You can spot a young and inexperienced buck like epb, tko, or cylcops pretty easily without having to profile much.
Can you explain this in greater detail? For I think you are insinuating something you shouldn't be here.

cyclo,
You're not denying that historically the KKK was a tool of the Southern Democrats , are you?
No, I am not denying that. But that wasn't really the thrust of Cj's post; and additionally, I would say that the positions championed by Republicans and Democrats have changed somewhat in the last 40 years.

Only if you believe the Democratic spin.
A greater percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than Democrats who were led by Al Gore , Sr.
His son, Al Gore Jr was famously characterized as having 'low negro tolerance' by a black congresswoman .
The Democrats are still the only party that refers to a former(?) KKKer as 'the Dean of the Senate' (Hint: he is the only Senator in recent memory to use the N word on national television when he admitted 'there are white niggers'.)
The Democrats have a superdelegate for Obama who is also a state legislator who said recently 'nigger is a term of endearment'.
It is Democrats who want to keep black kids trapped in poorly performing (but staffed by 100% card carrying union members) urban schools instead of allowing vouchers.
And I could go on.
