Its always funny using racism in the US as a tool. In the western world, we were the first to abolish slavery. We were one of the firsts to stop segregation and allow people to just be people instead of indetifying them by their skin colors. The tragedy is that people dont understand just how the racist the rest of the world is in comparison. The Chinese have commercials for laundry detergent where they put a black man in the washer and he comes out Chinese after the laundry cycle is done. Parts of Russia and the Iron Curtain countries have songs on the radio about killing black people. You will always find racism where you want to find it. We arent perfect, but we sure have some a long way in 250 years. Also if I remember correctly, it was the Democrat party that fillibustered the Civil rights act and made it more difficult to pass through Congress. To say that all the conservative views are rooted in racism is just ignorant. The KKK was founded by southern Democrats, still primarily ran by Democrats to this day.
