(34,648 posts)I can agree with you that we revise history, but i disagree that the article is incorrect . I think you may not be getting the full meaning of what he is saying. I am reading through a few things and i will post something tomorrow on it. I also agree that they were more populist than they were liberal, but it was in my view the communists that were most supportive of African Americans. The Dems were for majority rule, and that meant the white majority.
Coates is not the fringe when you consider his positions and his views represent the views of many African Americans. We are not the fringe and many liberals will attempt to shut down the conversation concerning things we find to be issues with the party. Our views need to be listened to and put up front with everyone else's concerns and not be treated like the fringe or a special interest group.
