During World War II, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower overcame racism and made the decision to arm African-American soldiers with weapons.

I think he followed orders.

In 1957 and 1959, Republican President Eisenhower proposed civil rights bills to enforce the 15th Amendment, strengthening the rights of African-American to vote. Senate Democrats filibustered the bills and watered them down.

The civil rights bill of 1957 was little more than political posturing. That’s exactly why there had to be another one 7 years later.
 
I agree that we should ban the Democratic party for its roots in slavery and racism, but I think that we should follow this logic through to its conclusions and just abolish the United States entirely.

Even more logically, we should ban communism and fascism for killing 100 million or more civilians in the last century.

How ironic to see a Republican, of all people, engage in wasteful spending of taxpayer money with this preposterous political grandstanding.

When we see politicians wasting time across the US voting to remove innocuous statues, or allow their cities to be destroyed and do nothing or at a federal level dress in fake-African attire and take a knee while on the clock, I’d say complaining about wasting time is pointless. You can find examples on both sides. And if hypocrisy is your issue, the Democrats voted to exempt themselves from the ACA. Plenty of that to go around too.

Rest assured, I’m an Independent and will bash both major parties of equal aplomb. In this specific case, however, Republicans are on the hook for being the party of whining about wasteful government spending while engaging directly in it. No amount of whataboutisms will change this fact.

If the United States is so evil and racist, then why do millions of immigrants try to get into the United States each year? More than any other country, they choose the United States.
 
This really does strike me as silly. Who cares now how the Dems were about segregation decades ago. How about how they offer nothing to blacks but abortion now? Trump pushed for employment for them and achieved it. What have the Dems done other than remove police from patroling their neighborhoods?
 
Whenever I see athletes kneeling during our “National Anthem”, I presume that they’re protesting against the Democratic Party: Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed, has a Democratic Mayor, Democratic District Attorney, Minnesota a Democratic Governor, and a Democratic Attorney General. And, Minneapolis even had an African-American Police Chief.

Who cares? Republicans defensive about their party’s stance as to issues involving minorities. They spout revisionist theories about history and highlight useless statistics.

Actually, Chicago, Minneapolis, Baltimore have had Democratic Party Mayors for many decades.

Chicago’s mayoral race is non-partisan. The reason why will surprise you.

I don’t know if you can call the current mayor of Chicago a Democrat since this is her first elective office.
 
Chicago has not had a Republican Mayor since 1931.
Hence the shootings and crime.

IL had Republican governors 1974-2002. Hence the shootings and crime.

You exhibit what the Jesuits call the ‘post hoc’ fallacy. Don’t confuse and antecedent with a cause.
