They found a new way of slavery and oppression in the 1960s; get blacks hooked on welfare, destroy their families and social structure along with any work/study ethic. And all that is expected in return is their vote.
Booker T. Washington would be heartbroken to see what has become of his people today.
I second that!
Back in the 1960’s the Demos were successful in explaining away their history by saying the racists left their party and became Republicans. No pushback from the the then Republicans so history was distorted for those who didn’t know better.
A critical aspect of this is that the chains which have been forged are primarily spiritual chains. When the chains were made of iron they could be removed by someone else and the Union army did that in 1865. The Democrats learned their lesson and produced legal codes to bind the negroes. And once the courts got rid of those legal chains the Democrats came up with the current form of chains, the economic and social chains, but most of all, the spiritual chains. Those are the chains which no army can rescue one from. And by keeping those chains in place they achieve the highest goal of the Democratic party, the eternal enslavement of the black race.
