It has been alleged that if your are a republican, you are a racist, and the
proof of that is that the south is now republican. The left tries to do this
every election to keep the blacks safely in their voting fold, and for the past
several elections, it has worked.
Which is a pity since the best friend the blacks have are the republicans. The democrats that are racists, with few exceptions, remained in the democrat party and either retired or died. While some may point to Strom Thurmond as an example of racist democrats converting to the GOP, the simple fact he is one of only a handful of such cases. <.p>
Instead the real racists continue to inhabit the democrat party, altho they have toned down their rhetoric so as not to offend other members of the liberal coalition. Men Like Sen Byrd (former Kleage in the KKK), Fritz Hollings (who raised the
confederate flag over the SC Statehouse) are still in the senate. Others like
George Wallace, William Fulbright, Al Gore sr. retired as democrats and were
openly embraced by the party even tho their rhetoric was clearly divisive and
racist.
And today, the next generation of democrats, instead of repudiating their past, openly embrace the racists of the past. Bill Clinton talks of his political Idol, William Fulbright. AL Gore jr, has never spoken out against the preachings of his father. Each hold these men high in their esteem, even while pretending to be color blind.
But to be fair, other than bad judgement, the current crop of Democrat politicians, with some notable exceptions mentioned above, are just guilty of idol worship of the wrong kind. I do not doubt they are sincere in their profession of a color blind society.
Still, before buying the opiate of the liberals that 'the racists' have gone to the GOP, perhaps it would be best for them to look in their own closet at the countless skeletons in there. For the truth is that it was the Republicans that got the Civil rights act passed along with Johnson, and it is the Republicans that do more to help
the minorities help themselves, than the enslaving liberals whose only mantra is
the acquisition and consolidation of power, and for that, they must keep their
subjects dependant upon their supposed largess.
Kind of like the slave owners kept the slaves dependant upon them 150 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
