NAACP ENDORSES SAME SEX MARRIAGE! Mitt Might Just As Well Quit!

[A Romney Relative]

Perhaps the NAACP's most monumental position ever.

Easily trumps black churches' and preachers' ignorant support of and
enslavement under a white man's religion and it's centuries-old
hypocrisy and unyielding position on a fictive god's supposed orders
regarding human lives and dreams.

Can't help but strengthen Obama's reelection chances against a slowly
sinking and grasping mud-slinging Mitt.

"NAACP endorses same-sex marriage"

By Peter Wallsten
May 19, 2012

The NAACP’s board of directors voted Saturday to endorse same-sex
marriage rights – adding the influential voice of the country’s
leading black civil rights organization to a debate that has divided
the African-American community.

The decision has political implications for President Obama, who needs
an enthusiastic turnout from black voters to help him win reelection
in November but angered some African-American church pastors with his
announcement this month that he believes gays and lesbians should have
the right to marry.

The NAACP now presents itself as a counterbalance to the influence of
the traditionally socially conservative black church. It can also help
establish closer ties between blacks and gays, two of Obama’s most
loyal constituencies.

Some pro-Republican conservative evangelical activists have said
Obama’s announcement gives them an unusual opportunity to deflate
enthusiasm among black voters for reelecting the country’s first black
president, who tends to win more than 90 percent support in that
community.

“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” NAACP
president Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement released Saturday.
“The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the
Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal
protection of all people. The well-funded right wing organizations who
are attempting to split our communities are no friend to civil rights,
and they will not succeed.”

Wednesday, making him the latest — and most prominent — U.S.
politician to call for gay nuptials. Here are a few other prominent
political figures who have supported gay marriage.

The Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay rights group, issued a
jubilant statement following the NAACP announcement. “We could not be
more pleased with the NAACP’s history-making vote today – which is yet
another example of the traction marriage equality continues to gain in
every community,” said HRC president Joe Solmonese. “It’s time the
shameful myth that the African-American community is somehow out of
lockstep with the rest of the country on marriage equality is retired
-- once and for all. The facts and clear momentum toward marriage
speak for themselves.”

Surveys show blacks remain generally uncomfortable with same-sex
marriage. A Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll in November
found that 58 percent of African Americans called same-sex marriage
“unacceptable,” while 35 percent said it was “acceptable” in terms of
their own values and morals.

More than half of all African Americans in a new Post-ABC News poll
backed the president’s statement in support of marriage, suggesting
there may be an opening to for Obama to help push support for gay
rights among black Americans.

The resolution approved Saturday states: “The NAACP Constitution
affirmatively states our objective to ensure the ‘political,
education, social and economic equality’ of all people. Therefore, the
NAACP has opposed and will continue to oppose any national, state,
local policy or legislative initiative that seeks to codify
discrimination or hatred into the law or to remove the Constitutional
rights of LGBT citizens. We support marriage equality consistent with
equal protection under the law provided under the Fourteenth Amendment
of the United States Constitution. Further, we strongly affirm the
religious freedoms of all people as protected by the First
Amendment."

I can't abide my father's stance on same sex marriage, or his Mormon-

I will support our president for reelection, regardless of whether my
parents write me out of their will, as they say they'll do.

Of course that same white man's religion freed them from slavery
and a very short life span in their native country, where most
arguments were settled by burning villages down, rape, and night
assault by machete.

However, in the interest of good faith, I propose Mitt Romney
make the NAACP a standing offer:

The United States of America, will pay for a one-way 1st class
ticket on any commercial airline of their choosing, for any
"African American" who wishes to return to their "home land."
Since it is obvious that America is repressive to the black
race, it is only appropriate that we offer them the opportunity
to repatriate themselves to Africa, where they will be well
received and treated accordingly by their fellow Africans.

"Obama leads on marriage equality, the NAACP and others follow"

Op-Ed
By Jonathan Capehart
May 20, 2012


WHEN LEADERS LEAD, especially on difficult social issues that demand
the end of an injustice or the expansion of liberty, people will
follow. The announcement Saturday that the NAACP passed a resolution
supporting marriage equality is the most important sign yet that
President Obama’s public support of it had the power to change hearts
and minds.

The NAACP is the nation’s leading civil rights organizations. Its role
in fighting for and securing changes in laws and customs that gave
African Americans a more equal shot at achieving the American dream is
well-established. But while individual leaders have spoken out in
favor of allowing gays to wed, most notably chairman emeritus Julian
Bond, the organization hadn’t spoken with one voice — until now.

And as remarkable as the resolution is, what’s equally noteworthy is
the vote. Of the 64 members of the board, only two voted against it.
According to the New York Times, Bond said that Obama’s May 9
announcement “was ‘a tipping point’ for many of the board members.”
Turns out it was a tipping point for many African Americans, as well.

Rev. Jesse Jackson touted his newfound support for same-sex marriage
to culture writer Toure’. House Assistant Democratic Leader Rep. James
Clyburn (D-S.C.) did the same with NBC’s Chuck Todd. A Post-ABC News
poll released last week showed that 54 percent of blacks supported the
president’s position on same-sex marriage.

Even my own mother, a staunch Obama supporter and a born-again
Christian who has a conservative view of marriage, was moved by
Obama’s words. She called it “cruel” to deny same-sex couples the
rights and responsibilities that accrue to marriage. Sure, there are
African Americans who are angry with Obama for what he did. But my
mother’s reaction is one of the reasons why I was, and remain,
supremely confident that losing the black vote would be the least of
the president’s political concerns.

Politics certainly played a role in how Obama’s “evolved” thinking on
same-sex marriage was announced. But his change of heart was guided by
a concern about fairness and equity for the same-sex couples who want
to marry and for the children they are raising. His words paved the
way for the NAACP and others to follow in his footsteps, to see that
what links the traditional civil rights movement and the gay rights
movement is the shared struggle for equality, dignity and equal
protection under the law.

Why would I? I simply dont care what they like or dislike (except for
my black lady friend of course)

Having the NAACP shit in its messkit is not my problem in the
slightest..and in fact..having it shrivel up and pass away in the
dustbin of history would probably be a very good thing. Now if they
would take Sharpton and Jackson and Wright with them..it would be a very
very good thing.

You misspelled "despising". I walked with Dr. King in 1963. Democrats
killed Dr King not many years afterwards. Democrat is the party of

Me? Not a problem. I take my meds daily and keep a good supply of

Kinda like that little rat bastard Travon got defended against by that
poor bastard Zimmerman.

Oh..btw..you do know that Im not white...right?

"The NAACP returns to relevance with a vote on same-sex marriage"

Op-Ed
By Eugene Robinson
May 21, 2012



With its support for gay marriage, the NAACP has done more than strike
a blow for fairness and equality. The nation’s most venerable civil
rights organization has made itself relevant again.

The NAACP’s 64-member boardapproved a resolution Saturday supporting
“marriage equality” not as a matter of empathy or compassion but as a
right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. In citing this rationale, the
103-year-old organization founded by W.E.B. Du Bois firmly linked the
campaign for gay rights to the epic African American struggle for
freedom and justice.

The 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868, overturned the atrocious Dred
Scott ruling and guaranteed full citizenship rights to black Americans
in the wake of the Civil War. The amendment’s language mandating equal
protection under the law provided the basis for the Supreme Court’s
1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling that ended segregation in
public schools.

“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” NAACP
President Benjamin Jealous said in a statement. That’s about as clear
as you can get.

Those tempted to see the NAACP’s stance as purely symbolic haven’t
read the fine print. The resolution commits the organization to

“oppose any national, state, local policy or legislative initiative
that seeks to codify discrimination or hatred into the law or to

remove the constitutional rights of LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual or
transgender] citizens.”

