Steve,

I think you are over-simplifying here. Yes, many outright racists may have switched from the Democrats to the Republicans as a result of the Civil Rights Movement.

However, the core Democrat/Progressive ethos, right now, and as it has developed over the past few decades, is quintessentially a racist ideology.

White liberal Democrats believe Blacks are inferior and therefore need DEI and Affirmative Action to succeed--preferences based on race. That's a clearly racist ideology.

It's Democrats who are the racists, and openly so. And that's just the white liberals. Most Blacks, especially the ones in politics, are savagely, openly racist.

They believe you for example-despite being a Progressive liberal--are systemically racist--not because of the inherently racist ideology of your political party, but simply because you are WHITE.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it along with all the hash, weed,ganja etc.
