This is simply what happens when American do NOT know their history. There's a WHOLE network (FOX) pushing this topic, all while not knowing the knowledge OF proper American history.

The base of this Kanye thing started with "Blacks are brainwashed and democrats didn't want slavery to end. Republicans freed slaves."

That is NOT entirely true. If you see that comment, it is NOT true.

Southern and Northern democrats went to war over slavery, though, initially slavery wasn't the root behind the civil war. They (republican controlled executive party) wanted the 13 colonies turned into the united states and needed men to fight. Thus, they started promoting "we need men, we'll take care of your family' approach to get men signed up for war. Of course, black men signed up. They were poor, uneducated, and kidnapped from an entire Continent.

Northern democrats wanted slavery to end, while southern democrats didn't want black people free. Even after 300+ years of free labor from black people. They went to war.

The democratic party became the part of the colored people during the war, because Northern democrats started to include "discrimination and civil rights" topics into their campaigns, thus; creating the modern day democratic system we see today.
