Republican/Democrat slavery lesson...

Next time you see any post about racism from your local democrat, read below. You then will understand their intentions are not genuine, but politically indoctrinated.



The Republicans not only voted to end slavery against Democratic opposition (13th amendment), they wanted to give the freed slaves equal citizenship under the law. Lincoln's VP was a southern Democrat, persuaded to run with Lincoln to get more Democrat votes. After Lincoln was shot, Johnson (Democrat) vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, Congress overrode the veto and the bill became law. That same year, the 14th amendment was proposed, Johnson vetoed the bill, the Republican congress overrode the veto. In 1868, Johnson was impeached. In 1869, Ulysses S. Grant (Republican) became president. The Republican congress created the 15th amendment to try to protect the voting rights of African Americans, Southerners started voting for white only Democrat governments, referred to as "Redeemer" governments. The Republican congress was passing laws allowing the government to act against racist groups, such as the KKK. In 1874, the Democrats won control of Congress for the first time since the start of the Civil War. In 1875, the outgoing Republican Congress passed the Civil Rights act of 1875, which banned segregation in all public accommodations, such as hotels, restaurants, theaters... The Supreme Court ruled the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional. For nearly 100 years, southern Democrats knocked down every attempt to pass the Civil Rights act. In 1957, Eisenhower got a bill through, but to do so, the bill was very weak in order to get it past the southern Democrats. President Kennedy tried to pass the Civil Rights Act, but knew he needed to find a way to get it past the southern Democrats....NOT Republicans. President Kennedy, like Lincoln, was assassinated before the Civil Rights Act was passed. Ironically, Kennedy also had a VP named Johnson, but this Johnson got the bill passed. It took 100 years to get what Lincoln wanted done due to opposition from Democrats. Since this time, Republicans are still concerned about the welfare of African Americans, wanting to see fewer African Americans dependent on welfare, less violence in African American communities, and fewer unwed mothers raising their children alone. The problem, it seems, is that modern Americans are fuzzy on our history. The Civil War was not about slavery? Believe that if you will, but it brought about the end of slavery and a lot of fine, young, men gave their lives to make that happen.

The Republican party was created to end slavery and was called the "Radical Republicans" because, at that time, this seemed like a radical idea. The party was not called "liberal." Liberal can be on either side of the spectrum, but is typically used to describe the Democrats with a far left-leaning view. Most Democrats are moderate, not liberal. On the other side, the people far from center are called "Right Wing Conservatives." People tend to think of back woods hillbillies and KKK types as Right Wing Conservatives, not realizing the KKK was formed by southern Democrats to oppose the Reconstruction act passed by the Republican congress. Also, most Republicans are moderates.

The uneducated are ignorant and the vast majority of today's people are followers, whatever anyone tells them is what they believe instead of learning, knowing and understanding the actual facts. Sad world...

Y'all cannot get that what the parties represented then are not what they stand for today!! That's total ignorance of fact.

Completely missed the point...

It never gets old seeing ol Guidry as the resident whipping boy. Once again, truth and logic prevail and Dean can't deny any of it. Good job pointing out the FACTS guys.

speaking of "racism" I see Baltimore has fired their police chief.

In typical democrat fashion, the white liberals and the MSM rushed in to stir up the stinky racism pot because a dope dealer with 22 prior arrests died. Race had nothing to do with it. Who gets left with the stench?

These white democrats spread their lies, hate, and racism, then they pack their little lily white asses up and go back to their all white neighborhoods.

Who lost their businesses to burning and looting? - black folks

Whose neighborhoods were burned? -black folks

Who now has a freakishly high crime rate with murder through the roof? - black folks

Who got fired? The black police chief.

Who will end up getting accused of killing Freddy Grey? -The black vehicle driver

One day black folks are going to figure out that LBJ and crowd pulled a slick trick on us and change the way they vote.

Ranger knocks it out of the park.
Exactly

A simple review of party switching from Dem to GOP the last 30 years reveals white flight. Whatever remained of the Democratic Party after the civil rights movement reflected a core beliefs much different than what existed before blacks became a voting block. The southern den block became the southern GOP block. If you will, the racists southern dems became racist southern republicans. They all followed the lead of Strom Thurmond.

The entire party switching story is a lie. I can give you fifty more links telling you why it is a lie.


“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”-LBJ



The old racist of the south did not become republicans. Many died off, but the south still pulled the lever for democrat Jimmy Carter, and for Bill Clinton. If you actually study who switched parties during the 1960s, you will find that there was no more party switching than any other decade in American history. Ronald Regan started out as a democrat and president of the Screen Actors Guild and became a republican. Howard Dean started out a republican and became democrat. Of the dixiecrats who voted in 64, the only to actually become a republican was Strom Thurmond. Byrd, Gore, LBJ, Fulbright, and the rest of that crowd all remained democrats. Fulbright was one of the 19 senators who signed the “Southern manifesto” defending segregation.


The shift in the south to vote Republican had more to do with not voting with big unions, abortion rights, gay rights, and decimating our military. I have been to the tea party events, I have been associated with conservative causes for close to three decades and I have never heard anyone speak on voting for racist causes, but have hear plenty of sticking to the constitution, balancing the budget, family values, freedom of worship, gun rights.....


