    Liberals did not own slaves.

    Liberals did not vote for segregation.

    Liberals forced conservatives to go along with passing the CRA and VA.

    DNC base is shrinking too. Is it because of the DNC's overreliance on identity politics? More are identifying as independents.

    Yes, the GOP base is shrinking.

    No, the DNC owned no slaves, because there was no DNC in slavery days.

    By the 1920s, Dems and Pubs supported the KKK and Jim Crow.

    More Dems with higher numbers and percentages in the north, west, and south voted for the CRA and the VA than the pubs. (The vid was false propaganda)

    The DNC has been around since 1828.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)

    Slavery existed then.

    the GOP never supported the KKK or Jim Crow...it was the GOP that was trying to pass anti-lynching laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyer_Anti-Lynching_Bill

    "From 1882 to 1968, "...nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 asked Congress to pass a federal law."[14] Not one bill was approved by the Senate because of the powerful opposition of the Democratic voting bloc."

    It was the GOP that passed the 13th Amendment, it was the GOP that passed or introduced Civil Rights legilsation for decades since the passage of said Amendment, and the DNC that opposed it

    I would called that a micro aggression as it denies agency to victims of racism and ignores an actual genetic basis which gives us our physical individual characteristics to include skin color.

    Negroid, caucasoid, mongoloid are actual traits of morphological human genetics.

    The DNC owned no slaves because it was not organized until after slavery.

    The GOP and Dems were members of KKK Chapters in the South and Indiana and Washington and other states in the 1920s.

    The Congressional Dems with more votes and higher percentage of votes than the GOP in the North, South, and West passed the CRA and VA in 1964 and 1965.

    Those terrible symbols now belong to the GOP.

    "Race" does not give us our physical individual characteristics. There is no such thing as "race" in human genetics or biology. Our skin color has nothing to do with "race".

    That is the racist definition of "race". It does not exist in modern biology. Such things do not exist in genetics!!!!

    It's a misconception that comes from the 18th century and has been revived by racists.

    Again "racists" do exist. But not "race". A racist is somebody who believes that there is such thing as "race" in biology

    As with many negative questions the answer is simple.

    That is not the DNC. You are not going to win this, because your argument is based on a falsehood.

    Hah!!!

    I'm happy to see that you tried to to do a little bit of research. But, of course, you fell waaaay short. No! Anthropologists don't believe there is such a thing as races either.

    This is from the statement by the American Anthropological Association

    "In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. "

    ....

    "Today scholars in many fields argue that "race" as it is understood in the United States of America was a social mechanism invented during the 18th century to refer to those populations brought together in colonial America: the English and other European settlers, the conquered Indian peoples, and those peoples of Africa brought in to provide slave labor"

    ...

    "Thus "race" was a mode of classification linked specifically to peoples in the colonial situation. It subsumed a growing ideology of inequality devised to rationalize European attitudes and treatment of the conquered and enslaved peoples. Proponents of slavery in particular during the 19th century used "race" to justify the retention of slavery. "

    ...
    https://www.americananthro.org/ConnectWithAAA/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=2583


    And here is what Anthropologists think about "races" (Table 2)
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5299519/

    Now...I know this is embarrassing for you. But I hope now you have learned two lessons. One is to not make the mistake again of using the absurd term "race". This is a term reserved for the use of racists only. And two....that you will, from now on, heed the advice on my sig. It is there for a reason, you know...

    Andrew Jackson didn’t start the dnc? Wow. I provided a source, the Wikipedia entry for the DNC that highlights just that

    As with Trump, facts don't matter with many Republicans. Thanks for backing up what you assert. 8)

    I commend you for researching, even if you did not get it right.

    Jackson and Martin Van Buren started the Democratic Party. The DNC was founded in 1848. I can't find anything that supports that it owned slaves.

    https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

    The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the formal governing body for the United States ... The DNC was established at the 1848 Democratic National Convention. The DNC's main counterpart is the Republican National Committee.

    All of that nonsense, including the KKK and hope for segregation and anti-CRA and anti-VA, is all GOP and has been for almost fifty years.

    Don't be throwing rocks in your glass house.

    My God!

    Now I really know it's embarrassing for you. You challenge the official position of the American Anthropological Association with an article about an obsolete classification?

    Do you even read the article you quote?

    Here is from the article you quote:

    ."The identification was obsolete by the 1960s,..."
    ....
    "The term today is usually considered racist, ..."
