Setting the Record Straight about Which Party is More Racist

RESIZE: AAA

Which Party did Abraham Lincoln belong to?

Was Lincoln for or against slavery?

Which Party’s Majority Overwhelmingly Voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964′s the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission?

Example: “The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill. In fact, since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes.”

“the Senate passed the bill by a 73 to 27 roll call vote. Six Republicans and 21 Democrats held firm and voted against passage. In all, the the 1964 civil rights debate had lasted a total of 83 days, slightly over 730 hours, and had taken up almost 3,000 pages in the Congressional Record.”- Congresslink.org

    Great history, jeremy.

    One more thought to all of that: liberals in particular and Democrats in general “pitch” to the black community via their support for ever-expanding government benefits. I believe the effect of this has been to create and maintain an ever-expanding seemingly permanent underclass within the black community consisting of people who have learned to live in reliance on government largesse as a lifestyle.

    And don’t get me started on the implicit if not overt racism inherent in Planned Parenthood.

    Although to me Herman Cain’s race is not on my list of reasons to support him as a presidential candidate, the fact is that he (along with people like the head of the Black Chamber of Commerce — whose name I cannot bring to mind on my first cup of coffee) can stand before the black community as a beacon showing the way forward for the black community through individual effort and free enterprise.
