    DuffBeer,

    I play a similar version of game with my democrat friends

    1) Which president ended slavery ?
    2) Which president enacted legislation which made the KKK a terrorist organization ?
    3) Which president ended segregation ?
    4) Which president was the first to appoint blacks to key positions in his cabinet ?

    In every case, the answer is a republican president.
    1) Abraham Lincoln in 1865
    2) Ulysses S. Grant in 1871
    3) Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954
    4) George W. Bush appointed both Colin Powell & Condoleeza Rice to cabinet positions in 2001 and 2005

    Many democrats failed to remember their own history. The Democrat party was full of segregationists up until the late 1960 when Kennedy realized that this was a valuable voting constituency and paved the way for the 1964 civil rights legislation.
