Democrats
and Racism
Historical Evidence of Democrats Opposing Republican Civil Rights
Democrats hindered Republican civil rights legislation from advancing. Democrats voted against the Republican 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote.
It is ironic that most blacks today have allied themselves to a Democrat Party whose policies amount to a modern form of slavery. --Bishop E.W. Jackson

The Big Switch:
From suppression to dependence
The fake history we've been fed: Did you know that Democrats were the sole
cause and perpetrators of American slavery.
We're told Republicans are racist, white supremacists, homophobic, and the
scourge of people of color. During the 1960s, while serving in the Marine Corps, I
watched as Republicans were going all out to pass legislation giving blacks the
same rights as whites. The Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, if I
recall, did not receive one vote from a Democrat. The Republican Party passed it
on its own. --Roger

4 Facts That Prove the '1619 Project' Is a Total Farce - By Eddie L. Hyatt -
Backed by federal and corporate funding, the New York Times' "1619 Project" is
being implemented in public schools and corporate settings throughout America.
This is tragic for this teaching is producing a generation that despises and
hates America. Proponents are using this twisted history to groom a generation
for the fundamental transformation of America into a socialist/Marxist state.
The "1619 Project" claims that 1619, when the first African slaves were brought
to this land, was the true founding of America, not 1776. According to this
narrative, America's founders were evil slaveholders who founded the country to
protect slavery and their own wealth. America was forever defined by slavery and
is racist and corrupt at its very core. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who spent eight
years in a Soviet labor camp, said, "To destroy a people you must first sever
their roots." This is the goal of the "1619 Project," to destroy the America of
Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln and King. They are doing this by
rewriting America's history and severing her from her roots of faith and
freedom. Slavery is certainly a blight on America's history, but the 1619
narrative is a distortion of the facts. Here are four simple facts that show the
"1619 Project" to be a total farce. (See link for details on each Fact.) ...Fact No. 1 Slavery Was Not Unique to America. ... ...Fact No. 2 America's Founders Turned Against Slavery.
... ...Fact No. 3 America's Founding Documents Are Colorblind.
... ...Fact No. 4 The Testimony of Frederick Douglass and Dr.
King .. (See also:
America's Founders and Slavery - What Democrats do not want you to know.)
...On November 22, 1865, Republicans denounced
Democrats for enacting Black Codes as they institutionalized discrimination. On
February 5, 1866, Republican Congressman Thaddeus Stevens introduced legislation
to give former slaves "40 acres and a mule." Democrats opposed it, led by
President Andrew Johnson. On April 9, 1866, Republicans in Congress overrode
President Johnson's veto and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, conferring
rights of citizenship on freed slaves. ...To force Southern States to extend the
rights of State citizenship to former slaves, Republicans passed the 14TH
AMENDMENT, May 10, 1866, in the U.S. House, and June 8, 1866, in the U.S.
Senate. One hundred percent of Democrats voted against it. ...Along with Jim
Crow laws, Southern Democrats attempted to keep former slaves from voting. On
January 8, 1867, Republicans granted voting rights to former slaves in the
District of Columbia by overriding President Andrew Johnson's veto. ...The 15TH AMENDMENT, granting the right to
vote to all men regardless of race was passed February 3, 1870, overcoming 97
percent Democrat opposition. ...Once Southern Democrats could no longer keep
former slaves from voting, they attempted to intimidate them through Antifa-type
KKK vigilante mobs and terrorist lynchings. ...Democrats in the South called the
white Republicans "radicals," and lynched them along with blacks. The Tuskegee
Institute recorded that from 1882-1968, there were 4,743 documented lynchings:
3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites -- the whites being "radical" Republicans who were
caught registering freed blacks to vote. ...Dinesh D'Sousa pointed out (The Independent
Whig, Sept. 1, 2016): "More Republicans proportionally voted for that Civil
Rights Act in '64, and the Voting Rights Act in '65, and the fair housing bill
in '68, than Democrats did." Lyndon Johnson immediately followed this up by
introducing his Great Society entitlement welfare programs -- a
Cloward-Piven strategy to backdoor the country into socialistic dependency.
...From the Civil War to Lyndon Johnson,
