Court Decides Reparations Suit Against Democrats

>>>> The logical way to prevent that would be to pass legislation throwing out all "reparations" lawsuits. And that IMHO would be a good effect.

Maybe that was the intent? Now that the democrats are 'legally liable'...it would inspire the left agenda to throw out all reparations suits!

Me thinks the Reverend knows how to play chess!

Just speculating.

Ping to supercat's post

Interesting hypothesis. Could we be so lucky?

I oops'd, see #64. :-)

Thanks for the ping!

INTREP - demoRATS and Racism

Thanks for sharing your ideas & insights about Perryman's case.

I wanted Freepers to be aware of this suit. Perryman has written a book about the harm done to Blacks by the Democrats....'Unfounded Loyality'

Excerpt from Rev. Perryman's Website:

Truths Ignored But Now Explored

The Democrats

Our nation's top historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings, mutilations, and intimidations (of thousands of black and white Republicans). On the issue of slavery: historians say the Democrats gave their lives to expand it, the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.

The Republicans

Regarding the Republican Party, historians report that while Democrats were busy passing laws to hurt blacks, Republicans devoted their time to passing laws to help blacks. Republicans were primarily responsible for the following Civil Rights legislation:

1. The Emancipation Proclamation
2. The 13th Amendment
3. The 14th Amendment
4. The 15th Amendment
5. The Reconstruction Act of 1867
6. The Civil Rights of 1866
7. The Enforcement Act of 1870
8. The Forced Act of 1871
9. The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
10. The Civil Rights Act of 1875
11. The Freeman Bureau
12. The Civil Rights Act of 1957
13. The Civil Rights Act of 1960
14. The United State Civil Rights Commission

And gave strong bi-partisan support and sponsorship for the following
legislation

15. The Civil Rights Act of 1964
17. The Voting Rights Act of 1965
18. The 1968 Civil Rights Acts
19. The Equal Opportunity Act of 1972
20. Goals and Timetables for Affirmative Action Programs
21. Comprehensive Employment Training Act of 1973
22. Voting Rights Act of Amendment of 1982
23. Civil Rights Act of 1983
24. Federal Contract Compliance and Workforce Development Act of 1988

Programs By Republicans & their Supporters include:

a. Many of our key traditional Black Colleges are named after Republicans Colleges

Political HIGHLIGHTS OF
Unfounded Loyalty
Findings Regarding Republicans & Democrats

From the Civil War To 1964

1. Both parties were inspired, by the Bible: one party believed the Bible supported their position that blacks should be free, the other believed the Bible said that blacks should be slaves (Based on the curse of Ham in Genesis 9:25-27. Note: The Muslims were the first religious group to enslave and trade Africans as slaves - 800 years before Columbus allegedly discovered America.

2. One party and their abolitionist supporters believed the Bible instructed them to lay down their lives for the slaves, the other party and their supporters believed the Bible gave them the right to take the lives of blacks if they rebelled against being slaves.

3. On the issue of slavery, one party and its supporters gave their lives to expand it (to Northern states) and the other party and their supporters gave their lives to ban it.

4. One party was heavily influenced by the Abolitionists and the radical wing of their party (Radical Republicans) and the other party was influenced by the Ku Klux Klan and other terrorist groups.

5. One party and its supporters started the Freedman's Bureau and other programs to help build communities for blacks, the other party and their supporters engaged in practices to hinder those efforts and to destroy those communities (Wilmington, North Carolina).
6. One party and its supporters established quality schools and colleges for blacks, the other party and their supporters engaged in practices that attempted to close some of those schools or diminish their quality.

7. One party passed laws and Constitutional Amendments (13th , 14th , 15th) to include blacks as part of mainstream society, the other party passed laws to exclude them from the mainstream (Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes). One set of laws that were designed to help blacks, the other set of laws designed to
hurt or hinder blacks.

8. The members of one party gave black voters protection, members of the other party murdered, tortured and intimidated black voters.
9. By 1900, as the lynchings of blacks increased (by the members of Democratic Party and their Klan supporters) the number of black politicians decreased. Up to this time (1900) all of the black elected officials in Congress were Republicans.

10. By 1933, black leaders believed Republicans took their vote for granted and elected Franklin D. Roosevelt. Not long after Roosevelt took office, he banned black newspapers from the military and refused to pass key legislation to help blacks (Civil Rights Commission and Anti-Klan laws).

11. By 1945 (under President Truman), the military was in the process of being integrated, the integration process was completed under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican President.

12. During the Eisenhower Administration other Civil Rights Laws were passed and school desegregation began (as a result of pressure from the African American community).

13. During the 1960's, the Black Church, which was the foundation of the black community, ultimately became the salvation of the Democratic Party (their only hope for the White House).

14. Under President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed. Johnson commended Senator Everett Dirksen a Republican senator from Illinois for pushing the law through. More Republicans voted for this law than Democrats. Southern Democrats voted against the law.

15. Under Republican President, Richard Nixon the 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act was passed and Affirmative Action was established with quotas, goals and timetables.

16. By the time Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 both parties were being influenced by individuals who claimed they were former racist and/or Klansmen (Senator Robert Byrd, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, and Trent Lott to name a few).

