The Democratic party has a long standing history of racism, from inception on up. They have supported and elected members of the KKK and/or former members of the KKK (One example being the Democratic Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd in 1981). Prominent member Franklin D. Roosevelt created Japanese internment camps in the US during WWII. This led to the imprisonment of an estimated 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry, the overwhelming majority of them natural born second and third generation American citizens.
Roosevelt also appointed two notorious segregationists to the United States Supreme Court. Roosevelt appointed South Carolina segregationist Democrat Jimmy Byrnes to the court. Byrnes was Roosevelt’s second choice behind Harry Truman for the VP nod in his 1944 reelection bid. Roosevelt also appointed segregationist Democrat Senator Hugo Black of Alabama to the court. Black was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan with a notorious record of racism himself. Byrd led the filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and, according to the United States Senate's own website, filibustered the legislation to the bitter end appearing as one of the last opponents to the act before a coalition of civil rights proponents led by Republican Minority Leader Everett Dirksen invoked cloture so that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 could pass.
Hollings, a senior Democrat senator, has made disparaging racial remarks and slurs against minorities. Senator Hollings, who was a contender for his party's presidential nomination in 1984, blamed his defeat in the primaries by using a racial slur against Hispanics. After losing the Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings stated "You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston," referring to one of his opponents, Alan Cranston. A few years later Hollings reportedly used the slur "darkies" to derogatorily refer to blacks. He also once disparagingly referred to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition as the "Blackbow Coalition," and called former Senator Howard Metzenbaum, who is Jewish, "the Senator from B'nai B'rith." Hollings gained international criticism for his remarks about the African Delegation to the 1993 Geneva GATT conference, where he crudely remarked "you'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."
Jesse Jackson has a history of using anti-Semitic slurs and derogatorily calling New York City “Hymietown.” Jackson, a prominent self proclaimed "civil rights leader," is himself guilty of the same bigotry he dishonestly purports to oppose.
Al Sharpton was a central figure who fanned the 1991 Crown Heights race riot, where a mob shouting anti-semetic slurs murdered an innocent Jewish man. Sharpton also incited a 1995 protest of a Jewish owned store in Harlem where protesters used several anti-semetic slurs. During the protests, a Sharpton lieutenant called the store's owner a "bloodsucker" and declared an intent to "loot the Jews." A member of the protest mob later set fire to the store, resulting in the death of seven.
Eric Holder has enacted a number of policies that are racist. Ones such as not prosecuting black men who were intimidating other voters on the grounds that it would promote more blacks to vote. They also have yet to issue any statements against the young black panthers who have put a hired hit on George Zimmerman for the shooting of Treyvon Martin, let alone taken legal action.
The Democrats publicly opposed the civil rights movement at all points such as the following:
The 13th Amendment
The 14th Amendment
The 15th Amendment
The Reconstruction Act of 1867
The Civil Rights of 1866
The Enforcement Act of 1870
The Forced Act of 1871
The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
The Civil Rights Act of 1875
The Freeman Bureau
The Civil Rights Act of 1957
The Civil Rights Act of 1960
The United State Civil Rights Commission
The current party may appear to have shifted their gaze, but they still continually hold racist views. They promote a culture of victimization for all non-white-male people in the world. That they are somehow unable to compete fairly against them and must some how be afforded some sort of disability to be put on a level playing field. They are saying that every NON-WHITE-MALE can compete with white males and must be helped. The only difference now is that they are trying to play into their mentality of victimization they created in minorities to gain power. They feel like they can manipulate minorities by playing off of the most base of emotions to get what they want.
Sources need not be cited. Read a few good history books to verify this if you so desire.
My point is that the party has a history of racism and continues to do so under political tact but hold the same ideals regardless.
