After a long history of racism, is it time to rename the Democratic Party?

Click here: Princeton University is looking to purge former Progressive and Democratic President Woodrow Wilson from its history because, frankly, he was racist.

If Woodrow Wilson gets the boot for being racist, then every Democratic president from the last century should also be booted. They were all racist. Every last one of them.

FDR enforced segregation through red-lining and liked to tell jokes about “darkies”. Truman wrote, “I think one man is as good as another so long as he’s honest and decent and not a n–ger or a Chinaman.” JFK was disgusted by interracial marriage. LBJ liked to describe the Civil Rights Act as “the n–ger bill”. Jimmy Carter ran for governor promising that “I can win this election without a single black vote” and accused his opponent of liking Martin Luther King. Bill Clinton said of Obama, “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.”
