How about for the last 50 years who has used race as an issue ?
Ever since the Democrats in 1965 used Johnson's welfare bill to buy the black vote they have been beating the same dead horse. Hoping every one will forget their previous record of slavery, civil war, KKK terrorism, Jim Crow, and segregation while also overlooking their results of broken families, broken education,increased unemployment , loss of self respect, ambition, and hope and general increase in govt dependence.
