Here I go again, I guess the ol’ Hope and Change thing is getting to me as well; Because I find myself in total agreement with someone. 😀
I’m with Joe Gandelman, who wrote over on The Moderate Voice: (which was in response to this Here)
I mean, really…People will devote three hours of their life a day listening to someone demonize people who disagree with them. Just read and re-read the quotes in that link.
Racism is the province of the left, just as stupidity and a penchant for trying to divide people and whip them up by arousing hatreds that this linked interview illustrates is the absolute province of the right. Both sides have shown they have warts — and he (or she) who claims otherwise needs to see an eye doctor.
I do believe that Joe is bit smarter than I thought. 😉 😛
Let me simply add this, anyone who thinks that the Democratic Party is a perfect political party or that the Republican Party is a perfect political Party; needs their head examined. As Joe said, albeit not as explicit as me; racism was, and in some cases in the deep south; is still a part of the Democratic Party.
Just as well, there are those who left the Democratic Party in the 1960’s, who resented the whole idea of the civil rights for blacks and joined the Republican Party. Trent Lott is a perfect example. Yes, Racism did exist in the Republican Party, Senator Jesse Helms was very resistant to idea of Civil rights; although, many people did not know this, but helms had a black staffer, and also had an adopted black son.
To end this, let me simply say this, racism was a part of the American fabric, I do not condone it, I do not justify it, but to act like one party is racist and the other has never been racist, is just utter idiocy…..and it seems that there is a great deal of idiocy within the ranks of Obama supporters, as of recent.
