Damn those republicans, the evil, hate speech, segregation, theft, opression, intimidation, and the on-going culture of corruption must be halted in it's tracks!

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for something like this for months.

February 22, 1856 First national meeting of the Republican Party, in Pittsburgh...

...and sadly I think that's the last time they've been seen around here.

This is something every Black American should see.

This sounds like a description of someone I used to know really well (married my college roommate) who is now retired from UPI. At least it sounds like him after he's had too much to drink.

It started with Herbert Hoover wooing white Southerners in 1928 to capitalize on anti-Catholic bigotry against Democrat nominee Al Smith. And then The New Deal, intended to cope with an economic emergency of historic proportions but kept in place after the Great Depression ended, won over a number of African-American voters. In 1960, JFK met with Martin Luther King when the latter was arrested while Richard Nixon avoided the issue. Then in 1964, Barry Goldwater was misconstrued as being sympathetic towards white supremacists. In 1980, Ronald Reagan was also mistaken as being sympathizing with racial bigotry The Democrats skillfully played that false impression, helped by The Lamestream Media. And there you have it.

The empty promises of Johnson's Great Society....something for nothing.

"Now will someone tell me why the democrats get the african american vote?"

Because propaganda ministers such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are good at what they do, which is exploiting cultural identity to politically brainwash a lot of people.

Great Post!!

I've passed this on to my daughter, nieces, and nephews.

As a black lady, I don't hyphenate myself. I'm an American conservative and proud of it.
