The American Revolution = Democrats made up the ranks of Rebels and fought for the right to keep slaves.
A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism

A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism
The following are a few basic historical facts that every American should know.

Fact: The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose slavery, and Republicans eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them and tried to maintain and expand slavery. The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, passed in 1865 with 100% Republican support but only 23% Democrat support in congress.

Why is this indisputable fact so rarely mentioned? PBS documentaries about slavery and the Civil War barely mention it, for example. One can certainly argue that the parties have changed in 150 years (more about that below), but that does not change the historical fact that it was the Democrats who supported slavery and the Republicans who opposed it. And that indisputable fact should not be airbrushed out for fear that it will tarnish the modern Democratic Party.

Had the positions of the parties been the opposite, and the Democrats had fought the Republicans to end slavery, the historical party roles would no doubt be repeated incessantly in these documentaries. Funny how that works.

Fact: During the Civil War era, the "Radical Republicans" were given that name because they wanted to not only end slavery but also to endow the freed slaves with full citizenship, equality, and rights.

Yes, that was indeed a radical idea at the time!

Fact: Lincoln's Vice President, Andrew Johnson, was a strongly pro-Union (but also pro-slavery) Democrat who had been chosen by Lincoln as a compromise running mate to attract Democrats. After Lincoln was assassinated, Johnson thwarted Republican efforts in Congress to recognize the civil rights of the freed slaves, and Southern Democrats continued to thwart any such efforts for close to a century.

Fact: The 14th Amendment, giving full citizenship to freed slaves, passed in 1868 with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. The 15th Amendment, giving freed slaves the right to vote, passed in 1870 with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress.

Regardless of what has happened since then, shouldn't we be grateful to the Republicans for these Amendments to the Constitution? And shouldn't we remember which party stood for freedom and which party fiercely opposed it?

Fact: The Ku Klux Klan was originally and primarily an arm of the Southern Democratic Party. Its mission was to terrorize freed slaves and "ni**er-loving" (their words) Republicans who sympathized with them.

Why is this fact conveniently omitted in so many popular histories and depictions of the KKK, including PBS documentaries? Had the KKK been founded by Republicans, that fact would no doubt be repeated constantly on those shows.

Fact: In the 1950s, President Eisenhower, a Republican, integrated the US military and promoted civil rights for minorities. Eisenhower pushed through the Civil Rights Act of 1957. One of Eisenhower's primary political opponents on civil rights prior to 1957 was none other than Lyndon Johnson, then the Democratic Senate Majority Leader. LBJ had voted the straight segregationist line until he changed his position and supported the 1957 Act.

Fact: The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it.

Fact: Contrary to popular misconception, the parties never "switched" on racism. The Democrats just switched from overt racism to a subversive strategy of getting blacks as dependent as possible on government to secure their votes. At the same time, they began a cynical smear campaign to label anyone who opposes their devious strategy as greedy racists.

Following the epic civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the South began a major demographic shift from Democratic to Republican dominance. Many believe that this shift was motivated by racism. While it is certainly true that many Southern racists abandoned the Democratic Party over its new support for racial equality and integration, the notion that they would flock to the Republican Party -- which was a century ahead of the Democrats on those issues -- makes no sense whatsoever.

Yet virtually every liberal, when pressed on the matter, will inevitably claim that the parties "switched," and most racist Democrats became Republicans! In their minds, this historical ju jitsu maneuver apparently transfers all the past sins of the Democrats (slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, etc.) onto the Republicans and all the past virtues of the Republicans (e.g., ending slavery) onto the Democrats! That's quite a feat!

It is true that Barry Goldwater's opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 probably attracted some racist Democrats to the Republican Party. However, Goldwater was not a racist -- at least not an overt racist like so many Southern Democrats of the time, such as George Wallace and Bull Connor. He publicly professed racial equality, and his opposition to the 1964 Act was based on principled grounds of states rights. In any case, his libertarian views were out of step with the mainstream, and he lost the 1964 Presidential election to LBJ in a landslide.

