Yeah, it's historical revisionism on a massive scale.

I was actually on a message board arguing with a college student about which party was the party of Abolition. Of course, this lefty just KNEW it was the Dems. I told her she was dead wrong and she called me a partisan, closeminded hack.

I asked her why she did not believe me and she said because her teacher told her what really happened during the Civil War. Damn, it's like talking physics to a five year old, LOL!

LBJ was a real bastard and pushed the Congress mercilessly and I'm sure that he went out of his way to get the Civil Rights act passed. Even then, he got about 62% of the Dems and over 90% of the GOP.

For people who live in the real world, the GOP did EVERYTHING for minorities EXCEPT affirmitave action. Bull Connor was a friggin' dem. All the racist BS done on the South was Dem backed. Hell, we fought a WAR with the Dems to end slavery.

Yet somehow the GOP is racist. Academia and the Media Matrix can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned!

I have a very good black friend who is a dyed in the wool Democrat. Many years ago I asked him what party Lincoln was in and he said the Democrat party. I even bet him he was wrong. These things aren't based on a study of history.

This was a college student? And she was satisfied with "cuz that's what Teacher told me" ??? Pathetic. Must've been an education major!
