And when exactly did this “split” occur? Was it after Senator John Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act or before Democrats called Condoleezza Rice a house slave and “Bush’s brown sugar?”
Was it after Lyndon Johnson said, “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.” or was it before Chris Dodd said in 2004, “I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation?”
Was it after Bobby Kennedy said, “I did not lie awake at night worrying about the problems of Negroes,” or before Democrats called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a lawn jockey, incompetent, not qualified and an “affirmative action hire?”
Exactly WHEN did the Democrats cleanse themselves of racism????
