When are you people on the left going to stop repeating this tired myth? Completely false and anyone who does just a bit of reading and some simple research will learn the truth. Democrats have been the party of slavery, white supremacy, fascism and has done so all the way up to the 70's. Many democrats accepted civil rights in the 40's and by the 70's, had pretty much embraced civil rights. Republicans have never abandoned the principle that all men are created equal.
