Why is it that so many people view the Republican party, and conservatives as raceist? If it weren't for the Republican party the civil rights movement would never have even started. Ulysses S. Grant was preaching about social and racial equality, way before John F. Kennedy was even born. Without furthure Lets take a look at the evidence.
In his 1st Inaugural Address Grant said, "The question of suffarage is one which is likely to agitate the public so long as a portion of the citizens are excluded from it's privledges in any state. It seems to me very desirable that this question should be settled now...by the ratification of the 15th article of amendment to the constitution." Democrats, and the Southern people were so angry towards the preaching of racial equality that Grant spoke of, they often referred to him as a "radical right wing Republican".
It was also during Grant's Presidency that the rise of the white supremecist terrorist organizion The Klu Klux Klan came along. Grant sent troops into the South to protect the 4 million former slaves, and other people of color.
In 1876 widespread voter fraud lead to the set up of a electorial commision, which lead to Rutherford B. Hayes' posisition of Presidency because of the Comprimise Of 1877. Because of this comprimise many people were denied their rights to have their votes count, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected by the commision only because he agreed to the comprimise with Democrats. This comprimise meant that the troops sent to protect African Americans in the South be pulled out, and colored people would be left to defend themselves against the racist terrorist organization of the KKK.
The comprimise also gave Democrats a strong hold on the south, leaving old Republican promises of civil rights in the dust. This strong hold also resulted in the denying African Americans the right to vote, despite the 15th Amendment, for nearly a century.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson, was a known white supremecist. He once kicked a group of African Americans out of the white house for their beliefs in civil rights. His pick of his cabinet, was of course, all white. Wilson is known for his attempt to disable the civil rights movement.
One modern example of Democrats denial of civil rights, is Senator Robert Byrd. Byrd is a former Klan leader, and one of Bill Clinton's greatest political allies.
So why is it that Republicans sit around and let liberals lie about our record on race, when history is clearly on our side of the race issue? It's time to set the record straight about the begining of the civil rights movement. It's also time to stop the liberal lies. Alan Keyes confronts these liberal lies, why won't the NAACP?
...Somebody please show this to the NAACP....
the left controls the schools, the media and the books no wonder the truth gets buried.
Your missing the point, im not "refighting the civil war" at all. Im confronting popular lies that the Democrats throw out to get votes.
Pump ya brakes, man. I replied to Redbob, not you.
Thats equally as wrong as ANYBODY who was against the civil rights laws. I was pointing out how stupid it is for the NAACP to compare Republicans to the Taliban, and to call us racist.
And we know that the States had a wonderful record in that regard, right?
But it was constitutional to use States rights to make sure that boots were always kept on my fathers necks.
Were do you get your history from? The DNC!
Grant was from the north. Lived in IL.& WI. His wife was from the south and grew up in a slave owning family.
One of the things she couldn’t get over when she first came with him to live up north.
Was how it took less Blacks to do work up here.

No, I was saying that it was wrong for anybody to be against the civil rights legislation.
The whole point of this post however, is that I am EXTREMLEY SICK of the NAACP calling the republican party racest, and making those extreme gerneralizations when they are not true. The fact of the matter is, that most blacks vote democrat primarley because they have heard these lies.
