Time to admit it. The DLC was effectively a white supremacist organization.

The main point of founding the "Democratic Leadership Council" (DLC) was to get the Democratic Party to distance itself from POC(or "throw them under the bus" as we would now say).

(Yes, the DLC did that to labor and progressive activists to, but it was mainly about those tacky POC).

That's why the DLC endorsed the white supremacist argument that blackness was synonymous with criminality, out-of-wedlock childbearing, and welfare fraud.

The DLC pushed this party to abandon the whole civil rights heritage and embrace the idea that wealthy white people and white suburbanites were superior to everyone else, entitled to pass moral judgment on everyone else, and entitled to leave everyone else to rot.

We never needed to embrace a toxic agenda like that to get the White House back in name...we just needed to make a strong case for change and nominate a candidate who would articulate that case with strength and without apology.

And that's all we need now.

Another "hard truth".

Apparently not all the Southern Democrats morphed into Republicans under Nixon or something.   

Enjoy the stupid contained in this little exchange.

9. The RNC had a black guy as its chair a few years ago.

The presence of a token proves nothing.

19. Harold Ford Jr. was a token.

He never defended the black community against crime-bashing and false accusations of welfare fraud.

And now he is totally forgotten.

31. He went further in a racist state than any other politician of color.

He was only taken down with a cheesy "Playboy Bunny" ad.

Now that was some racist bullshit, there--and it was the GOP running that ad.

Anybody remember what the Mad dem is referring to?

It was a silly political ad during the TN election that replaced Bill Frist in the Senate.  In the scope of the election, it was a pointless throwaway.  What cost Harold Ford Jr. the election was his corrupt family and his liberal politics.

Using racist language to accuse others of racism...the DUmp way.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Harold Ford Jr. ran the DLC.  Michael Steele ran the RNC.  Both African American, and both on the moderate side of their respective parties.

Ah, so now Democrats that are on the more conservative side of the party are white supremacist. In this case, the primitive is referencing the supporters of the far-left loon billary. It seems the completely crazy super-duper extra far left kooks that support the bern are the non-racists.

Man, they go to a lot of trouble to try and explain away their own insanity.

Nothing can explain their insanity.  It just is.

Everyone suffers, even the allies of the DUmmies, so that their 'victim muscle' stays well exercised.

Those who embrace perpetual victimhood, are in my opinion, as low as child molesters.

I have to give Ken Burch half a kudo. He's so way far off-base that he's actually correct.