This goes well beyond President Obama’s recent announcement that,
while he now supports marriage rights for gay men and lesbians, he
believes the granting or withholding of those rights should be left up
to the states. Perhaps the evolution of the president’s view will
continue.

I can’t think of anyone more likely to be disheartened by the NAACP’s
bold move than the Republican strategists who thought they had found
an issue that could weaken Obama’s solid and enthusiastic African
American political support.

Polls have shown that black Democrats are less supportive of gay
marriage than white Democrats are. With some black clergy taking an
active role in the fight against marriage equality — and, from the
pulpit, urging their parishioners to do the same — it looked as if
Obama might be out of step with what is perhaps his most loyal
constituency.

But the NAACP board, which has struggled with the issue over the
years, approved the resolution supporting marriage equality by what
was reported to be a nearly unanimous vote. Gay marriage is also
supported by such lions of the civil rights movement as the Rev. Jesse
Jackson, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), and former NAACP chairman Julian
Bond — all of whom draw a direct line between the battle waged by
black Americans in the 1960s and the battle being waged by gay
Americans today.

It is possible to make this linkage while at the same time
acknowledging that no two liberation struggles are exactly the same.
Important distinctions — for example, the fact that only black people
were enslaved — should not obscure the principle that equal protection
under the law means just that.

Lewis, who still bears the scars he received while marching from Selma
to Montgomery, once wrote: “I’ve heard the reasons for opposing civil
marriage for same-sex couples. Cut through the distractions, and they
stink of the same fear, hatred and intolerance I have known in racism
and bigotry.”

In his statement, Jealous emphasized that the NAACP is talking about
civil marriage, not religious marriage. The group affirmed its
recognition of “the religious freedoms of all people as protected by
the First Amendment.” No church should be forced to perform a same-sex
marriage. But the local justice of the peace should have to view a gay
couple as being no different from a heterosexual couple.

The biggest immediate impact of the NAACP’s move is to return a once-
indispensable organization to center stage. The NAACP was the flagship
of the civil rights movement, but in recent years — recent decades, to
be honest — it seemed to lose its way. The group continued to do good
work, but to the extent that it sought to identify some sort of
umbrella “black agenda,” it failed as black America became
increasingly diverse.

Now, under Jealous, the NAACP has waded into the civil rights battle
of today — and, in the process, reclaimed some of the organization’s
old prominence. I can’t remember the last time an NAACP resolution
garnered so much attention around the nation and the world. I can’t
wait for the next one.

Prominence?

They grabbed a few headlines..and pissed off an entire group of their
one time supporters. But they have little relevence or "prominence"
anymore.

They ate their young over the last 40 yrs..and have largely written
themselves into the dustbin of "once greats"

So you must have cared what colored people liked and disliked back
then (including your colored lady friend). Why do you not now care
what an entire race likes and dislikes? Isn't that sort of selectivity
the very definition of racism?

>Democrats killed Dr King not many years afterwards.

I think you are mistaken. It was a couple of democratic presidents who
pushed through the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

This is when the racists abandoned the Democratic Party. The South
went solid Republican in the 64 presidential election. Strom Thurmond
became republican and so too Jesse Helms. Wallace became American
Independent. Your KKK friends (you both agree about Travon, don't
you?) certainly didn't vote democrat.

Your hatred is blinding you to the reality of history. Or you don't
care.

Nonsense.

POLL: African American Support For Marriage Equality Is Higher Than
General Population


-- A new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds support
for marriage equality remaining consistent at 53 percent,
with a growing number of African Americans backing the freedom
to marry.

59% of black respondents said they want to legalize
same-sex marriage and 65 percent favor President Obama's
position on the issue.

[John Manning]

I'm betting he's a radical racist fringe gun nut.


Message to Gun Nut World

Trust Me: You Believe in Gun Control


-- If you ask the typical hyper-political gun owner
(and I have … at Thanksgiving dinner), why it’s important
to own a gun, they’ll bark about the Constitution. Yes, the
Second Amendment: "The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms
Shall Not Be Infringed!"

This of course is the slogan the National Rifle Association adopted
in the 1970's.

It was then that owning a gun became an absolute right
endowed by God and the Constitution. A blessing passed down
by our forefathers to obliterate game and protect our property.

The NRA was founded in 1870 and for its first hundred years
it was for gun control and didn't mention the Second Amendment
as their cause.

Adam Winkler points out in his delicious book, "Gun Fight,"
what we call the "wild west" had some of the strictest gun control
laws we"ve seen as a nation.

The shoot out at the OK Corral took place, after all,
because Wyatt Earp was trying to disarm the outlaw Cowboys
in accordance with a Tombstone ordinance.

The KKK was among other things, a gun control organization.
They were trying to keep guns out of the hands of newly freed
slaves ... but still gun control.

The part of the Second Amendment omitted from the NRA's slogan is:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
free State..."

Yes, *WELL REGULATED* — it's in the Constitution!

Now, to some, guns are as sacred as scripture. If you ask,
again, this typical hyper-political gun owner why they need
to stockpile assault rifles, you will get an answer much like
Pat Flynn's, a recent candidate for a Senate seat in Nebraska.
"Really, we have our guns to protect ourselves against the
government, number one," Flynn said in a debate right before
the primary. "Hunting's number two. But protecting us against
our government is number one."

Remember Flynn was trying to land a job in the government
(he didn't win his party's nomination, by the way).

The idea is that we have to be just as armed as our government
in order to be safer or have more liberty (or something).

The U.S. government has unmanned drones armed with supersonic
laser-guided anti-armor Hellfire missiles, "bunker busters,"
and nuclear weapons.

Are far-right politicians saying we need civilians
to have shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles "for protection?"
Of course they’re not. They actually do want limits on ownership.

And if you ask the most vehement gun rights advocate why
Everyman Gun Owner shouldn't have nuclear weapons, I'd bet you'd
get the same answer as to why we don’t want every country to have
the capability: "Because they could get into the wrong hands."

So weapons-grade plutonium should be limited. But the
ever-handy semi-auto Glock pistol with a 30-round high-
capacity magazine is an absolute right?

A recent gun buyback drive in Los Angeles resulted in someone
turning in a rocket launcher. Comforting.

So we're not actually talking about limited vs. unlimited.
We are talking about degrees of weapon ownership.

Guns fall into the wrong hands all the time. More guns
and fewer requirements for ownership doesn't curb this.

George Zimmerman was the wrong hands. Zimmerman,
a Florida man now infamous for shooting an unarmed
black teenager at close range after a 911 operator told him
not to engage the alleged suspect and wait for police to arrive,
is now being defended by said hyper-political gun owners.

There's no reason a Neighborhood Watch captain should be
patrolling his block with a criminal record and a pistol. Zimmerman
was a catastrophe realized. Even in the wake of new evidence about
this case, the fact remains if Zimmerman didn't have a gun,
16-year-old Trayvon Martin would be alive.

The United States is number one in the world in civilian
gun ownership. And since we’re not last in gun violence (we're
the 14th highest in deaths — way higher in just injuries) it's safe
to assume that increasing the number of guns doesn't decrease
the number of gun deaths. Just like cutting taxes doesn't
increase revenue — making gun ownership unlimited doesn't make
us safer. It's a lie. A fairy tale of the gun lobby.
Completely unsupported by data or logic. A falsehood.

So unless you think all Americans should get Daisy Cutters
this Christmas — you believe in regulations as to who gets a
weapon, what kind and where they can have it.

Gun control laws are not tyranny — as the family of Trayvon Martin
can testify to — a de-regulated militia is.

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 Democrats:

Democrats fought to expand slavery while Republicans fought to end
it.
Democrats passed those discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws.

slavery.

slavery.

