Right, but history doesn't support the idea that the Republican Party is better for minorities than the Democratic Party - like I said, MANY racist Democrats left the party and went to the Republican Party during the civil rights movement - that's not an accident. Furthermore, the current Republican Party has a penchant for pulling the "race card card" which systematically ignores the experiences many blacks have with racism in this country by reducing them to mere attempts at "pulling the race card".
Strom Thurmond and . . . who?
He was the only segregationist Dem who switched parties.
