Contrary To What Democrats And Jeremiah Wright Want Americans To Believe
Topics: Political News and commentariesGiven all the nonsense and crap that's come out of the Obama campaign recently - especially the phony racism charges against anyone that questions Obama's judgment and character, and given the whole Jeremiah Wright saga and Wright's own racism (keeping in mind that there are indeed many Whites who are just as racist), it seems like a good time to repost this piece that we put up back on March 20th of this year. (Thanks to "Ira L." for reminding me about the importance of this issue)
In her must-read open letter to the Democratic Party, Lt. Colonel Frances Rice, U.S. Army Retired, provides Democrats a much-needed lesson in the history of racial relations in America while demanding a formal written apology and other appropriate remuneration from the leadership of the Democratic party for documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon African Americans.
Do read all of it; most readers will be surprised about just how much what they thought they knew about the Democratic Party and what it has done "for" Afro-Americans - was wrong:
"We, African American citizens of the United States, declare and assert:Whereas in the early 1600's 20 African men and women were landed in Virginia from a Dutch ship as slaves and from that tiny seed grew the poisoned fruit of plantation slavery which shaped the course of American development,
Whereas reconciliation and healing always begin with an apology and an effort to repay those who have been wronged,
Whereas the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices committed against African Americans during the past two hundred years, nor for the residual impact that those atrocities and practices and current soft bigotry of low expectations are having on us today,
Whereas the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery and, after the Civil War, established Jim Crow Laws, Black Codes and other repressive legislation that were designed to disenfranchise African Americans,
Whereas the Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and their primary goal was to intimidate and terrorize African American voters, Republicans who moved South to protect African Americans and any other whites who supported them,
Whereas, according to leading historians (both black and white), the horrific atrocities committed against African Americans during slavery and Reconstruction were financed, sponsored, and promoted by the Democratic Party and their Ku Klux Klan supporters,
Whereas from 1870 to 1930, in an effort to deny African Americans their civil rights and to keep African Americans from voting Republican, thousands of African Americans were shot, beaten, lynched, mutilated, and burned to death by Ku Klux Klan terrorists from the Democratic Party,
Whereas Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman rejected anti-lynching laws and efforts to establish a permanent Civil Rights Commission,After reading the entire piece, ask yourself just how in the hell does the Democratic Party, and especially the now outed racist Barack Obama, get off pretending that they are the defenders and saviors of the Black community!Whereas the Democratic party has used racist demagoguery to deceive African Americans about the history of the Republican Party that: (a) started as the anti-slavery party in 1854, (b) fought to free African Americans from slavery, (c) designed Reconstruction, a ten-year period of unprecedented political power for African Americans, (d) passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the right to vote, (e) passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1875 granting African Americans protection from the Black Codes and prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations, (f) passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 granting African Americans protection from the Jim Crow laws, (g) established Affirmative Action programs to help African Americans proper with Republican President Richard Nixon's 1969 Philadelphia Plan that set the first goals and timetables and his 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act that made Affirmative Action Programs the law of our nation, and (h) never sponsored or launched a program, passed laws, or engaged in practices that resulted in the death of millions of African Americans,
