liberals and the far left champion today. They hate The Constitution and what it stands for because it isn't a living and breathing document that they can replace. So they chip at the edges and erode the meaning of it's passages in an effort to change it into something they want. They think they are doing good work but they are just plain destroying society and trampling on rights.

    The US will survive only if good Americans stand up and prevent the left from destroying it. Schools, Judicial banch, Government, The FBI and other institutions need to be remodeled and the left wing agitators thrown out and/or jailed if they committed crimes.

    Nobody with a decent set of values is buying your nonsense. Communism, KKK, fascism are all far left wing ideologies designed to destroy people's lives and ruin countries. The KKK was literally a Democrat response to losing The Civil War and trying to destroy the lives of the freed black slaves and return them to the plantations.

    as opposed to the TDS crowd who spent four years trying to undermine the Trump administration because they couldn't get over Saint Hilary losing?

    Which begs the question: Who Loves Big Brother? ;-)

    "R. J.. Rummel, a professor emeritus of political science .... has painstakingly compiled statistics accounting for the number of people killed worldwide by "democide," a term he coined to describe governments' intentional killing ... of civilians....

    ...Rummels books on the subject - particularly "Death By Government" (1994) and "Statistics of Democide" (1997) - provide the most comprehensive estimates currently available, and the ones most often referenced by scholars.

    Rummel estimates that from 1900 to 1987 governments murdered almost 170 million people - a figure that far exceeds the 34.4 million battle deaths thought to have resulted from all the international and civil wars fought during the same period....

    Democide often occurs under authoritarian regimes... Indeed democratic governments were responsible for only about one percent of the twentieth century's death toll from democide...."

    Of course. Byrd for all his earlier racism supposedly changed his ways. I know white people who changed from being racist to being non-racist. Same for blacks who often dislike the thought the idea of not caring about race applies to them, too. Did Byrd change? I wouldn't know and I did watch to see if the guy showed signs of being a racist.

    If we don't accept that people can and do change, there's no redemption. Socialist at age 20 will be socialists at age 50.
    I think Nixon was a bigot and stayed that way. The Southern Strategy was the result of Democrats finally splitting over Civil Rights, something that had been a fight inside the party for 30 years. Republicans scooped up the Southern whites who were pretty much cast out of the Democratic Party.

    The time has come, I believe, for both political parties to accept that America is becoming a multiracial society. McConnell is married to an Asian American. Obama is half white. Something like 20% of marriages are interracial.

    i know a lot of white people who today will judge a black person solely on their character. Race doesn't matter, but they're not going to go with the idea all white people are at least partially racist.

    Go read the definition of fascism. It's frightening how it fits today's left.

    Saying it's 'rightwing' is admitting you don't even know what fascism is.

    There was even one poster here who I constantly remind anytime he talks about authoritarianism .... Who personally stated that anyone that did not get the vaccine should be incarcerated for one year and forcibly vaccinated and have their children permanently removed from them in addition to being fined $1,000.

    Ironically enough.... His handle here is a very Russian name.

    Oh I know exactly who you're talking about. Once off guard, he's easy to push to eye bulging, mouth frothing lunacy.

    Fascists always, always sidle up to capitalists who fear, correctly, revolutionary leftists will take their assets if they get power. Hitler appealed to the capitalists and privatized some of the businesses the Weimar Republican took over. Throughout the war, Hitler made slave labor available to business. Mussolini privatized business, too.

    Wilson was born in the South and a vile racist. There's absolutely no doubt on that point. The thought that guy was a historian makes me spit up lunch. :puke: :puke:
    The KKK was larger during the 1920s when Republicans were in power.

    You won't find me defending Wilson, but don't forget the 1920s were the high point for the Klan.

    Rather than get crabby over Wikipedia articles, focus on their footnotes.
