Hey @charliekirk11, do you also want the history books to teach about The Great Compromise of 1877, when Republicans struck a deal to let GOP'er Hayes become president. In exchange, they pulled federal troops out of the last three southern states. That led to Jim Crow. RT this.
And guess what @charliekirk11? As a result of Republicans agreeing to that compromise, they dealt the death knell to Blacks in Congress. And Black Republicans said the @GOP sold them out for agreeing to the 1877 Compromise. Do you want THIS taught in school? I dare you to RT this
See @charliekirk11, this Black man knows how to read. So every time you present a BS view of American history, especially as it relates to Black history, I'm gonna be like Paul Harvey and tell "the rest of the story." I dare you to RT this.
By the way @charliekirk11, you said "Republicans have always been the party of freedom and equal rights." So why did the @NCGOP use "“discriminatory intent" to deny Black voters their rights? bit.ly/2k8q7mg I dare you to RT this.
Hey @charliekirk11, if "Republicans have always been the party of freedom and equal rights," why do they refuse to deal with the Voting Rights Act, which was seriously gutted by the conservative Supreme Court in Shelby County v. Holder? I dare you to RT this.
Hey @charliekirk11, if "Republicans have always been the party of freedom and equal rights," why did FIVE federal judges rule that the Texas voter ID law discriminated against minorities? The @BarackObama DOJ sided with the plaintiffs. @realDonaldTrump side with Texas. RT this.
See @charliekirk11, this is why you and @RealCandaceO Owens go on @FoxNews and other shows with no Black journalists, and avoid Black media outlets. See, we will fact check you on the spot when you spout this historical nonsense. #BringTheFunk #RolandMartinUnfiltered
