In other words your full of shit. The Democrats are still democrats and the Republican party is not full of racists. But hey lying seems to be your ace card in the hole. You are always making shit like this up.

Provide some actual evidence to back up your claim. By the way RETARD the Republican party almost universally supported the Civil Rights act. Why would racists want to join a party that did not agree with them?

Civil Rights Act or 1964

* Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
* Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
* Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)

Because the local Democrats became Republicans after 1964 throughout the South. In the small town South, very rarely do Dems run anything except their little legs away from racist Republicans.

the democrats still push racist slave policies to this very day through abortion, health care scam, minimum wage laws, gun control, global warming scam etc all are policies meant to enslave and control populations. the demos will never give up their lust for the chain around the neck of another human being, they truely need the boot on their necks in a crushing blow once and for all.

What a very strange question.
Of course they were racist, and of course they denied rights.

At least we know when an African American in the last 80 years decided to run for congress, it was the republican party banner they decided to run under...

Oh! Wait a minute...

Another stinking pile of shit from Jake, King of the Unsubstantiated Statement.
Jake, you ever been south of, oh Detroit? You have no fucking idea how wrong you are. Just astounding.

Anyway, back to the OP:
Jim Crow laws dictated who could go what based solely on that person's race. If that doesn't fit the definition of racist then I don't know what does.

Would Uncle Remus have sung "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" rather than rap "Cap-that-cracker-until-he-do- die" if he had any other choice?
