It was the democrats that kept lynching legal. Hoover a Republican, besides train wrecking the economy supported the KKK's efforts. I have my doubts that being a racist has anything to do with politics.

  Correction, Those were the Dixiecrats! They all became Republicans when the Democrats in other parts of the country supported the Civil Rights movement. Why do you think the Republicans have dominated the South ever since politically? My grandfather was a Democratic state rep during those years. I remember him taking me fishing and expressing his disgust that they were turning their backs on part of their constituency based solely on the color of their skin. He remained a firm Democrat. This was the beginning of my liberal beliefs.

  In an electoral race where one candidate is of African descent, race has a helluvalot to do with politics.