The Republicans:

Republicans enacted civil rights laws in the 1950�s and 1960�s, over
the objection of Democrats.
Republicans founded the HBCU�s (Historical Black College�s and
Universities) and started the NAACP to counter the racist practices of
the Democrats.
Republicans pushed through much of the ground-breaking civil rights
legislation in Congress.
Republicans fought slavery and amended the Constitution to grant
blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote.
Republicans pushed through much of the groundbreaking civil rights

(136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of
the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the
Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to
give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats
overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was
revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist
organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African
Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a
Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered
thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and
communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood,
Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North
Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such
as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the
traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed.
Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white
Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25
years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil
rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was
specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African
Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America)
has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the
Republicans have elected three.

Hey Black people, Democrats created the KKK & Slavery

The U.S. Senate voted unanimously last week to adopt a resolution
apologizing for slavery.

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, lead sponsor of the resolution, said, �You
wonder why we didn�t do it 100 years ago. It is important to have a
collective response to a collective injustice.�

Only after decades of public education ignoring and distorting U.S.
history can such a huge lie be said with a straight face.

Senator, you didn�t do it 100 years ago because 100 years ago you
Democrats were enforcing Jim Crow segregation laws, poll taxes to keep
blacks from voting, and riding around in sheets and pointy hats just in
case blacks didn�t get the message.

You say �It�s important to have a collective response� because you want
to bury the origins, purposes, and historical practices of your own
party.

The worst part is, Republicans in the Senate let you get away with it.

Principled Republicans knowing their history would have authored a
resolution reciting the facts that the Republican Party was formed,
among other reasons, to oppose slavery and that the Republican Party and
its first President Abraham Lincoln responded to Southern, Democrat-led
secession with a successful war that preserved the union and freed the
slaves.

After Lincoln�s assassination (by a Democrat), the Republican-led
Congress (over the objections of the Democratic Party minority) amended
the Constitution to confirm the liberation of the slaves (13th
Amendment: slavery abolished), and the 14th Amendment (freed slaves are
citizens equal to all citizens), and the15th Amendment (right to vote
guaranteed to freed slaves).

Southern Democrats spent the next 100 years trying to keep freed slaves
down with segregation laws, poll taxes to deny the right to vote, and
lynching to enforce the social order. The KKK was formed by a Democrat;
no Republican has ever been a member of the KKK. This is the heritage of
the Democratic Party.

In fact, the Democratic Party was formed in the first place to defend
and expand slavery.

In 1840, the very first national nominating convention of the Democratic
Party adopted a platform which read in part:

Resolved, That Congress has no power � to interfere with or control
the domestic institutions of the several states � that all efforts by
abolitionists � made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of
slavery � are calculated � to diminish the happiness of the people, and
endanger the stability and permanency of the union.

Got that, Sen. Harkin? Your party was born defending slavery as
necessary for the happiness of the people and threatening secession and
war if slavery were challenged.


The same party platform language was used in 1844, 1848, 1852 and 1856.
In 1860, the Democrat commitment to slavery took a harsher tone.

The Fugitive Slave Law was passed by Congress in 1850. This monstrous
law provided that, since slaves were the personal property of their
masters, runaway slaves must be returned to their owners. The law
required all law enforcement officers to assist in the recapture of
runaway slaves or risk a fine of $1,000 (about $100,000 in today�s
dollars)!

The Republican Party was formed in the 1850s in part as a political
reaction to this unjust law.

In their national convention of 1860, Democrats harshly responded to
certain Northern (Republican) states that were passing state laws to
evade the Fugitive Slave Law by adopting a plank in the Democratic Party
Platform which read:

Resolved, That the enactments of the State Legislatures to defeat
the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, are hostile in
character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their
effect.

Senator, your Democratic Party has much to be apologetic about on the
slavery issue.

During the civil war, the Southern Democrats led the Confederacy out of
the Union; Northern Democrats formed a separate party which opposed the
war. The 1864 (Northern) Democratic Party platform adopted a �peace�
plank which read in part:

� after four years of failure to restore the union by the experiment
of war � justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand � a
cessation of hostilities � to the end that � peace may be restored �

Here is the origin of today�s Democratic Party �Peace at any Price,
Better Red than Dead, Why Can�t we all just get Along� foreign policy.

The war was started by Democrat secessionists, and just as President
Lincoln was on the verge of victory, the Northern Democrats wanted to
save the South and slavery with �peace talks�! Voters knew better in
1864 and re-elected Lincoln.

But the Democrats weren�t through. In 1868, Sen. Harkin�s party
condemned the Republican Party in its party platform as the �Radical
Party,� and condemned Reconstruction in these unforgettable words:

Instead of restoring the Union, it (the Radical Party) has dissolved
it, and subjected ten states (the former Confederate states) � to
military despotism and negro supremacy.

And, senator, don�t tell me this is all ancient history in a lame
attempt to evade the true origins of your party.

As recently as 1964, when the Senate debated the Civil Rights Act,
Southern Democrats (including Al Gore�s father) voted no. While Northern
Democrats voted yes, their votes were not enough. The deciding votes to
pass this landmark bill were provided by Sen. Everett Dirksen, R-Ill.,
and the Republicans.

Republicans should be proud of their heritage of liberation of the
slaves and civil rights voting record.

It�s Harkin and the Democrats who should apologize and pay reparations.

The Long, Sad, Violent History of Democrats'
Racial Hatred for Blacks

Perry Drake
May 2003

It has always seemed unnatural and unwise to me whenever I hear someone
who's been slandered by a particularly egregious lie reply that they're
not going to dignify that accusation with a response.

For it has always been crystal clear to me that whenever your honor,
integrity and reputation are called into question that you should be
quick, thorough and – when circumstances demand – quite loud in defense
of them.

Otherwise, people will assume that the accusation must carry some weight
and the falsity levied against you just might end up sticking.

That's what has happened to the political party that I belong to – the
Republicans. For decades the Party of Lincoln has been under almost
constant assault for being "racist" and "openly hostile" to blacks.

However, nothing could be further from the truth – but you would never
know it by the party's spineless, practically nonexistent defense of its
record on race and civil rights.

From the days of Lincoln until the present, blacks have had no better
friend, party-wise, than the Republicans. Since its inception in the
mid-19th century, the GOP has built an exemplary record on civil rights,
particularly if you want to use the Democrat Party as a comparison.

The party's first president, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation
Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, the height of the Civil War, squelching
any chance that the European powers of the day would intervene in the
conflict in favor of the Confederacy. With the stroke of his pen,
Lincoln destroyed the last real hope the Confederacy had for a victory.

Soon after the war ended, it was a Republican-controlled Congress that
rammed through the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution
that, among other things, abolished slavery, guaranteed equal protection
and due process and addressed blacks' right to vote.

In the late 19th century, Democrat governors and Democrat-controlled
state legislatures in the South couldn't pass Jim Crow laws fast enough.
Those Democrats created a nearly century-long, legal racial caste system
that relegated blacks to the lowest educational, political, economic and
social strata. I have family members who grew up under Jim Crow. To hear
them tell it, it weren't no joke.

And let us not forget that during the same period it was Democrats
throughout the United States who organized and ran America's premier
terrorist organization – the Ku Klux Klan.

And speaking of the Klan, remember the great Democrat President Woodrow
Wilson? After a screening of D.W. Griffith's paean to the Ku Klux Klan,
"Birth of a Nation," Wilson, turned-movie critic, said of the film: "It
is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is
all so terribly true."

Needless to say, the NAACP had a different outlook. After its viewing,
the civil rights organization was mortified to the point of launching a
nationwide protest in 1915 against the film. The group was equally
appalled by President Wilson's comments and it launched a public protest
against him.

Before we move on, one more thing about President Wilson. He was the
president who led our nation into WWI with the ringing declaration that
it was to make the world "safe for democracy." In Woodrow's mind,
though, "democracy" applied to everyone except those annoying little
dark-skinned people in America who are always clamoring for civil
rights. In 1913, Wilson introduced segregation into the federal
government.

