What has led you to that conclusion? Because the Klan were yellow dog democrats when they were lynching blacks. It was the Republicans fighting for civil rights (though maybe a bit half heartedly) till Lyndon Johnson. Learn some history, maybe start with the Little Rock Nine. But there is hope. Fifty years after critics charged one Republican President with risking a civil war by sending federal troops into a Southern city to enforce integration, a Republican President is taking on the problem of underperforming big-city schools and what he calls the "bigotry of low expectations." President George W. Bush is seeking renewal of the No Child Left Behind law, which holds schools accountable for teaching every student and narrowing the achievement gap regardless of a child's color, income or family background. time.com
