National Black Republican Association is calling on the Democratic Party to apologize for a 50-year history of racism. They call the Democratic Party, “the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism.”
From Examiner.com:
The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) has issued a petition requesting President Obama to issue a proclamation of apology to black Americans for the Democrat Party’s 150-year history of racism in America. The organization’s current newsletter, “The Democratic Party Owes Blacks an Apology” by Chairman Frances Rice, outlines the reasons for the petition.
The NBRA is not asking this of our government, our country, American citizens, nor the Republican Party. They are asking it solely from the Democrat Party. Further, they ask Democrats to stop “issuing unwarranted apologies on behalf of America, while simultaneously using racial politics for partisan political gain.”
The organization places the blame for current racial divides in America at the feet of the Democrat Party. In the newsletter, they contend the Democrat Party is “the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism.”
They believe the socialist policies of the Democrat Party harm blacks, rather than help them, and serve to further racial tensions through victim-mongering.
The National White Republicans want the Democrats to apologise for the Civil Rights Act signed by President Johnson. Touche'.
ReplyDeleteThis is stupid. If you want to have the discussion about which party really wants to help the poor and minorities, this is not the way to accomplish it.

Let's review some facts:
The bill was reported out of the Judiciary Committee in November 1963, and referred to the Rules Committee, whose chairman, Howard W. Smith, a Democrat from Virginia, indicated his intention to keep the bill bottled up indefinitely.
And the vote:
The original House version:[9]
* Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)
* Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)
The Senate version:[9]
* Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%)
* Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9]
* Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
* Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)
Democrats tried to block the bill and almost 40% voted against it. This hardly erases the history of the Democratic Party. Lincoln was a Republican.
To which President Johnson replied that we "Democrats" have lost the South for a generation. Sadly it has been longer than that but thanks to President Obama, a black guy who is a DEMOCRAT, we've shown that we as a Party are working through and overcoming bigoted attitudes that still exist in our Nation.
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party in response picks Michael Steele to be it's national chairman. Then promptly ignores any thing he tries to do. But of course the movers and shakers force him to apologise to Rush Limbaugh for telling the truth about him being an entertainer. Heaven forbid anyone, let alone a fellow Republican, force truth on Rush Limbaugh.
