The article states....
Brain scanners? Ha ha I wonder if more of the poolsters were Democrats?
Who made up the list of questions?
The article says,
No ones denies there are racist people in America. To think otherwise would be ignorant and naïve.
Let us be reminded that….Republicans are the ones who fought to end slavery while the Democrats fought for States Rights and keeping slavery alive. Even after slavery it was the Democrats who fought for segregation and as a percentage more Republicans voted for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did DEMOCRATS. Taht is fact.
Democrats have been feeding minorities negative information about Republicans and racism for years.
The Republican Party platform the year that Lincoln was elected President sought to prevent the spread of slavery. After Lincoln freed the slaves Black voters SUPPORTED the Republican Party for years. In 1956 Eisenhower received well over 33% of the Black vote. After slavery came the battle over segregation. In 1963 George Wallace was quoted as saying, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”
Wallace was a racist and a DEMOCRAT.
In 1954 Orville Faubus attempted to stop desegregation in a public school in Little Rock.
He was a racist and a Democrat.
It was Eisenhower who sent in police to enforce the rule.
He was a Republican.
J. Edgar Hoover the head of the FBI received permission to wiretap Martin L King Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy gave Hoover permission.
He was a DEMOCRAT.
President Harry Truman once called fellow Congressman Adam Clayton Powell,“That damned ****** preacher.”
He was a Democrat.
Lyndon Johnson said, “I talk everything over with (my wife),” continuing,” Of course…I have a ****** maid, and I talk my problems over with her too.”
He was a Democrat.
Both parties I believe (as has history has shown), are filled with racist politicians. But as far as the party platform, the Republicans are far the ones who care the least what the color of your skin is and focus on what’s important, as Martin Luther King said, ”The content of your character.”
Wallace is dead, therefor has no more effect on the Democrats.
Faubus is dead, therefor has no more effect on the Democrats.
Eisenhower is dead, therefor has no more effect on Republicans.
Hoover is dead, therefor has no more effect on Democrats
RFK is dead, therefor has no more effect on Democrats.
Truman is dead, therefor has no more effect on Democrats.
Johnson is dead, and therefor has no more effect on Democrats.
In light of this new information, would it be safe to say that the living democrats bear less resemblance to the dead ones used to bolster your arguement?
Ignorance and Cognitive deficiencies live on, as indicated by the post to which I am responding.
I mean, in this day and age, what person doesn't understand the concept of CHANGE OVER F/CKING TIME!?
For nearly a century, yes democrats were the party of racists, especially after Republicans "won" the civil war. But you know what happened? racist democrats died off (not completely), and I dunno, the famous "I'm signing away the south" statement also pops into my head for some magical reason...
No, it's not really magical, events occur and change things. That is why we pay attention to events after all. Whole books wirtten on events too. Events with related effects, events from one year or period, to another year or period.
Furthermore, and what is MOST important. This thread is about Cons, or Conservatives. Not about Democrats and Republicans. In light of that, it's conservatives that tend to resist change, including racial changes. Unless of course, you are trying to say that the Democrats are the Conservatives of American politics, your post really was a waste of time.
If you waste more of my time responding to any one thing, respond to this:
Since those events have occured, the statements and acts you listed, has ANYTHING else occured between then and now, and if ANYTHING (ANYTHING AT ALL) has occured, has ANY of the ANYTHING effected events and behaviors occuring today?
