At the nursing home I work at a young black single mom with an interest in history(talk about a rarity) was stunned when I told her the single greatest enemy to her people were and are the Democrats. I told her slavery, The Confederate States of America, The Civil War, the creation of the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws were all bought about by the Democrats. She had no idea The National Rifle Association was created by former Union soldiers to teach blacks how to use firearms to defend themselves from Klan violence. I told her this was necessary because the first gun control laws passed in America were passed by Democrats to prevent blacks from owning guns. She was equally shocked to learn Fredrick Douglas and Martin Luther King were Republicans. She didn’t own a computer but told me she and her daughter used one at the library. I told her to check out Fredrick Douglas Republicans.com She did. She thanked me profusely.
I suspect the above truth will never be included in a black studies class... Thanks for sharing.
