They Want Us to Forget

Democrats never lose an opportunity to accuse Republicans of being racist, hoping we'll forget their own long history of INSTITUTIONAL racism. Frankly, for years, the Confederate Battle Flag doubled as the symbol of the Democrat Party. Some candidates actually ADOPTED it as part of their campaign, most notably in the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1992. They want us to forget that some of the TOP Democrats were PROUD racists, among them Fritz Hollings, Harry Truman (by his own admission), Joe Biden (“You can't go into a Dunkin' Donuts if you don't have an Indian accent”), Hillary Clinton, who used the “N” word many times, Sen. Robert (“sheets”) Byrd, who was a top Klansman, Al Gore's father, also a Democrat. I could name many more, but I won't. You need to do SOME research on your own. But it's really hypocritical to say Republicans are racist when your own party has had such an “institutional history” of racism. (The Blaze)
