Rudy Giuliani: Electing Obama has 'taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations'

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani blamed Barack Obama — the nation's first Black president — for a deterioration of race relations in the United States.

On his Sunday radio program, Giuliani called Democrats "the party of slavery."

"These miserable anti-American leaders of the party of slavery have taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations with Obama," he said. "It began with Obama."

"Before that, I mean, they — every — Republicans are racist. I mean, they love John McCain until he became the candidate of the Republicans, then he was crazy, insane; something happened to him during the war; he's a racist. Bush was called a racist all the time."
