Bumped again for obvious reasons.

For the love of God, Oldies use it. I can even give you your own Deluge if you want.

The Democratic Party is no longer racist. You're an African American and yes, while "Democrats" like Jackson, Breckenridge and Buchanan were racist, it was FDR and especially Eleanor, both Democrats who started to work to expand black rights in the modern day. There's no doubt that we still had racist Dems after that like Bill Fullbright and even still today, but you should understand that while history's important, present day politics will always matter most. Republicans are against government assistance that blacks in large quantities need, have little diversity in the party, support racist Stand Your Ground laws, are against affirmative action, and you can see in conservative Tea Party Republicans like Kasich and Walker try and suppress the vote of blacks by cutting early voting, requiring IDs to vote, and ending Sunday voting. Lincoln Chafee, a Republican turned Democrat, is not racist. Charlie Crist, a Republican turned Democrat, is not a racist. Jim Jeffords, a Republican turned I-D, is not a racist. Al Franken, a DFL, is not a racist. Amy Klobuchar, a DFL, is not a racist. Dianne Feinstein is not a racist. Barbara Boxer is not a racist. Sherrod Brown is not a racist. Ed FitzGerald is not a racist. Mark Schauer is not a racist.

Martin Luther King was also close to the Democrats and the Kennedys, but I guess that was just his racism.

Martin Luther King never identified or affiliated with any political party.

He was much, much, much closer to the Democrats than he was to Republicans. He opposed Goldwater in 1964 and thought very little of Reagan.
