The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The South is rising again. Actually, they've never gone away nor adjusted to healthy society and culture. Still stuck in their own ways. As are Rep/cons everywhere. One thing is, the RW has somewhat successfully made CRT a derogatory term and simple history of fact to do with black people in America to exemplify "CRT".

Its remarkable how long the fear of socialism has played a role.

Now it's all about the "Marxist framework."

"Forrest was an early member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), which was formed by six veterans of the Confederate Army in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the spring of 1866 and soon expanded throughout the state and beyond. Forrest became involved sometime in late 1866 or early 1867. A common report is that Forrest arrived in Nashville in April 1867 while the Klan was meeting at the Maxwell House Hotel, probably at the encouragement of a state Klan leader, former Confederate general George Gordon.

The organization had grown to the point that an experienced commander was needed, and Forrest was well-suited to assume the role. In Room 10 of the Maxwell, Forrest was sworn in as a member by John W. Morton. Brian Steel Wills quotes two KKK members who identified Forrest as a Klan leader. James R. Crowe stated, "After the order grew to large numbers we found it necessary to have someone of large experience to command. We chose General Forrest".

Another member wrote, "N. B. Forest of Confederate fame was at our head, and was known as the Grand Wizard. I heard him make a speech in one of our Dens". The title "Grand Wizard" was chosen because General Forrest had been known as "The Wizard of the Saddle" during the war. According to Jack Hurst's 1993 biography, "Two years after Appomattox, Forrest was reincarnated as grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

As the Klan's first national leader, he became the Lost Cause's avenging angel, galvanizing a loose collection of boyish secret social clubs into a reactionary instrument of terror..."

If you read the conversation (not just Seth Colier's follow-up tweets), you will notice everyone agrees with him. Many tweeters basically say the same thing in different words: "This is familiar." "What's old is new again." "Nothing has changed." Et cetera.

None of his opponents bothered to post a rebuttal tweet.

Meh...its about the same. Back then, the piece of shit rats were opposed to having their racist agenda exposed. Today, piece of shit rats are opposed to having their racist agenda exposed. All the OP is showing is that the piece of shit rats are consistent...then and now.

Confederates/Klan are today's Republicans.

No...they arent. In fact the damage the Klan did to black America is NOTHING compared to the devastation you and the rat party has caused black America. Your klan ancestry was bad to individuals...you people have ****ing destroyed the black family and community. Every ailment and tribulation that black Americans as a people face in this country comes at your hands.

The Rep/cons have worn out "socialist" and moved on to a more-fresh "Marxist" to continue pushing the same old flatly false diatribe. The Dems look on.
