amen they have no intention of changing it, most ignorant's wanting change don't understand the history
and all involved in the naming decision. liberals are a nasty race, they feel they have to change everything
that threatens their foul ways with laws and rules by government agencys, I mean who freakin cares, get a life!

This thread is satire. Republicans have far more racists in their party because they deliberately appeal to racists.

At least Johnson helped minorities. Republicans actively held them down.
"Although the phrase "Southern strategy" is often attributed to Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, he did not originate it,[11] but merely popularized it.[12] In an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, he touched on its essence:
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.[2]"

Surely you can see the difference between a political party that had people who allegedly said racist things and a party (republicans) that ran based on racism.

Republicans have even admitted to being the party of racism:
"21st century
Few African Americans voted for George W. Bush and other Republicans in the 2004 elections, although it was a higher percentage than any GOP candidate since President Ronald Reagan.[citation needed] Following Bush's re-election, Ken Mehlman, Bush's campaign manager and Chairman of the RNC, held several large meetings with African-American business, community, and religious leaders. In his speeches, he apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the past. When asked about the strategy of using race as an issue to build GOP dominance in the once-Democratic South, Mehlman replied, "Republican candidates often have prospered by ignoring black voters and even by exploiting racial tensions," and, "by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African-American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out. Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."[45][46]"

allegedly....lol
I see that both parties focused very much on "what to do with the negro", Kennedy even made it part of his debates for POTUS. I'm in favor of treating everyone the same regardless of skin tone. It's a shame there is still a large faction in both parties that won't let it go.

What does not? Any, who say there is a difference at all, but the smirching direction, spewing back and forth, twisting power, is just not paying attention.
