        The difference being a constitution that did not give Rosa Parks and millions like her equal rights?

        The opposite of democracy is not republic. If our republic isn't a democracy, then what is it?

        The two are not mutually exclusive. Haven’t you ever heard of a Democratic republic? Strictly speaking he’s right but can’t string together enough cohesiveness to explain himself.

        It's interesting to note: Both Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King were VERY MUCH AGAINST IMMIGRATION! They were (rightfully) afraid/aware that Hispanics would INCREASE RENT in THEIR neighborhoods and REDUCE WAGES as supply/demand curve shifts downward. Remember, Liberals?pic.twitter.com/KhseVPArI9

        Lib/Leftist progressive Dems DO NOT WANT to remember, in fact, they are TRYING to rewrite FACTUAL history into a 'revisionist' history to HIDE their RACISM -then & now! Ida B. Wells-Barton was BEFORE Rosa Parks; do some research & you'll know WHY they hide Ida!pic.twitter.com/GPXOWO6TFu

        Your stat is absolute rubbish without context. Party labels is just labels. Judge them by today's standards. They keep evolving. A democrat today isn't a Democrat b4 the civil rights act. A Republican today isn't a Republican during abolishing.

        MLK(who was AGAINST abortion, gay marriage) literally told Lyndon Johnson if he signed it, he'd get the "Black Votes" for decades. Democrat President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.(LBJ was a KKK member growing up) LBJ-"Well have ni**** voting DEM for 200 years"

        On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. In several weeks Alabama will need to decide if it surrenders its morality. @michaelianblack @McTestaInc @WilDonnelly @GovHowardDean #seektruth
