Not true. Read the history of the civil rights legislation. The dems/libs/progressives are "The modern day slavemasters"!

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.

Even today.

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.

Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

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.
Would this be coming from a third grader?

I think you better go do some reading yourself.

I rest my case. TY for qualifying my hunch.

I know you really prefer pictures over words but try this:

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/slavery/timeline/index.html

PBS did wonders for my kids back in the early nineties.

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.
