Why Do Republicans Feel Compelled To Say "We're The Party of Lincoln?"

[AzogtheDefiler]

Is it not? What if I said blacks are not minorities? LOL. Silly old man.

You'd be wrong. But the truth is that jews are not a racial minority. There are people of every race in the Jewish religion. And still the statement is not anti semitic. Once you get the nipple out your mouth and grow up, you'll understand that you don't get old by being stupid..

Anti-Semitism
The belief or behavior hostile toward Jews just because they are Jewish. It may take the form of religious teachings that proclaim the inferiority of Jews, for instance, or political eff orts to isolate, oppress, or otherwise injure them. It may also include prejudiced or stereotyped views about Jews.

Anti-Semitism

How many Jews live in the US? Old man.

Doesn't matter junior. Judaism is a religion. Ask me how many Methodists live here and I'll tell you that Methodists are not a racial minority also. Drink your formula and get burped.

Wrong. Religion and Culture. Stupid old man.

Wrong. Are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Messianic? You do understand the Muslin religion is based in same Judaism you are, so are Christians. Silly child, you have much to learn.

Yet Nazis targeted Jews. Go figure. Don’t change the subject. Jews are hated for their culture as much as their religion. Why do you hate them?

Historical fact shows that southern republicans were in the KKK, that they formed the lily white movement to deny blacks political power, supported segregation, that the first black president was a democrat and that white supremacists support the republican party now.

You really trying to erase history?


What southern Republicans?

You can't erase history. It's just that most black people fully know the history of the republican party. After all, we were republicans and something caused us to leave the party. And it was not the promise of free shit

The lily-white movement was an anti-civil-rights movement within the Republican Party in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement was a response to the political and socioeconomic gains made by African-Americans following the Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which eliminated slavery. Black leaders gained increasing influence in the party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc. Conservative white groups attempted to eliminate this influence and recover white voters who had defected to the Democratic Party.

The term lily-white movement is generally attributed to Texas Republican leader Norris Wright Cuney who used the term in an 1888 Republican convention to describe efforts by white conservatives to oust blacks from positions of Texas party leadership and incite riots to divide the party. The term came to be used nationally to describe this ongoing movement as it further developed in the early 20th century. Localized movements began immediately after the war but by the beginning of the 20th century the effort had become national.

Norris Wright Cuney

From the first days of Reconstruction, a fight developed not only in Texas but across the South between white and black factions for control of the newly formed party. As white GOP leaders sought "respectability" among Southern voters and a conviction grew that continued "black and tan" involvement thwarted expansion of the party, the lily-white Republicans began an organized effort to drive blacks from positions of party leadership. Though Texas blacks appealed to Northern party managers to halt the movement, lily-whiteism flourished because Republican presidents after 1865 wanted approval from the Southern white masses.

The term lily-white apparently originated at the 1888 Republican state convention in Fort Worth, when a group of whites attempted to expel a number of black and tan delegates. Norris Wright Cuney, the black Texas leader who controlled the state party from 1883 until his death in 1896, promptly labeled the insurgents "lily-whites," and the term was soon applied to similar groups throughout the South. Actually, an organized lily-white movement had begun in Texas during the 1870s, when the party was dominated by former governor Edmund J. Davis.

But once Cuney gained the national committeemanship in 1884 upon the death of Davis, the lily-whites started a concerted drive for mastery. Though Cuney was reappointed to the national committee at the 1892 Republican national convention, the black-white struggle in Texas resulted in a fractured party and the first GOP state convention without a black and tan delegation in attendance. The 1892 election proved a turning point for both GOP factions as Cuney aligned the black and tans behind George Clark, a conservative Democrat, in his fight with James S. Hogg, and the lily-whites nominated Andrew Jackson Houston for the governorship. Houston, son of Sam Houston and a future United States senator, received only 1,322 votes in the November election, while Cuney suffered a dual setback: not only did Clark go down in defeat, but the Democrat Grover Cleveland won the presidency, so that Cuney lost all federal patronage.

This really pisses you off that the party of Lincoln was the Republicans


The party of the KKK was the democrats .


Simple history.


.

Not really because Lincoln was a racist.

FACT CHECK: Did Abraham Lincoln Express Opposition to Racial Equality?

During the Civil War, Foner says, Lincoln’s views evolved radically as he was exposed to black people such as Frederick Douglass, who were far more talented than he had assumed, and as the efforts of freed slaves in the Union army earned them, in Lincoln’s view, the right to citizenship.

Just before his death, Lincoln gave a speech in which he mentioned the possibility of giving black Union soldiers and wealthy black elites the right to vote, in direct contradiction to his 1858 remarks.

-------------------------

The problem is today's Republicans don't evolve.

They still believe the earth is only thousands of years old and we were shimmered into being from dirt. I suspect Lincoln believed the same exact nonsense. The world has evolved since then. Republicans have actually gone backwards.

The majority of Republicans say colleges are bad for America (yes, really)

Translation~ you are a republican.

That white man did not die to set me free. We still had to fight 100 more year and still that has not been enough. It's funny how you white racists are. If I say your asses benefitted from slavery or talk of reparations, then I was never a slave. But now the white man died to set me free. We're done talking.

Why fight, just get on a plane or boat back to Africa ?? If it's so bad here, what in the heck are you waiting for ?? Oh thatst right, you don't really like what you see in your so called home country, and so you would rather stay here and whine forever ??

[Oldstyle]

During the eight years President Barack Obama was in office, black employment rose by roughly 3.2 million, or more than four times the 700,000 jobs added so far since Trump took office.

