I've often wondered why the Republican Party became so hateful of everyone that isn't white. It's actually pretty interesting to read a piece from that time period when when the Democrat party was known as the White man's party and the Republican Party was for the Black man. It's quite funny to see how much both parties have changed.

Scroll down to : THE RACE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES. For the full article. It was a interesting read, and a eyeball into the period 30 years or so after the civil war had ended.

I wonder what some of those far right pundits would think if they ever read a bit of history and learned the Republican Party used to be the black man's party..

It's also kinda funny that the Democrats used to be what the Republican Party is today..