But Goldwater's opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act provided liberals an opening to tar the Republican Party as racist, and they have tenaciously repeated that label so often over the years that it is now the conventional wisdom among liberals. But it is really nothing more than an unsubstantiated myth -- a convenient political lie. If the Republican Party was any more racist than the Democratic Party even in 1964, why did a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress vote for the 1964 Civil Rights Act? The idea that Goldwater's vote on the 1964 Civil Rights Act trumps a century of history of the Republican Party is ridiculous, to say the least.

Every political party has its racists, but the notion that Republicans are more racist than Democrats or any other party is based on nothing more than a constant drumbeat of unsubstantiated innuendo and assertions by Leftists, constantly echoed by the liberal media. It is a classic example of a Big Lie that becomes "true" simply by virtue of being repeated so many times.

A more likely explanation for the long-term shift from Democratic to Republican dominance in the South was the perception, fair or not, that the Democratic Party had rejected traditional Christian religious values and embraced radical secularism. That includes its hardline support for abortion, its rejection of prayer in public schools, its promotion of the gay agenda, and many other issues.

In the 1960s the Democratic Party changed its strategy for dealing with African Americans. Thanks to earlier Republican initiatives on civil rights, blatant racial oppression was no longer a viable political option. Whereas before that time Southern Democrats had overtly and proudly segregated and terrorized blacks, the national Democratic Party decided instead to be more subtle and get them as dependent on government as possible. As LBJ so elegantly put it (in a famous moment of candor that was recorded for posterity), "I'll have those ******* voting Democratic for the next 200 years." At the same time, the Democrats started a persistent campaign of lies and innuendo, falsely equating any opposition to their welfare state with racism.

From a purely cynical political perspective, the Democratic strategy of black dependence has been extremely effective. LBJ knew exactly what he was doing. African Americans routinely vote well over 90 percent Democratic for fear that Republicans will cut their government benefits and welfare programs. And what is the result? Before LBJ's Great Society welfare programs, the black illegitimacy rate was as low as 23 percent, but now it has more than tripled to 72 percent.

Most major American city governments have been run by liberal Democrats for decades, and most of those cities have large black sections that are essentially dysfunctional anarchies. Cities like Detroit are overrun by gangs and drug dealers, with burned out homes on every block in some areas. The land values are so low due to crime, blight, and lack of economic opportunity that condemned homes are not even worth rebuilding. Who wants to build a home in an urban war zone? Yet they keep electing liberal Democrats -- and blaming "racist" Republicans for their problems!

Washington DC is another city that has been dominated by liberal Democrats for decades. It spends more per capita on students than almost any other city in the world, yet it has some of the worst academic achievement anywhere and is a drug-infested hellhole. Barack Obama would not dream of sending his own precious daughters to the DC public schools, of course -- but he assures us that those schools are good enough for everyone else. In fact, Obama was instrumental in killing a popular and effective school voucher program in DC, effectively killing hopes for many poor black families trapped in those dysfunctional public schools. His allegiance to the teachers unions apparently trumps his concern for poor black families.

A strong argument could also be made that Democratic support for perpetual affirmative action is racist. It is, after all, the antithesis of Martin Luther King's dream of a color-blind society. Not only is it "reverse racism," but it is based on the premise that African Americans are incapable of competing in the free market on a level playing field. In other words, it is based on the notion of white supremacy, albeit "benevolent" white supremacy rather than the openly hostile white supremacy of the pre-1960s Democratic Party.

The next time someone claims that Republicans are racist and Democrats are not, don't fall for it.

NOTICE ANY PATTERN BUTTERCUP?

Southern???

Listen you incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial leftist; why don't you research this board, or the internet, if you don't believe it. Your theory has been slapped, kicked, and disproven over, and over, and over, again. Now while I normally would educate your ignorant ass, I have already done it to many times on this board; only to have you snowflakes run like hell. Educating a snowflake is a waste of time, as they melt at the first sign of facts. Therefore, educate yourself! Teach yourself something, before you EVER attempt to teach someone else.

Got it Cupcake, you "believe" in the Rush Limbaugh view of US history, it was those evil liberals who gave US the KKK and CSA and fought civil rights against he overwhelming insistence of the conservatives who today are upset fop getting rid of the rebel flag and fight equality for all? That about it Cupcake?

