The GOP will continue to stoke racial hatred in the US. It has worked well since the passage of the Civil Rights law. They have OFx and RW hate media to continue to advance their cause. Until we can break that meme an show how absurd and wrong that is Democrats will have a hard time to win elections.
For all intense and purpose the Democrats should be able to win most elections. We have to combat race baiting every time is arises.
