Your party had a Klansman as their leader in the Senate till he died in 2010. And it was a Democratic President who rebuffed a request to back a federal anti-lynching law. BTW Hatton Sumners was a member of your party too. No surprise.

"Obama might be a better candidate for our cause because he’s racially conscious. ..... Perhaps the best thing for the white race is to have a black president. My only problem with Obama is perhaps he’s not black enough."
