“A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan,” Gohmert said in a statement.

Go go Gohmert.
 
This should not be considered a joke when we consider the fact that leftists want to eliminate our history, claiming racism as the explanation.

Walter Williams: Democrats' hoodwinking of blacks

Ask any black person which political party has been black people’s political ally. With near unanimity, blacks would answer the Democratic Party. Asked which political party has been hostile to black…

Since its founding in the late 1820s, the Democratic Party has defended slavery, started the Civil War and opposed Reconstruction. The Democratic Party imposed segregation. Its members engaged in the lynchings of blacks and opposed the civil rights acts of the 1950s and ’60s. During Reconstruction, hundreds of black men were elected to Southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the U.S. Congress by 1900. The Democratic Party did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.

President Woodrow Wilson was a Progressive Democrat and an avowed racist who shared many views with the Ku Klux Klan. He resegregated the federal civil service.

A few years later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats. Eighty percent of Republicans in the House of Representatives supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of Democrats did. Democratic senators, led by ex-Klansman Robert Byrd’s 14-hour filibuster, kept the bill tied up for 75 days, until Republicans mustered enough votes to break the filibuster.

They should ban both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Oh, yes, set up a moral equivalency, that’s the answer, one party has stood for slavery, Jim Crow and other things.

Republicans are far from perfect but they don’t stand for those things above.
 
Forget slavery and Jim Crow. I say condemn the Dem party of today for removing police protection from black neighborhoods.
 
No, but the party housed committed segregationists like Strom Thurmond later in its life, so I find it hard to believe it is a committed anti-racist party. My understanding of the full history of the American parties is incomplete though - I appreciate that it’s probably more complicated than popular narratives depict it, with a lot more shifts throughout the length of their existence. Even during the reconstruction era not all Republicans were “radical Republicans” - Lincoln himself said that he would rather not have freed any slaves if he could have, and was himself personally racist.

And Marx and Che Guevara are said to have been racist, look it up if one does not know. So, we should also dispense with any mention of the merits of Marxism, Socialism, Communism as well. <---- By the way, I think and some scholars do to, assert that Che likely changed his views on race, he fought in the Congo. To be fair, people like Marx and others were probably products of their time at that, to be honest. But apparenly, both wrote things frowned on today.

And recent events in China, we know too well.

Marx said some very racist things in personal correspondence, but naturally he was opposed to slavery and wrote a letter to Lincoln congratulating him on ending slavery in the USA. Communism itself would totally destroy the basis for racism in every form, regardless of the personal views of Marx.

I think Che only espoused racist views as a young man before his revolutionary stance grew, but I don’t think he’s a particularly interesting figure from the perspective of communism and Marxism anyway, just as the PRC isn’t either.

This was written before you edited your post, I see what you wrote later on.

As long as we are using historical data, let’s ban the Republican Party for appointing those judges which legalized abortions in 1973 by a vote of 7-2.
 
I am with you here. All the more reason to vote for conservative candidates if you want a chance at sanity on the high court. Democrats, for all their issues, never nominate a less than faithful liberal justice.

Reagan missed on Kennedy and Day O’Connor (though should have had Bork), Bush 1 missed on Souter, Bush 2 seems to have missed on Roberts, and the jury is still out on Trump’s Gorsuch pick.

Senate’s job is to advise and consent, sorry, Democrats controlled the Senate and controlled the Senate for about 40 years straight, it comes down to them just as much as the Republicans. Look it up.

They didn’t let Judge Bork get through.

Since y’all seem to want to ban a political party, why not just be honest and ban democracy altogether?

Seriously.

If it walks like a duck…

He obviously has too little to do.

In these times of great social division and upheaval he chooses to score inaccurate points to mollify his constituents? I think he should look for work in another field.
 
Actually, I don’t think one can predict what is coming down the pipe for the Supreme Court, especially in the days when abortion was left up to the states but there are certainly events in our country’s history that could be looked at.
 
Didn’t this guy just catch COVID after going around without a mask?
 
Because of the Democratic Party rule in cities like Minneapolis (Democratic Mayor, Governor, District Attorney, Attorney General, City Council…), where racial oppression is alleged to exist, I presume that kneeling athletes are protesting the apparent incompetence of the Democratic Party in their treatment of African-Americans.
