Please, please, please - understand Republican roots.

If you are someone who is even mildly interested in fairness in this world, or in helping to be sure everyone has a chance to live and thrive, understand how negative Republican culture is in our society.

From Boing Boing

Gregory sez, "A conservative group looking to make inroads with African American Voters held a talk on Friday called 'Trump the Race Card'. It devolved into a chaos when Scott Terry of North Carolina suggested Fredrick Douglass should have been grateful for the food and shelter provided by his former slave master."

    When asked by ThinkProgress if he'd accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said "I'd be fine with that." He also claimed that African-Americans "should be allowed to vote in Africa," and that "all the Tea Parties" were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.

    At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party's roots, to which Terry responded, "I didn't know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public."

    He claimed to be a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
