The Democratic Party — a stain on the republic for 200 years — has a long history of keeping black people down.
In 1858, for instance, Democrat voters cheered when Democratic Sen. Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, during the first of his celebrated debates with upstart Republican challenger Abraham Lincoln,declaredhimself in no uncertain terms as “opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form.”
One hundred and sixty-eight years later, amid another Senate campaign, powerful white men in the Democratic Party remain committed to smothering blacks’ hopes of advancement, prompting one Republican to call for an investigation by the Federal Election Commission.
To summarize the latest controversy involving racist Democrats, on Tuesday, hostStephen Colbertof CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” recorded an interview with Democratic state Rep. James Talarico of Texas.
Talarico, a white man, currently finds himself in a Texas U.S. Senate primary battle against Democratic U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, a black woman.

The controversy began when the late-night host posted the interview to YouTube rather than airing it on his show.
According toThe Guardian, a leftist British news outlet, Colbert made that decision because, in his telling, President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission under chairman Brendan Carr had pressured the network not to air the interview.
CBS, however, had a very different take on Colbert’s decision.
“The Late Showwas not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico,” CBS said in a statement, perTime. “The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.The Late Showdecided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal time options.”
