After posting these (1, 2) previous essays on the Democrat Party’s racist infamy, I received several more inquiries about their subatomic contributions toward civil rights. I hope to now answer those last questions.
While Democrats have changed their tactics, cosmetics, and geography since 1792, their perpetual expectation of black inferiority (and presumed racial superiority) remains the same today as it did in 1808 and 1908. A few quick examples:
1. Democrats who insisted that blacks were too stupid to hire in 1908 now use affirmative action to compensate for that same presumed racial inferiority.
2. Hate crime legislation implies that blacks who murder blacks deserve a lesser sentence than whites who (rarely) murder blacks.
3. Democrats who think black mothers have the right to kill their unborn babies think these same parents are too stupid to manage school vouchers.
4. Democrats who support gun control presume that law-abiding blacks are too stupid, dangerous, and irresponsible to carry concealed firearms in crime-ridden cities where gang members regularly carry and use concealed firearms.
In 1808, blacks who sought freedom were beaten and murdered by Democrats, while Republicans established and operated the Underground Railroad.
In 1908, free blacks who embraced the Republican Party risked the terror and murder wrought by the KKK.
Because Republicans forced Democrats to end lynching and Jim Crow, free blacks are still demonized today in the form of Oreos, epithets, and social alienation. While this may seem like harmless fun to good ol' boy Democrats, the stigma associated with personal achievement still cripples blacks who choose failure, mediocrity, and poverty to retain their...

How do they square with Sheets Byrd being the Democrat Senator from WV?
You can’t tell this to most blacks...I know...I’ve tried to gently point some of these historical tendencies of Demoncrats. They don’t want to hear it!

Celebrating a Century and a Half of Civil Rights Achievement by the Republican Party
Republicans held our first state convention in Jackson, Michigan on July 6, 1854. That fall, the GOP swept to victory throughout the North. Other anti-slavery Members of Congress joined the party, so that less than two years later, on February 2, 1856, Republicans elected a Republican Speaker of the House. The Republican National Committee first met the next month, to coordinate opposition to the pro-slavery policies of the Democrats, also known then as "slaveocrats."
And that summer, Republicans held our first national convention. There, we nominated our first presidential candidate, the Georgia-born form California Senator John Fremont. Four years later, we won the White House for the "Great Emancipator."
As the nation sacrificed during the Civil War, Republicans planned the most significant amendments ever to our Constitution and enacted - despite fierce opposition from the Democrats - the 13th Amendment to ban slavery, the 14th Amendment to protect all Americans regardless of the color of their skin, and the 15th Amendment to extend voting rights to African-Americans. The Republicans' 1875 Civil Rights Act guaranteed equal access to public accommodations without regard to race. Struck down by the Supreme Court in 1883, this law would be reborn as the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
"Every man that wanted the privilege of whipping another man to make him work for nothing, and pay him with lashes on his naked back, was a Democrat. Every man that raised bloodhounds to pursue human beings was a Democrat. Every man that cursed Abraham Lincoln because he issued the Emancipation Proclamation was a Democrat." - Robert Ingersoll, 1876.
For its first 80 years, the Republican Party was the only one to provide a home for Afican-Americans. Until well into the 20th century, every African-American Member of Congress was a Republican. The same was true for nearly all state legislators and other elected officials.
Emancipating Slaves
"It was the Christian Church more than any other agency that was responsible for the emancipation of the slaves," said Dr. Maier. He cited William Wilberforce, an evangelical Christian and member of the British Parliament in the early 19th century, who dedicated his life to abolishing the slave trade.
Likewise, in America it was Christians who agitated for an end to slavery. The Underground Railroad was run by Quakers and other devout Christians. In 1835, two-thirds of the members of the abolition society were ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"If you pick up credible history, youll find that some of the little small denominations today played great roles in fighting against slavery," said Dr. E.V. Hill, pastor of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles. "If Jesus had not come, the slaveand people who were in slaveryand my fore-parents would not have heard the good news of freedom."
Democrats are like Dubai Muslims. They are now too busy enjoying the pork to be concerned with “principle”. Robert Byrd was bought off with bridges and indoor plumbing. He’s still as big a slobbering bigot as ever, but doesn’t bother to use the card because he doesn’t need it to get elected anymore. Money does the trick.
Guns and hate aren’t that important when someone will build you amenities and a nice toll bridge to keep out the riff raff. Like I wrote, Dubai.
The lesson? If you act crazy enough to protect your interests, someone will either kill you or throw money at you to stop.
I think you are right!
Thanks for those!
