Quote:The education liberal progressive way...
Bigotry, racism and segregation at its finest aka (KKK)
You would have done well to get yourself a real education that would have equipped you with some critical thinking skills and a more solid grounding in history.
The OLD Dem party were the KKK in the South. That changed in the 60's and then the Repugs started wearing the sheets.
There was a Southern Strategy that the GOP has apologized for. Read up on it.
There is no question which of the two Parties today is home for most of the racial and religious bigots.
Quote:GOP: 'We were wrong' to play racial politics
By Richard Benedetto, USA TODAY
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South.
"It's not healthy for the country for our political parties to be so racially polarized," said Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.

"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South.
Beginning in the mid-1960s, Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems.
