Frances gave me permission to post it.

The true history of the Democrats & African Americans needs to be told.

Rack it!!

Did I miss something, or did this appear in any publication somewhere?

How would the public or even Democrats even know about this letter?

[First_Salute]

Bump.

[Joe Brower]

Aye. But send them the link so they can see everyone's comments. I'm sure it will please them.

Stay safe up there in Marxachusetts! $;-)

You are in for a surprise this November! GW Bush will get 15% of the Black vote, 40% of the Jewish vote and 45% of the Hispanic vote. And.....in getting those numbers the election outcome will be: GW Bush: 57%, John Kerry: 40%, Ralph Nader: 3%! Bank on it!

"It's hilarious when I hear a black person complaining that the Democrats are taking the black vote for granted. No voting block in the history of planet earth has so consistently demonstrated the rightfulness of being taken for granted."

It's one of the greatest mysteries of the modern age. I've never understood why blacks so slavishly (sorry, but that's the most appropriate term in this instance) follow the Democratic parade, when the Democratic Party has from its very inception treated blacks as chumps.

It has been read by the author before various groups in Florida & DC. Also it was printed in a local Sarasota newspaper owned by Black Republicans.

And it has been widely distributed in emails.

I offered to post it on FR to help educate more people on the true history of the Democrats & the Black Community.

A real Black History lesson. Ya don't hear any of this during Black History 'week'.

Thanks for posting and kudos to the author for a job well done.

Unfortunately it starts off wrong. The first boatload were not slaves. They were indentured servants who worked themselves out of their servitude or died before they lasted that long. Slavery or indenture are not much different in the period of the indenture but that one ends. Slavery does not and is inherited.

Twenty dollars says that GWB gets more of the black vote than Reagan did.

You are in for a surprise this November!

I sincerely hope so.

Wonder what the Congressional Black Caucus has to say since they're just love demoncRATS? For that matter, what does ole Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan have to say since they're black American demoncRATS?

Love your optimism...I pray your predictions come true!

I'm saving your post to read on November 3, 2004.

Notice how the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" are creeping into every aspect of life - even retroactively?

[JulieRNR21]

Have already sent them a link.....BTW That's a good description of my temporary location.

I say we give em the remuneration, call it even and move on.

I can't wait to hear the reply either but I won't hold my breath. While we are anxiously waiting for the well measured response of the left, we should turn off all devices that make any noise whatsoever lest we miss the sound of the DNC's reply.
