They can preach all they want about being the party of tolerance, but they still consider among their membership a KKK recruiter, they filibustered the Civil Rights Act and from time to time, they let their guard down and let the world see their racism in all of its glory:

Before the endorsement vote, Perry County Commissioner Albert Turner praised Obama’s qualifications, but urged the group to support Clinton.

“The question you have to put forth to yourself is that whether or not in this racist country a black man named Obama — when we are shooting at Osama — can win the presidency of the United States?” Turner said.

Turner said Clinton is the Democrat most likely to win in November “because of her husband and because of some other things, mainly because she’s white.”

When the Alabama Democratic Conference endorsed Clinton in October, leaders cited long-standing friendships with Clinton and her husband and voiced concerns about whether white voters would support a black Democrat.

Imagine the outrage if this were Republicans having such a conversation.

Which is more revealing? That Democrat officials are urging voters to cast ballots for a white candidate because she’s white, or their acknowledgement that Democrat voters probably wouldn’t vote for a black candidate because he’s black?
