Despite the truth being out there for years, it’s probably not going to explode until some big shot news anchor gives us an “exclusive expose” bringing us all those facts <em>first, </em>so he/she can proudly receive a Pulitzer…</p>
<p>While I have only scratched the surface of civil rights history, remember, Democrats claim THEY <em>“are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws”</em>…</p>

For one, I am opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form. I believe this Government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity for ever, and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, men of European birth and descent, instead of conferring it upon negroes, Indians, and other inferior races.”</em>. Douglas became the Democrat Party’s 1860 presidential nominee.</span></p>
