Many Democrat presidents from [[Woodrow Wilson]] to [[Barack Obama]] either were racist or had racist sympathies.  

Woodrow Wilson believed that blacks were inferior, and segregated Washington, D.C. and all federal buildings and installations throughout the country with separate bathrooms and cafeterias - even in states without [[Jim Crow Laws]]. Wilson, only the second Democrat elected since the [[Civil War]], segregated the Army, wiping out 50 years of social progress Blacks had made under Republican administrations. Northern states with military bases were transformed to resemble Southern plantations, with Blacks allowed to work in the kitchen, but couldn't dine with Whites and had to use their own separate restrooms.

While Johnson also appointed [[NAACP]] lawyer [[Thurgood Marshall]] the first African American Supreme Court Justice,  a young White House attorney recommended Federal Judge William Henry Hastie—who had been Marshall's professor at Harvard Law School—as a more qualified African American candidate, but LBJ rejected the light-skinned Hastie, explaining, "Son, when I appoint a ni--er to the court, I want everyone to know he's a ni--er." <ref>http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/lyndon-johnson-civil-rights-racism</ref> According to The Real Jimmy Carter by Steven Hayward, Jimmy Carter did nothing to help the desegregation cause in the South, but sometimes did the opposite, and like Bill Clinton, endorsed racist candidates for political offices. Bill Clinton’s wife Hillary made anti-Semitic comments before while the father of Bill’s vice president Al Gore was a segregationist senator. Barack Obama’s church was Trinity United Church of Christ, a Black Liberation Theology Church, and his vice-president Joe Biden made racist comments about South Asians.
