Turns out Herman Cain may have been onto something when he said blacks have been brainwashed into voting for democrats. MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton has made it clear he is one of those people Cain was talking about. Sharpton claimed on his show Friday night that democrats supported the Civil Rights act of 1964, problem is, more republicans supported the bill than democrats. The Klu Klux Klan was also founded by democrats and democrats threw Martin Luther King Jr. in jail.
Media Research Center's Noel Sheppard explains:
The House version of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by only 61 percent of that Chamber's Democrats versus 80 percent of the Republicans.More importantly, it was Republicans that ended a Democrat filibuster preventing a vote on this bill in the Senate. 82 percent of Republicans voted for cloture versus 66 percent of Democrats.
In the final Senate vote on the Act, 82 percent of Republicans voted "Aye" versus 69 percent of Democrats.
The same is true for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 when 94 percent of Senate Republicans voted in favor of the bill versus 73 percent of Democrats. The final vote on the House's version was even more stark as only one Senate Republican voted against it compared to seventeen Democrats.
In the House, 82 percent of Republicans supported the bill versus 78 percent of Democrats.
Sharpton Doesn't Know Higher Percentage of Republicans Than Democrats Voted for Civil Rights Act
Also, Sharpton recently debated Herman Cain's "blackness," with Professor Karen Hunter on his radio show, saying Cain isn't trying to get black votes but trying to impress the Right.

And now, I give you Alfonzo Rachel, who wonders why blacks are so loyal to democrats.
The Democrat party has been the pro-slavery party, the pro-segregation party, the anti-civil rights party, but the majority of the black community votes democrat.
Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats
People as a collective has the attention span of a 2 year old. What counts is how much free sh** you can get and who is giving it.
Al Sharpton definitely knows the facts. He just knows that a majority of urban blacks educated in public schools aka Holder’s people don’t. That is whom he was speaking to.
In other words, he was intentionally lying to the people he claims to care for...
Two words fat boy.....TAWANY BRAWLEY look it up! Lives and careers ruined because this piece of garbage pushed a lie for his own benefit. SCUM
He’s so brainwashed that you can still see the suds flowing out of his ears.

AlfonZo Rachel on target as usual. Excellent video!
That last link (Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats) is fabulous. Everybody should view it.
And you might be interested in a little thing I wrote on the topic too, called “A Short History of Democrats, Republicans, and Racism,” at
We really need to wake people to the historical truth.
Dems kept Byrd's KKK membership a secret for years too... How'd they get away with such a blatant lie? ... The MSM covered for them.
Hey Sharpton - dems have played you for a fool - again - and again - and again.
Nothing is free, the poor souls who think they are pulling one over and gaming the system are just too out of touch to realize it.
“BUT RESIST WE MUCH, WE MUST, AND WE WILL MUCH, ABOUT THAT, BE COMMITTED!”

I’m sure sharpton knew the facts. He’s a typical, pathological democrat LIAR who doesn’t want any slaves to get off HIS plantation.
I posted this the other day:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2789024/posts
The fact is that the Northeastern Democrats during reconstruction didn’t want the black in the south voting. They new that due to the number of BLACK REPUBLICANS the Dems would not control anything.
The Democrat President who had made a deal with “moderate Repubs” (aka RINOS) turned on them and went along with the noethern Dems to prevent Blacks as FREEDMEN from getting a vote.
The RINOS fearing the RADICAL REPUBS cut a deal.
Democrats and RINOS are a danger to everyones freedom.
I believe it was Muslim slave traders who captured Africans and sold them into slavery. Yet young Blacks take Muslim names and follow the cult of Islam and the cult of the Black Muslims (beliefs drastically different).
When will they learn their own history, instead of always blaming the country where they found freedom, unlike many Blacks in Africa who live in horrible situations/
“The House version of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by only 61 percent of that Chamber’s Democrats versus 80 percent of the Republicans.
More importantly, it was Republicans that ended a Democrat filibuster preventing a vote on this bill in the Senate. 82 percent of Republicans voted for cloture versus 66 percent of Democrats.
In the final Senate vote on the Act, 82 percent of Republicans voted “Aye” versus 69 percent of Democrats.”
This is a fool’s game. The Democratic and Republican parties of 1964 were much different than they are today.
The GOP was dominated by its liberal wing which actively worked to defeat Barry Goldwater. Goldwater voted against those bills. Those bills were pushed by the likes of Rockefeller, Javits, Mathias, Brooke, Case, Scranton, Percy, George Romney.
The Democrats of that time had a large conservative bloc consisting of southern and western Democrats. They were a major portion of “the conservative coalition” which ruled Congress from the late 1930s on and had played a major role in frustrating FDR’s New Deal.
But apparently today all that counts is party designation, and if that obscures the past well we will just go with the myth over the facts.
Do you mind if I pass this on to my e-pals?
Of course not. Go for it!
Thanks
OK. Someone who knows what they are talking about.
From kaslin: “I believe it was Muslim slave traders who captured Africans and sold them into slavery. Yet young Blacks take Muslim names and follow the cult of Islam and the cult of the Black Muslims (beliefs drastically different).”
Actually, the initial capture was usually a more powerful African tribe taking anyone they could and selling to the highest or handiest bidder. Thomas Sowell mentioned that these African slavers sold roughly the same number of slaves to the Arabs as were shipped to the New World: about 15 million each way.
America has millions of descendants of this shameful trade living free and many holding office (No, I do not include our President; black he may be, descended from American slaves, he ain’t).
Where are the modern day remnants of the Arab slave trade? Easy answer, they outdid us as far as horrific treatment of slaves. They worked them to death. Literally. Each and every slave they marched across Africa died without legacy.
And this “religion of peace” wants to rule the world.
