Here on DU (I think) I saw a statement by a southern Congressman that said something like the following: "It was White Christian men who built this country". I lost the link, and can't recall enough to Google it out.

1. I heard that on CSpan

Took me a half hour to pick my jaw up off the floor. It was Washington Journal or on the Senate floor.

2. I found this quote

A Republican state representative from North Carolina this week took a moment to do something we have all done at one time or another. Rep. Don Davis sat down at his computer and forwarded an email he found to be worthy of dissemination to all of his Congressional colleagues.

The substance of the message: "Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity. Every problem that has arrisen (sic) can be directly traced back to our departure from God's Law and the disenfranchisement of White men."

Davis received this from a website entitled 'God's Order Affirmed in Love.' It comes as no surprise that Mr. Davis forwarded a message with religious overtones. Mr. Davis made his name in North Carolina politics by sponsoring a bill mandating the posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools.

That was EXACTLY what I wanted. I can search out the necessary background with Google from here. (3AM yet! I LOVE my DU!)
