As Democrats prepare to nominate Sen. Barack Obama to be the first black president, the Democratic National Committee and its chairman, Howard Dean, have whitewashed the party's horrific and lengthy record of racism:

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterAffirmative action is against racism. That's the purpose of affirmative action. That the Republicans reject it is an ominous sign.

Similarly, why is it that the Democratic presidential nominee, for the second time in as many decades, is African-American? Why is it that McCain frequently uses the "race card" against Obama?
Yes, during the Civil War and Reconstruction Democrats had a history of racism. But that changed. LBJ was the "creator" of affirmative action. Democrat? Exactly.

*** The Supreme Court has ruled otherwise.

*** Maybe there aren't that many qualified African-Americans running for president or there aren't any that are interested in holding the office.

*** You are insane. The Clintons and Obama himself are the ones guilty of playing the race card.

*** LBJ's Great Society programs created the urban ghettos, caused the dissolution of black families, increased crime and shiftlessness among blacks and did far more harm to black people than the most virulent racists of the Civil War era -- who, by the way, were Democrats -- could have ever done.
Everything you've said is wrong. You need to go back to your college and ask for a refund.

I did not support LBJ, but he was a Democrat and he upheld affirmative action.
The Clintons used race as a weapon against Obama. And McCain has a weird racist thing that I can't really place. We'll see what happens during the convention in September.
Sorry about the bold and italic text.
