Is this one of those links where the author ignores how the political parties have changed over the past 150 years?
For instance, George Wallace: a Southern Democrat. Racist, but he was a "Democrat", hence all democrats were racist?
Meaning, look at the Party Designation and not at the person's beliefs, such as liberal or conservative?
That ignores how you had Northern Republicans, Southern Democrats, and so on?
An article that believes that the South, as a whole, decided to switch from the Democratic party to the Republican Party in the period after the Civil Rights Acts were passed? When President Johnson, upon signing one such Act, said "We (Democratic party) have lost the South for the next generation'.

Is it that type of article?
Democrats cannot shake their past, no matter how much rhetoric you try to apply to their history. They are the "slavery Party," and always will be. Even today, they seek to keep blacks enslaved.

Actually it's a respected journalist taking an honest look at the Democratic party and pointing out all the things Democrats blame the GOP for was originally the creation of Democrats. Even if you don't like it.
Funny how you all like to use 'liberal', 'progressive' and 'conservative' on so many threads, but when it comes to political history to 'prove' a bogus point, you opt to only use 'Democrat' or 'Republican'.
The only Republicans in the South after the civil war, were freemen. Black former slaves.
MLK was a Republican as was his father.
The Great Society, brought the black over to the democrats, to buy vote, and how it did. Give a bunch of freebies at all tax payer expense and buy votes.
The grand experiment in freedom for all, will end when the people realize that they can vote themselves, to obtain the entire US treasury.
And so it happened.

God know why would we want to shake our history? The struggles within the Democratic Party to make it more inclusive and progressive are one of the shining points of the Civil Rights era. From Fanni Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1964 to the election of Barak Obama, Democrats of all hues and nationalities have fought relentlessly to make the Party what it is today. This is a simple fact that Republicans with their "on the plantation" bs just don't get. We aren't outside the plantation, we help run it.
It is indeed. But do you know the meaning of the word?
Chicanery is the use of trickery or deception to trick or deceive to achieve a political, financial or legal purpose.
It fits you Democrats and this president perfectly. It especially fits (and it's appalling ) the way Democrats rewrite history not only to hide their bloody misdeeds but to blame them on the GOP.
Shrinks call it projection, I call it lying.
