Here is more history that black people will not hear, and Democrats want to forget or attempt to spin into something that it isn’t. In 1872, the Republican Party Platform stated: “During eleven years of [congressional] supremacy, it [the Republican Party] has…suppressed a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four millions of slaves, directed the equal citizenship of all, and established universal suffrage [voting]. Complete liberty and exact equality in the enjoyment of all civil, political, and public rights should be established and effectually maintained throughout the Union by efficient and appropriate state and federal legislation. Neither the law nor its administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citizens by reason of African Americans, creed, color, or previous condition of servitude.” (wallbuilders.com)

That very same year, the Democrat Platform read: “We pledge ourselves to maintain the union of these states, emancipation, and enfranchisement, and to oppose any reopening of the questions settled by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments of the Constitution. We demand the immediate and absolute removal of the rebellion [Civil War] which was finally subdued seven years ago, believing that universal amnesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country.”

That sounded good, and if you had stopped reading there you could easily have believed it was a magnanimous display of contrition. But, as it has always been with Democrats, the truth lies in their actions, not their words. “This is a false and misleading promise, for Democrats had relentlessly opposed those Amendments — and the civil rights laws based on them. Not only had Democrats stridently opposed the 13th Amendment, but not a single Democrat in Congress voted either for the 14th Amendment (declaring that former slaves were full citizens and therefore entitled to all rights and privileges of any other citizen in the state in which they lived) or the 15th Amendment (granting explicit voting rights to black Americans). In fact, in the civil rights bill of 1871 to punish the Klan violence, not one Democrat in Congress voted for that bill. The same was true with other major civil rights laws. Therefore, voting records prove this platform declaration by Democrats to be patently false.”

This part of history is discarded and miscast. In fact, the truth is that the very blacks who claim erudition are ignorant of the fact that there even was a Civil Rights Bill of 1871 that included language to punish the Klan. They regurgitate distortions and lies as verifiable facts when, as I show above, they are any but facts.

This is important history. It is history that is not discussed in the 28-day tribute to immiseration and self-imposed victimology, and you can count the public school classrooms it is taught in on probably one hand — with fingers left over.

It is a tragic and venal display of abandoning the truth for political gain on the one hand, and disavowing the truth out of a rabid desire to denounce modernity on the other.

Many blacks are victims. But they are victims of their own making and choosing. They revel in the mire of despair and antipathy. They are invidious and given to self-segregating. The brainwashing of many blacks has been complete to the point of there being a valid question as to how many save the very young can be reached with the truth.

White people are not the enemy of blacks, neither is America. Quite the opposite. Willful and wanton ignorance is the enemy of blacks. And that enemy in the mirror is cannibalizing their minds and beings. The truth is, it’s hard to rescue a drowning man because realizing they are drowning they thrash about and fight the very person(s) who would save them. Such is the analogy pursuant to blacks.

But we cannot allow that to deter the message of truth. Those of us who know the truth must share wholistically. We must realize that ours is a daunting task but a necessary one. This year is an important election year. Democrats have successfully implanted a charade (i.e., Obama), posing as a friend to blacks, when in fact, he, as the blacks in Chicago accurately pointed out after the State of the Union speech, has done nothing for anyone but himself and his cronies.

As long as the prostitution of skin color for political and personal gain, and ignorance of factual history are the rule, blacks will be susceptible to self-limitation. But we cannot allow that to silence the truth. Let’s hear them espouse that message during black history month.

MYchal Massie,, hmmmm

I find it interesting that he writes this

"As long as the prostitution of skin color for political and personal gain, and ignorance of factual history are the rule, blacks will be susceptible to self-limitation. But we cannot allow that to silence the truth. Let’s hear them espouse that message during black history month. "

as a man who makes a living writing about (usually whats 'wrong' with) blacks,,,,,


as to the rest,, political affiliation and platforms evolve,, this is no longer the 19th century

nor are the parties the mirror of those which existed then,,,,,

so do you disagree with what he says is wrong with blacks?

and the article is about how democrats hide these facts from people now... it's not about the evolution of the dems, or what platforms anyone uses now...

on some things I agree and some I don't, like with most commentators
they aren't always wrong or always right

and I don't think democrats 'hide' anything more than republicans 'hide' by not highlighting the political system of the 19th century when promoting their 21st century agendas,,,,

yea, maybe... but pointing these things out is a good thing, maybe it will help teach people to learn for themselves...

Hmm ... What might those 21st-Century agendas be?

Republicans: Equal Opportunity
Democrats: Equal Results

Republicans: A Level Playing Field
Democrats: A Tie Score, even if it means taking points earned by one team and giving them to another team.

Republicans: Encouraging the acquisition of wealth by making wise decisions and taking risks.
Democrats: Wealth re-distribution via Socialism.

Republicans: Helping minorities overcome obstacles preventing wealth acquisition.
Democrats: Promoting dependence on the government in order to overcome obstacles preventing wealth acquisition.

Republicans: Protecting the integrity of the ballot box by requiring voter ID.
Democrats: Making false claims of racism regarding why Republicans want voter ID.

***

For the record, I am not a Republican. I am a moderate Independent.

hmmm... kinda speaks for itself...

sure sounds very anti democrat though,,

oh well, everyone is free to an opinion,,,and this is a great place to find them all,,lol

is that an opinion or facts? if it's facts, then your first line should make you think about it...

haha...

of course its opinions,,lol

any description of what a party represents, barring what comes directly from the party website,, is an opinion,,,,,about what it represents to THAT specific observer

so your saying it's false?

an opinion is neither true nor false

facts are true or false,,,

opinions are subjective to individual perspective

I really hate how people honestly believe that blacks are so ignorant that we can't revisit what happened in the past and form a basic understanding of how it has played a role in our lives. And, let me add, it's up to us to look at the big picture while embracing where we, as a people, are now. Republics have done amazing things for black. So have democrats . . . both during specific time periods. But more importantly stop advancing the separation of races by trying exploit how much Democrats were once idiots. If something occurred in the past affected blacks then it also affected others because we are all, after all, Americans.

Opinions are often true or false. This FACT is a cornerstone to our legal system.

A woman can have a baby. The doctor can, in his opinion, determine that it is male. His opinion could be true or false based on genetic abnormalities of the baby or it's DNA.

The same is true of politics and many other areas. You could, in your opinion, say that a certain event will cause someone to lose an election. Depending upon the accuracy of your opinion, it may be true or false.

male and female is not done through dna tests at birth, wth?

I have had two children, the doctor determines male or female by the anatomy and reproductive system

this can be PROVEN

INTERSEX births can be defined by the parents choice of how to raise the child,, but they are in FACT, intersex, living as male or female


a prediction can be correct or incorrect, but due to it involving an event that has yet to happen,,

when having a political discussion, facts are provable, and opinions are subjective

You obviously don't understand our justice system. You obviously didn't understand my analogy to a doctor and birth either. Everything the doctor does is opinion, no matter the method he uses.

OH KAY

Hmm. If it is being anti-Democrat to mention the Democratic Party's goals, then plenty of Democrats are anti-Democrat.
