The Forgotten President Who Was a Hero to Black Americans

BY ROBERT SPENCER JUN 10, 2020

Excerpt:

Today is the renowned bluesman Howlin’ Wolf’s birthday, offering us a reminder that even through times of segregation and genuine “systemic racism,” race relations in America were not always as overheated and tense as they are today. When Wolf was born on this day in 1910, he was named Chester Arthur Burnett, after the twenty-first president of the United States, Chester Arthur. This was because Arthur, who was president from September 1881 to March 1885, was a champion of civil rights in an age when very few were. Although Arthur is forgotten today, a quarter-century after his death, Wolf’s parents demonstrated that they remembered his efforts for black Americans.

It seems that black racists here don't give a shit about a white man who was good for the black people in those days.

Lol! Do you know what really was happening to blacks then?

The Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3 (1883), were a group of five cases in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments did not empower Congress to outlaw racial discrimination by private individuals.

Civil Rights Cases - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"The decision that the Reconstruction-era Civil Rights Acts were unconstitutional has not been overturned; on the contrary, the Supreme Court reaffirmed this limited reading of the Fourteenth Amendment in United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000)"

Chester Arthur, president from September 1881 to March 1885. President during the civil rights cases. The president that allowed the 13th, 14th amendments to be nullified. There are no black racists here. There are whites who are racist that employ racial gaslighting like you just did.

The Amendments were NEVER nullified, what an idiotic claim you made. They still exist today as part of the Constitution.

It seems that black racists here don't give a shit about a white man who was good for the black people in those days.

Bullshit. The only white man I give props to is John Brown.

This is what america thought of Blacks back then.

" [African Americans] had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it. "

The topic is about President Arthur and the black mans family who liked him for his recorded defense of Black rights of his day.

Since you show you didn't read the article your replies are empty and stupid.

So far two white hating racists have ignored the posted article to attack whites in general, it is clear you are here to troll, get back on topic or you get reported.

Look you silly SOB. Your claim was that Black people dont give props to whites. John Brown was a down ass white boy. If you dont like that you should probably reword your OP or shut the fuckup and deal with your angst in a constructive manner.

From the article people are ignoring:


"As explained in Rating America’s Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster, when Arthur was twenty-five in 1854, he joined the law firm of Erastus D. Culver, at which he formed part of a legal team that argued successfully for the freedom of any slaves that their owners brought to New York.

Arthur also led the defense team for a black woman, Elizabeth Jennings Graham, who was not allowed to ride a New York City streetcar. The future president won the case, and New York City streetcars were desegregated, one hundred years before Rosa Parks, courtesy of Chester Arthur."

Woodrow Wilson (D) Segregated the Army. Keeping the Colored to theyselves!

The Racist Legacy of Woodrow Wilson

FDR (D) Appointed a genuine KKK member to the US Supreme Court

This Supreme Court Justice Was a KKK Member

"...the reporter had also discovered that in September 1926, while he was still running for the Senate, Black was welcomed back into the Klan and given a life membership."

On the Way With L.B.J.

"Son, when I appoint a ****** to the Supreme Court (Thurgood Marshall) I want every one to know he's a ******"

No white person gave more in defense of Black people than John Brown you fucking moron. He gave his life. Besides Chet was a racist. He signed the Chinese Exclusion Act.
