No Historic Republicans

And liberals are always re-writing history.
bastards. trying to get equality for women and minorities

Liberals and progressives have been re-writing major portions of American history for decades. If the facts don’t line up with your agenda, change them so they do.
Want to win the black vote? Re-write history to erase Republican successes on civil rights while white-washing—did that sound racist?—your party’s connections to the Klu Klux Klan.
Want to raise taxes? Re-write history and tell Americans that Bill Clinton’s 1993 increase of personal income taxes on the top bracket—which had a very negative effect on the economy—resulted in 23 million jobs being created. You also rewrite the part that shows that this job growth didn’t occur until Clinton agreed with Newt Gingrich and the House Republicans about cutting the capital gains rate in 1997. Actually, you don’t rewrite that part, you just leave it out.
Want the right to murder your unborn child without restrictions? First, re-write the definition of abortion by calling it a “women’s health” issue, then re-write the history of abortion to include made up numbers about “coat hanger” abortions.
Want to join Obama in embracing radical Islam? Re-write American history to include the contributions made by Muslims “throughout our history” while simultaneously dismissing America’s Christian heritage.
There are many more examples, but you get the idea.

I think we all would have spit out our coffee in amazement the moment we learned the republicans had run a colored boy for president.
But which party has it's historic roots to the KKK?

But but but back then the liberals were republicans didn't you know that? No one is alive to refute it so it's true.

For the last 100+ years the Republican base have been preaching to a large percentage of their base that blacks, hippies and northerners are the problem. Now they have added immigrants & terrorists. The Republican base wants to downplay ethnicity.

Look at the policies of Republican president Teddy Roosevelt a hundred years ago. He'd be labeled as a RINO today:

Fixed it for you.
Blacks, hippies, northerners, illegal immigrants and terrorists.
Sounds like Hillary Clinton's core voters.

Which one. Where's this manual? When did this happen?

By definition, social conservatives are always going to be on the wrong side of history. Unless we still have those that think blacks should be 2nd class citizens or that women shouldn't be able to vote...
The Republicans and Democrats basically flipped platforms 100+ years ago

oh, baloney. more misuse of a term, with denigrating "definitions" that suit a lib's political agenda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conservatism_in_the_United_States
Social conservatism in the United States is a right-wing political ideology that advocates against social progressivism, centered on the preservation of traditional beliefs. The accepted aims of the movement often vary amongst the various organisations it comprises, making it hard to generalise about the ideological preferences of its professed adherents. There are, however, a number of general principles to which at least a majority of social conservatives adhere, such as the rejection of the sexual revolution, abortion, LGBT rights, feminism, and the opposition to the growth of Islam in the United States. Social conservatives in the United States by and large ideologically support Evangelicalproselytism.Social conservatives describe their views regarding socio-political issues as based in traditional Judeo-Christian or family values. Social conservatives typically oppose same-sex marriage and abortion.In American politics, the Republican Party is the largest political party with some socially conservative ideals incorporated into its platform. Social conservatives predominantly support the Republican Party, although there are also socially conservative Democrats who break ranks with the party platform. -
I don't see anything there that refers to "blacks should be 2nd class citizens or that women shouldn't be able to vote.."
baloney.

Jim Crow and "separate but equal" weren't spawned from social progressives. Just taking a shot in the dark.

To be fair the equal part probably was.

And one can't help but notice that these days in the spirit of Jim Crow, that for every organization, event or award there seems to be at least one, if not more, version specifically for African Americans.
Would that be considered social progress or not?

I think ultimately things like those would not exist in a fully equal society. But they exist for basically every subset of non-white-males, mainly because the system is skewed in favour of white males.

Are the organizations, events, and awards being separated by law or by the choices of the individuals in the organizations? I bet the KKK has an annual potluck. They probably don't allow black people there. When it becomes the mantra of the local government then it becomes an issue.

Chris a full and equal society? Please.
Logic, of course they aren't mandated by law.
That's the point. Separatism is often chosen. When it's allowed.
But is the Ku Klux Klan your only example?
