New Democrats same as the old Democrats

When confronted with the fact that the founder of the Democrat party was a slave owner, that the Democrat party fought the civil war to maintain slavery, that the Democrat party founded the KKK, that the Democrat party passed the Jim Crow laws, and that it was the Democrat party fought school integration modern Democrats amazingly declare that that has nothing to do with them; that the Republicans are really that party.

Of course there is no evidence that the two parties switched positions but then truth has never been an obstacle to Democrats.

But it's easy to see who the modern Democrats really are.  When asked they'll extoll the virtues of FDR.

But FDR is the man who put Japanese Americans into prison camps during WWII because they were Japanese.

Similarly modern Democrats extolled Democrat Senator Byrd a former KKK recruiter.  Now unlike FDR Byrd supposedly apologized for his racism but can you imagine how the modern Democrats would react if a Republican had been a KKK recruiter but apologized?

No wait you don't have to.  Republican Senator Thurmond was a racist who'd apologized. At his retirement dinner Senator Lott made a joke about how it might have been better if Thurmond had won his bid for the presidency in the 1940s.  The modern Democrats were enraged and Lott had to resign as Senate Majority leader.

Byrd and FDR tell us that the new Democrats are the same as the old Democrats; they don't give a hoot about racism except as a weapon they can use against anyone who they don't agree with.

If you doubt that check out how modern Democrats talk to and about Justice Thomas, Ben Carson, and Candice Owens.  No Republican could ever talk about any Black the way the white Democrats talk about people of color who don't toe the white Democrat party line.
