That is why i do talk to text. Trying to be safe while driving. Had a few chances to respond during my stops. I just wish my phone would understand me better. Lol

How sweat, just don't get yourself killed or hurt somebody else.

this tread should be The Racist History of the Republican Party

I live a dangerous life kenc. Lol ... I take these chances just to talk to you.

If you want to hear a black man's perspective of this go to YouTube and watch some of the videos by Mr. Elbert Guillory. He's a black republican from Louisiana. Watch- (Why won't President Obama help us and Why I am a Republican) This gentleman makes alot of sense to me. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. He has several videos posted.

The Democrats have created a race dependent upon them for their livelihood. The African American population has been deceived into believing the Republicans are racists. George Wallace, the man who stood in the schoolhouse door in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in an effort to express his disapproval of racial segregation was a Democrat. The vast majority of southerners who were in favor of keeping segregation were Democrats. All those KKK members were Democrats. The Democrats, by creating the dependent culture among the African Americans, keep them from being successful business people and being prosperous. African Americans have tremendous potential to change the world for the better, but are kept in a state of mediocrity which lends to poverty. If you truly give freedom to people, they have ability to be inventors, entrepreneurs, and people of authority and power over their own lives. If you keep them dependent on government, they have no means to succeed beyond the level government wants you to go.

Introduced in the House as H.R. 7152 by Emanuel Celler (D�NY) on June 20, 1963

Oh yes the republicans were all for it as long as it didn't guarantee equal access to places of public accommodations.

Your Strom Thurmond who started off as a Democrat and changed to Republican was the leader against the Civil Rights Act, so again you are welcome to him. I guess he didn't like us telling him no.

I haven't got back to the net neutrality thread yet. Sorry I am driving while working so I'm doing the best I can. I was just stating about the link that you have posted. I'm not saying that it don't align with irresponsible for you to say that the Republican Party is a bunch of racist without any It is irresponsible for you to say that the Republican Party is a bunch of racist without any proof. I know bad things will happen in the past but it's being Republicans and Democrats if you want to split hairs. I don't think racism has a party except it seems that the list benefits from it so they provoke it. If there are any spelling mistakes or anything in this post please understand I am using talk to text and don't have time to proofread Run at 70 miles per hour

and if you are going to use that argument, then the Liberal Party of today is a direct reflection of the Liberal Party back in 1964. The ones that voted against civil rights bill which was most of them.

Traveler, why should I have to rewrite or reinterpret something that clearly states the message I am trying to convey. It does not make my point less legitimate because I found a professional writer that has already written the words I would have written had I been a professional writer.

Still waiting for your explanation on the net neutrality thread, btw.

The parties were much different then.

Today Lincoln would be considered a card carrying liberal so I love that right-wingnuts embrace him now. He'd never win the republican nomination for the 2016 race. He was not crazy enough.

Lol with the links. Again point proven. Too easy.

Yes, i see that. What does it even matter. They still loose the argument. Ken and other always act as if their the smartest in the room. Its pitiful. All they do is post links of other idiots opinions, never their own. They cant stand the facts bc it dont align with their thoughts. Just lost sheep. Just a bunch of hypocritical people.

And to address your statement about the wealthy. I am glad I'm not so insecure that people with money intimidate me like they appear to intimidate you. Answer me this, can name a poor person that as ever given you a job?

Whenever the topic of racism gets brought up between Democrats and Republicans, there are two facts you'll almost always hear conservatives use to counter the belief that their party is full of racism: President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican The KKK was largely organized, and populated by, Democrats And both are facts.

But when someone uses these two items as their defense that the Republican party isn't loaded with racism, they're only showing their ignorance about the reality of racism within their party. It's true, Southern Democrats were extremely racist. At the same time, Northern "liberal" Democrats and Republicans had already been working together to end discrimination and pushed for ending segregation. See, in 1948, President Harry Truman made one of the boldest public moves by a Democrat towards Civil Rights for African Americans by creating the President's Committee on Civil Rights, and ending discrimination in the military.

At the Democratic National Convention in 1948 a call was made for civil rights�prompting at least 35 Southern delegates to walk out. These movements towards civil rights for African Americans spurred a short-lived political party � the States Rights Democratic Party, also known as the "Dixiecrats." The people who comprised this movement adamantly defended segregation of the races. It was an attempt to keep the "tyrannical Northern liberals" from "destroying the freedom of states' rights in the South." Luckily, this political party only lasted one election. But what this movement really did was recognize the shift of Democrats embracing equality for African Americans and Southern whites strongly opposing any mention of civil rights.

The moves by President Truman sparked the spread of equality in the South and left Southern white Democrats with a feeling that their party was abandoning their racist � and oppressive � system of beliefs. Over the next decade, more and more Democrats began to embrace equality, passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And while more African Americans began to vote for Democrats, in the late-1960′s a new Republican strategy was put into place�the "Southern strategy." This was a plan was that was first popularized by Richard Nixon. What the "Southern strategy" essentially does is it identified the fact that African Americans were voting for Democrats, therefore Republicans decided they would make white voters more aware of this fact in hopes of driving the "white vote" towards the Republican party. Doubt me? Let's look at a comment from a 1970′s interview in the New York Times with Richard Nixon's political strategist: "From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that�but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats." Essentially it was the Republican party saying, "Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans�the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks." With this strategy, you saw the official shift of the Republican party from the "party of Lincoln" to the party which embraced white racism towards African Americans to solidify the white vote in the South. So, yeah, it's easy to say Lincoln was a Republican and the KKK was largely built by Democrats, but by doing so you only prove your own ignorance of history. You're ignoring the fact that as Democrats evolved to embrace equality for African Americans, Southern racists were left looking for a new political party � and they found one that not only embraced their racism and bigotry, it sought it out. And that party they found was the Republican party.
