*AA GROUP* On the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill (The more things change...)

Stumbled across the Wikipedia article on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill earlier today. While reading it, I saw this:

Southern Senators opposed anti-lynching laws and other civil rights legislation on the grounds that blacks were responsible for more crime, more babies born out of wedlock, more welfare and other forms of social assistance, and that strong measures were needed to keep them under control.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyer_Anti-Lynching_Bill#cite_note-10

Take out the parts about anti-lynching laws and replace "Southern Senators" with "the Republican Party and other racist...pardon me, conservative American whites", and that is 100% accurate in the "post-racial" 21st century United States.
