Why Black Voters Should Hate The Democrat Party

[Titanic Sailor]

How you attribute that to Republicans is beyond dumb. The South were solid, and still are solid Democrats, and especially when you provided your lynching "facts".

 

[Titanic Sailor]

The south were DEMOCRATS for most of our nations history.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

In fact, most of the northerners who opposed the abolition of slavery were Democrats. They were called Copperheads. History, isn't it awesome.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

By the way, the South didn't care for us northern white boys much either, they are still fighting the Civil War. Ask them, I did.

 

[beowolfe]

If a Republican issued these words, instead of Democrat Harry Reid there would be hell:

as a "light-skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

Many Democrats opposed the abolition of slavery, and not just the one's in the South either:
The Copperheads were a vocal group of Democrats in the Northern United States (see also Union (American Civil War)) who opposed the American Civil War, wanting an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. Republicans started calling antiwar Democrats "copperheads", likening them to the poisonous snake. The Peace Democrats accepted the label, but for them the copper "head" was the likeness of Liberty, which they cut from copper pennies proudly wore as badges. [1]

The Copperheads had numerous important newspapers, but the editors never formed an alliance. In Chicago, Wilbur F. Storey made the Chicago Times into Lincoln's most vituperative enemy. The New York Journal of Commerce, originally abolitionist, was sold to owners who became Copperheads, giving them an important voice in the largest city. A typical editor was Edward G. Roddy, owner of the Uniontown, Pennsylvania Genius of Liberty. He was an intensely partisan Democrat who saw black people as an inferior race and Abraham Lincoln as a despot and dunce. Although he supported the war effort in 1861, he blamed abolitionists for prolonging the war and denounced the government as increasingly despotic. By 1864 he was calling for peace at any price.

Hell, look at the overwhelming percentage of Democrats compared to Republicans who opposed the Civil Rights Act:
The original House version:

* Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
* Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)

* Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
* Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)

The Senate version:

* Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
* Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
* Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
* Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)

Responding to allegations that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a communist, the Kennedy administration agreed to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation wiretap private individuals, including Martin Luther King, Jr. This continued under Democrat Lyndon Johnson by the way.

Some day, when everyone has an opportunity to read and learn history, and realize today who the Democrats are, they will agree that Democrats are the Party of racism against blacks, bar none.

Always have been, always will be...........

Something tells me that you're not black, right?

That's the problem Ya Yank, these are historically challenged liberals. I would bet that most of them do not know that President Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN.

" With liberals, history starts brand new, each and every day." Ann Coulter

What, exactly, does Lincoln having been a Republican have to do with any Republican alive today?

 

[California Girl]

Both parties have had their 'issues' with race. I look forward to the day when none of us care... that includes the liberals treating blacks like 'pet projects' to be manipulated, pitied and made a cause. Just treat black like the human beings that they are... just like everyone else.

I see...in all these years...THREE republicans.
93 democrats. ---> Since 1929.
Grand Total: THREE REPUBLICANS.
THREE.

Hmmm..

Lazy? Perhaps you have nothing better to do with your time, like work, but I certainly do. From your source: The election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 led to a shift of black voting loyalties from Republican to Democrat, as Roosevelt's New Deal programs offered economic relief to blacks. From 1940 to 1970, nearly five million blacks moved north and also west, especially to California in the second wave of the Great Migration. By the 1960s, virtually all black voters were Democrats and most were voting in states outside the former Confederacy.

I am working. Right now. I own my own business, so I can arrange my time as I like. Poor you, huh?

And I don't know what you mean "my source" - I posted a list of Black Republicans elected since 1932, in direct reply back to your long unattributed Larry Elder cut & paste, where you posted the words as if they were your own (making you a plagerizing LIAR...and I do believe violates copywrite laws here) -- In direct reply to this comment made by you, uh, I mean Elder:

"How many people know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks -- 13 of them ex-slaves -- were elected to Congress, all as Republicans? The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973."

Mr. Elder, I mean you, failed to to note that since then ONLY THREE Black republicans have been elected to Congress since then. THREE. To the Democrats NINETY THREE.

Your party has had ample time in the last 50 years or so to bring black republicans to Congress and elect them.

Have you?

