I would appreciated any insight that people have, most especially Black citizens, how they can support a party that has a history of aligning itself with outright racists who are determined to deny them basic rights. The situation has virtually flipped from the party that supported abolition to a party that has embraced the worse elements of racism that extends to any non-white. I am addressing the situation as it exists today. I realize that it has a complicated history, but the lines are clearly drawn today.
