Whoopie's Grandmother was there......she knew everything about racism in the South. Problem is Whoopie believes a warp version of history.
She may be attaching blame on the GOP when they barely existed in the South of Whoopie's Grandmother.
You should sue your high school history teacher, he screwed you big time.
Today's GOP existed in the 1960's... They were called the Southern Dems.
Lincoln was a progressive.
No they weren't. You're lying. Democrats gave Republican President Eisenhower's efforts in Little Rock and Washington for the advancement of blacks the cold shoulder and extremely few votes. When Lyndon Baines Johnson came along, Kennedy was doing the same thing. He told the Kennedys that blacks were a large segment of the population in voters, go for it.
They did.
They promised blacks power, prestige, free money, free housing, no questions asked, big name lawyers pro bono,
ad nauseum.
The wining and dining worked. When Republicans noticed black children were falling even further behind in their education, we fought Democrats tooth and nail for better and equal schools. It wasn't easy, but we got it through.
At some point, Democrats decided to rewrite history and recruit believers by the brainwashers Democrats inserted into political departments in universities.
We're still the antislavery party because we believe people are equal. Democrats have made our insistence on equal opportunities in the workplace out to be racism, promising more welfare, more food stamps, more everything in place of doing what it really takes to go for equality--and that is competition.
Looking at the sport world, I know blacks can go toe to toe with persons of other ethnic backgrounds.
I believe that if you teach them they are equal and can do what others do, they could indeed become international award-winning physicists, writers, poets, intellectuals.
Keep giving them boosts, blacks will not think they can make it in a white world without the freebies.
I think they can make it in this world by the sweat of their brow, their intelligence and imagination, and their ability to love the prize of winning when they have to fight it out to become the best human beings they can be.
Democrats damn us for so thinking. Why do Democrats think they have to perpetually help people with as much talent as blacks have?
Why this emphasis on rewritten history.
Calumny is not fair play. Democrats get what they want effortlessly with it.
Not everyone signs on to the lying and bullshit.
If I were black, I'd be pissed at Democrats using the Pavlovian response of animals to give assistance rather than instilling courage in blacks. It takes courage to do the right thing, courage to pull yourself up in the face of adversity, courage to win, and courage to keep your winnings. I'd be mad at whoever was holding me back from coming into my own the tried-and-true hard way of developing what Democrats hate and Republicans love--rugged individualism.