 

[Titanic Sailor]

Basically, many Republicans and independents view blacks as brothers and sisters, and care for them a lot more than Democrats and elitist liberals like Harry Reid do. We mean it when we are sorry, and resign in the face of failure like Lott. And now you are seeing the hypocrite left trip over themselves defending an obvious attitude reflection from Reid that blacks are somehow subservient. What is a Negro dialect anyways? Who uses that word on the Republican side? None who would be in office today for sure.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

Republicans don't recognize that blacks share their exact same values, but need to see the same economic success of Republicans and independents to jump ship. The Democrats have offered a pay off to some key blacks over the years that ensures blacks will stay a people under stress. It's the Republican base's fault for not recognizing it and providing more opportunities for blacks. That tide has been shifting, and will continue until we are all on the same page against the Democrat monopolized government that has presented us with massive failure to our peoples over the last 60 years plus.

We use to fight blacks in Boston during the riots, now they are our best friends. They are the only immigrants who speak English.

TAMPA -- Kelvin King was turned away from the polls here in November when records showed that he was ineligible to vote as a convicted felon. County election officials learned days later that King's civil rights had been restored eight months earlier.

Sandylynn Williams had voted in every election since she was 18. But this time, election officials confused her with her sister -- a felon who had once used Williams's name -- and refused to let her vote.


Jeffrey Key, 37, who served time on a 1989 armed robbery charge, said he resumed voting in 1992 without applying to have his voting rights restored. He said he also voted in 1996, but in 2000, he was turned away from the polls. (Jim Stem - Silver Image)


"They sent me a letter of apology, and I just laughed," recalled Williams, 34, who said she had planned to vote for Democratic nominee Al Gore. "I was cheated out of voting."

Democrat Finneran Update

Board recommends Finneran disbarred

Updated: Friday, 13 Mar 2009, 9:54 PM EDT
Published : Friday, 13 Mar 2009, 9:28 PM EDT

BOSTON (AP) - A legal disciplinary board has recommended that former Massachusetts House Speaker Thomas Finneran be disbarred for his conviction on a federal obstruction of justice charge.

Finneran's law license was temporarily suspended in 2007 after he pleaded guilty in federal court to lying about his role in a redistricting plan that diluted the clout of minority voters.

The recommendation made Friday by the Board of Bar Overseers will be sent to the state Supreme Judicial Court, which will have the ultimate say on what discipline Finneran receives.

A three-member panel of the board had recommended a two-year suspension. But the Office of the Bar Counsel, which prosecutes attorney misconduct cases, recommended disbarment, which would mean he could not practice law in Massachusetts again.

Oh, by the way:

Federal prosecutors and lawyers for Finneran recommended that the once-powerful figure on Beacon Hill receive 18 months of unsupervised probation and a $25,000 fine. In return, Finneran agreed not to run for any elected political position in state, federal or municipal government for five years after his sentencing date. The US Attorney's office agreed to dismiss three counts of perjury against Finneran.

Both parties have had their 'issues' with race. I look forward to the day when none of us care... that includes the liberals treating blacks like 'pet projects' to be manipulated, pitied and made a cause. Just treat black like the human beings that they are... just like everyone else.

That won't happen until the GOP stops pretending it is something that it's not. For most of the history of the nation, both parties were racists. Beginning with the Great Depression, the Dims began a run of 40-odd years of being the party in power. During those 40 years, some Dims changed their public views on race and along with some Repugs they enacted the civil rights act of 1964. That really pizzed off the racist Dims who hadn't changed their public views on race. All of them fled to the GOP. Fast forward 40 years and they now dominate the GOP with the illogical opinions of what public policy should or should not be.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

That Democrat tried to screw a lot more than one voter, and I'll bet blacks were turned away by Democrat state employees but no one wants to admit that.............

Then why do 95% of black voters vote democratic?

Why do you refuse to accept the facts that republicans have worked for decades to keep them from voting?

 

[Titanic Sailor]

all of them fled to the gop

liar!

What a cop out. Unsubstantiated garbage.

It was one local asshole right?

We are talking about years of history and court cases where Republicans systematically tried to keep blacks from voting.

Dixiecrat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The States' Rights Democratic Party was a short-lived splinter group that broke from the Democratic Party in 1948. The States' Rights Democratic Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy. The party's slogan was "Segregation Forever!" Members of the States' Rights Democratic Party were often known as Dixiecrats.
