Interesting that the Republicans frequently get labeled racists. What short memories some have in this country. The Republicans were the ones who freed the slaves, lest we forget. I think a lot of people equate not supporting AA to being racist, which is quite far from the truth.
So you are going to pull out 140 year old "evidence" to prove that the Republicans aren't historically racist??? In the immortal words of Eddie Murphy, "What have you done for me lately, Eddie?" You need to remember the actions of the GOP circa 1950-1970 before you sling that crap.
If you're going to judge by that time period, you're going to end up with a lot of Southern Democrats being in the same boat.
And almost all of them turned into Republicans. Lincoln was the last Republican who would not have been endorsed by the KKK.
The Republicans of then are not the same as the one we have now (and this has been stressed a millions time but people like bigtexxx still willfully refuse to see the light). Also, the racist south of ante bellum America is still about what we have today and they are predominantly republicans. This is not a misinformation - Republicans are more likely to be labelled racist that any other in America today. The fact or perception is/was not founded on ignorance rather documented history of the said group or rather members of that group.
Please list for me all the racist actions of Republicans in the past 10 years (the "Republicans of today", as you refer to them as). Please indicate how these actions compare and contrast to those of the Democrats, while you're at it. Thanks in advance. You people are really stretching things to label Republicans as racist. This kook in Tennessee is not supported by Republicans.
That would actually be rather easy, but boring; anyway, you explain the "Southern Strategy" to me. Texxx, did you actually not know that southern democrats fled to the Republican party over its stance on civil rights issues in the 70's and 80's? Or did you actually know it and were hoping that you could slip it by somebody? Tell Jorge I said hello.
