Mildsalsa has a good point. That's some interesting history. Everyone should not forget the Indians had this land first. Talk about genuine wrongs of racism. It's been said that african people sold their own kind to be brought here for labor purposes.(that's what I've heard anyway)
Where's the Republican poll that cites all their crimes and misdeeds? This is a bogus poll because both parties have plenty of racist skeletons in their closets.
No, I was not really aware of this.
Just put a map of the Repug Red states over the slave states and it fits like a glove - case closed.
except that racist history pretty much ended in the 60s with the Dixiecrats splitting off and Johnson's policies of desegregation, which handed the Solid South to the Republicans for the next 40 years.
Sounds about right