Yes, dear readers, the man who is worshipped as the utmost "progressive"
(where and by who have you heard that term used lately?) of his time
allowed federal officials to segregate "toilets, cafeterias and work"
areas of various federal departments.

It was left to Wilson's successor, Republican Warren G. Harding to scrap
the segregation policy. And Warren G. didn't stop there. In 1922,
Harding delivered a bold speech in Birmingham, Ala., (A Democrat
stronghold that was later known by blacks as "Bombingham") in which he
called for black equality. Up to then, no U.S. president had ever spoken
so forcefully about civil rights.

Harding was elected in 1920. Funny thing about the Republican Party
platform that Harding ran under. It called for federal anti-lynching
legislation. Guess which party didn't? If you said Democrat, go to the
head of the line.

Moving on, in answer to the burgeoning civil rights movement in the
'50s, it was Democrat governors and Democrat-controlled state
legislatures in the South that placed the Confederate battle flag on
their state capitol flags. It's an issue that continues to inflame
racial passions even today.

In 1957, Orval Faubus, the governor of Arkansas, called out his state's
National Guard to prevent the integration of Central High School in
Little Rock. In response, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent U.S.
troops to the city to escort nine frightened black teens into the school
past riotous mobs inflamed by Faubus' defiance of a federal court order.
Faubus was a Democrat. Eisenhower was a Republican.

On June 11, 1963, Alabama Gov. George Wallace stood in the doorway of
the University of Alabama to block its integration. Wallace was a
Democrat. Now, I grant you, John F. Kennedy was the Democrat president
who federalized the Alabama National Guard and ordered its units to the
university to force its doors open to black students. But it's not
generally known that the then-Sen. Kennedy – with an eye on the Democrat
presidential nomination for 1960 – voted against the Civil Rights Act of
1957, the law that really got the ball rolling on federal civil rights
legislation.

And it was Kennedy's brother, Robert, who in 1964 assisted the FBI's
efforts to destroy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by approving the
wiretapping of the man considered the heart and soul of the civil rights
movement.

And to think at one time you could find in black homes across the nation
what I used to call the Black Person's Trinity: chintzy, black-velvet
portraits of JFK, RFK and Dr. King painted side by side.

As far as other important civil rights legislation, the 1964 Civil
Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would never have became law
if not for Republican senators and congressmen whose overwhelming
support offset extreme Democrat opposition.

Now honesty demands that I admit that I have never been in favor of
affirmative action programs. As a black man I find them demeaning, and
as an American, divisive. But that's an argument for another day.
However, the fact remains that it was President Nixon who implemented
the first affirmative action program with the Philadelphia Plan in the
late 1960s. The plan required government contractors to set goals and
timetables for hiring minorities. Nixon was a Republican.

Sure, some will say that it's all well and good to cite the historical
record, but what about now? What have the Republicans done of late? I
begin by pointing out that Democrats continue to demonstrate a curious
affinity for standing in schoolhouse doors, especially when black
children are involved.

But of late, Democrats are not trying to keep black children out, but
in. In public opinion polls on school choice, blacks overwhelmingly
favor vouchers to rescue their children from failing schools. No one
knows better the damage that poor schools can do to their children's
future and communities than blacks. Republicans are in favor of school
choice. Democrats aren't.

Also in more contemporary times, President Bush appointed two blacks to
the highest positions in government ever occupied by blacks in America.
Today, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of State
Colin Powell are very powerful, influential members of the Bush
administration. Powell, in fact, is fourth in the succession line for
the presidency.

Oh, by the way, do you know who is third in line? Sen. Robert Byrd of
West Virginia. Old "Sheets" himself. The same Byrd of the "white
niggers" comments on March 5, 2001, and who was a member of the KKK. And
Sen. Byrd was not just any old member. No, sir. He was a "grand kleagle"
– a recruiter!

Does anyone remember the late war with Iraq? It lasted about a minute
but you may have had a chance to notice that the vice chief of
operations at Central Command was a brotha – Army Brig. Gen. Vincent
Brooks.

And let's not let the "fair and free" press off the hook. Back when Jim
Crow and segregation were "the law of the land" in the South, the press
served as cheerleaders for all those kind, compassionate Democrats as
they lovingly lynched black people by the hundreds on a yearly basis.

Small wonder that the press behaved as badly as it did, though. The
people who ran those papers, which proudly featured the brutalized and
desecrated bodies of black lynching victims on their front pages quite
frequently, were all Democrats.

Today, whenever a Republican says anything that can be twisted by
Democrats and race hustlers to smack the least bit of racism, the press
is quick to pounce on him like Jesse Jackson on a bag of stolen federal
dollars.

The hypocrisy of the press on matters of race is appalling. Just take a
walk into your average newsroom and tell me what you see? Wait, I'll
save you the trip – a sea of white faces and sprinkled here and there, a
black face or two. Or better still, tune in to any one of the numerous
weekly Sunday news shows and what you'll find is overwhelming white.

Now here's a homework assignment – what political party do you think
most of the members of the press belong to? Here's a hint – Democrat.

I need not end here. I could go on all day citing example after example
on this matter (Does the name Bull Connor ring a bell, for instance? A
Democrat. Hah!). But it would be heartening indeed if the next time
accusations of racism are hurled against them, that Republicans would
grow a spine and quickly, thoroughly and – when circumstances demand –
quite loudly defend their honor, integrity and reputation.

Are blacks taking cue on 'gay marriage' from Obama?
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 5/24/2012 10:15:00 AMBookmark and Share

surveyDoubts are being expressed about a recent poll showing increased
support for same-gender "marriage" among Americans -- particularly among
black Americans.



According to the ABC News/Washington Post poll, 53 percent of adults now
say homosexual marriage should be legal. A summary report of the poll
results [PDF] also notes that "African-Americans have moved more in
favor [of same-sex marriage], perhaps taking their lead from Barack
Obama on the issue." The poll of just more than 1,000 people was
conducted May 17-20, approximately one week after the president
announced his support for same-gender marriage.

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality admits he is
skeptical of the poll results. The problem, he tells OneNewsNow, is the
public puts too much stake in what comes out of liberal media.

"I think what we see here is [that] the media blitzkriegs the American
people with propaganda in support of homosexuality, and then a poll is
taken which shows that support is increasing for so-called gay
marriage," states LaBarbera.

Peter LaBarbera (AFTAH)"I don't know whether to believe these numbers or
not, but I think that naturally -- with incredible propaganda in support
of homosexuality and same-sex so-called marriage -- of course, we're
going to see numbers rise."

The poll suggests African-American support for homosexual marriage
jumped almost 20 points -- from 40 percent to 59 percent -- after
President Obama announced his support for same-gender marriage.
LaBarbera does not believe that figure and points to approval of North
Carolina's constitutional protection of traditional marriage.

"Even though the pro-family side [in North Carolina] was outspent
2-to-1, the marriage amendment there, which would preclude so-called
homosexual marriage, passed by 61 [percent] to 39 percent," notes the
family advocate. "If you factor in the media bias, that's probably a
vote of over 70 percent against so-called homosexual marriage."

The vote in North Carolina occurred one day before the president's
announcement -- and exit polls show a wide majority of African-Americans
voted in favor of the amendment.

More nonsense.

That's just more disinformation from OneNewsNow.com, a
propaganda arm of the notorious bigoted homophobic fringe
Christian Right group, the American Family Association (AFA).


