The Republican Party was founded expressly because no other political party would stand up against slavery.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Makes me wonder how so many southern Baptists are in the Republican Party today... I heard a rumour they supported slavery...

When did this alleged liberal propoganda occur that says that Democrats represent the common man and Republicans represent established interests?


Also, why would the Republicans who were so interested in the way we live as blacks in America allow the end of Reconstruction which basically left blacks in the South with no legal or political protection... I am sure no one got sold out but it does appear that perhaps some political or economic convenience may have resulted in the abandonment of civil rights protection for minorities.... I appreciate the comeback that was made in the 1960's but there seems to be a period in time where someone (don't know who) was asleep at the the wheel...
