Court Decides Reparations Suit Against Democrats By Frances Rice
The U.S. District Court in Seattle, Washington issued a historic ruling in the landmark Reparations lawsuit (Case No. CV04-2442) filed against the Democratic Party by Rev. Wayne Perryman, author of the book entitled Unfounded Loyalty: An In-depth look into the Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats.
Reacting to the court's decision, Rev. Perryman, who will be the keynote speaker at the June 11, 2005 Empowerment Award Luncheon sponsored by the SaraMana Black Republican Club at the Sarasota Hyatt at 11:30 AM, thanked his supporters and said: "This case will become a permanent part of the United States Federal Judicial archives for years to come."
Rev. Perryman said that he filed the 180-page Reparations lawsuit for two primary reasons: (1) To obtain redress for the crimes committed against African Americans by the Democratic Party and (2) To officially file a formal case against the Democratic Party as a permanent historic record.
Under oath in court, the Democratic Party was forced to tell the truth about the party's racist past and the harm that party caused to African Americans. In a legal maneuver to escape paying Reparations and have the case dismissed, the Democrats convinced the judge that since Rev. Perryman himself had not been personally or directly harmed, he had no standing to file the lawsuit on behalf of all African Americans.
Rev. Perryman responded to the Democrats' legal maneuver by submitting another legal brief to the court. In that document, Rev. Perryman said that "contrary to what the Democrats want the court to believe, none of the country's leading legal experts, including the 200 plus law professors who received copies of the original brief, have cited one legal precedent to dismiss the case."
It is the only case of record, Rev. Perryman told the court, "where millions of people were brought to this country against their will, enslaved for over 200 years, and denied their constitutional rights by the legislative efforts of one political party, the Democratic Party."
Using historical documents, Rev. Perryman presented facts to the court showing that African Americans were beaten, murdered, tortured and terrorized by members of the Democratic Party from 1792 to 1962. "African Americans," Rev. Perryman said, "were never compensated for their suffering."
Rev. Perryman pointed out to the court that there are a number of cases that address redress, but none that address the impact that one political party, the Democratic Party, had on an entire race of people. "This case is very unique," Rev. Perryman said, "and should not be dismissed because of other unrelated cases."
The other cases cited by the Democrats, Rev. Perryman said, were either about finding the descendants of slaves to compensate them or finding corporations that profited from slavery. My case against the Democrats, Rev. Perryman told the court, "is about a powerful political party that promoted and practiced racism for 170 years (1792-1962) until it infected our entire nation and affected an entire race." The Democratic Party's racist practices, Rev. Perryman said, continue to affect African Americans today. Most of the acts committed by the Democrats against African Americans were initiated and committed at the state level under the Democratic Party's claims of States’ Rights based on the party's Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes.
Rev. Perryman requested that the court order the Democratic Party to apologize for their racist past and the harm the party caused to African Americans. He also requested funds to produce a series of educational films depicting the true relationship between blacks and the two political parties. Both an apology and funds for educational purposes are allowed under the 1988 Civil Liberties Act.
You said: "No problem. The original post makes it sound as though Perryman actually won the case. As you can see, he didn't."
I agree....I was confused at first myself. When I put up the thread I posted the headline that came with the email I got.
The text I posted explains in detail what happened. Even though Perryman's case was dismissed, he was able to get all his facts, on how the Democrat Party has harmed Blacks, into the US legal record.
Also the Democrat Party was required to testify about the charges he made. No surprise that it was a Clinton appointee who dismissed his case.
I understand he intends to appeal.
Great Graphics.......thanks for posting them!
My pleasure, Ma'am.
I understand that small words, short sentences and 'pictures' are the most effective in helping those coming down off of a 'Koolaid high'. It is my most fervent wish to somehow be able 'help' a few of those poor tortured (recovering liberal) souls.
