What have Republicans done for the black community? What has the black community done for the black community?
We got your ass out of slavery and got LBJ the votes he needed to pass civil rights legislation over the objection of Democrats. We gave you the ability to determine your own future. (fucked that up, didn't you?)
Since then, the Democrats have been trying to become your masters all over again by making you dependent on them for your food and housing. You seem to like the Liberals' version of slavery. In stead of picking cotton and chopping sugar cane, all you have to do is vote once every 4 years.
You weren't around then. The republican party of that day is not the republican party of today. The "we" republicans you are referring to were the Liberals of that day, the democrats were the conservatives of the day who wanted to keep the status quo of slavery. So you can throw that assertion in the garbage. It's the same thing with the Civil Rights Act;the republicans of that da were the Liberals and the southern Democrats were the conservatives who wanted to keep the status quo of keeping the Blacks "in their place". The conservatives of that day were AGAINST the Civil Rights Act.
In your lexicon, what do the terms "Liberal" and Conservative" mean?
What do you feel the role of the government should be in the life of the average person?
