When a black liberal sees the light, he is no longer accepted as black or a liberal. Funny how that works. I've always thought that black people shouldn't depend on the government for their needs, nor be encouraged to play the victim card.
Frederick Douglass was once asked, "What shall we (the Government) do with a Negro?"
"...Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!"
No truer words have ever been spoken by a black man.
Not all.
Here's the problem. If left to "conservatives", we'd still have slavery.
If left to "Conservatives", we'd still have Jim Crow
From Nixon's Southern Strategy, to Reagan's Imaginary Welfare Queen, to Willy Horton, to Jesse Helms' "White Hands" ad, the GOP spent a lot of time playing to Racism to get working class whites to vote against their own economic interests.
So, not amazingly, there's resentment against blacks who go along with being the "token" who would still be riding on the back of the bus if they had their way.
As good lookin' as that avi is, that approaches how stupid you are.

First, look up who passed the 13th and 14th amendments, and then re-post those bogus claims that you've actually studied history.
Now....let's really beat you to a pulp:
1.
Democrat Governor Clinton invited Orval Faubus to his inauguration and they exchanged an almost South American abrazo, embrace,
Booknotes :: Watch
a. ClintonÂ’s mentor was
Democrat J. William Fulbright, a vehement foe of integration who had voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
b. Governor Orval Faubus,
progressive New Deal Democrat, blocked the schoolhouse door to the Little Rock Central High School with the stateÂ’s National Guard rather than allow nine black students to attend.
2. Language is important, so in any discussion of who the segregationists were,
liberals switch the word “Democrats” to “southerners.” Remember, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was supported by all the Republicans in the Senate, but only 29 of 47 Democrats…and a number of the
‘segregationist’ Democrats were northern Dems (Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming). Not southerners:
Democrats.
a. There were plenty of
southern integrationists. They were Republicans.
3. 1966- pro-integrationist Republican Winthrop Rockefeller won Arkansas, replacing Clinton-pal Orval Faubus.
4. 1966 Republican Bo Calloway ran against
Democrat Lester Maddox, who “gained national attention for refusing to serve blacks in his popular cafeteria near the Georgia Tech campus. Newsmen tipped off about the confrontation reported how restaurant patrons and employees wielded ax handles while Mr. Maddox waved a pistol. …”

a. Maddox was endorsed by Democrat Jimmy Carter in the above governorÂ’s race. When the race was too close to call, the Democrat state legislature gave it to Maddox.
b. Calloway appealed to the Supreme CourtÂ….but the court upheld the legislatureÂ’s decision.
c. On that very Supreme Court was former
KKK member Justice Hugo Black.
d. Democrat Hugo Black was
Democrat FDR’s first appointee, in 1937. This KKK Senator from Alabama wrote the majority decision on Korematsu v. US; in 1967, he said ‘They all look alike to a person not a Jap.”

e. Liberal historian Eric Foner writes that
the Klan was “…a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party…” Foner, “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,” p. 425
5. 1966- Republican Spiro Agnew ran against
Democrat segregationists George Mahoney for governor of Maryland. Agnew enacted some of the first laws in the nation against race discrimination in public housing. “Agnew signed the state's first open-housing laws and succeeded in getting the repeal of an anti-miscegenation law.”

6. 1957-
Democrat Sam Ervin, another liberal luminary, instrumental in the destruction of anti-communist Republicans Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon, told
his fellow segregationists, and who led the Watergate investigation, said of the 1957 civil rights bill: “We’ve got to give the goddamned ******* something. We’re not gonna be able to get out of here until we’ve got some kind of ****** bill.’
Robert Caro, “Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson,” xv.
7. Here’s what we’re up against: the Washington Post lies outright, describing Senator William Fulbright as “a progressive on racial issues.” Fulbright was a full-bore segregationist, voting against the 1957, 1960, 1964, and 1965 civil rights bills.
Now....don't get blood all over that nice outfit!
