February is Black History Month, and you may be just as surprised as I was about the significant contribution the Republican Party played in African-American history.

Black History and Roe v. Wade

As “fire eaters” on both sides drove this country towards civil war, Democrats professed an apparent contradiction. They demanded protection for slavery where existing, and the right to take their “property” into the territories. They demanded the right to trade their “property” across state lines, and enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law. Yet during the last heated debates and for years prior, these same people joined the near universal condemnation of the international slave trade.

This contradiction vanishes when understanding the South was being overrun with their peculiar “property”. Senator Alfred Iverson of Georgia said before Congress, “We know well that we never can enjoy equal possession of the territories without protection of our property….. They increase, according to the last census bill, at the rate of 32% every ten years.” Meaning the South needed new slave states, and plantations to absorb the increase.

One hundred fifty years later the Black Community provides 90% voting plurality to the Democratic Party, and adopts their Pro-Choice sacrament of abortion. According to the Centers for Disease Control, black women in 2008 accounted for over 40% of abortions, though blacks constituted about 13% of total population. Applying antebellum population growth to the Roe v. Wade period would mean 68 million blacks instead of the 42 million currently living.

So what benefits accrue from a 90% voting record compared to a 3/5 compulsory enrichment of the master’s status?

Nothing wrong with the article, but at the risk of sounding like a snob, I must confess it gets a little frustrating to see people periodically announcing that they've discovered the sun rises in the east. No criticism of you intended it's just that this information has been there all our lives but the message somehow never manages to filter to the general public; you say some of these things to the average Joe and they look at you like you're telling a fairy tale.

The home of racism in America resides and has always resided in the heart of the Democrat Party. Yet, nearly every writer and every liberal takes it as dogma that Conservatives need to justify their "racist attitudes" or what have you. Of course this is nonsense but it has become so deeply ingrained in American thought that even Conservatives themselves seem to feel the need to sheepishly qualify the most inoffensive positions.