Southern Democrats utilized the negative motivation of intimidation to keep
African Americas from voting. But as television and media reporting revealed the
horrors of these intimidation tactics, it was bad press for the Democrat Party.
Political strategists proposed a different tactic to control minority voters,
namely, switching from "intimidation" to "entitlement."
...In other words,
instead of suppressing the African American vote through intimidation, the
African American vote could be controlled through dependency on entitlement
programs. ...According to Ronald Kessler's book, Inside
The White House (1996), Lyndon Johnson, who had a reputation for vulgarity in
private conversations, explained his BIG SWITCH strategy change from
intimidation to entitlement to two Democrat governors aboard Air Force One,
saying: "I'll have those n****rs voting Democratic for the next 200 years."
...Lyndon Johnson's Great Society Welfare State proceeded to enroll large
numbers of minorities into entitlement programs. ...Democrat social workers
overcame this initial opposition from those "too proud" to take a hand out, and
enrolled increasingly larger numbers. This gradually led to a cultural shift of
generational dependency, and with it, a strong tendency for recipients to vote
for Democrat candidates who promised more hand outs. In other words: more
dependents translates into more votes.
Democrat Abigail Spanberger vs. Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears
The
14th Amendment had been introduced into Congress by Republican Congressman John
Bingham of Ohio.
The 14th Amendment was adopted JULY 28, 1868, because
Southern States, though forced to end slavery, did not grant State citizenship
to freed slaves. The 14th Amendment reversed the Dred Scott decision of 1857,
where the Supreme Court, with 7 of the 9 Justices being Democrat, decided that Dred Scott was not a citizen, but property
belonging to his owner.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, appointed by
Democrat President Andrew Jackson, wrote that
slaves were "so far inferior...that the Negro might justly and lawfully be
reduced to slavery for their own benefit." Southern Democrat Legislatures passed
Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws, requiring freed slaves to be "apprenticed" to
"employers" and punished any who left. - November 22, 1865, Republicans denounced
Mississippi's Democrat legislature for enacting "black codes" institutionalizing
racial discrimination.
In 1854, Wisconsin citizens met in a schoolhouse
in Ripon, Wisconsin, to form what would become the Republican Party.
The original 1856 Republican platform was: "Resolved ... it is both the right
and the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin
relics of barbarism -- Polygamy and Slavery." One of the founders of the
Republican Party was U.S. Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. In 1841, he
argued before the Massachusetts Supreme Court, Roberts v. Boston, to end racial
segregation in schools. His efforts eventually led the Massachusetts Legislature
to integrate schools in 1855. When the Democrat Party pushed through the 1850
Fugitive Slave Act, Senator Sumner gave a three hour speech condemning it. When
the Kansas-Nebraska Act, promoted by Democrat Senator Stephen Douglas and
Democrat Congressman Andrew Butler, passed in 1856, Sumner denounced it,
accusing Democrats of having a "mistress ... the harlot, Slavery."
May 22, 1856, Andrew Butler's cousin, Democrat Congressman Preston Brooks
approached Charles Sumner as he sat at his desk in the Senate chamber and struck
him with a thick gutta-percha cane with a gold head. Brooks continued
to beat Charles Sumner till his desk, which had been bolted to the floor, was
knocked over. Blinded by his own blood, Sumner attempted to get up and stagger
away down the aisle, but Brooks kept striking him. When other Senators tried to
rescue Sumner, Democrat Congressman Laurence Keitt brandished a pistol. Finally,
Brook's gutta-percha cane broke and Sumner lay motionless on the floor. ...Charles
Sumner died MARCH 11, 1874, having never fully recovered from his injuries.
...After
the Civil War, slavery was ended when Republicans pushed through the
13th Amendment, but Southern Democrat continued to discriminate against freed
slaves. Republicans passed the 14th Amendment in 1868 to force States to give
rights to freed slaves. In 1870, Republicans passed the 15th Amendment in 1870,
to prohibit Democrats from intimidating blacks at polling places. In the 1960s,
under LBJ, Democrats did the big switch from "intimidation" to "entitlement," as
a way to control minority voters through the Great Society Welfare State
entitlement programs.
...Burgess Owens was quoted in
Yahoo Sports, June 19, 2019, "Former NFL player on reparations: 'How about the
Democratic Party pay'": "(On) the concept of reparations ... Owens spoke during hearings for H.R. 40 ...
'I used

