Frances Rice: "This is the first time in my life that I have felt I am actually doing something about what the Democrats have done in the past and are doing now to black people," Rice said. "If the Democrats had left us alone after the Republicans freed us from slavery we wouldn't be having this discussion today. They are keeping blacks in virtual slavery."

Jackie Robbinson was also a Republican. As was Lionel Hampton who even served as a delegate in 1992.

This lady has guts. And I admit, I never knew that Martin Luther King was a registered Republican.

“The leader of the Sarasota-based National Black Republican Association...”

..sigh...

I agree with this woman, but “black Americans” need to start thinking of themselves as Americans, instead of the mindset that embraces such things as “the special needs of black Americans”.

Exactly how much has the “Party of Slavery” paid in reparations so far?

Republicans did their reparations during the War Between the States.

There are lots and lots of great Black Americans. I hope we hear more and more from them.

Rev. Perryman shares the same views as Frances Rice.

Court Decides Reparations Suit Against Democrats By Frances Rice

The U.S. District Court in Seattle, Washington issued a historic ruling in the landmark Reparations lawsuit (Case No. CV04-2442) filed against the Democratic Party by Rev. Wayne Perryman, author of the book entitled Unfounded Loyalty: An In-depth look into the Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats.

Reacting to the court’s decision, Rev. Perryman, who will be the keynote speaker at the June 11, 2005 Empowerment Award Luncheon sponsored by the SaraMana Black Republican Club at the Sarasota Hyatt at 11:30 AM, thanked his supporters and said: “This case will become a permanent part of the United States Federal Judicial archives for years to come.”

Rev. Perryman said that he filed the 180-page Reparations lawsuit for two primary reasons: (1) To obtain redress for the crimes committed against African Americans by the Democratic Party and (2) To officially file a formal case against the Democratic Party as a permanent historic record.

Many blacks voted for Eisenhower but there was a switch to the Democratic party in the sixties.

Many conservative posters here pretend not to know why this switch occured - they can continue to bury their heads in the sand or face reality.
