EXCLUSIVE: New York Times Owners Descended From Slave-Holding Family, Published Pro-Lynching Articles Claiming ‘Republican Party Committed Great Public Crime’ When Giving Blacks The Right To Vote
Writing in the New York Post this weekend, columnist Michael Goodwin explained The New York Times, under the leadership of Arthur Ochs, published an editorial in 1900 saying the Democratic Party “may justly insist that the evils of negro suffrage were wantonly inflicted on them.
...
“The Political Future of the South,” lamented the “negro vote,” referring to the “horrors of negro rule,” and blasted Republicans for promoting and passing legislation that went onto become the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which states that “race, color, or previous condition of servitude” cannot be used to stop someone voting.
...
“The Republican Party committed a great public crime when it gave the right of suffrage to the blacks,” the Times roared on page six, calling “barriers against negro suffrage” a consequence of “wiser counsel.”
...
One day prior, on May 9th 1900, the paper gave fawning coverage to the former Secretary of the Navy Hillary A. Herbert, who had convened a conference titled “The Race Problem.”
Herbert, a Democrat who served under President Grover Cleveland, said at the time that the black vote had “brought weakness instead of strength,” and the New York Times cribbed his speech for the headline which blasted: “NEGRO SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.”

The summary article went on to reflect on the “advisability of lynching,” as set forth by a number of speakers at the event.
Those who might suggest the Times was simply reflecting common parlance or attitudes at the time would be mistaken. Their own Letters page gave way, one day later, to Pastor Pierce Butler Thompkins founder of the Saint James Presbyterian Church in New York, who rebuked the Times for its coverage of the event.
“[Y]ou seem to be willing to sacrifice principle for expediency,” wrote Butler Thompkins, reflecting on the nature of the paper’s coverage which sought to tacitly approve of measures by which to suppress the black vote with the hope it would help the Democratic Party.
The demoKKKrats have never forgiven us for setting their slaves free. They are determined to keep them on their demoKKKrat plantation.

Let's see if the new york slimes defunds itself.
I hope Tucker blasts them again on tonight's show.
Remember the dems are the party of the KKK and racist white supremacy. Why don’t we keep telling thhe public that it was the dems who were the KKK and white supremesists.They were the slave owners and still to this day run inner cities like plantations. Take a look at this short video which talks about the 5 points used by the dems to keep blacks on the plantations are the same points used today to keep the blacks enslaved in the inner cities run by them. It is the dems who are the party of the KKK, white supremacists and racists to this day. They are also facists by trying to keep this truth from coming out. Dinesh Dsouza video.

Unfortunately, today’s nearly illiterate masses will see the word “sufferage” and think it means “suffering” and link it to Republicans. Like the uproar over the word “niggardly”.
Love this article. This makes the NYT and pepper in the BLM movement look ridiculous.
[[Why don’t we keep telling thhe public that it was the dems who were the KKK and white supremesists.]]
Because republicans in government don’t know how to fight- they could be going on Fox weekly pointing out those facts until the left has no choice but to confront their racist roots-, but they won’t-
This does not surprise me. A great deal of New York’s wealth and success as a port came from business with Southern plantations that in turn, of course, ran on slave labour. When the Civil War began, the New York City politicians wanted to distance themselves from the pro abolitionist state government in Albany as well as the Lincoln administration.
Exactly.
It's why so many of us (all?) love Trump. He's a fighter. A very rare trait in republicans these days.
If it weren't for the 3.5 year on-going coup against him, he would have gotten even more done for our country.
Let's hope that within Trump's 1st year of his 2nd term, that the coup participants are brought to justice (high hopes, I know) and with (R) control of the house, he's able to route out enough of the swamp that when he leaves office after 8 years, our republic might still have a fighting chance!
That, sir, is a pipe dream.
The GOP is the most useless political party in human history, and House Republicans are the most useless of that lot.
There can be only one sentence for the New York Slimes...closing of the business! Bye bye old gray lady...
I think we’re done here - well, they’re done here.
You are so right. I keep posting this. I e-mail it to Hanity and Tucker and the senators.
White supremacist institutions like the KKK, the Democrat Party, and the New York Times cannot be reformed.
Let’s see if Antifa and BLM burn down the NY Times building in protest ...
And! They did not even capitalize “Negro”.
Just another foul white-man method of denigration wherever possible.
The Royal African Company
Chartered by Charles II in 1672 and headed by his brother the Duke of York for more than two decades, the Royal African Company held a monopoly on trade with Africa which included gold, silver and slaves.
From 1680-86, the company transported an average of 5,000 slaves per year, most of which were shipped to colonies in the Caribbean and Virginia.
Thousands of slaves arrived in the New World with the company’s initials branded on their chests.
Why did I think it important to post this very short history of a company that probably few have ever heard of?
New York!
Since the Virtue Signalers are demanding that everything that is offensive to blacks be torn down or renamed .. why not start with New York?
After all, New York was named after the great Trader of African Slaves, the head of The Royal African Company ... King James II, also known as the Duke of York.
