No matter that the Democrats’ early history on these issues is barely relevant today. The two parties slowly traded places on racial politics throughout the 20th century, a well-documented historical phenomenon D’Souza considers totally bogus. D’Souza tortures the data to claim simply that this switch never happened.
Presents no data.
To be fair, the discussion about the Democrats is completely beside the point and is a textbook example of whataboutism. Also, I think that it's pretty much common knowledge that the dems stand a little bit to the left than the republicans on social issues such as equality. Now, I may disagree with how they think racism is solved (more black trans woman CEOs instead of addressing the actual roots of institutionalised prejudice), but they're much better than the dog - whistling republicans. Literally a 5 seconds google takes to a very well sourced Wikipedia article that explained this very easily to me, an Italian with really not much knowledge of US politics or history.

Holy shit
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
