This is, of course, part of the message that will be spread by our fledgling sister-organization, the New Wide Awakes. That organization is not quite ready to launch yet, but its nascent existence, and some of its future messages, can be seen here.

Things have been a mess for far too long. It isn't right, it isn't what America is meant to be, and it needs to change!

To quote the reparations crowd, “I want my money!”

Democrats are still racists that judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character. It is just that now they believe that non-whites deserve special treatment as opposed to white getting preferential treatment prior to the 1960s.

>>The long sordid racist history of America’s Democrat Party is indisputable. In fact, it is so shameful that the DNC’s own website doesn’t mention their promotion of slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, the KKK, or the MANY other acts committed from 1820 (Missouri Compromise) through 1957, when Senate Democrats again blocked (Republican) President Eisenhower’s Civil Rights Bill.<<

Good article. Unfortunately, many of these sorts have now come over to the Republican Party. They may be seen here at FR still bemoaning the takeover over of the Democratic Party by the left.

It’s a good article but but it seems like blacks are considered mindless pawns who have no capacity to make their own political decisions. They are “forced to suffer” and all that.

There are only two real possibilities here:

1.) Blacks are largely so dumb they vote for the party that did all it could to keep them enslaved.

2.) Blacks are largely Socialist Democrats by choice.

Of course, #2 is the correct answer.

Africans sold them into slavery, the British bought them, brought them here. End history

America wasn’t America when the British first came.

Another good related article recently posted, just in case some missed it:

The Democratic Party Thinks Blacks Are Stupid

Lots of history about Democrats and racism in it.

The Drinking Fountain

I hadn’t felt that depressed since I was caught drinking from the middle fountain at Newcastle Elementary School.

One of the wrong girls had sipped from that fountain and, by the time my classmates saw that I’d touched the same knob, they spread the news throughout the entire playground! I wasn’t sure what had happened, but the consensus of laughter and ridicule made it clear that I now suffered a severe case of the cooties.

I rushed home in tears to my mother, only to have her laugh and tell me to go play.

But a strange and wonderful thing happened when I returned to school the next week. I discovered that by joining the anti-cootie party and not being friendly to certain classmates, I could inoculate myself against further cootie outbreaks. None of this made sense to me, but I was too desperate for the cure to ask questions.

I had to laugh at this one - it reminded me of something that happened to me when I was a kid. My mom and I were at a bus station in the 50's (when segregated water fountains were common) and I went to get a drink of water. A man remarked to my mom that I had drunk from the water fountain marked "Colored Only". "It's alright," my mother replied, "he can't read!"

LOLOL!!!!!! What a classic (and classy) response.

I think it goes to the core of why public schools no longer focus on American History.

If they did, the students would learn which political party was heavily invested in maintaining slavery. They’d know which party nominated a candidate in the 1864 election against Lincoln, on a ‘peace platform’ that allowed for slavery to continue in the South, and would negotiate a settlement to the war that would allow the Confederacy to break away from the Union.

They’d know which party blocked Civil Rights legislation. They’d know which party voted for a Senate Majority Leader in the 1960’s that used to not only wear a hood and sheet while dancing around a burning cross, but was also one of its most renowned recruiters for the KKK.

They’d learn who authorized domestic spying on Martin Luther King.

News Flash:
Slavery has been going on for ever. Probably at least since the time of Nimrod.
And who knows what was going on prior to the Flood.
Slavery derives its name from the 'Slavs' who were enslaved (or 'enserfed') in great masses by their overlords. I don't hear them demanding reparations.

Get over the past. Man is desperately wicked, and there is none righteous - so its no surprise that wickedness has occurred in the past and occurs in the present. There is only peace and freedom in Christ - not in man.

Rather than bemoaning the ills of the past, these folks out to strive to stamp out the slavery of today. Go beat on the Africans and Arabs who enslave folks in the Sudan and other places in that region. Go stamp out tyrannies such as that goon in North Korea who enslaves his entire country.

And if they really want to spread freedom -- preach Christ...

Children can be so damn mean. How'd you like to be the "wrong" girl who only wants to go to school and have friends, just like everybody else?