-- OneNewsNow.com (formerly AgapePress), the AFA news division, provides
online audio newscasts and a daily digest of news articles, Associated
Press stories, and opinion columns.[17]

The AFA defines itself as "a Christian organization
promoting the Biblical ethic of decency in American society
with primary emphasis on TV and other media",[7][8] later
switching their stated emphasis to "moral issues that impact
the family".[9]

It engages in activism efforts, including boycotts,
buycotts, action alert emails, publications on the AFA's
web sites or in the AFA Journal, broadcasts on American Family
Radio, and lobbying.[10]

The organization has an annual budget of US$14 million and
owns 180 American Family Radio stations in 28 states.[11]

AFA has been criticized by a civil rights
organization for controversial stances, in particular
the "propagation of known falsehoods" and "demonizing propaganda"
about homosexuality, which in November 2010 led to its being named
a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[12][13][14]

That's was true THEN - but it's not true NOW.

After Democratic President Lyndon Johnson's desegregation
Civil Rights Laws were being enforced, the Southern Democrats
suddenly decided to become Republicans and the Republicans
soon thereafter adopted the notorious "Southern Stretegy" to
further turn those racist types into the bigoted racists they are
today.

That's why Obama and today's Democrats are overwhelmingly supported by
minorities.

REALITY: The Notorious Republican "Southern Strategy"

"You Start Out in 1954 By Saying, 'Nigger, Nigger, Nigger.'"

-- The Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party
strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting
anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among
Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal
power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under
the concept of states' rights).

Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime
Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's
defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and
segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern
Democrats stopped supporting the party following the
civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering
the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement,
the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act
of 1965, and desegregation.

The strategy was first adopted under future Republican
President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[1]
in the late 1960s.[2]

The strategy was successful in some regards.
It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states
to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than
ninety percent of black voters to the Democratic Party.

As the twentieth century came to a close, the Republican Party
began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with
little success.[2]

REALITY: The GOP Southern Strategy - by Lee Atwater

"You Start Out in 1954 By Saying, 'Nigger, Nigger, Nigger.'

As a member of the Reagan administration in 1981,
Lee Atwater gave an anonymous interview to political
scientist Alexander P. Lamis. Part of this interview
was printed in Lamis' book The Two-Party South,
then reprinted in Southern Politics in the 1990s
with Atwater's name revealed.

Bob Herbert reported on the interview in the
6 October 2005 edition of the New York Times.
Atwater talked about the GOP's Southern Strategy
and Ronald Reagan's version of it:

ATWATER: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr.
and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights
Act would have been a central part of keeping the South.

Now [the new Southern Strategy of Ronald Reagan] doesn't have to do
that. All you have to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in
place on the issues he's campaigned on since 1964 and that's fiscal
conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole
cluster.

QUESTIONER: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the
Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing
away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?

ATWATER: "You Start Out in 1954 By Saying, 'Nigger, Nigger, Nigger.'
By 1968 you can't say 'nigger' — that hurts you. Backfires. So
you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff.

"You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about
cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are
totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks
get hurt worse than whites.

"And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that.
But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that
coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or
the other.

"You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, 'We want
to cut this,' is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and
a hell of a lot more abstract than 'Nigger, nigger.'"

~~ Lee Atwater was an American political consultant
and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an advisor
of U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and
Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Sorry, dufus. The fact is that 50 years ago the racists changed sides
and became republicans. Considering this your attempts to smear
democrats is less than impressive.

"Bi-partisan support"? You mean, along with democrats? I thought you

Johnson: "No memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor

Who ran for president on the Republican ticket in 1964, Gunnybunny?
What did this presidential candidate, leader of the Republican Party
at the time, think of the Civil Rights Bill?

We're waiting.

NO, it's not. It's because they foolishly believe that the 'rats will "gimme

Yep, that's what the 'rats did.

The Democrat Party's Long and Shameful History of Bigotry and Racism

A common attack upon conservatives and republicans by the ultra left is
to engage in what has come to be known as "playing the race card" but is
more accurately described as racial McCarthyism. Hardly a day goes by
without a member of the far left wing falsely accusing conservatives of
racism, bigotry, and a wide array of similar nasty things. They are not
only dishonest, but they often border on the absurd, as in NAACP leader
and hyper bigot Julian Bond's recent implication to his organization
that Bush administration officials supported confederate slavery.
Amazingly, Bond's statements went without condemnation from the radical
Democrat party or others in his organization.

Not surprisingly, in all the lies and accusations of racism by the
radical left wing, the truth becomes distorted not only about the
Republicans but also the Democrats who make these accusations
themselves. For instance, you may or may not have heard Democrat Senator
Robert Byrd's outburst of racist bigoted slurs, more specifically the
"n-word," on national television in March of 2001. Amazingly, this
incident of blatant racism on national television drew barely a peep
from the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond, Mary Frances Berry, or any
of the other ambulance chasers who purport themselves to be the leaders
of the civil rights movement. In contrast, the main source of well
deserved criticism for Byrd's racist outburst came not from any of the
so called leaders of the civil rights movement but from from Republican
Majority Leader Dick Armey (source). The race hustlers Jackson, Mfume et
al turned a blind eye towards this act of racism by one of their own
party, at most issuing an unpublicized slap on the wrist, or, as was
more often the case, making not a peep. But where the race hustlers turn
a blind eye and spew their lies, it is up to conservatives to set the
record straight with the truth.

In response to the growing practice of racial McCarthyism by prominent
left wing Democrats, it is necessary to expose the truth about the
Democrat Party's record on Civil Rights:

I. Acts of Bigotry by Prominent Democrats and Leftists:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Franklin Roosevelt, the long time hero and
standard bearer of the Democrat Party, headed up and implemented one of
the most horrible racist policies of the 20th Century – the Japanese
Internment Camps during World War II. Roosevelt unilaterally and
knowingly enacted Japanese Internment through the use of presidential
Executive Orders 9066 and 9102 during the early years of the war. These
orders single-handedly led to the imprisonment of an estimated 120,000
law abiding Americans of Japanese ancestry, the overwhelming majority of
them natural born second and third generation American citizens.
Countless innocents lost their property, fortunes, and, in the case of
an unfortunate few, even their lives as a result of Roosevelt's
internment camps, camps that have been accurately described as America's
concentration camps. Perhaps most telling about the racist nature of
Roosevelt's order was his clearly expressed intention to apply it almost
entirely to Japanese Americans, even though America was also at war with
Germany and Italy. In 1943, Roosevelt wrote regarding concerns of German
and Italian Americans that they t0o would share in the fate of the
interned Japanese Americans, noting that "no collective evacuation of
German and Italian aliens is contemplated at this time." Despite this
assertion, Roosevelt did exhibit his personal fears about Italian and
German Americans, and in his typical racist form he used an ethnic
stereotype to make his point. Expressing about his position on German
and Italian Americans during World War II, Roosevelt stated “I don’t
care so much about the Italians, they are a lot of opera singers, but
the Germans are different. They may be dangerous.”

Roosevelt also appointed two notorious segregationists to the United
States Supreme Court. Roosevelt appointed South Carolina segregationist
Democrat Jimmy Byrnes to the court. Roosevelt later made Byrnes a top
advisor, where the segregationist earned the nickname “assistant
president.” Byrnes was Roosevelt’s second choice behind Harry Truman for
the VP nod in his 1944 reelection bid. Roosevelt also appointed
segregationist Democrat Senator Hugo Black of Alabama to the court.
Black was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan with a notorious record of
racism himself.

