Which party has race issues?

For decades it has been an accepted truth that the Republican party is the party of racists. Intelligent people rejected such nonsense but the myth lived. Here is an article which refutes that lame point of view.

Common sense questions would be: If Southern bigots fled the Democrat Party to the Republican Party during 1964 and following, why was it the Republicans who fought for civil rights? Why was a Republican president (Richard Nixon) responsible for affirmative action? Why do Republicans have the stellar record of meritocratic inclusion in the highest echelons of their administrations? Why did Democrats led by Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., bitterly oppose the nomination of Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas and Janice Rogers Brown? Why did the Democrats sit silent as Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Janice Rogers Brown suffered vicious ad hominem attacks based on their race? Why was it the Democrats who opposed every civil-rights bill introduced in Congress (by Republicans) from 1856 well into the 1970s? Why do Democrats today support measures that retard self-sufficiency pursuant to blacks and the so-called poor, while Republicans champion the exact opposite.

Claiming Democrats are helpful to minorities is like saying Ted Kennedy is good for women. Sure he only killed one directly. Who knows how many deaths he contributed to with his support of infanticide. And remember, every time someone claims abortion is a women's issue, half of the babies murdered are girls.
