Much of what you say is true, but this conversation on this forum on this day alluded to the "holier than thou" liberal Democratic posters alluding to, implying, and actually attacking anyone not a Democrat as a racist,bigot, white sheet carrying person,
The intent was to finally call to their attention that they, the liberal movement, and the Democratic Party were in fact the owners of racism, began much if it and yet act as if they are the chosen ones.
If you know history, then you are aware of the racist, bigoted roots of their movement. They condemn an entire party with their UN educated posts.
This entire conversation was rooted in that premise.
Applauding the Democratic Party for smart politics in the 60's and 70's in how they manipulated the minority vote is in line, but to ignore the fact that they did and still do manipulate that vote , now to the detriment of our country, is just plain not paying attention
