this one is more subtle:
"Republicans have a serious communication problem. Everything we say sounds like spears."
this one, if taking only 30seconds more to ponder, could have 'naturally' worked in crispus attucks
"I think the appropriate punishment is death. They killed Benedict Arnold.
i could really help this guy craft a more relevant message fitting for re-air on comedy central

The point is the government worked then and you need a history lesson:

Realignment: The South becomes Republican

In the century after Reconstruction, the white South identified with the Democratic Party. The Democratic parties dominance in the southern states was so strong, the region was called the Solid South. The Republicans controlled certain parts of the Appalachian Mountains,[41] and they sometimes did compete for statewide office in the border states.[42]

Before 1948, the Southern Democrats saw their party as the defender of the Southern way of life, which included a respect for states' rights and an appreciation for traditional southern values. They repeatedly warned against the aggressive designs of Northern liberals and Republicans, as well as the civil rights activists they denounced as "outside agitators". Thus there was a serious barrier to becoming a Republican.[42]

In 1948, Democrats alienated white Southerners in two ways. The Democratic National Convention adopted a strong civil rights plank, leading to a walkout by Southerners. Two weeks later President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981 integrating the armed forces. In 1948 the Deep South walked out, formed a new regional party and nominated J. Strom Thurmond. He carried the Deep South but the outer South stayed with Truman and the "Dixiecrats" returned to the party.
On facebook a friend of my aunt from the South concurred:

When I was growing up it was the Republicans that were for civil rights, the Democrats did not want any part of ending segregation. Then the entire fruit basket turned over. The southern Democrats slowly migrated to the Republican Party and became very conservative where the Kennedy Democrats were the ones that championed civil rights.

That is the most common common Right Wing red herring..."The Democrats supported segregation!" It is a sign of their desperation...
It's just more of their ignorance. If they just paid attention in history class they'd realize it's a moot point.

^^ Yup, Squeeb is correct. I briefly worked on a painting crew where the foreman told us stories about how he once fvcked a pig.
Growing up in a relatively rural section of western NY, there were plenty of stories of farmhands banging the livestock. A few arrests were made too. Cray cray...

careful of the justice you ask for; might end up being "just us"

who do you want hearing your case? most qualified black judge, or most qualified (who may happen to be a black judge)?

In the same vein that 'skinny' or 'thug' are codewords, so is 'racism'. It actually means 'white racism'.

(is there any other kind?)

This attempt to teach kids to make healthier life choices can only mean one thing: an increasing encroachment upon our liberties by the Obama administration in their never-ending quest to Communism Socialism Muslim Benghazi.
