A brief history of Democrats, Republicans, and racism

J Craig, Cincinnati Social Issues Examiner
... "First off, let's begin by saying the two parties never switched sides years ago as many people claim. This did not happen. It just didn't. The Democrats have done a great job though of controlling the information that many Americans have accessed. They have led many people and most Blacks to believe that the Republicans are evil racists only to deflect their own racist history. Their history is full of the very same things that most minorities believe the Republicans are responsible for. This is frustrating to say the least because too many people are misinformed." ...
 

 
... "Regarding the Republican Party, they have always been for civil rights. They helped champion Constitutional amendments ending slavery, giving Black Americans the right to vote, as well as securing that right. The Republican Party supported and helped push through most of the civil rights laws from the 1860’s to the 1960’s with much opposition from Democrats. The original Republican Party platform was to abolish slavery, while the Democratic platform included language to protect their so-called right to force people into slavery."