"The “solid south” Democratic voting pattern began to break down not in the 1960s in response to civil rights but in the 1950s in response to economic development and the Cold War. (Black voters in the north, who had been reliable Republicans, began to abandon the GOP in response to the New Deal, encouraged by activists like Robert Vann to “turn Lincoln’s picture to the wall. That debt has been paid in full.”) In the 1940s, the GOP garnered only about 25 percent of southern votes. The big break came with Eisenhower’s victories. Significant percentages of white southerners voted for Ike even though the Democratic party remained firmly segregationist and even though Eisenhower backed two civil-rights bills and enforced the Brown decision by federalizing the National Guard. They also began to send GOP representatives to the House. These Republican gains came not from the most rural and “deep south” regions, but rather from the newer cities and suburbs. If the new southern Republican voters were white racists, one would have expected Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia to be the first to turn. Instead, as Gerard Alexander notes in “The Myth of the Racist Republicans,” the turn toward the GOP began in Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. Eisenhower did best in the peripheral states. Alexander concludes: “The GOP’s southern electorate was not rural, nativist, less educated, afraid of change, or concentrated in the . . . Deep South. It was disproportionately suburban, middle-class, educated, young, non-native southern, and concentrated in the growth points that were the least ‘Southern’ parts of the south.”

In the above cartoon I posted its a simple, crude and very true way of categorizing your local democrat.

Call everyone else a "racisit" all the while using race to better yourself.

Riddle me this,,,is having a human work for you for a small wage and/or food and shelter any different then forcing a humans to vote for you for a small wage and/or food and shelter? Is that slavery? Could it be, that a modern day democrats are the biggest slave driving institution ever?

Dem's have been doing both since the beginning, no?

Dean, I'll stipulate that all you say is true. Just for the moment.
How are the black people doing under the leadership of the democrat party?
How are the same people doing under the Civil Rights Act that so many democrats opposed?
How are the poor doing the war on poverty that LBJ created in 1964?
How are the hungry doing since the Food Stamp Act of 1964 when LBJ made food stamps permanent?
All your party did was create a dependent class of people that have become wards of the government.
We now call food stamps....supplemental nutrition, we call welfare....insurance, we call things neat, clever names now to avoid making people feel that they are dependent of government welfare.
Maybe if poverty were painful more people wouldn't live their lives in it. (credit to Churchill on that one).
Maybe if the democrat party wasn't so determined to get or buy every vote possible to line their own pockets, more Americans, especially the blacks, would be in better shape today.
You party has kept the black family in poverty for generations.
It is undeniable.

“There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery is an institution of a moral and political evil” ~ Confederate General Robert E. Lee in 1858

Say It aint so,,,,A "Confederate General" calling it this way? No no noooo....Confederate flags stand for Racism..

Make you wonder what they teaching them democrats.

The US flag flew over a slave nation for over 85 years! The North tolerated slavery and acknowledged it as a Division Of Labor. The North made a vast fortune on slavery and it’s commodities. It wasn’t until the South decided to leave the Union that the North objected. The North knew it could not survive without the Southern money. That is the true definition of hypocrisy.

We are now living in this "touchy-feely" time where everyone is hyper sensitive of everything.
It's out of the liberal playbook and the lips of the democrats' most devious, lying, cheating trash mouth that ever graced the streets of America. He is known by his nickname...."the creepy ballerina", none other than Rahm Emanuel. I believe he coined the phrase, "never let crisis go to waste". He now presides over one of America's worst crime ridden areas, Chicago. It seems that Chicago got much worse when Emanuel was elected mayor. It is also coincidental that America went downhill when Obama was elected and re-elected.
What do they have in common?
They are both democrats. Liberal democrats.
So 9 God loving souls were gunned down by a spineless loser coward in Charleston and what do we do?
We blame it on a flag, we blame it on dead soldiers, we blame it on southern culture, we blame it on street names....and on and on.
I think it's time to blame it on the democrat party. All blame lies at their feet. They created this racial strife, the hate, the division....they have been fanning the racial flames for almost a century.
They do it for votes.
So now that the flag in SC comes down, what is next? Or will all race and crime problems be solved?
The American flag flew over slavery for more years than any other.
Should we take it down?
George Washington owned slaves, let's change the name of Washington DC to Obama DC. I would hope that would placate some of the miscreants.
I ask again, what next?????

I apologize for not commenting on the last part of your post...."our great president obama".
Where to start?
Highest number of Americans unemployed.
Highest number of Americans on food stamps.
Highest number of Americans receiving unemployment.
Highest debt ever.
Highest racial animosity ever.
Highest black unemployment ever.
Lowest home ownership by black families ever.
Highest foreclosure rate of minority home owners ever.
Highest number of American cities on the brink of bankruptcy ever. (all democrat controlled)
Highest number of black abortions ever.
The list goes on.
The great president obama....hardly a chance in 100 years.

You complain a lot, but when the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, one would think Republicans would be just fine with the way things are. Maybe the 1%ers are really democrats.

Does it matter which party these crooked politicians are from?
They are all crooks. In it for their own gain. They don't give a rats a** about poor people or blacks or Mexicans or anyone else until it's time for voting.
If anyone of them came to my front door asking to use my phone to call a mechanic to repair their limo's flat tire I would let my lab out and chase them from the property.
Dean, when are you going to understand that the republicans have become as bad as the democrats?
Or, conversely, the democrats have become as bad as the republicans.
These politicians care about one thing and one thing only....their own asses.
The days of democrats and republicans actually helping poor people have long since passed. Ted Kennedy, despite his problems, did care about the down trodden of society. Not many left of either party to help people that legitimately need assistance. I don't mean the segment of America that refuses responsibility and will not work. You know their ilk. Your party created them.

Can anyone answer why the Obama's don't have to have Obama care. Is that ironic or what?

The problem is everyone cares about their self and not the group. It may seem like they care about others but there is always an underlying meaning for their own personal gain.

I was hoping someone else would answer besides you and ranger..lol

Haha, I'm a rookie at this compared to ranger.
I'll be quiet and let Dean answer.

That just shows how stupid people are. That's about the same as Obama saying everyone has to drink acid while my family drinks grape koolaid. It'll be ok just do it. It's to better the country.
