Which political party in America is typically associated with RACIAL EQUALITY and CIVIL RIGHTS ?
Most Americans would say the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Right ?
But that's not correct.
Check out the history...
The 1828 Presidential election was won by Andrew Jackson. Jackson had a very pig-headed, stubborn temperament so some of his critics branded him "JACK - ASS" or DONKEY. So when he founded the Democratic Party in 1829, the DONKEY become its symbol. Ever since 1829, the US Democratic Party have fought against every major Civil Rights initiative and it has a long history of racial discrimination.
Here are some examples of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S racist world-view...
* THEY EMPHATICALLY DEFENDED SLAVERY.
* THEY STARTED A BLOODY CIVIL WAR WHICH WOULD CLAIM 620,000 LIVES.
*THEY STRIDENTLY OPPOSED RECONSTRUCTION.
*THEY FOUNDED THE KU KLUX KLAN.
*THEY IMPOSED LEGALIZED SEGREGATION.
*THEY PERPETRATED LYNCHINGS.
* THEY STRENUOUSLY FOUGHT THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACTS OF THE 1950's AND 1960's.
In contrast, the REPUBLICAN PARTY was founded (in 1854) as an explicitly anti - slavery Party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new Western territories, with the aim of ultimately abolishing it entirely.
This goal was, however, dealt a major blow in 1857. That was the year that the Supreme Court heard the case of "Dredd Scott vs Sandford" and ruled that slaves were not citizens, rather, they were mere property ("chattel"). The rulining was carried by a 7 to 2 majority - 7 DEMOCRAT justices over 2 dissenting REPUBLICAN justices.
The slavery question was ultimately decided on the battlefields of the Civil War between 1861 and 1865. In this bloody conflict 620,000 men lost their lives. The Commander in Chief was the first Republican President Abraham Lincoln. In 1863 Lincoln issued a "Proclaimation of Emancipation" officially freeing all Black slaves.
Lincoln's Union Army won the war, when the Commander of the Confederate States Army, General Robert E. Lee, finally surrendered on the 9th April, 1865. Just six days later, John Wilkes Booth, a DEMOCRAT, assassinated President Lincoln. Linoln's Vice President, Andrew Johnson, ANOTHER DEMOCRAT, then assumed the Presidency.
Johnson adamantly opposed the plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the South's social and economic order. In addition, Johnson and his DEMOCRATIC PARTY were unified in their opposition to...
* The 13th Amendment (1865) which abolished slavery.
* The 14th Amendment (1866) which gave Blacks citizenship.
* The 15th Amendment (1869) which gave Blacks the vote.
All three passed only because of UNIVERSAL Republican support.
During the Reconstruction (1865 - 1877) Federal troops stationed in the South helped secure Rights for the newly freed slaved. Hundreds of Black men were elected to Southern States' legislatures as REPUBLICANS, and by 1900, there were 22 Black Republicans serving in Congress. The Democrat did not elect a Black man to Congress until 1935.
The Reconstruction ended when the Federal troops returned home. DEMOCRATS roared back into power in the South and quickly re-established White Supremacy across the region. They used measures like BLACK CODES, laws that restricted the ability of Blacks to own property and run businesses and they imposed Poll Taxes and Literary tests used to subvert Black citizens' Right to vote.
So, how was this enforced ?
By terror.
Mostly terror instigated by the Ku Klux Klan, first founded by the DEMOCRAT, Nathan Bedford Forrest (the organization's first "Grand Wizard"). The original Klan was a military force serving the interests of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, in fact, the affliation between the two groups was even more intimate than that. the boundary between the Klan and the Democratic party was very blurry indeed. Horse-mounted Klansman embarked on violent night raids during which they based whipped and murdered many Blacks. By the early 1880's, though, the Klan had mostly disappeared; this was because during the 1870's its campaign of terror had effectively achieved its goal, namely, the restoration of White Supremacy throughout the South.
