So who is the real racist party?
This article is a response to the perception that the Republican Party has been more racist than the Democratic Party...
In the Wall Street Opinion Journal, Bruce Bartlett makes a strong case to support this comment:
"Following are some quotes from prominent Democrats largely drawn from my new book, 'Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party's Buried Past.' Even with the exclusion of all quotes that contain the N-word, it is clear that many of the Democratic Party's most important historical figures have long made statements that reduce Reagan's alleged transgression to a drop in the ocean. If we are going to hold him and his party accountable for a single mention of states' rights, then the party of those listed below is far more culpable in promoting and defending racism."
