I have to wonder, if we could end racism completely, and if everyone [i]knew[/i] that there was no more racism, what would happen to the Democratic party? I suppose they would turn their focus to keeping abortion legal, trying to help the poor, environmental conservation, and probably attacking organized religion (Christianity in particular). But wouldn't it take a lot of the wind out of their sails if racism was no longer an issue?

Racism is a global issue, it always will be regardless of the color of the racist. Let's start by not identifying yourself as a member of a political party. It's poisonous.

The Republican would lose out because the white working class would no longer vote against their economic interests.

Well... the Democrats continue to stoke racism... so not sure if it helped them... but...

They would generate a racial crisis to keep their shtick going... Hmm... maybe that's what's happening...

@Djce45: Probably quite a bit longer, yes. I've just noticed that it has gotten a lot worse during that time.

I think the getting worse had less to do with President Obama.. and more with the policy and ideas bankruptcy of the leftist mindset. They have to generate this... all their policies have failed.
