January 16, 2017 The Truth Division News

The above picture was taken during the 1924 Democratic Convention.

It was also known as "Klanbake."

In Madison Square Garden, New York City, from June 24 to July 9, a dispute during came up revolving around an attempt by non-Klan delegates, led by Forney Johnston of Alabama, to condemn the organization for its violence in the Democratic Party's platform.

But Klan delegates defeated the platform plank in a series of floor debates.

To celebrate, tens of thousands of hooded Klansmen rallied in a field in New Jersey, across the river from New York City. This event, known subsequently as the "Klanbake", was also attended by hundreds of Klan delegates to the convention, who burned crosses, urged violence and intimidation against African Americans and Catholics, and attacked effigies of Smith.

The final vote was 546.15 for the Klan, 542.85 against it.

Strange how many blacks don't know that the Democrat party is actually the harbinger of the KKK

The demography, goals and aspirations of the DNC has changed over the years.
It gave us America's first black president and many blacks in positions of power.
Ofcourse, it is obvious it is no longer pro-KKK.

It was a Republican party president, Abraham Lincoln who set Black men free from slavery, but the Democrats that gave American its first Presidential candidate and President .

It is not political parties that are the problems, but the people that animates the issues are the ones that determines what really happens.

For instance, Abraham Lincoln could not have imagined that his party will produce a Donald Trump as its presidential candidate and ultimate president of the USA.