Attempts To Call Republicans Racists
Bob Woodson: Democrats Blame Racism To Deflect Attention From
Failures Of Cities They've Run For 50 Years - By Tim Hains "In
the past 50 years, $22 trillion has been spent on poverty programs. Seventy
percent goes not to the poor but those who serve poor people," he said. "So many
of those people taking office use this money to create a class of people who are
running these cities, and now after 50 years of liberal Democrats running the
inner cities, where we have all of these inequities that we have, race is being
used as a ruse, as a means of deflecting attention away from critical questions
such as why are poor blacks failing in systems run by their own people?" "It's
more class than it is race ... and now race is being used to deflect attention
away from the failures of people running those institutions," he added.
After the Civil War, freed slaves began to advance in society. The
Democrat Party started violent terrorist vigilante groups in the
South tried to keep African Americans down, committing over 4,000 lynching. The
Tuskegee Institute recorded 4743 documented lynchings from 1882-1968, being
3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites --the whites being "radical" Republicans who were
caught registering freed blacks to vote.
June 10, 1964, Democrats Filibustered the Civil Rights Act
by Jim Hoft
Martin
Luther King Jr. Opposition to Democrat Policies
During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats
who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks
and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who
pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to
desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl
Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of
Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President
Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military.
Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to
effectively end segregation in the military. Democrat President John F. Kennedy
is lauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, Kennedy voted against the
1957 Civil Rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Sen. Al Gore Sr.
And after he became President, Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 March on
Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph, who was a
black Republican.
"In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the
silence of our friends."
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things
that matter." "A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right; a
man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice; a man dies when he refuses to
take a stand for that which is true."
"Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the
question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience
asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a
position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it
because it is right."
Martin Luther King Jr. - Excerpts from his Letter from the Birmingham Jail April
16, 1963 "How does one determine whether a law is
"There was a time when the church was very powerful in the time
when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what
they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that
recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that
transformed the mores of society. Whenever the early Christians entered a town,
the people in power became disturbed and immediately sought to convict the
Christians for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators"' But the
Christians pressed on, in the conviction that they were "a colony of heaven,"
called to obey God rather than man. Small in number, they were big in
commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be "astronomically intimidated." By
their effort and example they brought an end to such ancient evils as
infanticide and gladiatorial contests.
Things are different now. So often the contemporary church is a
weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an arch defender
of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the
power structure of the average community is consoled by the church's silent and
often even vocal sanction of things as they are.
But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If
today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it
will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as
an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I
meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright
disgust."
Racial discrimination -
"Know no man after the flesh..." (2
Corinthians 5:16)
The sentiments of Martin Luther King
Jr. and Frederick Douglass are welcomed and needed, as many are using race to
divide. At the time of the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson's
"all men are created equal," many people of color understood this proclamation
and took up arms believing as Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass
exclaimed and Andre Archie highlights. (See
Black Founders -
Supporting the Republic &
"Patriots of
Color" - in the War of Independence.)
Edification derived from God's Word in addressing "colorblindness" and "racism."
Initially one must consider how Jesus looked upon each and every individual.
Were His concerns primarily for our worldly life, or for eternal life? Or the
Apostle Paul's admonition to "know no man after the flesh." How would
considering each person's eternal spirit instead of each person's "flesh"
alleviate "racism?" o "Know no man after the flesh..." (2
Corinthians 5:16)
o But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his
appearance or his height, for I have rejected him (Eliab for David). The Lord
does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward
appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1
Samuel 16:7)
o "Male and female He created them." (Genesis
1:27)
o If "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (1
Corinthians 15:50), but the "spirit" can (Ecclesiastes
12:7), "racism" is a depraved secular trait and counterfeit to Biblical
moral virtue.

