I, for one, would like to see this so-called rap sheet. WE didn't create the KKK. WE didn't stand in the way of the Civil Rights Act. Who did all that? Guess which party!
As I remember ...
When the public accomodations law was proposed in Congress, which didn’t just outlaw the Jim Crow State laws in the South, but went the extra step to make it a federal crime for any business which served the public to “discriminate”.
Some farsighted Republicans said, “Wait a minute, that expands the scope of the Federal Government way beyond the limits set by the Constitution.”
Liberals responded with charges of racism, and black culture bought it. Republicans have been stuck with the “racism” label ever since.
