    Key point is "up to the 1960's[sic]". That's when the GOP became the "bitterly racist" party.

    Just as with hollywood actors, Democrats always try and ACT like they are the OPPOSITE of what they REALLY are.

    Democrats are in FACT the party of racism, discrimination, and lies.

    Biden's administration had now broken federal law dozens of times by hiring only those with the right skin color, sex, or religion all felonies under federal law

    In 1948, Democrat Harry Truman signed an executive order desegregating the military and the federal government.  John Kennedy enforced civil rights laws, and Lyndon Johnson passed the civil rights bill.

    Republican reaction to this was started by Barry Goldwater and became known as the "Southern Strategy" which played to the racism of southerners who supported George Wallace in the 1968 election.

    The results of all this is that the Democratic Party is following the policy of trying to include all races into the Party, whereas the Republicans are still playing to the exclusion of people of color.
