‘To the protests of some Democrats, Republican President Theodore Roosevelt had Booker T. Washington as an honored guest for dinner at the White House, October 16, 1901.’ https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Booker-T–Washington–The-Bible-should-be-read-as-a-daily-guide-to-right-living—positive-Christian-service-.html?soid=1108762609255&aid=eSjx-Sps5VA

The Democrats today like to think they are the party of the Black man but in 1901 a Southern Democrat newspaper stated ‘”The most damnable outrage which has ever been perpetrated by any citizen of the United States was committed yesterday by the President, when he invited a n—– to dine with him at the White House.
It would not be worth more than a passing notice if Theodore Roosevelt had sat down to dinner in his own home with a Pullman car porter, but Roosevelt the individual and Roosevelt the President are not to be viewed in the same light.”‘ https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Booker-T–Washington–The-Bible-should-be-read-as-a-daily-guide-to-right-living—positive-Christian-service-.html?soid=1108762609255&aid=eSjx-Sps5VA
Not much has changed in the Democrat Party.
