31. Gee, I guess the way President Obama was treated and called every name in the

book, by the republicans doesn't count.

I guess the republican strategy to gain political support in the South by appealing to the racism against African Americans harbored by many southern white voters doesn't count. Hint, that's Nixon's southern strategy, and it is alive and well

The Reagan "welfare queen" lie, along with racially coded appeals to racists to attract their support, nothing to see there.

While historically both parties have racist baggage to hang around their necks, it was the Democrats starting with Kennedy that actively changed that dynamic by embracing civil rights as a major foundation of its platform.

After the Civil Rights Act was passed, it was the republican party that assumed the "Dixiecrat" role, and the republican party's choice for president in 2016, a racist, sexist, and xenophobe, is what they are today as evidenced by the white supremacists that are a part of that administration with people like Bannon and Session. Is it any wonder that the KKK, and all the other white supremacist groups support them?
