The racial divide...

Admit it... we are a racist society. No, personally you might not be a racist, but I bet you know someone who is. The Demoncrats have returned racism to the political theater. I see the racism as one more reason this society has yet to evolve to the point that we have reached the dream of Martin Luther King. We got a long way to go and the forces of evil are working hard to turn the clock back. Let's hope we can someday reach that dream. BTW, the misspelling of democrat was by accident but I like it. The party establishment has earned the label.

Probably true, because of our society, we have never gotten too far from race. The wounds of the Civil War still bleed in the South. I spent some time, pre-civil rights, in Mississippi and it opened my Yankee eyes. By the time the civil rights movement started to gain speed, I was on board. This did not make me popular in high school, as a strong Southern Heritage was present in Orange County California. It was the land of Nixon, John Birch, and Goldwater Republicans. A lot of the citrus growers were Southerners who treated 'their' braceros much as if they were black.
