IMO, it's time to contribute some historical ugly to the contemporary ugly. Democrats, especially feminist leaders among them, are shrewd racists.




Constitutional Argument:
Speech After Being Convicted Of Voting
In The 1872 Presidential Election
by Susan B. Anthony

Excerpt:
An oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household - which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the nation.





Susan B. Anthony went on to travel and speak with the Democrat racist, George Train. She refused to advocate against lynchings.

I think you’re way off base regarding Susan B. Anthony. She was an abolitionist and a great Republican. Something of a rift developed between her and supporters of black rights in 1869 as many folks abandoned the combined black&woman’s suffrage movement to focus entirely on black suffrage and the 15th amendment. She had campaigned for both causes and I believe felt angry at the way efforts for women’s rights temporarily dried up as friends left it to focus on black issues. She was the very opposite of a racist.
