A reminder that these are the people who don’t want their grandkids learning about this in school because they wouldn’t have a logical answer for why they did it.
What Nick Cannon said is exactly how misinformation spreads.
Yes, the KKK was tied to Southern Democrats in the 1800s. That part is true.

In the 1960s, after Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the racists who supported segregation did not just disappear…

It’s past time for a change. 🌊
I don't know if James Talarico is a Republican plant but I do know that the last Democrat to win statewide in Texas warned us about this type of Democrat in the Democratic Party.
Texas Democrats' mistake was allowing Republicans to gain so much power that they made sure to rig the system here so they would never have to give it up.
