Bill Clinton, the first black president. It's too bad he is from a party that hates black people. I know that is a bold statement but let me continue.
Who freed the slaves? The Republican party. What was the main party of the South? The Democratic party. Now, I know at the this point Democrats are shitting themselves. Calm down. Quit yelling at your screen, "But, the Republicans back then would be Democrats today." No, you are wrong. Yes, it is true that for a long time Republicans were liberal and Democrats were conservative. Yes, I am well aware of this. But back then our government and society was much more conservative than it is now. We fought back then for a government between then and now. Democrats back then wanted a government that was more conservative. Now they want one that is more liberal. Times changed, but the Grand Old Party did not. Just look at my diagram:
Left(Liberal) Right(Conservative)

This is not entirely accurate, but you get the idea. The Democratic party switched, as the goverment became liberal.
Anyways, more questions.
Who WROTE and voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964? The Republican Party. Don't believe me. "...an interesting historical fact is that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was written by Republicans, and muscled into passage over fierce Democratic opposition--including a filibuster by Robert Byrd, who is still in the Senate. Only a tiny handful of Republican Senators voted against the bill."
http://www.deanesmay.com/archives/000236.html Hmmm Robert Byrd, who the hell is he? Why, a former KKK recruiter and still a member of the senate. Is he a filthy, racist Republican? My heavens no, he's a Democrat.
Who believes that the Republican party doesn't have "people of color" and implied that all hotel staff must be of a minority group by saying, "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here"? Howard Dean, the head of the Democratic party.
What party believes that African-Americans need help getting into college because of their race and believe that entrance should not be blind, but rather extra points should be given simply due to skin color? The Democratic party. Didn't the great Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. say, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
What party has their head so far up their ass they didnt't realize they were racist until this moment?
