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
b. The Freedman Bureau
c. Historians say that three whites that opposed the Democrat's racist practices, including the lynching of blacks, founded and funded the NAACP

Author's Accountability Proposal

To assure that the black vote is not ignored. The author proposes that every candidate that receives the black vote, must be required to devote two weeks each year doing (physical) community service in the inner city i.e. painting, landscaping, remodeling etc. He further proposes that each of these candidates must submit on a quarterly basis, a report that specifically states what they have done or attempted to do for African Americans during that period. These reports should be printed in community newspapers. The author believes this is the only way to assure accountability.


The War on Rights Continued

On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended but not the war between the Democrats and Republicans regarding the rights of African Americans. This war continued up through 1960. Over the years, several thousand Black and White Republicans were beaten, lynched - shot and burned to death by the Democrats and their Klan supporters, in an effort to keep them from voting and educating blacks citizens.

After 1877, when Abolitionist activities decreased, Republicans became more concerned with staying alive and staying in office than staying true to their commitment to defend the rights of African Americans. Their previous work on behalf of African Americans was significant and impressive.

It wasn't until 1960 under President Eisenhower did Republicans as a party, realized that their work was incomplete and felt a need to resume their efforts on behalf of African Americans. There was Republican support for every major Civil Rights Bill introduced from from 1960 to 1988. There was not only support, many of the bills were introduced and sponsored by Republicans. Most noteworthy was Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois.

white-supremacist Ku Klux Klan as the ``terrorist arm of the Democratic Party''

Hooo man!!! Talk about an all guns blazing broadside. That's enough to send the DemocRATS running for cover big time.

Boy, does that ever bear repeating...KKK = DemocRAT Terrorists

Let that be repeated enough during this election and the DemocRATS will be in perpetual panic mode. Without the 90% of the black vote they had in 2000, my prediction of a clean electoral sweep may just be possible.

Thanks for the ping. It isn't every day a year old thread comes back up as relevant.

Mr. Perryman was pretty impressive when I saw him last year. I can only imagine that an extra year in the public eye has made him even more so.
