Did the republican party name any of those men as the "conscience" of anything?
Alas, it is you and yours who are the blind... It is interesting that you are unable to see that the traction of racism remains strong within the democrat party... Welfare, for example has created generations of black children with no strong male figures in their lives and generational dependence on government hand outs... With the launch of the "great society" program, lyndon johnson told two governors that he would have those n*#%#** voting democrat for 200 years.
More than 22 trillion dollars has been spent on that program and the only visible result is that blacks are even more removed from mainstream society now than they were at the end of the civil war. Welfare has created a situation where academic achievement and success by children is perceived as acting "white". Do you really believe that government, and the democrat party are so inept that even after spending 22 trillion dollars on a series of programs, the result are so staggeringly poor? Far from that, the results are a staggering success. The great society programs produced exactly the result they were looking for. Blacks voting for democrats while being pushed further and further out of mainstream society..
Then there is affirmative action...the most racist policy out of government since jim crow. Imagine, a government policy which states blatantly that blacks aren't good enough to compete with whites, so the standards must be lowered in order for them to have a chance at the American Dream. Democrats here in the 21st century still think that people should be judged by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character... Of course, the great society programs which produced generations of black children with no strong male figures in their lives certainly made sure that there was little chance of the development of anything like character within the general minority population.
Then there is the fact that democrats are big fans of abortion...and which ethnic group is hit hardest by abortion? Grab your phone and pick a city...look up planned parenthood and note where the clinics are located...more than 90% are within walking distance of neighborhoods where minorities are the majority. You believe that is coincidence?
In 2008 harry reid said that obama could win the election because he was light skinned...and doesn't use the typical "negro" dialect. in 2007 biden said “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” A "storybook" man, meaning not your typical black man...and why is he not the typical black man in the US if not for the direct result of decade upon decade of government policy aimed at assuring that the typical american black man was nothing like the typical american white man?
Built yourself a good logical fallacy there....and let me guess, you actually believe it. If you want to find race baiters, look to mainstream democrats, not a few powerless back woods throwbacks who are more than likely victims themselves of the great society programs.
Rewriting history doesn't make it true. Democrats never grew a conscience..The reality is that the Democrats had to change their strategy as blatant racism in the United States was on the decline. With the Democrats strong opposition to equality, there is no way they would have been able to win elections. And one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to see how blatantly racist the policies they implemented as a result of winning those elections were, and remain today. You like to throw around the term alt.reality but all one need do is compare what what you say, on practically any topic to see who actually lives in the alt.reality.
