That statement in no way implies that no Republicans have been racists and no Democrats for equality. My point is that the present day racism in the Democrat party has just gone underground and taken a different twist. In order to get the black vote, they have enacted policies that have destroyed the black family, murdered millions of unborn black babies, enacted AA ("the soft bigotry of low expectations") and in general tried to enslave African-Americans by enticing them into their racist policies.
btw, your points seem to be more about north/south than Republican/Democrat, and I made no reference to that geographical difference. Steven Douglas was from Illinois as well as Abe Lincoln.
I understood your point, and I'm contradicting you. History doesn't take sides or play favorites. Anthropomorphizing it into a witness for the prosecution/defense is a mug's game, one beloved of scientific-materialist Communist theoreticians and propagandists.
People just make their moves, and other people make other moves. That's history.
As for who's been where on "civil rights", see my last.

As far as recent history is concerned, you won't get an argument from me on that subject. The performance and delivery of many parties involved in the "civil rights movement" has been disappointing, but then we're dealing with people, not plaster saints. That's why conservatives are so dry, when liberals are so sanguine and damp.

That's just how things have played out in U.S. history. That division was key to the destruction of the old Federal Republic and the substitution of the new centralized nation-state that has hypertrophied into the self-validating, self-constituting, omnicompetent, omnipresent, overweening superstate that we rightly deplore and fear.
