Famous Racists In History

Democrats like to paint Republicans as racists. There is only one problem with that: most of the famous racists down through history have been Democrats. The list has to be topped by Sen. Robert Byrd, a former high-ranking Klan member, Joining him has to be Jesse Jackson (one of his famous racist statements was to call New York City “Hymietown”), Al Sharpton, and (Calypso Louie) Farrakhan, though their racism is against white people. Byrd would probably chafe at being on the same list as those three, but that’s racism, isn’t it? FDR was a bigot and his biggest act of bigotry was against innocent Japanese, whom he imprisoned, just because they WERE Japanese during the second World War. Democrat Jimmy Byrnes was a close confidante of Roosevelt, and almost became Vice President. Then there’s Hugo Black, a former Klan member who became a Supreme Court member. Sen. Ernest Hollings (D-SC), Rep. Dick Gephart (D-MO), Andrew Cuomo, Clinton’s former Housing Secretary, and Mary Frances Barry, who was appointed head of the U. S. commission on Civil Rights, fergawd’ssake! J. William Fulbright (D-AR), Clinton’s mentor, Albert Gore, Sr (he opposed the Civil Rights Act). Sam Ervin(D-SC), and so many more I haven’t room to even list their names. And they say the Republicans are the racists! What a load of BS! (GOP Capitalist)