Hugo Black: A former Democrat Senator from Alabama and liberal U.S.
Supreme Court Justice appointed by FDR, Hugo Black had a lengthy history
of hate group activism. Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the
1920's and gained his legal fame defending Klansmen under prosecution
for racial murders. In one prominent case, Black provided legal
representation to Klansman Edwin Stephenson for the hate-induced murder
of a Catholic priest in Birmingham. A jury composed of several Klan
members acquited Stephenson of the murder, reportedly after Black
expressed Klan gestures to the jury during the trial. In 1926 Black
sought and won election as a Democrat to the United States Senate after
campaigning heavily to Klan membership. He is said to have told one Klan
audience "I desire to impress upon you as representatives of the real
Anglo-Saxon sentiment that must and will control the destinies of the
stars and stripes, that I want your counsel." In the Senate Black became
a stauch supporter of the liberal New Deal initiatives of FDR and a
solid opponent of civil rights legislation, including a filibuster of an
anti-lynching measure. Black led the push for several New Deal programs
and was a key participant in FDR's court packing scandal. Roosevelt
appointed Black, a loyal ally, to the U.S. Supreme Court. During the
Senate confirmation of Black's nomination, the issue of his strong Klan
affiliations caused a public controversy over his appointment. Following
the confirmation Roosevelt claimed ignorance of Black's Klan past,
though this claim was dubious at best. Black's first Senate election,
which occurred with Klan support, had been covered nationally a decade
earlier in 1926. Black's Klan affiliations were a well known part of his
political background and recieved heavy coverage in the newspapers at
the time of his appointment. On the court, Black became a liberal
stalwart. He also continued his career of supporting racism by authoring
the opinion in favor of FDR's Japanese internment program in the
infamous Korematsu ruling.

Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV: Byrd is a former member of the Ku Klux Klan
and is currently the only national elected official with a history in
the Klan, a well known hate group. Byrd was extremely active in the Klan
and rose to the rank of “Kleagle,” an official Klan membership
recruiter. Byrd once stated that he joined the Klan because it was
effective in "promoting traditional American values" (Source). Byrd's
choice of words speak volumes about his bigotry considering the fact
that the Klan is a notorious hate group, and the racist "values" it
promotes are anything but American. One of the earliest criticisms of
Byrd's Klan ties came in 1952 when he was running for Congress. Byrd
responded by claiming that he had left the Klan in 1943 while noting
that "(d)uring the nine years that have followed, I have never been
interested in the Klan." Byrd was lying, however, as he engaged in
correspondence with a Klan Imperial Wizard long after he claims to have
ended his ties with the hate group.

In a letter to the Klan leadership (Source) dated 3 years after he
purported to have ended his ties with them, Byrd wrote "I am a former
kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties
of the state. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious
to see its rebirth here in West Virginia." Byrd continued his racist
diatribe "It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in
every state of the Union" and followed with a request for assistance
from the hate group's leadership in "rebuilding the Klan in the realm"
of West Virginia.

Byrd's racism extends far beyond his Klan membership. In a letter he
wrote on the subject of desegregating the armed forces, Byrd escalated
his racist rhetoric to an appalling level. In the letter, Byrd vowed
that he would never fight in an integrated armed services noting
"(r)ather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in
the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours
become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen
from the wilds" (Source).

Byrd's racist opinions have shown their ugly face in his behavior in the
Senate. Byrd led the filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and,
according to the United States Senate's own website, filibustered the
legislation to the bitter end appearing as one of the last opponents to
the act before a coalition of civil rights proponents led by Republican
Minority Leader Everett Dirksen invoked cloture so that the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 could pass. At the time, Byrd was in the the midst of a 14
hour and 13 minute filibuster diatribe against the key civil rights
measure (Source). Throughout the 1960's, Byrd was was one of the
staunchest opponents to civil rights in the U.S. Senate. Byrd’s racist
history drew attention recently when he went on national television and
repeatedly used the n-word, one of the most vicious racial slurs in
existence, in an appearance on national television. Byrd uttered the
slur on Fox News Sunday with Tony Snow on March 5, 2001. Despite the
appalling nature of the remark, it went largely ignored by the
mainstream media and the self appointed "civil rights" leadership.
Whereas a similar remark by anyone other than a leading Democrat Senator
would assuredly prompt the likes of Jesse Jackson to assemble protest
rallies demanding resignations, the Jackson crowd was eerily quiet
following Byrd's remarks, issuing only low key suggestions that Byrd
should avoid making such bigoted remarks.

In a sickening recognition of Byrd's appalling political career, the
national Democrat party has done nothing but embrace the West Virginia
senator with leadership roles and practically every honor imaginable. To
this very day the Democrats call former Klansman turned U.S. Senator
Robert Byrd the "conscience of the Senate." They have embraced him as
their party's central pillar in all ways possible. Byrd has been
reelected more times than any other Democrat senator, has served as a
Democrat in Congress, a Democrat State Senator in West Virginia, and a
Democrat State Delegate in West Virginia. Democrats have made repeatedly
elected Byrd into their national party leadership and into the U.S.
Senate leadership. He became secretary of the Senate Democrat Caucus in
1967, and Senate Democrat Whip in 1971. The Democrats elected former
Klansman Byrd as their Senate Majority Leader from 1977-1980 and as
their Senate Minority Leader from 1981-1986. Byrd was again elected
Democrat Majority Leader from 1987-1988. Democrats made Byrd the
chairman of the powerful Appropriations Committee and President Pro
Tempore of the Senate from 1989 until the Republicans won control of the
Senate in November 1994. Following the defection of Jim Jeffords in June
2001, the Democrats again made Byrd the chairman of the Appropriations
Committee and elected him to the highest ranking office in the Senate:
the President Pro Tempore, a position which also put this former
Klansman 4th in line for the presidency. Byrd lost his position when
Republicans retook the Senate in late 2002, but continues to serve as
one of the highest ranking members of the Democrat Senate leadership
today.

Senator Ernest Hollings, D-SC: Hollings is liberal Democrat Senator from
South Carolina who is also notorious for his use of racial slurs. He
rose out of the Democrat Party's segregationist wing in the 1960's as
governor of South Carolina. While in office as governor, Hollings
personally led the opposition to lunch counter integration in his state.
The New York Times reported on March 17, 1960 that then-governor
Hollings "warned today that South Carolina would not permit 'explosive'
manifestations in connection with Negro demands for lunch-counter
services." According to the article, Hollings gave a speech in which he
"challenged President Eisenhower's contention that minorities had the
right to engage in certain types of demonstrations" against segregation.
In the speech Hollings described the Republican president as "confused"
and asserted that Eisenhower had done "great damage to peace and good
order" by supporting the rights of minorities to protest segregation at
the lunch counters.

Governor Hollings' support for segregation continued throughout his term
and included his attendance at a July 23, 1961 meeting of segregationist
Democrats to organize their opposition to the civil rights movement.
Hollings was one of four governors in attendence, all of them Democrats.
The others included rabid segregationists Orval Faubus of Arkansas and
Ross Barnett of Mississippi. The New York Times reported on the meeting,
noting that among the strategies discussed were using the segregationist
White Citizens Council organization to mobilize political opposition to
desegregation.

In more recent years Hollings, a senior Democrat senator, has made
disparaging racial remarks and slurs against minorities. Senator
Hollings, who was a contender for his party's presidential nomination in
1984, blamed his defeat in the primaries by using a racial slur against
Hispanics. After losing the Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings stated "You had
wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston," referring to
one of his opponents, Alan Cranston. A few years later Hollings
reportedly used the slur "darkies" to derogatorily refer to blacks. He
also once disparagingly referred to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition as the
"Blackbow Coalition," and called former Senator Howard Metzenbaum, who
is Jewish, "the Senator from B'nai B'rith." Hollings gained
international criticism for his remarks about the African Delegation to
the 1993 Geneva GATT conference, where he crudely remarked "you'd find
these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each
other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."
Hollings was also the Governor of South Carolina who raised the
confederate flag over the state capitol in the early 1960's in what was
considered at the time to be an act of defiance to civil rights. The
press ignored Hollings and his role in the flag issue at the same time
the political correctness police were smearing George W. Bush during his
campaign after Bush correctly remarked that the flag was a state issue
to be decided upon by South Carolina and not the national government.

