Are you on the right going to continue to lie about why black voters vote the way they do?
If you do in light of these cold hard court 9sic0 doicumented facts then you ARE racists.
It was 1967 when I was first eligible to vote, Truthmatters. I simply couldn't join the Democrat Party that many of my friends and relatives belonged to because of the way the party treated black people, so I registered as an independent. When I married, I registered in my husband's Republican party so as not to cancel his vote. I was proud of the Party's views on accepting black people, their views, and its insistence on a limited role of government in people's lives.
Sometimes things don't always go your way, though. Republicans also believed in the principle of letting the best-prepared person receive the job that was offered, and it opposed quotas. That led to a lot of anger levelled against this fair practice by people with the most to gain from unfairly giving a job to a minority person just because.
Nowadays, I think unfairness is demanded in favor of almost all minority groups.
We are taking a black eye, but the Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, have had it right all along: we can't afford every plum for every person on a governmental level.
Congress gets elected on how many people it can get to vote on any given issue, and many unfair things are said that are simply not true.
This particular thread is one of them. It is making the false claim that Republicans are racists, when in fact, the Republicans saw to it black people got freed in the 1860s. Republicans pushed for 40 acres and a mule. Republicans pushed for black civil liberties and the black vote.
For a hundred years, Republicans stood behind black people before the Democrats even turned their heads to accept black people for the dynamic powerhouses of strength and intelligence that they are.
Sorry, the Republicans have never wavered from this support, and we never will. Also, we won't waver from justice, either. What's right is right!
