Thanks! It's my contribution to the cause.

"On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart "P.B.S." Pinchback became America's first black governor."

Who was the idiot on Sean Hannity's show the other day that said "There has never been a black Governor and never will be"?

Dems just deny history every chance they get.

[Ditto]

For 100 years, the Democrats fought to keep black children illiterate, making it a crime to teach them to read. For another 100 years, they fought to keep them in underfunded segregated schools. And for the last 40 years, they have been fighting to keep them in failing public schools.

Some things about the Democrat party never change.

There appears to be a high correlation between the political leanings of the black community and the growth of governmental welfare programs. Could the inroads Republicans have been making with the black voters be the result of welfare reform in the 90's? Recall what Senator Moynihan quipped about privatizing Social Security creating more Republicans as citizens became shareholders.

Leo Terrell said he'd contribute $10,000 to Jesse Lee Peterson's BOND organization if a black Republican Gov. is elected within 10 years...hear that Ken Blackwell? ;-)

[Bigh4u2]

Thank you.

Maybe I should e-mail Sean with the above quote.

"Leo Terrell said he'd contribute $10,000 to Jesse Lee Peterson's BOND organization if a black Republican Gov. is elected within 10 years...hear that Ken Blackwell? ;-)"

What they should have asked Terrell was out of all the Black congressmen how many were from white districts?

[pookie18]

It wouldn't win the bet :-(

[Bigh4u2]

Yeah. You're right.

Terrell would just argue that he meant in the 'next 10 years', and totally (or should I say 'conviently) forget that he said that there 'never has been a republican governor'.

He's one of those liberal 'shouters'.

You know. The type that shouts over you when you point out they are WRONG!

"Someone explain to me who that is possible? "

Part of the problem is people who confuse racism with conservatism.

There is nothing conservative about racism, yet it is not politically correct in Republican circles to point out when a remark made by another Republican is a racist remark.

The KKK was not founded by the bolsheviks in the Dimocrap party.

You are correct, it was founded 24 Dec 1865, by six Confederate veterans who met in the office of Judge Thomas M. Jones, viz.: James R. Crowe, Calvin E. Jones, John B. Kennedy, John C. Lester, Frank O. McCord, and Richard B. Reed.

Forrest never served, nor was he the leader at any time - he was elected in absentia and never served. The only 'official' proclomation he ever made was for it to disband, and even then, that was written by Capt. John W. Morton.

[small voice in the wilderness]

I blame Republicans. They allowed the lies to continue for years. They should have been outraged at the way history was being revised. And yet..

"White supremacists worked club in hand with Democrats for decades:"

Who were then replaced by union thugs.

[rcocean]

You've got to give the Dems credit. They pose as the great civil rights party while ignoring the fact that from 1866 to 1965 they were the party of segregation.

Every liberal from Wilson to Kennedy was elected with the support of white racist southerners. Kennedy was only elected because Texas and several other old confederacy states voted for him.

Somehow when the MSM tells the story the Dems suddenly become the party of civil rights.