"Equity"
Is Not Equality - It's Revenge - By
Will Alexander -
...There's so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to
jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create
menacing white racist devils that do not exist: "white privilege," "systemic
racism," and "white supremacy." It's so infuriating because "some people still
want to do that" is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds. A
new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good
reason, in the name of achieving racial "equity." ...Yet the fight for so-called
racial equity has nothing to do with real justice. Stripped of distortions and
theatrics, equity is fueled by the same primitive stuff that drives all blood
feuds: tribalism, hatred, revenge, and violence. Wicked politicians use the sins
of older generations to get and keep power while angry blacks, clinging to old
hatreds, seethe for revenge. Biden's new diktat, in effect, institutionalized a
vendetta.

- On May 10, 1866, in the House, and June 8, 1866, in the Senate,
Republicans passed the 14th Amendment, despite 100 percent of Democrats voting
against it. Due process and equal protection of the laws was now guaranteed to
all citizens.
- January 8, 1867, Republicans granted voting rights to

- Explaining the reason for the 14th Amendment, Republican
Congressman John Farnsworth of Illinois stated, March 31, 1871: "The reason for
the adoption (of the 14th Amendment)...was because

one class of men under different laws from another class."
THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PragerU)
When you think of civil rights, who comes to mind: the Democrats or the
Republicans? Most people would answer, "Democrats." Most people would be wrong.
As shown by Carol Swain, professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt
University, the Democrats voted against the 13th Amendment, which freed the
slaves, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote. The party
would prefer that you don't know its dark 200-year history. But you can
watch our new video to find out. 1857 Dred Scott V. Sanford: 7 Democrat
Justices voted Yea, the 2 Republican Justices voted Nay. Eric Foner, Professor
of History Columbia University: "In effect, the Klan was a military force
serving the interests of the Democratic Party." Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) shared
views with the Klan and re-segregated Federal agencies. After loosing Civil
Rights votes, Democrats came up with a new plan. Lyndon Johnson (Democrat)
stated, "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200
years, as he
confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One regarding his
underlying intentions for the "Great Society" programs.
Thus began massive Government Welfare, Democrats opposing School Choice, and
politically correct policing that left black neighborhoods defenseless against
violent crime.
How
Blacks Became Political Slaves to Democrats - By Gary DeMar
...Caring for the poor is now the domain of civil government. They've traded one
plantation for the "liberal plantation" run by the Democrat Party. Former
sheriff David Clarke makes this important point: "Look, the mainstream media,
the liberal mainstream media, refuses to tell and write the stories and the op-eds
to inform blacks that after 60 years of enslavement under Democrat control,
their lives have not gotten better. This liberal mainstream media continues, not
to tell the story that under the first black president, the standard of living
of blacks has not gotten better. Poverty has worsened, the schools have gotten
worse. They can't find meaningful work."
When
It Comes to Helping Black Kids, Our Leaders Are All Talk, No Action
- By Armstrong Williams - ...Black political leaders have failed the Black community. They have
concentrated so much on existential racial issues that they have neglected the
very real misery that many Black people confront on a day-to-day basis.
...Strong families with a strong sense of community, individual pride, and
access to a real education and opportunities will be the driving forces of
change in these environments.
Not Black vs. White but
Republican vs. Democrat ...In 1850, the Democrat-controlled U.S.
Congress passed the infamous Fugitive Slave Act, signed by Democrat President
Millard Fillmore. This mandated that if a runaway slave escaped to the North,
the Federal government demanded citizens obey a Federal Law to capture him and
return him to his Southern slave owner. It was pushed through by Democrat
politicians Speaker Howell Cobb and Senate President William King.

entitlements based upon the myth of societal inequality.

Why
Martin Luther King Was Republican by Frances
Rice - It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a
Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From
its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party
has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so
succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the
four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism. It was the
Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory
Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch
and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil
rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing
with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.
"He who accepts evil
without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."
just or unjust? A just law
is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust
law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms
of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in
eternal law and natural law."
