Because it's not 1860.Since we all know the Dimocrat party was the home for pro-slavery Americans, why doesn't the word itself trigger AA's ?
The word "lynch" or "lynching" triggers AA's, in Portland Oregon for instance, three schools had to be renamed that were named after the "Lynch" family who donated the land to the city to build schools decades ago.
We've all seen in the last day how upsetting Trump's use of the word has been, so my question is, why haven't AA's demanded the Dimocrat party rename itself ?
And as I've repeatedly mentioned, lynchings are not routinely part of today's America either, yet the term is a trigger NOW.
The Dimocrat party had slavery in their platform, yet AA's don't have a problem with the name today.
Lynching is still lynching. The Democratic party of today fights for civil rights such as not finding ways of blocking citizens from voting.
