there are MILLIONS of democrats - of course there are racists somewhere in that group. But I might point out that it's the dems that put a black man up to run for president, then fully backed him and got him into the whitehouse.
Is the democratic party FULL of racists? No. At least it's not so bad that a prominent insider says so to the press... like what just happened on the repub side...
and it was the dems that pushed the civil rights amendment through... it was JFK that forced southern schools in integrate...
RECENT history shows clearly that the dems are friendlier to minorities than the repubs.... now if you want to go bad 100+ years, you'd have a case....
It certainly was when JFK was President and I seem to remember it was Eisenhower who first used troops to desegregate segregated southern schools.
All of this is in pursuit of little since then our political parties have swapped hats, kj's friend apparently didn't get the memo.