Jesse Jackson: Jackson was the featured prime time speaker at the 2000
Democrat Convention. Jackson has a history of using anti-Semitic slurs
and derogatorily calling New York City “Hymietown.” Jackson, a prominent
self proclaimed "civil rights leader," is himself guilty of the same
bigotry he dishonestly purports to oppose.

Dan Rather: Rather, the well known television anchor for CBS, is also a
liberal Democrat who has spoken at fundraisers for the Democrat party in
the past. The notoriously left wing reporter appeared on the Don Imus
radio show on July 19, 2001 where he was interviewed about his long term
refusal to cover the Gary Condit (D-CA) scandal involving an affair with
a missing intern despite the scandal's national prominence. Rather noted
on the air that CBS had basically forced him to cover the story that was
on every other network and on the front page of all the major
newspapers, all this after Rather avoided it for months. Rather stated
on the air, refering to CBS, that "they got the Buckwheats" and made him
cover the Condit scandal. The term "Buckwheat" is considered an
offensive racial stereotype that stems from an easily frightened black
character named "Buckwheat" on the Little Rascals comedies. It is
widely regarded as a racial epithet and has long been condemned as an
offensive stereotype by several civil rights organizations. In several
past incidents (see here and here) the use of the epithet "Buckwheat"
has recieved condemnation by the NAACP, Al Sharpton and other left wing
organizations. These left wing organizations and personalities have
demanded that other media personalities be fired over using the epithet,
and even staged a protest at a school over the mere allegation that the
racist stereotype had been used by a teacher. Yet these same liberal
groups have, to date, remained completely silent now that one of their
own, Dan Rather, is guilty of using the same offensive racial stereotype
they have condemned elsewhere on a national radio show. It's just more
proof of how the left wingers who cry the loudest with accusations of
racism against others turn a blind eye when somebody of their own left
wing ideology is the undeniable culprit of a blatantly racist act or
statement!

Cragg Hines: Hines is one of the most rabidly partisan DC based Democrat
editorial columnists to work for a major newspaper, and he makes no
attempts to hide it. To Hines, pro-lifers are "neanderthals," as is
often the case with those who differ in opinion with him. Ironically,
Hines, a columnist who regularly touts himself as an enlightened
progressive, is also known for racial remarks and religious intolerance.
He attacked Senator Jesse Helms in an August 26, 2001 editorial with not
only the usual liberal name calling, but also with a racial epithet.
Hines used the racial slur "cracker" to attack Helms. He used the
epithet not only within the article's text, but he even included it in
the piece's title. In a sense of heavy irony, Hines' article accused
Helms of bigotry for, among other things, opposing liberal policies like
affirmative action. He didn't seem to object to himself for his own
bigotted language in the same article. Hines has also drawn heavy
criticism from Catholics including a letter to the editor from the
former President of the U.S. Catholic Bishop's Conference for his
seemingly agenda-driven criticisms of Catholicism and its religious
leaders, often based on little or no historical evidence, which he has
expressed in numerous editorial columns.

Al Sharpton: Sharpton, a perrenial Democrat candidate and one of the
rumored candidates for the Democrat's 2004 presidential nomination, has
a notorious racist past. Sharpton was a central figure who fanned the
1991 Crown Heights race riot, where a mob shouting anti-semetic slurs
murdered an innocent Jewish man. Sharpton also incited a 1995 protest of
a Jewish owned store in Harlem where protesters used several
anti-semetic slurs. During the protests, a Sharpton lieutenant called
the store's owner a "bloodsucker" and declared an intent to "loot the
Jews." A member of the protest mob later set fire to the store,
resulting in the death of seven (source).

Representative Dick Gephardt, D-MO: Gephardt, the former Democrat
Minority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, gave several
speeches to a St. Louis area hate group during his early years as a
representative. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Gephardt spoke
before the Metro South Citizens Council, a now defunct white supremacist
organization, during his early years as a congressman. Newsmax.com
further reported that Gephardt had openly asked the group for an
endorsement of his candidacy during one of his many visits with the
organization. Gephardt has long avoided questions about his past
affiliation with this group.

Andrew Cuomo: Cuomo, Bill Clinton's former Housing Secretary and a
prominent Democrat political player in New York, was tape recorded using
racially inflamatory rhetoric to build opposition to a potential
Democrat primary opponent while speaking to a Democrat group. Cuomo
stated that voting for his rival for the New York Democrat gubernatorial
nomination Carl McCall, who is black, would create a "racial contract"
between Black and Hispanic Democrats "and that can't happen." Upon
initial reports, Cuomo denied the statement but later a tape recording
surfaced. Cuomo later dropped out of the race for governor (source).

Lee P. Brown: Brown, Bill Clinton's former drug czar and Democrat mayor
of Houston, engaged in racist campaigning designed to suppress Hispanic
voter turnout during his 2001 reelection bid. Brown faced challenger
Orlando Sanchez, a Hispanic Republican who drew heavy support from the
Hispanic community during the general election. Two weeks prior to the
runoff, Brown's campaign printed racist signs designed to intimidate
Hispanic voters. The signs featured a photograph of Sanchez and the
words "Anti-Hispanic." The signs drew harsh criticism from Hispanic
leaders as their message was designed to intimidate and confuse Hispanic
voters. Around the same time the signs were being used, Brown supporter
and city councilman Carol Alvarado made a series of racially charged
attacks on Sanchez, implying a desire to see the supression of Hispanic
voter turnout in the runoff. Brown staffers also went on record claiming
that Sanchez was not a true Hispanic. The racist anti-Hispanic
undertones of Brown's reelection bid were so great that liberal Democrat
city councilman John Castillo, himself Hispanic, retracted his
endorsement of Brown in disgust and became a Sanchez supporter in the
final week of the campaign. Following the harsh condemnation of the
racist signs and tactics, Brown purported that his campaign was removing
them even though many still lingered around Houston up until the
election. When election day came along, Brown placed more of the racist
signs at polling places, despite his claim to have stopped using them.
The large campaign billboard style election day signs featured, in
Spanish, the word "Danger!" on them followed by Sanchez's name with a
large red circle and slash through it. The signs identified the Brown
campaign as their owner on the bottom. Brown's racially charged
reelection effort barely squeeked by Sanchez on election day, winning
51% to 49% following a series of racially motivated advertisements in
which the Brown campaign appealed to the fear of black voters by
invoking images of the gruesome lynching death of James Byrd, Jr. and by
attempting to pit them against Hispanics. While Brown had the audacity
to declare himself a mayor for all people and all ethnicities at his
victory party, many in Houston fear the racial wounds inflicted by his
campaign will take years to heal.

Mary Frances Berry: Berry is the Democrat chair of the US Commission on
Civil Rights (USCCR). She purports herself to be an "independent" in her
political affiliation in order to hold her job on the civil rights
commission where partisan membership may not exceed 4 for either party,
but is in fact a dedicated liberal Democrat who openly supported Al Gore
for president and has given a total of $20,000 in personal contributions
to the Democrat Party, Al Gore for President, and other Democrat
candidates over the last decade. Berry is an open racist who is
affiliated with the far-left Pacifica radio network, a group with ties
to black nationalist causes. Berry once stated "Civil rights laws were
not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them,"
indicating that she believes the USCCR should only look out for civil
rights violations against persons of certain select skin colors.

Billy McKinney: Former Democrat State Representative Billy McKinney of
Georgia, who is also the father of former Democrat congresswoman Cynthia
McKinney of the same state. During his daughter's failed 2002 reelection
bid, McKinney appeared on television where he blamed his daughter's
difficulties on a Jewish conspiracy. McKinney unleashed a string of
anti-semitic sentiments, stating "This is all about the Jews" and
spelling out "J-E-W-S." McKinney lost his own seat in a runoff a few
weeks later.

