Walter Williams: Why the Founders Did Not Want a Democracy

[bodecea]

We are a Republic period. I know you democrats hate you aren't allowed to keep your slaves

The Southern slaveholders gave up on the Democratic Party in the 1860 election. Then the Southern racists gave up on the Democratic Party again 100 years later.

What an ignorant thing to show. Democrats never abandoned the democrat party to keep slavery.

Did you need another shovel?

Jefferson and his colleagues formed the Republican Party in the early 1790s. By 1795, the Federalists had become a party in name as well.

Blacks own slaves hell blacks own slaves in Africa right now. Feeling the need to self identify as black means nothing because slavery wasn't an institution started by whites.

That makes it all better for you?
