Much to the chagrin of Democrats, SC Governor Haley has picked Tim Scott to replace outgoing Jim DeMint.Why to the "chagrin" of the democrats? The Governor was obviously going to pick a repub. She should pick the best person for the job regardless of his/her color. Are you saying there were more qualified people and she picked a black man to piss off dems? Why would dems be chagrined at this choice?
Great choice !
The Republican party sent the first black man to the Senate - Hiram Revels of Mississippi. Of course Democrats opposed Revels at the time - based on his skin color. Revels' credentials arrived in the Senate on February 23, 1870, and were immediately blocked by a few members who had no desire to see a black man serve in Congress. Making their racist views known.

Im not surprised you're beating on the Civil War era dems to characterize today's political racial landscape.

Segregation was not confined strictly to the south. Some other states closer to the south had it too. The Southern Dems may have controlled Kansas and/or Missouri many years ago, including before you were born and put segregation into place. I'm pretty sure the Reconstruction era Republicans did not.

Now we know that Kansas City is on both sides of the line and Missouri (for the moment) is the bigger half but they know about the democratic machine and Pendergast. Just like Tammany Hall was democrat and Daly was democrat. Maybe you can help, can you name a GOP political machine in this country? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
