The dems often does stuff that leaves me speechless and this is just one of many examples.

It is the democrats who enslaved the black man all those years who fought a costly war to keep that right and it was the democrats who did all they could to keep the black man down, hence the 13th 14th and 15th amendments were enacted .... which the the democrats almost to the man voted against, north and south.

I've talked about this to some left wing loons and their response was, (I find hard to follow) back then the democrats were really republicans and the republicans were actually democrats.

I'm not joking. This is their response.

And now.... they want everyone in the country to pay for the evil THEY were involved in.

The 15th amendment

Amendment XV (the Fifteenth Amendment) of the United States Constitution provides that governments in the United States may not prevent a citizen from voting based on that citizen's race[1], color, or previous condition of servitude (i.e. slavery). It was ratified on February 3, 1870.

That was enacted because the democrats tried to keep the black man from voting and when they did vote and voted republican, they would beat if not kill the black man for doing so.

Has that changed? I don't think much pi$$es off a democrat more than a black republican. Just look at the smears they have for Thomas, Rice and Powell for escaping from the plantation the democrats built for them.

Like in the days of slavery when they felt that human being were theirs to do as they wish.... to discard as they see fit, you can see that same attitude with the unborn babies of today..... to "to discard as they see fit" and to spend all that is needed to keep that right.

Un freaking believable!

When you point out that the Democratic Party’s entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.

The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are “for us”. They usually go on to an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixon’s Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwater’s principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territory’s. The Democratic Party opposed 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the United States Constitution, reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnson’s welfare state. When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesn’t seem to register either.

The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just don’t know what can be done about it. I constantly engaged in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
