The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, yes

You should have stopped there. It’s not my fault the history of you4 adopted political party is as sordid as the day is long. You forgot to mention - and it’s a near certainty that none of the left wing history buffs on his board know this - but your point about right wing is nonsense.

Know which historical figure obliterates your thesis? None other than the very first hard left wing democrat President, Woodrow Wilson. Not only did the man re-segregate the federal government (after very much right wing President Theodore Roosevelt integrated it) but he also hosted the Klan in the White House to screen the racist film Birth of a Nation.

So, no. Your analysis is the kind of feel-good stuff that the left tells itself but sadly is a 180 off of real history. Southern whites, according to Wilson must show “ united resistance to the domination of an ignorant race”.

Yep.
All the Jim Crow democrats have moved beyond the mortal coil. Today’s democrats are the home of modern racism, always cloaked in the soft bigotry of low expectations along with The Great White Father syndrome.
