Yet you post in a thread about the JFK files which is a history lesson. Sucks that your party is being exposed for what they are. Truth is treason to some.
I am tired of people claiming that neither party has changed over the years. Nothing remains static, and I doubt that either of the major political parties as they are today would be recognizable to anyone who lived 150, 100, or even 50 years ago.
# Its inherently racist to believe that blacks are not smart enough to know what party, in the present, best represents their interest. Are whites smart enough to know what party represents their interest?
# Why do people on the right, who are always trying to diminish/discredit racism as a problem, try to argue that racism is alive and well in the democratic party?
# Who would most likely be the racist. The party trying to block what black people want or the party that tries to assist black people in getting what they want?
# A racist on your team is better for you than a non racist on the opposing team, because he needs you to succeed in order that he can succeed, while the opposition is working against both your interest, even if they are not racist. There are racist in both political parties, but racist in the Democratic Party need blacks on their team in order to get victory for their interest that are opposed by the opposition.
# The real problem for black people has never been left right ideology, but rather, white ideology of racism.
In the 20's being in the Klan was like being a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Woodie Guthrie's dad was a member. Donald trump's dad was a member. DH grandpa was a member.
Most real estate property had the clause in it that the property could not be sold to Blacks. That clause was on a couple houses I bought in Houston and Webster Groves Mo. IIRC, it said Negros. According to the JBS published book, A Texan Looks at Lyndon, it was also on the ranch.
Before y'all build up a head of steam about individuals please remember the sundown laws in many many towns. As a child I saw lots of the ladies in the neighborhood sitting in their cars at the bus stop with the maid waiting for the bus.
My town had several areas where the owners of the lots could only be white Christians. If an owner of a house in River Oaks married a Jewish person, she could live in the house, but never own it.
It does matter what happened years ago. I had to buy poll tax. My kids drank from colored water fountains.
I am more concerned about the party passing laws making voting more difficult, today.

Agreed Although that has nothing to do with my post.
I'm tired of people ignoring history. It causes them to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Good ole progressive government. Going places it shouldn't.

The real problem is the culture of victimhood fostered by the media and black leaders. The real problem is to somehow think that a sympathetic elected official (black or white, HRC or Obama) will save them.
Most Dems were Klan members up till the 1960s. Then they decided they needed black votes and presented themselves as the saviors of blacks. It was a brilliant strategy and they garner 90%plus of the black vote.
LBJ sign the War on Poverty which increased fatherless families from 20% to 73% and climbing. The welfare state destroyed the black family---------- so as far as i am concerned all those southern Dems are still Klan members. And the worst type of racism is the one that HRC practices, the condescending and pandering attitude.
Most Latinos and Asians support the Democratic party too. But of course you leave that out because MAGA Trump fans are obsessed with black people.
The people who are still Klan members are the Republican party. That's why David Duke, the tiki torch white supremacists, and Nazis today all support Donald Trump. And he supports them.
