West once again nails it.
I love West. He used to be a FReeper, don’t know if he still is. Why, when we have such as he and Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell did we end up with Zero as our first black president?
I met West in the lobby at the big FReeper confab we had years ago. What an event!
I’ll tell you why: “Uncle Toms need not apply.’
As Rush says, it’s really the NAALCP. The L is for liberal.
Must see documentary movie “Hillary’s America”.
The democrat party has racist history and roots going back to Abe Lincoln era.
“He stood in opposition to Al Gore Sr. and KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd whom Bill Clinton praised at his funeral/memorial service.”
Wasn’t that Trent Lott who got thrown under the bus for praising Byrd?
“Truman...lost reelection due to a lack of support”
Really? What election was that
No, it was Strom Thurman.....
What I fundamentally don’t understand is how the level of shootings in inner cities is tolerated by Democratic governments, unless it actually is some means of population control (note: it’s also very lucrative for country hospitals and their employees). If that was happening in a white neighborhood, the National Guard would be called in, believe it.
You are right. I stand corrected. Perfect example as what he said really wasn’t all that bad, but the media was able to blow it completely out of proportion costing Lott his job

Read up on Margaret Sanger.
There has to be more to it than the above, of course. That's just my partial theory.
Lincoln hated blacks.
That Lincoln hated blacks might be an exaggeration. He did consider them hopelessly inferior to whites. Doubters can refer to the Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Lincoln’s patron, Horace Greeley, published Karl Marx for years in America’s leading newspaper, and Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, a hot topic around the time of the Civil War, lent credence to Lincoln’s inclination.
But Lincoln had met with many Negroes and was compassionate toward their pleas that they felt like Americans who could never be at home again in Africa.
Which was a common belief then. Like kids today believe that global warming...errr...climate change is real because that's what they are taught.
And then Liberia was invented.
Lincoln hated blacks.
Liberia was invented before Lincoln.
(BTW, I’ve been there)
More than other Americans of his generation?
He seemed able to get along with African-Americans -- including those of high standing in the community -- better than many of his contemporaries.
