Wow you have a very confused information on who is doing what in your country. Historically yes it was Democratic Party that was against desegregation. But those leaning have been flipped. Conservative are now the ones trying to hide the past mistakes of the United States. They are the ones looking to hide Red Lining, the harshness of slavery, and the treatment of minorities. If you look into the groups pushing for the banning of books you'll find they are run and/or supported by conservative money.

We are so going to the Flamez selection.

From this comment, I take it you do not live in the U.S.? If so, you must be learning your facts from fictious history schoolbooks or the Liberal Media. Let me set your straight. For example: The Left/Democrats had slaves. They started the Civil War to keep them, under the guise of "states' rights", which they are trying to take away today. Then, they started the KKK and Jim Crowe Laws. They fought desegregation all the way into the 1960's (look up George Wallace). They started the Red Lining under FDR to keep blacks from moving into white neighborhoods, preventing blacks from buying foreclosed white people's houses during the depression. They fought the desegregation of our military. They fought the equal rights movement of the 1960's, lambasting the Kennedy brother's for going against the party on these issues, finally (conspiracy theorists say) killed both of them. After Red Lining was outlawed, they created what we call "Projects", which is low-income housing, targeting blacks away from the upper white housing areas. Also, a thing called "Section 8" which was money given to low-income people, mainly blacks for the first couple of decades, to rent houses in, you guessed it, areas away from the rich white Democrats. In 1990 when I started my police career, the Projects and Section 8 areas were 95% black. Now, we have a criminal and traitor as Executive Leader and criminals and traitors in the Congress and Senate that are profiting off "The Green New Deal" by investing in our economical and geopolitical enemy, China because that's where all the parts to make the "Green Shit" comes from, while U.S. companies got locked down by Covid Mandates for two years. Our "open borders" are letting in upwards of 2 to 3 million illegal immigrants to get votes, but since they got here, they have gotten the shaft by the same Left leaders that invited them. BLM made millions and millions of dollars from donations and the heads of that movement bought 9-million-dollar mansions in and around Hollywood, and the poor black citizens they promised to help, got NOTHING. Though I have always disagreed with some things my country's leaders have done, right now, I feel like I'm living in the decline of the Roman Empire.
And if you would actually read what I had typed, I didn't deny the Right was for banning books, but it was sexually explicit books from 9 year olds, while the Left wants to ban great literary works that happened to make them look bad by showing them for what they were in the past. If they have changed, why are they trying to hide the past? Just say, "Hey, that was past Democrats, but we changed when we realized they were wrong". Why? because they haven't changed.
"They are the ones looking to hide..........the harshness of slavery" Do you watch "The View" in the country you live in? The statement made was some slaves learned skills that helped them establish successful livelihoods after they were freed". No where did anyone say it wasn't harsh, cruel or inhumane. That's your Leftist controlled media twisting words and leaving out important words in their reporting.
And by the way, I didn't read this in books or from the Right Media. I was born in 1961 and have watched a lot of this happening during my lifetime, living in a, you guessed it, a Democratic run city that used Red Lining until 1968 (Three high schools, one mainly white, one mainly black and one mainly Hispanic) and started building Projects in 1969 and their policies have turned my hometown from a thriving industrial blue-collar city to a ghetto.
