"A consciously falsified or distorted interpretation of the past to serve partisan or ideological purposes in the present". James McPherson That is precisely what you are trying to do here. It won't wash. I had racist quotes from Democrats like Kennedy, Johnson, Al Gore Sr. All of whom are dead. Have been for a long time. I had a list of "firsts" from the Republican party regarding black Americans. All of which were a long time ago. Here we are, less than two years left on the nation’s first black president. It looks like race relations have gotten worse, not better. Yeah. Racist whites are a lot more vocal than they were before. As far as I can see, the only reason for that is we have a black man in the White House. I can't help but noticed that you completely ignored Nixon's Southern Strategy. umich.edu It was a cynical but effective strategy. Y'all even bragged about it at the time. I can understand why you are trying to shove it down the memory hole, but you can't.
