And all these centers of Black poverty in
New Orleans, New York, Miami, Boston,
Phldelphia Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,
Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Fransisco...

Hiistorically Democrat run States and Demoocrat
run cities...."Bastions" of liberal Progressivism...
The main centers of low wage slave concentration camps
without the barbed wire, but the race pimps surely
are there...makin sure that everybody stays on
the Democrat plantations, and blaming the *republicans
for their Democrat enforced low expectations for
themselves.

Fallacy after fallacy. Today's Trent Lotts, and all other stripes of Republicans, especially those who label themselves as ''social'' vis-a-vis ''fiscal'' conservatives were once Democrats. Their party change came after the Democrats in 1948 refused to support a continued segregation policy in the party platform. It was the Dixiecrats and their third party in 1948 who evolved into today's GOP majority in the Old South in protest to the Truman/FDR Democrats' insistance in social desegregation. It was the Strom Thurmond crowd that walked out of the 1948 Democrat convention to perpetuate segregation of the races who are today's Republicans. It is just as fallacious to use the contrast between Jackson and Lincoln as the corner stone idol of the respective parties.

History is more complex than superfical party labels that are transitory with changes in societial changes.
