When all else fails, try to change the subject, eh Larsy?

Most people know that "the country's two parties underwent a realignment a half-century ago that was precipitated by the Democratic Party's decision to support the equal rights of African Americans and use the power of the federal government once and for all to break the power of white supremacy (backed up law and enforced by terrorism) in the South."

"This shift is the primary reason why black Americans still vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats while the (majority white) South supports the Republican Party, which began actively courting white Southerners the moment they began to feel alienated from the Democrats for opposing segregation."

So I really don't care what Democrats did 60 years ago, or 160 years ago. It's what they do today that matters. 

The current effort to remove symbols of white supremacy from public spaces crosses party lines (see Nikkii Haley). Does being the wrong side of history make you upset?