17. By 2003, the Democratic Party had elected white women and white menzas U.S. Senators (for their party), but never a black man. The Republican had elected three.

18. By 2003, the Democratic Party had never offered an apology for the horrific atrocities that they had committed against blacks over the past 150 plus years.

Summary: The past activities of both parties has a residual resounding affect on blacks today. From one group and their supporters, millions of blacks are still raduating from the schools and colleges that they established; they are still getting the benefits from the constitutional amendments and laws that they legislated; and they are still getting protection from the organizations that they founded and financed (theNAACP). From the racist efforts and practices of the other group and their supporters, blacks are still trying to heal from the wounds inflicted on them (during the past 150 years) and they are still trying to overcome the racist practices and laws that excluded them from the mainstream. Since 1863, the Republicans have sponsored, supported and passed more Civil Rights legislation favoring African Americans than the Democratic Party.

Conclusions: Today both the Republicans and the Democrats are overlooking their past. One party is overlooking the terrible acts they have committed against blacks. The other party is overlooking the terrific things they done for blacks. One party literally gave their lives to hurt blacks, the other party gave their lives to help blacks. One needs to remember its past to correct their errors, and the other needs to remember their past to continue the things they did for us.

WOW! What a list!!!

That information needs to be on every billboard in the country!

bttt

And thank you for posting it!

This does sound like a great book. I'm sending it out on email.

Bump!

Why do I have the feeling that Sheets, I mean, Deep Throat, errr, Byrd isn't feeling very well right now?

He probably feels fine.I doubt he even knows about this...but WE do! :-)

Just found this article by Rev. Perryman on his website:

Excuses, Excuses…

April 6th, 2005

During Bush’s first term he received much criticism for his position on racial preferences in hiring practices, and for calling the University of Michigan’s points program for minority students, “constitutionally flawed.” For the past 30 years Republicans have argued that our system should be color-blind and that hiring and selection should be based solely on qualifications and not on racial preference and quotas. Democrats have argued that in order to right the wrongs of the past, minorities needed something better than a color-blind system, they needed Affirmative Action. During these ongoing debates neither group could provide one example within their own political organization to prove that their hiring philosophy regarding equality actually worked.

While both groups were busy debating, George W. Bush was busy walking the walk and talking the talk. Without any fanfare, Bush quietly and meticulously practiced what he preached by appointing “qualified” African Americans, Latino’s, Asian and women to high paying, policy making positions as department heads (and/or Deputy Secretaries) of

The State Department
The Department on National Security
The Department of Labor
The Department of Justice
The Department of HUD
The Department of FCC
The Department of Education
The Office of Personnel Management (U.S. Civil Service)

As overseers of these vitally important departments, Bush’s qualified minority men and women took charge of thousands of employees and budgets that exceeded billions of dollars. From international affairs to domestic affairs, these qualified men and women were entrusted with the responsibility of making policy, while seeing to it that our country was protected and that our much needed social services were being provided.

At the same time while the DNC, RNC and the NAACP were busy debating about what they thought would work, none were duplicating what Bush had done in the way of color- blind hiring practices. Of these three organizations, not one has a diverse cabinet consisting of qualified African Americans, Latinos, Asians or women in high-paying policy-making positions, with large budgets to match (please note: I said cabinet level paid positions and not support staff). It seems as if the only one who had a system to locate qualified minority and women to head up major departments, was President Bush. While Bush was busy making a difference these other organizations were busy making excuses.

The DNC used the Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Ms Donna Brazile, and Carol Moseley-Braun to promote their party, but did not offer them the position to head up the DNC. The Republicans used JC Watts, Michael Steele and Michael Williams to promote their party but did not offer their top RNC position to an African American. And when was the last time you saw a white person or an Asian person head up the NAACP?

The party that promotes Affirmative Action and feels that they have the only answer to achieve equality, is the same party that passed over qualified African Americans and other minorities and chose a white man to head up the DNC (Dr. Dean). The other party that claims we should be color-blind and that decisions should be based solely on qualifications, apparently felt that there were no qualified black Republicans and they too chose a white man to head up their organization (Ken Mehlman). And the organization that is always ready to step to the microphone to condemn all forms of racial discrimination (NAACP), is an organization that has never had a white person run their organization since their three white founding fathers started it (not all three were men, one was a woman). President Bush had the same labor pool to draw from as did the DNC, RNC and the NAACP, so what is their excuse?

Equality has to become a reality and not just a political or social philosophy. The only way equality can be achieved is by simply doing what George W. Bush did, and that is to look pass the cover and see the content. If this happens, you will see corporate officers, board of directors and political organizations filled with Whites, African Americans, Asian, Latinos and women in high paying policy making positions, with adequate budgets and authority to carry out their organization’s objectives.

President Bush should be commended for a job well done and the rest of us (from the NAACP to the DNC and RNC) should be condemned for not doing the job - they should have. If President Bush could do it, then what’s our excuse? I would like to hear them.

This should have a separate thread with a link back to this thread. It will help draw more traffic.

Yeah, he is pretty much a self absorbed clueless arrogant.

Yes, he is; not to mention pompous, verbose, and scum.

LOL! You cut right to the chase there! No play on words for you!

Love it!

You are correct....post #75 deserves a separate thread.....but it is too late on the east coast for me to do that now....I'll do it tomorrow!
