As a guest on Bill Bloviating O'Reilly put it this evening, Blacks have alot to be proud of in regard to holding this nation to equality.
I totally agree with that sentiment as it is the spirit of America, to hold our country to it's foundation of equality and justice.
And Blacks have also fought in every war to defend this country. Absolutely.

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to how successful the blacks would have been during the civil war WITHOUT their white northerner ambudsmen. I do not seek to state that whites held the high moral ground at all times. That would be preposterous. It is also preposterous to state that blacks held this nation to equality. They raised the issue and many came running to support them. Those people were NOT black, and without them blacks would have not succeeded in their goal.

And blacks did not do this alone, so please quit with the historical rewrite. You know as well as I do that many well-known whites went into the south to support racial equality. This was NOT solely a black effort. Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy... these are a couple of names of people who supported blacks in their quest to gain equality. Many celebrities did as well. Perhaps you've heard of the Underground Railroad. Did you think that effort was solely black driven?

Will, I didn't deny that blacks contributed to many of our war efforts, so thanks for pointing out the obvious.
The Civil War was not a black driven effort. It was a white northerner and southerner enterprise. Yes, blacks did join up, but once again it would have been impossible for blacks to carry on the effort against the south without the white northerners. It was hard enough as it was with the full force of the north brought to bear.
Please point out the black signators to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And please understand how successful blacks would have been without these documents.
