(24,412 posts)They completely erase the historical context and everything that happened since the 1964 Civil Rights Act to try to pretend somehow that it's the (current) Democratic Party that are the real racists, not the Republicans, despite all of the (current) evidence to the contrary. Republicans never seem to care to wonder why, if the Democrats are supposedly so racist, why almost no African-Americans outside Diamond & Silk will bother to vote for *them*.
