This is how I view racism and bigotry.

Righties always trot out that Dems started the KKK. This is true. What the Righties always leave out, because it doesn't fit their agenda, is that the KKK-loving Dems were conservative Dems. These conservative remained Dems until Richard Nixon enticed them over to the Republican party in the late '60s.

Now these folks are conservative Repubs as you point out Greger.

It's not really a Democrat or Republican thing that breeds racism or bigotry, but...it is absolutely 100% a conservative thing that breeds racism and bigotry.

This why it's the conservatives who whine about the Confederate history being erased - it's not the Libs who are doing the whining about the loss of Confederate statues. smile
