The Democrats were once the party of slavery, of segregation of George Wallace. They are not that party anymore.
The Republicans were once the party of emancipation, of Lincoln of Eisenhower. They are not that party anymore.
Now, their nominee, Donald Trump, cannot be distinguished from George Wallace. Who said it, Wallace or Trump?
1. “I love black people, I love white people, I love yellow people.”
Wallace
2. “It’s a sad day in this country when you can’t talk about law and order unless they want to call you a racist.”
Wallace
3. “I’m owned by the people! I mean, I’m telling you, I’m no angel, but I’m gonna do right by them!”
Trump
4. “Somebody’s going to get killed before this primary is over, and I hope it’s not me.”
Wallace
5. “That’s a typical case of the press with misinterpretation ... they take a half a sentence. Then they take quarter of a sentence. They put it all together.”
Trump
6. “If you look at black and African-American youth, I mean to a point where they’ve just about never done more poorly; there’s no spirit.”
Trump
7. “If any demonstrator ever lies down in front of my car, it’ll be the last car he’ll ever lie down in front of.”
Wallace
8. “It seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us. After all, we’re feeding most of them and whenever they start rejecting 25 cents of each dollar of foreign aid money that we send to them, then I’ll be concerned about their attitude toward us.”
Wallace
9. “I’m not a racist. I don’t have a racist bone in my body.”
Trump
10. “Protesters, they realize there are no consequences to protesting anymore. There used to be consequences. There are none anymore.”
Trump
11. “A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that.”
Trump
12. “We must not be misled by left-wing incompetent news media that, day after day, feed us a diet of fantasy telling us we are bigots, racists and hate-mongers.”
Wallace
