We know, we know. It's "African American."

Yeah, learn the proper form, racist.

Umm... The Democratic party was formed so Andrew Jackson could deafeat JQA, and Jackson was, unlike him, a man of the people. Jackson didn't form it based on racism. The racism was just a very long backwards step until LBJ took over and made it the Civil Rights party again.

In 1820s everybody and their grandmother, except of few Thaddeuses Stevenses, were racist by today's standards.

As of Jackson, he has image of "man of the people", despite him being essentially a conservative landowner. JQC was no folksy at all, but his political program was actually more progressive. Irony.

Democrats are not the party of civil rights and never were.  LBJ only signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for political expediency.  Prior to that, he had opposed every civil rights bill during his term in the Senate.  As he told a group of Southern governors, "I'll have those nig**rs voting Democratic for the next 200 years."   I never said that everything that Democrats do is wrong because of their racist history, and Democrats have certainly done some good (including on civil rights), but when slavery and segregation were relevant issues, Democrats supported them, while Republicans did not.  Whether Democrats support such things now is irrelevant because no rational politician wants a return to slavery or Jim Crow; it would be political suicide.
Also, Shadowlord: Democrats supported slavery before they supported segregation.  And as a Republican, I oppose gay marraige, but I certainly do not hate all homosexuals.

I wouldn't quite say everybody; I'm sure there were plenty of figures who genuinely rejected racism (even if they were in the minority.)

Read bolded line again my friend.

Tangent: Anyone wish Oldiesfreak was here in 2008? Especially during the primary.

Black Democrat clinching the nomination of that RACIST party?

Honestly, as a Republican, I did feel betrayed by that.

Yeah, how dared that BLACK mother#&@$er run as a DEMOCRAT?! Where's the gratitude for Lincoln for freeding the slaves?!

Probably the best part of that is the addition of SpongeBob. I mean WTF?

How can a show that's set underwater but yet has fire and a squirrel (Sandy) NOT be stupid?

Of course it's stupid. Not that stupid as your posting history, though.

Florida- Katherine Harris (Republican)

Also, Allan Schlesinger or whoever in Connecticut.

I wonder for whom would Oldies vote in the Louisiana 1990 Senate election.

How is stating simple facts stupid?

You're yet to state a single simple fact, son. Keep trying.
