But the Democrats' racist tendencies clearly did not. They are still the party insisting that minorities can't make it without government assistance, and implementing programs that hold them back.
So it was not liberal Democrats who supported and practiced black slavery before and during the Civil War, while Republicans fought against it?
And it was not liberal Democrats who enacted and enforced Jim Crow laws against blacks afterward?
And it was not liberal Democrats who stood in school doorways to bar entrance to black children, while Republicans sent the National Guard to forcibly remove them and let the black children enter the schools?
And it is not liberal Democrats who, even today, insist that black people cannot make it in life without significant assistance from government, while making no such claims about white people?
Coulter called it correctly. Liberal Democrats have a 200-year history of racism, and have not broken that habit even today. They are not capable of acknowledging how disgusting and repulsive their racist ideology is, and will fight like cornered skunks against any attempt to point out the truth to them.
No, it was not LIBERAL Democrats. You really, really need to study the history of the political parties.....of course this assumes you're being honest above and don't already know the difference and are trying to confuse "low information" possible voters.
Start at the part about Thomas Jefferson, take time to review where the first members of the Republican Party came from, and then jump to the election of 1948 and Nixon's southern strategy.
That's about all the stomach I have for this nonsense.

Actually, what you are exhausting yourself with is revisionist history.
I love to see these sorts of projection threads out of RWNJs as they're always good for a laugh.
BTW southern Democrats, like southern Republicans, were almost always conservatives not liberals, genius. The big defining difference is the liberals/progressives almost ALWAYS came from the north and the west coast while the south remains stubbornly neanderthal in its conservative racist ideology and so had to be dragged into the modern era kicking and screaming. You also seem to have absolutely no understanding of our Republicans used to be liberals & Dems used to be conservatives before switching sides in the 1960's. The party name doesn't matter as the primary difference has been liberals who were anti-racism and conservatives who were extremely pro-racism.
No please go back to school and take a 6th grade history lesson because you need it. Modern conservatives are "low information voters" indeed.
Anyone who thinks racism is confined to the south and conservatives is sorely mistaken. There are racists everywhere. I'll argue that the south is one of the least racist parts of the country, certainly no worse than any other.
Liberals? Well, actions speak louder than rhetoric. Why don't they just trust people to make their own decisions? Especially minorities? It's those minorities that liberals trust the least to be able to take care of themselves... or think for themselves.
The least racist....really. Ok, I would like to have that argument with you since the south is still the most racist in this country. But yes of course there are racists everywhere.
