Dixie Ping!
Yeah, I sure see alot of sh-t kickers flying confederate battle flags in Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris, Warren, Sussex, and Monmouth Counties here in New Jersey (all of which voted for Bush in 2004). You could make an argument about Cape May County, which is south of the Mason-Dixon line, but so is Cumberland, which voted for Kerry, and had legally segregated schools into the 1950s.
Because we know that the most pressing problem affecting the black community is guys displaying Confederate flags.
That inner-city murder rate? It just PALES in comparison to that supremely important Confederate flag issue.
Red state/slavery == blue state/abortion.
(What an idiot.)
What a pant-load. Lincoln was a Republican. Byrd was a KKK Democrat. Jim-Crow? Democrats. Come on people. Can’t we just hire Mark Levin to go around and verbally vaporize these twits?
The author failed to note (as did his Harvard-educated ‘sharp brother’, apparently) that those red states of the Old South were (D) from the Civil War up until ~20 years ago...
The democrat party has been enslaving blacks since the 1820s. It has ALWAYS been the party of slavery, depending on “black field hands” (like Sharpton, Jesses Jackson and the despicable author of this nonsense) to keep the chattel in line.
In contrast the Republican Party, and its principles, have always been there to liberate not only blacks, but all Americans.
Oops, rambled a little there. Just the way that article read to me. On the other hand, I did learn that Congressman Artur Davis actually has a brain and some sense.
He must be a lonely man in the Congressional Black Caucus.
The reason Northern and Midwestern states eschewed slavery of blacks was that it didn’t work in their farm & factory economies. Had it been advantageous to them, they would have had as many slaves as the South.
This is a hit piece since there was originally slavery in the north as well.
WHY DO BLACK AMERICANS VOTE DEMOCRAT BY 90% EVERY ELECTION? I grew up in the South (Texas) home of Lyndon Baines Johnson. It was the Blue Dog Democrats who kept Segregation alive in the South and fought against Civil Rights. My home county, in Texas, was 80% Democrats who used the “N” word as normal as breathing. It was totally segregated.
It was Republicans, the Party of Lincoln, who worked for Civil Rights for the American Blacks in the 40s, 50s and early 60s. LBJ just gets the credit for getting it passed. How? He collared the Democrat Senators & Congressmen and told them they had to pass it to keep the “nigra” vote. They were dragged, kicking and screaming, into session to vote for it.
As the old Campmeeting Song goes: “I was there when it happened and I guess I oughta know.”
The writer didn’t have the guts to sign his slander.
He must be using Louie Farrakhan math - - that's a landslide in my book.
The author is a prime example of what happens when affirmative action meets communism in the higher education system.
If you go back to colonial times, you find that the original “red states” were those who believed in state’s rights, state nullification and that states could cecede from the union. The Civil War was as much about that as slavery. Jefferson, Madison and others debated the two views. The Civil War settled the issue by declaring that the union could not be dissolved ans was not so much a confederacy as a dual system of government.
plenty of freepers no different.....they loathe us and what we stand for and feel superior and ask us to denigrate our ancestors
they can go to hell..........or to that gay forum wideawakes where they belong
I believe that, at one pooint at least, NY, MA, CT, NJ and many others were slave states as well.