You keep believing those CSA had an unknown liberal bastion of hate while pushing that "christianity" and hate cupcake

 

[JonKoch]

Liberals we have got to start controlling the message and correcting the lies that come out of the mouths of the conservatives.

They have nothing besides lies and crap.

Yeah, having 9 out of 10 media outlets doing your bidding just ain't enough, RIGHT?

.

CORP MEDIA LIBERAL HUH CUPCAKE?

Poor, poor little snowflake. So easily confused. Can you explain how you got corporate media out of media outlets? I guess the internet media outlets have escaped your intellectual grasp. BTW the chart pretty much confirms what I said about the MSM, as all pump out regressive BS all the way through their supposed entertainment programing.

.

.

Sorry Cupcake were you attempting to show the MSM was liberal somehow when 90% of it is owned by 6 LARGE CORP INTERESTS?

Even that "liberal" MSNBC fired the top rated host (Phil Donahue) when he spoke out against Dubya's war of choice Buttercup

 

[JonKoch]

You completely ignored Al Gore Sr. Participating in the Filibuster against Civil rights. I guess he was a closeted conservative too.

And LBJ.


.

LBJ? They guy who pushed it through Cupcake?

So far we on the left don't have the fire the right has to fight for what it believes in ...Honestly,when we get real passion and start pushing liberalism and stand up to counter the conservative points= get thought of as bad and people don't want to hear it. We're snowflakes for fighting for fair treatment of the LGBT community, we're snowflakes for wanting to help people and we're snowflakes for asking for a little common decency...The right can scream and whine all day long about how they want to take this away from the poor, cut science and be outright assholes to most of the population and you know what..They win.

Most of their policies don't even make a ounce of sense (at least to me)but they keep saying it until people believe it. What is most ironic is Trump on the campaign trial was talking about a snake and how you shouldn't trust that snake....Well, looking at his history and how he treats people, I think he just played the biggest con ever on the American people. Why? He outsources, he brings in cheap labor and hell he even doesn't pay his workers.A life time of fucking people over and stealing from people.

Why on earth should I or anyone stop fighting for better infrastructure, funded science and a basic safetynet for our poor and old. I won't stop! Stopping is losing. People of course will get tired of it but won't get tired of hearing the cruel senseless crap coming out of the mouths of the conservatives that support the very people that have fucked the very people that are tired of my message over the past 50 fucking years. Even Trump the big liar of our time ran on this message so conservatives and tired so called liberals, well, look at the reality and the evidence for once.

It is time for people on the left to get as angry as the people that want to fuck us over currently are. Time to sharpen the horns.

1. True, you don't. Most importantly though, you won't. One on One, you lose every time. You need mobs, we don't. Think about that.

2. What you folks believe in is a basket of idiotic ideas. Tough to get fired up when your base is a bunch of nuts.

Uhm......When the Voting Rights Act hit the floor in 1965, the vote results mirrored those of the Civil Rights Act. ... In the Senate, the measure passed by a 77-19 vote, with 73 percent of Democrats and 94 percent of Republicans supporting the bill. So it's clear that Republican support for both bills was deep.

Using the terms "LGBT" and "common decency" in the same sentence is just laughable. The queer-enabler movement is about flaunting its abhorrent sexual deviancy in the face of Americans, including children.

YOU WERE SAYING CUPCAKE?


Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia

Listen up you miserable piece of horse dung, in both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Act of 1965 the republicans carried the day, that is a fact. Now sit your stupid ass down and stop spinning like a top

IF you meant in both of those much more Dems voted for them? True, also true ONLY 8 OUT OF 138 Southerners supported them


Sorry Cupcake, THOSE are FACTS

LBJ'S QUOTES STANDS CUPCAKE

 

[JonKoch]

We on the right believe the left must be destroyed once and for all, purged from ever holding power again. Its hard to top that motivation.

True Cupcake, I believe the same about you rightards who NEVER learn from history

As you can see the left hates me ^^^ so I hate them back 10x. I find comfort knowing they will die out in time, part of nature weeding out the weak.

Don't know about the "left" Cupcake, but I despise you ignorant tools
