I'm really tired with your crap. You won't find a single person here who'd deny civil rights origins of the GOP and the Democrat's evil past regarding this issue.

Knowing history is good, but not when you're using it as an excuse to ignore the present reality which may not be pleaseant for you.
It's not a present reality.  And nobody here may deny this history, but plenty of high-profile Democrats have and they just pretend that they were the heroes of civil rights and that all the horrible things that happened to blacks throughout our history were caused by Republicans.

Who?


This guy?

That actually has nothing to do with your previous argument. [fixed your link]
This woman chairs the DNC, and she's suggesting that Republicans want to bring back Jim Crow, so it's clearly imllicit that she is projecting her party's past as the party of Jim Crow on Republicans.



No where in this video is she suggesting that Democrats were the heroes of civil rights or that Republicans were the opponents of it as you had said.  In fact, none of what she says even hints at any of the ideals either party stood for in the past.  That wasn't the point of the metaphor.

Yes, but it's still ridiculous to suggest that any rational person wants to bring back Jim Crow.
