No, you're not glorifying Democrats but you'll take the welfare and do as you're told in order to get it.And once again, I give facts and you give fiction. You'll say just about anything to avoid assigning responsibility to your race for their own failures, including trying to change historic facts. Not only do you make up your own facts, you twist what I say as well, in an effort to avoid the truth.Nice fantasy, too bad it's all bullshit. I gave facts, you gave fiction.Abolitionists were Republicans, slave owners were Democrats, KKK was created to intimidate Republicans and blacks, Jim Crow laws were passed by Democrats. .[/Q
Yes. SOUTHERN Democrats.
Whenever the topic of racism gets brought up between Democrats and Republicans, there are two facts you’ll almost always hear conservatives use to counter the belief that their party is full of racism:
President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican
The KKK was largely organized, and populated by, Democrats
And both are facts.
But when someone uses these two items as their defense that the Republican party isn’t loaded with racism, they’re only showing their ignorance about the reality of racism within their party.
It’s true, Southern Democrats were extremely racist. At the same time, Northern “liberal” Democrats and Republicans had already been working together to end discrimination and pushed for ending segregation.
See, in 1948, President Harry Truman made one of the boldest public moves by a Democrat towards Civil Rights for African Americans by creating the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, and ending discrimination in the military. At the Democratic National Convention in 1948 a call was made for civil rights—prompting at least 35 Southern delegates to walk out.

These movements towards civil rights for African Americans spurred a short-lived political party — the States Rights Democratic Party, also known as the “Dixiecrats.” The people who comprised this movement adamantly defended segregation of the races. It was an attempt to keep the “tyrannical Northern liberals” from “destroying the freedom of states’ rights in the South.”
Luckily, this political party only lasted one election. But what this movement really did was recognize the shift of Democrats embracing equality for African Americans and Southern whites strongly opposing any mention of civil rights.
The moves by President Truman sparked the spread of equality in the South and left Southern white Democrats with a feeling that their party was abandoning their racist — and oppressive — system of beliefs.
Over the next decade, more and more Democrats began to embrace equality, passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And while more African Americans began to vote for Democrats, in the late-1960′s a new Republican strategy was put into place—the “Southern strategy.”
This was a plan was that was first popularized by Richard Nixon.
What the “Southern strategy” essentially does is it identified the fact that African Americans were voting for Democrats, therefore Republicans decided they would make white voters more aware of this fact in hopes of driving the “white vote” towards the Republican party.
Doubt me? Let’s look at a comment from a 1970′s interview in the New York Times with Richard Nixon’s political strategist:
“From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don’t need any more than that…but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.”
Essentially it was the Republican party saying, “Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans—the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks.”

With this strategy, you saw the official shift of the Republican party from the “party of Lincoln” to the party which embraced white racism towards African Americans to solidify the white vote in the South.
So, yeah, it’s easy to say Lincoln was a Republican and the KKK was largely built by Democrats, but by doing so you only prove your own ignorance of history. You’re ignoring the fact that as Democrats evolved to embrace equality for African Americans, Southern racists were left looking for a new political party — and they found one that not only embraced their racism and bigotry, it sought it out.
And that party they found was the Republican party.
Southern blacks voted Republican because Republicans were the ones who freed them from slavery. Democrats tried intimidation (KKK), but they still voted Republican, they passed racist laws (Jim Crow), but the Civil Rights Act (filibustered by Democrats and passed by Republicans) put an end to that. The only option the Democrats had was to BUY the black vote by making them dependent on government through welfare. That's when President Johnson (a known racist) started his "Great Society". It worked, why wouldn't it? Tear down their self esteem, destroy their family unit, make them feel like they can't achieve anything on their own, give them welfare and food stamps and an excuse for failure, then call Republicans racist for not going along with it. Heaven forbid those white devils should want blacks to stand on their own two feet like everybody else and participate in the American Dream.
You can hold onto your fantasy and repeat it at every opportunity if you want but you have no historical data to back it up. Everything I just said is verifiable. Face it, you've been used like pawns by the Democratic Party. They've been promising you freedom and prosperity for 50 years now and you're still at the bottom. You're still slaves on a plantation.
The abolishment of slavery, the Civil Rights Act, and all other anti discriminatory steps forward were accomplished by LIBERAL NORTHERN Democrats and Republicans.
None were exclusively accomplished by Republicans alone as you keep saying.
In fact, SOUTHERN Republicans were equally as opposed in their vote as SOUTHERN Democrats to the Civil Rights Act.
Your head is thicker than a brick wall.
And that's incredible in an age where information and facts are available to everyone.
First you say "Republicans" are the party of racism. I give you proof that Democrats are the racist party and always have been, and you say "Yeah, but they were conservative Democrats", as if that somehow makes them Republicans. Then you try to say Democrats and Republicans "switched parties". You think anybody buys that bullshit? All anyone has to do is look at how conservative blacks are treated by Democrats (not just registered Democrats but ELECTED OFFICIALS and leaders in the Democratic Party) and it's clear that they are STILL the party of racism. You, however, don't want to see that, you just keep spewing your bullshit talking points and keep your head buried in the sand, bitterly clinging to your fantasy and liberal/socialist narrative because you can't face the truth that you've been played for 50 years by the party you think gives a damn about you. Until you can come to terms with that reality, you will remain on the plantation.
Great "talking points" did you copy them an article by one of

Look up the distribution of votes in favor of the Civil Rights Act. Even as slow as you are, it is so clear that even you will be able to see that SOUTHERN Republicans AND Democrats were both on a majority basis opposed to its passage.
Im not glorifying Democrats either, as it is not my belief that them or Republicans have any stake in the well being of the black population of this country. And frankly if YOU are not within the very small percentile of those who control the nations wealth., they dont care about your well being either, so like it or not, you are a prisoner on the same plantation that you're rambling about.
Educate yourself. You are extremely ignorant.
And where did I say I thought anybody cared about my well being, idiot? I'm not the one beholden to any party for my income like blacks are to Democrats, so your argument is not valid. They never are, you simply regurgitate the talking points programmed into you by your masters. You are more than willing to let them piss on you and throw you scraps as long as you don't have to work for it.