White House wrongly claims Trump created more jobs for black Americans than Obama did

If all things remain the same, at the current rate Trump will create about 400,000 fewer jobs for blacks than Obama if he serves 8 years. And Trump inherited a strong growing economy, not a depression.

Unemployment for blacks is at a 45 year low under Donald Trump. It's the lowest number they've ever had since they started keeping the statistic!

Black unemployment fell 1 point during Trump and 9 during Obama. Trump has done nothing. You've got to do better than this.

Black unemployment has fallen to historic levels under Trump DESPITE the Fed raising interest rates 5 times since Trump was elected. That's an amazing accomplishment that you economics challenged liberals don't seem to grasp! Barry only had one rate increase by the Fed from the time he was elected until when Trump was elected! That's the Fed signaling that the economy is still so weak that it can't handle even a small increase in the Fed rate.

[Oldstyle]

What you also don't want to discuss is that the gap between white unemployment and black unemployment has shrunk to it's lowest level ever under Donald Trump! That is the primary indicator that Trump wasn't simply blowing smoke when he asked black voters before the election to "give him a chance" and he'd deliver for them in ways that Obama never did!

Somehow these racist Confederates keep ignoring this fact:

They should listen to Steve Bannon and embrace their racism.

The Republican party of Lincoln is nothing like the Republican party under Trump.

A lot has changed, but we are still the Good Guys and you dems are not.

Both parties are corrupt. And the current president is not "A

Malcolm X saw the way that Democrats were going to USE the black vote way back in the 1960's! If he hadn't been killed by people who were complicit in that he would have been a voice raised loudly to point out that Democrats talk a good game but seldom follow through on their promises.

You honestly beleive that you speak better for what Malcolm X stood for and would stand for today than black American descendants of slaves Oldstyle ???

If that's the case, then you REALLY suffer from the I'm-white-and-I-say-so syndrome.

Oh, I get it...because you're a descendant of slaves you have the only word on "blackness" in America? You still haven't shown me anything that the modern Democratic Party has done to help the black community, Marc. Malcolm X understood what they were doing back in the 60's...you STILL haven't figured it out!

"You still haven't shown me anything that the modern Democratic Party has done to help the black community.."

They put a Black man in office with a Black family for starters. That makes them better than repubs off the top.

So was that "Black man in office" really a good thing for blacks? Did Barack Obama improve the lot in life of blacks? He broke a barrier. That's all he did. Donald Trump has done far more for the average black person in the US than Barry EVER did!

Not my argument, however, it has been shown in this forum before how the current president has been the beneficiary of accomplishments by the previous president that were already in place when he took office.


If there is one thing that this current administrations legacy will be highlighted by, is it's level of corruption.

 

[katsteve2012]

Whites have been literally trained to think about race for generations.


What you are doing here is not fighting against white racial arrogance but demonstrating your own.

Of course they have been trained but not with any complexity. This is why they (whites) suffer from cognitive dissonance.

How do you know? Are you white? Hoist on your own petard. Loser.

Take you for example. You prove it everyday.

I'm a fine example, thanks. And I don't support the silly claim that whites don't or can't think about race, with "complexity".

I agree. You are an excellent example of an ignorant white person. Glad you agree. I didnt ask what you supported. I pointed out that you cant think about race with any complexity due to whites having issues with insecurity and cognitive dissonance.

I have a very difficult time believing that a person who made the statement in a different thread that stated:

"Affirmative Action was created to discriminate against white people, because of past discrimination against blacks"

Has even a minimal ability to think about race with complexity.

That is one of the most ignorant statements that I have ever read in ANY forum, and the reason why I will not ever waste another word again talking to that person.

Pretty sure he is saying Lincoln was a racist republican that wanted to stick it to the inbred confederates.

The term lily-white apparently originated at the 1888 Republican state convention in Fort Worth, when a group of whites attempted to expel a number of black and tan delegates. Norris Wright Cuney, the black Texas leader who controlled the state party from 1883 until his death in 1896, promptly labeled the insurgents "lily-whites," and the term was soon applied to similar groups throughout the South. Actually, an organized lily-white movement had begun in Texas during the 1870s, when the party was dominated by former governor Edmund J. Davis.

But once Cuney gained the national committeemanship in 1884 upon the death of Davis, the lily-whites started a concerted drive for mastery. Though Cuney was reappointed to the national committee at the 1892 Republican national convention, the black-white struggle in Texas resulted in a fractured party and the first GOP state convention without a black and tan delegation in attendance. The 1892 election proved a turning point for both GOP factions as Cuney aligned the black and tans behind George Clark, a conservative Democrat, in his fight with James S. Hogg, and the lily-whites nominated Andrew Jackson Houston for the governorship. Houston, son of Sam Houston and a future United States senator, received only 1,322 votes in the November election, while Cuney suffered a dual setback: not only did Clark go down in defeat, but the Democrat Grover Cleveland won the presidency, so that Cuney lost all federal patronage.

The Black Conservative: The "lily-white" movement within the Republican party after the Civil War.

This really pisses you off that the party of Lincoln was the Republicans


The party of the KKK was the democrats .


Simple history.


.

Not really because Lincoln was a racist.

So you are saying Lincoln was a racist republican who saved the negros?


.

Pretty sure he is saying Lincoln was a racist republican that wanted to stick it to the inbred confederates. If he really wanted to save Black people he would have freed all the enslaved immediately, not just the ones in the south and he would have never tried to make slavery a permanent amendment in the constitution.

Lincoln did not "save" nor care about the welfare of any so called "negros". That is a fable that has romanticized Lincolns legacy over time.

His primary intent was to preserve the union.
