I heard a black lady call into a Seattle Liberal Talk Radio show the other day and say "Republicans have always been racist, and that the only good one was Lincoln" . How terribly sad. But this is what blacks and whites have been taught in schools since the 1960s, and the lie they firmly believe.
I am in the middle of a book I wish ALL African Americans would read, and white Americans too for that matter. Called;
Setting the record straight: American history in Black & White by David Barton.
Black Americans today know NOTHING about Black History earlier than MLK. If they did none of them would be Democrats, Ever. The Democrats were clearly the pro-slavery party in the 1800s, and following the Civil War the Democrats fought against giving black Americans any Civil Rights and did everything to prevent blacks from being a part of the political proces which is why they formed the KKK to intimidate blacks and whites from voting for pro-civil rights Republicans. And for over 100 years Democrats in congress voted time and time and time again Against any civil rights legislation proposed by Republicans. Democrats today still have Blacks in a form of slavery, by twisting their knowledge of history by erasing history older than than MLK. And their new Slave Master is keepings them in Want, and the Government being the provider.

Well, that explains why they often respond to those Nigerian scam-mails.
There are two kinds of Black Americans: Free Blacks and Plantation Blacks.
The Plantation Blacks are in the majority and they hate Free Blacks more than they hate whites, Hispanics, or anyone else.
Plantation Blacks don’t think of Free Blacks as free... they think of them as Runaways.
And they hate the runaways more than the old plantation owners ever hated them.
It’s much more personal for the Plantation Blacks. They look at the Free Blacks and say: how DARE they run away.
Dewey knew exactly how to make sure the party line was taught and started the damage a hundred years ago. As far back as Sanger, using W.E.B. DuBois, they always knew how to indoctrinate each target group. In the 60s, they used black leaders such as Malcolm X. In THIS generation they don’t need to dig any deeper than the idiots Sharpton and Jackson.
The left never had any intention of allowing a group that they considered inferior enter their little enclaves of power, but knew they needed a better way to keep them in their place. VOILA! enter the new politics of race, division and victimization!
It’s genius really...
DAvid Barton is good
They haven’t been brainwashed. In the words of Malcolm X (according to the movie):
“You been took. You been hoodwinked. Bamboozled. Led astray. Run amuck.”
I’d love to see Herman Cain work this quote into a speech about Obama and the Democrat Party.
Great contribution on this thread. Thanks.
Awesome post.
Lyndon’s Great Society just evolved into “Great Checks”.
I never was taught that in any school, in any of the many states I grew up in, from grade school through college.
Makes me wonder what else the school systems didn't think was important enough to teach and why did I have to learn it from Glenn Beck instead?
That’s great! Thanks.
Loved his Founders Fridays.
Beck’s politics was sometimes too Libertarian for me, but his love of History and how he and his guest enspired be to want to learn more. For that my thanks to Beck can’t be measured. My library is now full of history books showcased on his show, including the one posted here.
There are many astute, self-identified black Freepers who post frequently on FR (NB it’s always painful to read insulting racially biased, stereotype comments from some maniacal FReepers).
I keep hoping for their comments on Herman Cain threads, especially since Sarah’s announcement. FRiends, where are you??
The Democratic Republicans became the Democrats.
I notice that wikipedia claims “...The other main faction [of the Democratic Republicans], led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, formed a new party initially known as the National Republicans; it evolved into the Whig Party, the northern wing of which eventually became the civil-war-era Republican Party.”
This seems like another wikipedia prevarication to me, though I’m hardly an expert in this area.
