So I Guess Democrats Are Racist, Or Something

So, let's talk about this week. It seems like the Republican party has been spending this entire week making false comparisons with there political enemies. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a new tactic (see Dennis Prager comparing a pedophile preacher to the morally questionable founder of Playboy). It just seems like this is the week all the stars aligned and they decided to find as many reasons to do this as possible. 
Combined with this and the MANY other tactics they use in order to lie, and you get something truly special. Quite possibly the most recent, and yet longest ongoing example, is the idea that the Democratic Party is racist. 
Yeah, this is one that's been going on for a while. It seems that over the past few weeks, Turning Point USA director Candace Owens has been going crazy explaining how Democrats are racist.  
 The next time @RepMaxineWaters @CoryBooker Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton open their mouths to tell us why blacks should align with the Democrats, close your eyes with me and visual: [Shows a picture of Stephen from Django Unchained]
It seems like Candace forgot that liberals are supposed to be the ones always complaining about racism with no proof, as she just accessed 4 people of being racist with no proof. For that matter, I thought liberals who always insulted minorities who didn't agree with them, odd that's exactly what Candace is doing.  
This isn't the only she's done this by the way. Recently, she even went on Prager "U" in order to explain why "playing the black card" angers her so much. This is odd though considering she used to literally go under the name Red Pill Black and aimed to create a channel that would "promote conservativism to a black audience".
Mind you, she doesn't really make any case as to why the Democratic Party is racist in this video, but that may be because Prager has so many other videos on that topic. 
For instance, Carol Swain has made two videos on this topic. One for both the Democratic and Republican party. Of course, very little of it makes any sense:
The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
Interesting, now let's look at what Dennis (since he does hire all these people) has to say about how the left views slavery:
The Left’s view is that America was founded by rich white males who were intent on protecting their race, their wealth, and in many cases, their slaves.
So Dennis's view is that the Democratic Party was founded by rich white males who were intent on protecting their race, their wealth, and in many cases, their slaves. But hypocrisy is a virtue so I guess it doesn't matter. 
Here's some of her commentary on the civil rights act:
Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress supported the [Civil Rights Act of 1964]. Less than 70 percent of Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days, until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam.
Funny how she ignores one of the most important critics of the bill from within the Republican party. Barry Goldwater, who was the Republican nominee in the '64 presidential election, was against the act.
Here's a statement Carol makes that is just weird:
[E]very black representative in the House until 1935 was a Republican. And every black senator until 1979 was, too.
Funny she mentioned the Senate because out of the 3 African American Senators, 1 is black. As for the House, there are 2 incumbent representatives that are both African American and Republican, compared to 41 that are Democrats. If pure numbers mean anything, then it's odd you even brought this up in the first place. 
But okay, let's see the proof Carol has that the Democrats are racist now after all the founders were racist and it would be a virtue to say they're not bad but the Democrats are:
Massive government welfare has decimated the black family. Opposition to school choice has kept them trapped in failing schools.  Politically correct policing has left black neighborhoods defenseless against violent crime.
May I ask how it's not the "bigotry of soft expectations" to say that black people are just going to go on welfare? Also, I thought the left just called everyone they don't like racist, now if you're against school vouchers you're racist. And may I ask how political correctness of all things has caused any impact on violent crimes. 
So to review, Democrats are bad because they were racist a long time ago and America is good even though it was racist a long time ago. I think these people think this makes sense, and like always, they are wrong.
