The civil rights movement and the Republican Party

Did you know that the Republican Party was created to end slavery?

Did you know that major legal reforms and acts of legislation passed to give black Americans the vote, and full civil rights, equal to whites, were created and passed by Republican legislators?

Did you know that most of the legislators who raucously and fanatically railed against the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 were… southern DEMOCRATS, also lovingly referred to as Dixiecrats at that time?

Did you know that every black American elected to Congress immediately after the Civil War was a Republican?

Did you know that Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., was a social and political conservative who wanted Blacks to succeed fairly, based on merit and hard work?

Did you know that President Eisenhower, a Republican president, signed into law some of the 20th century's most important civil rights reforms?

Did you know that most black Americans up until the 1960s were Republicans?

What does all of this mean? Does it mean that the mainstream media are a bunch of sanctimonious, prejudicially predisposed con artists and liars perhaps? Hell yes.

Why do you suppose that Black Americans today are not usually given this information about their own history?

Why? In large part to protect a 'civil rights' establishment that is beholden to the Democratic Party and that is committed to keeping black Americans on the liberal 'plantation.'

Who is working to set these people free from insolvency and economic subjugation? It isn’t a system of quotas, it isn’t the de facto reverse discrimination proffered by extremists like the so-called reverends, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, whose power-mad extortion is dividing this nation along racial lines, and it sure as hell isn’t the Democrat party. Now, you do the math.
