Nothing we didn’t know, but nice to see it all laid out in one place. Good bit of writing.

The NBRA has really been sticking it to the Rats. Frances Rice in particular has their number. They are breaking down the old perceptions with the facts and the truth.

A book that is well worth reading is They Think You're Stupid by Herman Cain.

Herman Cain is a real gem. I wish we could talk him into moving to TN and running for US Senate.....

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.

They’d have to be stupid to continue to kow tow to the democrats the way they do. It’s embarrassing. The dems throw out a crumb now and then and laugh all the way to the bank and voting booth.

If they automatically vote democrat, because thats they way its always been, then who can argue with their intelligence?

The Dem’s and the DBM play them for suckers... and they have had great success with it for over 40 years.

As author Michael Scheurer so succinctly stated, history shows that the Democratic Party is the party of the four S's: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism

Is the same Michael Scheurer of CIA fame?

In 1960 the Nixon received fortyfive percent of the Black vote. Now the GOP considers itself lucky if it gets ten percent. What happened? It's true the Donkey Party latched onto the civil rights issues and made issues concerning Black Americans their preeminent issues...for that time. It's also true that the Republicans lost a lot of Black support when Barry Goldwater, the GOP prez candidate in 1964 opposed the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.

The Dems could then tell Black voters "see, the Republicans are all a bunch of racists". That was even though Goldwater was not a racist and opposed the bill on principle (years later he regretted his opposition to the bill). And that was even though most southern Dem senators opposed the bill. Goldwater was crushed by LBJ in the '64 election, and Republicans received a far lower percentage of Black voters than in 1960.

The Republican Party has never recovered from that disastrous loss of a sizable percentage of Blacks. The Dem Party has convinced Black voters that only the paternalistic policies of the Dems can help them. Even though most of those policies have been unmitigated disasters for Black people. It will be a long uphill struggle to regain the same percentage of Black Republicans as the party had in 1960.

They voted for Bill Clinton. They support Hillary Clinton as Bill laughed at Ron Brown’s death until the camera hit him.

Excellent article.

"including Democrat Atlanta Mayor Lester Maddox"

Maddox was Governor of Georgia from '67-'71 (and Carter's Lt Governor from '71-'75), but never Mayor of Atlanta.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THINKS BLACKS ARE STUPID!

Only one thing wrong, it's the Democrat not Democratic Party.
