The party of the KKK.
The party of slavery.
The party of Jim Crowe and Bull Connor.
The party of black exterminationist Margaret Sanger (who Hillary praises!!)
But....Dems say....oh no....it was just Southern Democrats who committed the atrocities against blacks.
Oh...no....it was just Democrats and still is.
Under DEMOCRAT governor John Whitaker.....Oregon banned black people. Yes. Banned them from being in Oregon. Period. Just banned them.
That's your Democrat Party guys. Oh.....I've got more coming.........

That's whose Democratic Party?
The one that lives in his head.
His link says, in part:
>> Today, while 13 percent of Americans are black, just 2 percent of Oregon’s population is black. This is not some accident of history. It’s a product of oppressive laws and everyday actions that deliberately excluded non-white people from a fair shot at living a life without additional obstacles being put in their way. <<
--- which is a bullshit causation fallacy. The same is true in this region of Appalachia, and it's not because of any "oppressive laws and everyday actions that excluded" jack shit -- it's because of the same reason it's true wherever it's true.... this area, like Oregon, never had a history of either slavery or a postwar industrial expansion boom, the two factors that most influence contemporary African demographics.
The whitest state in the country, demographically, is Vermont ---- which is also the only state extant before the 13th Amendment that has never allowed slavery, ever.
So there goes that line of reasoning, kerplunk.
The same author, earlier in the piece, writes:
>> America’s history of racial discrimination is most commonly taught as a southern issue. That’s certainly how I learned about it while going to Minnesota public schools in the 1980s and 90s. White people outside of the South seem to learn about the Civil War and civil rights movements from an incredibly safe (and often judgmental) distance. <<
Which kind of belies the ignorance of his Minnesota education, since he doesn't seem to know about this infamous lynching from 1920:
--- a lynching that took place in Duluth, near the Manitoba border and about as far as you can get from the South. A lynching that was witnessed by a boy named Abraham Zimmerman who would years later relate the story to his son, who would write a well-known song about it. The son called himself Bob Dylan and the song was Desolation Row.
