I agree with this statement. For one thing the south would have been a lot better off. And I am glad to see Dylan did not take the Obama as a solution bait.
The Democrat party institutionalized racism in many ways.
The Democrat Party is the home of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, racial paranoia, the promotion of black genocide through abortion, the disintegration of the family through the government plantation (welfare) system. The root cause and home of racial tension is now, and has always been, the Democrat Party. If more Republicans simply remembered and communicated these historical facts the sooner we might undo the damage caused by the left.
The South would be 100 times better off it it had won the Civil War, independent of NY & New England condescending < expletive deleted >.
