Change comes slowly and sometimes not at all but the "legend of the South' is finally beginning to meet it's maker. Nowhere in history has a cause of war been so obliterated as in our own civil war. Never has the cause being fought for been so cleverly removed from the forces fighting for it. The Confederacy almost exhonerated itself for the practice of slavery.

Time has come for change.

The Democratic party is the party of racism. Those who stay with the Dem party are racists.

Two whole sentences. Maybe someday you willl learn how to make one longer complex sentence, although both sentences say the same thing and are repetitive. In the meantime BRAVO!

I am so happy that you are incapable of coming up with a rational argument. It means I can ignore your racist pronouncements.

That too could have been made into one sentence shorter and more to the point. I do apreciate your showing off your improving skills. Now shall we go on to discussing the value of the shorter, l more declarative sentences that have more impact? You seem a quite willing pupil.

I resent this. Our attitude towards blacks is non prejudicial, we believe everyone has the right to own one.

Did I just say that? The south in me slipped out, LOL.

BTW, I still have friends in the south who use the N word. They are not racist, but when you are bought up with that term it is hard to avoid using it. It's like calling a tissue a Kleenex. It does tend to shock people, however. My mother whopped me more than once for using it.

What a stupid article.

While it is certainly true that many Southern racists abandoned the Democratic Party over its new support for racial equality and integration, the notion that they would flock to the Republican Party -- which was a century ahead of the Democrats on those issues -- makes no sense whatsoever.


Substitute the word "all" for "many" and then recognize that the southern racist republican replaced the southern racist democrat and it would begin to have a flavor for modern truth. Fortunaltly for you this was conveniently left out as is a rational history of the movement post civil rights

It's too bad you can't also teach him to discriminate between well researched political or scientific fact and total bullship.
