Talk is cheap so save the lecture Professor. BO ending the DC voucher program that helped so many working class black families afford to send their children to high quality private academies and church-based schools in the nation's capital while sending his own kids to Sidwell showed which side is really running the plantation.

More Republicans voted for the civil rights act, than did Democrats. JFK voted no, twice on it. LBJ didn't run for re-election, because of it. Democrats were PO'ed at him.

I think if they knew the facts they'd acknowledge them ( = avoid the whole issue), but they're not taught the facts.
