In the United States, there is a common phenomenon of racism within the Democratic Party, one of the two major American political parties that make up the corporate duopoly. This phenomenon dates back to the founding of the party by Andrew Jackson in 1828, with the Democrats invoking Indian Removal as a major campaign platform in the 1828 American presidential election.[1] Democrat Martin Van Buren later oversaw the infamous Trail of Tears.[2] In the decades leading up to the American Civil War, the Democrats were viewed as a vanguard party for the institution of slavery.[3] During the Civil War, Confederate States was run by Democrats as a one-party state[4] and racism was publicly declared to be the cornerstone of the short-lived government.[5] After the Civil War, Democrats established the Ku Klux Klan[6] and implemented Jim Crow laws in order to subjugate African-Americans.[7] By the 1960s, the Democrats openly advocated "segregation forever"[8] and served as the largest opponents of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[9] Since the Deep State color revolution, however, the Democrats have become infamous for reweaponizing racism against White Americans and have attempted to rebrand themselves as the inheritors of the civil rights movement,[10] although incumbent Democrat President of the United States Joe Biden has expressed various White supremacist opinions in recent years.[11][12][13][14]