The Klan re-emerged in the 20th century; it was re-instituted by a DEMOCRAT, William Joseph Simmons in Atlanta, Georgia in 1915. The founding of the second Ku Klux Klan was largely inspired by a film that was released that year called, "The Birth of a Nation". This film was produced and directed by D. W. Griffiths and largely based on a play called "Clansman" written by a Southern lawyer and DEMOCRAT, Thomas Dixon. Dixon was an old friend of Woodrow Wilson who was POTUS in 1915. Dixon managed to arrange for a private showing of "The Birth of a Nation" for President Wilson (it was to be very first time a motion piction had been screened inside the White House) before its release later that year. "The Birth of a Nation", was, of course, a silent film and used "title cards" as a substitute for spoken dialogue. Woodrow Wilson would have been flattered that a number of the film's "title card" were direct quotations from his five-volume work, "A History of the American People" (1902). Here is one example...
"The white men were roused by the instinct of mere self - preservation... until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern country"
Woodrow Wilson praised "The Birth of a Nation" as being ," like history written with lightening." It's intensely racist content aside, "The Birth of a Nation" was, it must be said, a groundbreaking work of art in terms of its masterful and innovative cinematography, and when it was released for the public it became Hollywood's first ever blockbuster. It is still rated by authorities in the world of motion pictures among the greatest of the 20th century's feature films. No doubt Woodrow Wilson was dazzled as well by this aspect of "The Birth of a Nation." Woodrow Wilson was a big fan of Jim Crow laws and had even segregated fis own Federal agencies, but "The Birth of a Nation" became a part of the edifice of the Jim Crow regime that would legalise segregation for the next 40 years.
In the 1920's the membership of the Ku Klux Klan reached around 6,000,000.
A few decades after the time racist Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, in the 1960's the Democratic Party were still a racist organization. For instance, the only serious Congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from the Party of the Jack-ass. Eighty percent of Republicans supported the Bill, while less than 70% of the Democrats did. Democrat Senators filibustered the Bill for 75 days until the Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the log - jam.
So, when all their efforts to enslave Blacks and keep them from voting failed, the Democratic Party came up with a new strategy: if Black people are going to vote, they might as well vote Democrat. As Democrar President Lyndon Johnson put it...
"I'll have them niggers voting Democrat for 200 years."
Now the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the people it spent most of its history persecuting and oppressing. Democrat politicians falsely claim it is the Republicans who are the villains: the racists, the fascists, the NAZIs. But in reality, it is the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept America's Blacks down, for example...
* Massive government Welfare has decimated the Black family. The "heroin" of welfare dependency, has, among other harms, created as astronomically high rate of single mother Black families; and Black children (in particular boys) who grow up in a family without fathers are, in the majority of cases, doomed to a future of poor life outcomes: mental health problems, poverty, crime, drug abuse/addiction, incarceration, etc.
* Opposition to school choice has kept black youth trapped in failing schools.
* Politically Correct policing has left Black neighbourhoods defenceless against violent crime.
* The Woke ideology and leftist sociologists and the modern Democratic Party, have promulgated poisonous notion like: Systemic/institutional racism; While Privelige; "Microaggresions", Whiteness is a form of property, unconscious racism,Reparations, the Police have it out for Blacks, The United States was created to protect and promote slavery. This all simply encourages Blacks to adopt the mantle of victimhood, and victimhood is ALWAYS a dead end . Given a smorgasboard of reasons that can be seized and used as excuses to explain why they are not succeeding, Blacks will never realise that they must take responsibility for their own lives and actions. They will remain blinded to the fact that they are living in a land of infinite possibilities and opportunities. Addicted to government welfare programes and benefits, they will lack the impetus to work hard and make something worthwhile or even amazing of their lives. BUT THE DEMOCRATS DON'T EVER WANT BLACKS TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
In 2021, the Democratic Party is no different to the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s, they simply use different instruments to keep Blacks down. Instead of the whip and the noose, the use Federal welfare programs and government benefits and endless narratives of cultural Marxist/Woke victimhood.