The Democrat Party and the Ku Klux Klan: Aside from the multiple Klan
members who have served in elected capacity within the high ranks of the
Democrat Party, the political party itself has a lengthy but often
overlooked history of involvement with the Ku Klux Klan. Though it has
been all but forgotten by the media, the Democrat National Convention of
1924 was host to one of the largest Klan gatherings in American history.
Dubbed the "Klanbake convention" at the time, the 1924 Democrat National
Convention in New York was dominated by a platform dispute surrounding
the Ku Klux Klan. A minority of the delegates to the convention
attempted to condemn the hate group in the party's platform, but found
their proposal shot down by Klan supporters within the party. As
delegates inside the convention voted in the Klan's favor, the Klan
itself mobilized a celebratory rally outside. On July 4, 1924 one of the
largest Klan gatherings ever occurred outside the convention on a field
in nearby New Jersey. The event was marked by speakers spewing racial
hatred, celebrations of their platform victory in the Democrat
Convention, and ended in a cross burning.

II. Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights Movement:

A little known fact of history involves the heavy opposition to the
civil rights movement by several prominent Democrats. Similar historical
neglect is given to the important role Republicans played in supporting
the civil rights movement. A calculation of 26 major civil rights votes
from 1933 through the 1960's civil rights era shows that Republicans
favored civil rights in approximately 96% of the votes, whereas the
Democrats opposed them in 80% of the votes! These facts are often
intentionally overlooked by the left wing Democrats for obvious reasons.
In some cases, the Democrats have told flat out lies about their
shameful record during the civil rights movement.

Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several prominent
and well known liberal Democrat standard bearers including:
- Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia
- J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill
Clinton
- Albert Gore Sr., Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of Al
Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition to
the Civil Rights Act.
- Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame
- Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro Tempore

The complete list of the 21 Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 includes Senators:

- Hill and Sparkman of Alabama
- Fulbright and McClellan of Arkansas
- Holland and Smathers of Florida
- Russell and Talmadge of Georgia
- Ellender and Long of Louisiana
- Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi
- Ervin and Jordan of North Carolina
- Johnston and Thurmond of South Carolina
- Gore Sr. and Walters of Tennessee
- H. Byrd and Robertson of Virginia
- R. Byrd of West Virginia

Democrat opposition to the Civil Rights Act was substantial enough to
literally split the party in two. A whopping 40% of the House Democrats
VOTED AGAINST the Civil Rights Act, while 80% of Republicans SUPPORTED
it. Republican support in the Senate was even higher. Similar trends
occurred with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was supported by 82%
of House Republicans and 94% of Senate Republicans. The same Democrat
standard bearers took their normal racists stances, this time with
Senator Fulbright leading the opposition effort.

It took the hard work of Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett
Dirksen and Republican Whip Thomas Kuchel to pass the Civil Rights Act
(Dirksen was presented a civil rights accomplishment award for the year
by the head of the NAACP in recognition of his efforts). Upon breaking
the Democrat filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Republican Dirksen
took to the Senate floor and exclaimed "The time has come for equality
of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in
employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!" (Full text of
speech). Sadly, Democrats and revisionist historians have all but
forgotten (and intentionally so) that it was Republican Dirksen, not the
divided Democrats, who made the Civil Rights Act a reality. Dirksen also
broke the Democrat filibuster of the 1957 Civil Rights Act that was
signed by Republican President Eisenhower.

Outside of Congress, the three most notorious opponents of school
integration were all Democrats:
- Orval Faubus, Democrat Governor of Arkansas and one of Bill Clinton's
political heroes
- George Wallace, Democrat Governor of Alabama
- Lester Maddox, Democrat Governor of Georgia

The most famous of the school desegregation standoffs involved Governor
Faubus. Democrat Faubus used police and state forces to block the
integration of a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. The standoff was
settled and the school was integrated only after the intervention of
Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Even the Democrat Party organization resisted integration and refused to
allow minority participation for decades. Exclusion of minorities was
the general rule of the Democrat Party of many states for decades,
especially in Texas. This racist policy reached its peak under the New
Deal in the southern and western states, often known as the New Deal
Coalition region of FDR. The Supreme Court in Nixon v. Herndon declared
the practice of "white primaries" unconstitutional in 1927 after states
had passed laws barring Blacks from participating in Democrat primaries.
But the Democrat Parties did not yield to the Court’s order. After Nixon
v. Herndon, Democrats simply made rules within the party's individual
executive committees to bar minorities from participating, which were
struck down in Nixon v. Condon in 1932. The Democrats, in typical racist
fashion, responded by using state parties to pass rules barring blacks
from participation. This decision was upheld in Grovey v. Townsend,
which was not overturned until 1944 by Smith v. Allwright. The Texas
Democrats responded with their usual ploys and turned to what was known
as the "Jaybird system" which used private Democrat clubs to hold
white-only votes on a slate of candidates, which were then transferred
to the Democrat party itself and put on their primary ballot as the only
choices. Terry v. Adams overturned the Jaybird system, prompting the
Democrats to institute blocks of unit rule voting procedures as well as
the infamous literacy tests and other Jim Crow regulations to
specifically block minorities from participating in their primaries. In
the end, it took 4 direct Supreme Court orders to end the Democrat's
"white primary" system, and after that it took countless additional
orders, several acts of Congress, and a constitutional amendment to tear
down the Jim Crow codes that preserved the Democrat's white primary for
decades beyond the final Supreme Court order ruling it officially
unconstitutional.

Hispanics in South Texas were treated especially poorly by the Democrat
Party, which relied heavily on a system of political bosses to coerce
and intimidate Hispanics into voting for Democrat primary candidates of
choice. Though coercion is illegal, this system, known as the Patron
system, is still in use to this day by local Democrat parties in some
heavy Hispanic communities of the southwest.

The next time Democrats take to the national airwaves to dishonestly
accuse Republicans of racial hatred, remember who the historical record
up until this very day points to as the real bigots: The Democrat Party.
In all possible ways, the Democrat Party is built around the pillars of
ultra leftists, many of whom are known participants in racism and/or
affiliates of racist hate groups. Consider the Democrat Party of today's
heroes and leaders:

- Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Democrat icon and orchestrator of Japanese
Internment
- Ex-House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, former affiliate of a St.
Louis area racist group
- Ex-Senate President Pro Tempore Robert Byrd, former Ku Klux Klansman
known for making bigoted slurs on national television
- Rev. Jesse Jackson, Democrat keynote speaker and race hustler known
for making anti-Semitic slurs
- Rev. Al Sharpten, Democrat activist and perennial candidate and race
hustler known inciting anti-Semitic violence in New York City
- Sen. Ernest Hollings, leading Democrat Senator known for use of racial
slurs against several minority groups
- Lee P. Brown, former Clinton cabinet official and Democrat mayor of
Houston who won reelection using racial intimidation against Hispanic
voters
- Andrew Cuomo, former Clinton cabinet official and Democrat candidate
for NY Governor who made racist statements about a black opponent.
- Dan Rather, Democrat CBS news anchor and editorialist known for using
anti-black racial epithets on a national radio broadcast
- Donna Brazile, former Gore campaign manager known for making
anti-white racial attacks. Brazile has also worked for Jackson,
Gephardt, and Michael Dukakis

The simple truth is that the Democrat Party's history during this
century is one closely aligned to bigotry in a record stemming largely
out of the liberal New Deal era up until the modern day. Bigots are at
the center of the Democrat party's current leadership and role models.
And in a striking display of hypocrisy, many of the same Democrats who
dishonestly shout accusations of "bigotry" at conservatives are
practicing bigots of the most disgusting and disreputable kind
themselves.

No, you're a chickenshit. You dodge the truth just like you dodged the
