While having logical  debates on ethnic harmony  with Democrats today is almost impossible due to ignorance of the crimes of the democrat party, ignorance of the facts. Most of the progressives and democrats today do not know that they have membership in a confederate organization which caused slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow which is a real ethical and “human rights’ problem. Even today, we are  not sure how anyone in good conscience can pay dues and remain a member of a historically confederate group which was responsible for the: death, enslavement, terrorism and rape upon so many poor ethnic citizens of the United States.

In sum, the confederate organization known as the democrat party should be disbanded by the government for being complicit in the crimes of slavery, terrorism, war crimes, and the loss of 500 thousand young Christian boys killed in the Civil War, and other human rights crimes.
