One of the favorite indoor sports of liberals is to call conservatives, particularly those with the temerity to embrace the tea-party, racist. To hear media-appointed black "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie, not to mention some of the more demagogic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you'd think all white American conservatives, regardless of protestations to the contrary and spotless lives, are closet Ku-Kluxers who can barely contain their inner Bull Connor. These bigots we're told, given half a chance, would have our black brothers and sisters on the back of the bus again in a heartbeat.

OK, I get it. White conservatives and Republicans (not entirely coterminous categories) aren't really sore with O'Barnum for ballooning the national debt by $4 trillion and making national bankruptcy a real possibility, or for nationalizing one-sixth of the economy through Obamacare and generally trying to push as much as possible from the private to the public sector. It's not about setting federal agencies on a jobs-killing regulation binge, or for traveling the world apologizing for America's alleged sins and bowing before tyrants. It's not his rejection of American exceptionalism and total ignorance of the importance to world stability of a militarily strong America either.
No, no. These items are just trifles. What conservatives are really sore with our community-organizer-in-chief about is that he's not Caucasian. And isn't that just like those racist Republicans?
[Frantz] Kebreau, whose parents immigrated to America from Haiti, is having none of this. Since 2009 he's been on the news, talk shows, and speaking circuit making the point that, though few Americans know it, the record of the Republican Party for a century and a half has not only been more supportive of Black Americans than that of the Democratic Party has, but much more so.

This used to drive me crazy. I couldn’t understand how the Democratic Party would get pass and the Republicans chastised at every turn.
Finally, I figured it out. Blacks were bought off by the Democrats. Now they are so dependent on the Democrats and government they couldn’t walk away if they wanted.
The entire history of the Republican Party is one where the individual, regardless of color, is given the freedom to make their own way (or fail) in this country.
I learned that Eisenhower had tried to get civil rights act passed but was blocked by the democrats so that they could pass it when they had a president in office, take all the credit, and have black voters turn to them.
bump for later
And last week in Pomona, NY I met
I'd say black America is waking up!!
I've seen it first hand!!
Good question
That’s yours? Amen brother. My wife reads that sometimes out loud when I drive the family to the inlaws. It’s a five hour drive so it’s a great book for that. Good job.Can you get it on MP3?

It’s only on CD. All of my other books are on MP3, but the contract for this one went out back in 2003 before MP3 was big.
Bump!
It's what the Democratic Party is best at.
Yes you do. Thank you very much, Larry!
P.S. Have just delivered the next really big, important book (I hope), “A Patriot’s History of the Modern World, from America’s Ascent to the Atomic Bombs, 1898-1945.” It will appear in two volumes (this is volume one) in winter 2012. Vol two, “From the Cold War to . . . .” and we haven’t completed the subtitle yet, as we are waiting on developments, will appear in spring 2013. I’m writing this with Dave Dougherty, who was the principal editor/writer of “A Patriot’s History Reader.”
