Well if we want to paint an entire region based on actions from the past, why not paint the entire Democrat party with that same brush?

Not sure where you got the idea I was broad brushing. I was just pointing out one of the main reasons why the South is perceived as being more racist than other parts of the country. They're really not. Racism is present anywhere you see a large number of different races living close to each other. In the post-Civil War South though, racism was the driving force for almost every decision made. They put it on their front porch for the world to see, and they were proud of it.
