Are you ever a well needed breath of fresh air!!!
I rarely mention that I am Hispanic because it doesn't matter...I am an American first and foremost. I'm sick of the Mexicans buying into the same pile of crap. It is disturbing. I don't know why entire groups of people allow themselves to be treated like children that need constant supervision. It is sooo condescending and disrespectful.
“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,” Alfonzo says. “The Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist fraternity founded by the Democrat Party & their message was simple: vote or die. And when you vote, make sure it’s Democrat.”
Maybe in 2011, after originally being threatened to “vote Democrat or die”, African-Americans are perpetuating their Democratic tradition more out of habit than logic.
I posted Zo’s video on my page (for at least the 3rd time) and one of my Facebook friends, Jeff Stebelton, filled up my entire page with facts about the Civil Rights movement. AlfonZo even commented about Jeff’s post saying, “Thank you Jeff for posting the civil rights record of Republicans; a record the Democrats can’t touch. I hope every Republican who sees it and copies it for their records to remind Democrats what the real deal is.”
I agree with AlfonZo that every Republican and Democrat needs a reminder of who’s who in America—especially in light of the constant stream of racist accusations coming out of the White House. So below are the Civil Rights records of the Republican and Democratic Parties, starting with 1858 and ending with 1996. And at the bottom of the page is A...

I’m hearing chatter that this is going to be a very race card-driven election, so the best way we can combat their accusations is to arm ourselves with all the facts. We all need to know who we really are—and who they really are as well.

And let’s not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and someone Hillary Clinton has said is one of her heroes. Sanger said, “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population….”
Nope, you're wrong. You're just repeating rightist propaganda and you must of been a terrible student. Do you know anything about Southern Democrats??
"Southern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the American South. In the 19th century, they were the definitive pro-slavery wing of the party, opposed to both the anti-slavery Republicans (GOP) and the more liberal Northern Democrats.
Eventually "Redemption" was finalized in the Compromise of 1877 and the Redeemers gained control throughout the South. As the New Deal began to move Democrats as a whole to the left (at least economically), Southern Democrats largely stayed as conservative as they had always been, with some even breaking off to form farther right-wing splinters like the Dixiecrats.

After the Civil Rights Movement successfully challenged the Jim Crow laws and other forms of institutionalized racism, and after the Democrats as a whole came to symbolize the mainstream left of the United States, the form, if not the content, of Southern Democratic politics began to change.
After World War II, during the civil rights movement, Democrats in the South initially still voted loyally with their party. After the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, white voters who became tolerant of diversity began voting against Democratic incumbents for GOP candidates. The Republicans carried many Southern states for the first time since before the Great Depression. Rising educational levels and rising prosperity in the South, combined with shifts to the left by the national Democratic Party on a variety of socio-economic issues, led to widespread abandonment of the Democratic Party by white voters and Republican dominance in many Southern states by the 1990s and 2000s.
When Richard Nixon courted voters with his Southern Strategy, many Democrats became Republicans and the South became fertile ground for the GOP, which conversely was becoming more conservative as the Democrats were becoming more liberal. However, Democratic incumbents still held sway over voters in many states, especially those of the Deep South. In fact, until 2002, Democrats still had much control over Southern politics. It wasn't until the 1990s that Democratic control gradually collapsed, starting with the elections of 1994, in which Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress, through the rest of the decade. Southern Democrats of today who vote for the Democratic ticket are mostly urban liberals. Rural residents tend to vote for the Republican ticket, although there are a sizable number of Conservative Democrats.
A huge portion of Representatives, Senators, and voters who were referred to as Reagan Democrats in the 1980s were conservative Southern Democrats. An interesting exception to this trend is Arkansas, where to this day all but one statewide elected officials are Democrats. (The state has, however, given its electoral votes to the GOP in the past three Presidential elections, although in 1992 and 1996, "favorite son" Bill Clinton was the candidate and won each time.)
Another exception is North Carolina. Despite the fact that the state has voted for Republicans in every presidential election from 1980 until 2004, the governorship, legislature, as well as most statewide offices remain in Democratic control, and with the election of Heath Shuler in 2006, the congressional delegation once again is majority Democratic.
Today, Southern Democrats are conservative Democrats who follow the principles of a hawkish foreign policy, low taxation, fiscal conservatism, and support for legislating family values.
Regardless of these protests from both sides of society, many historians now believe that the 1964 Act was of major importance to America’s political and social development. The act has been called Johnson’s greatest achievement. He constantly referred to the morality of what he was doing and made constant reference to the immorality of the social structure within America that tolerated any form of discrimination. Johnson’s desire, regardless of his background, was to advance America’s society and he saw the 1964 Civil Rights Act as the way forward."
"That November, Minnesotans elected Humphrey to the United States Senate, making him the first Democrat from Minnesota ever elected to that exalted position. Apprenticeship to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, a savvy student of power, then in his ascendancy, helped Humphrey to gain eventual "admittance to the club." A voluble and passionate speaker, he could wind up a crowd in the best tradition of evangelistic oratory, and he was both admired and derided for it. Minnesotans re-elected Humphrey to the Senate in 1954 and in 1960, thus making possible his part in helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Humphrey served in the Senate until he was selected to be Lyndon Johnson's running mate in the presidential campaign of 1964. Johnson and Humphrey won, but the victory was bittersweet. It ushered in the most conflicted and disheartening years of his political career-years of being torn between his need to remain loyal to Johnson's policies and conduct of the Vietnam War, and his own uneasiness about the course the nation was on. His failure to take a clear stand against the war cost him dearly. When he ran for president in 1968, he lost to Richard Nixon by the slim margin of 1% of the popular vote."
"Democrats deserve credit for being the driving force behind the legislation, our experts said, particularly Johnson, who had only been in office for three months yet who staked his own re-election prospects on a tough, divisive legislative battle. Other crucial Democratic players were Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, who had been championing the issue of civil rights for a decade and a half.
But Republicans took leading positions as well, including Rep. Charles (Mac) Mathias of Maryland and Sen. Jacob Javits of New York. And during the 1950s, a Republican president, Dwight Eisenhower, had supported a civil rights legislation, though he never signed anything as sweeping as either the Civil Rights Act or the Voting Rights Act.
In the strategic challenge of getting the Civil Rights Act passed, Democrats knew that they would need to reach out to Republicans in order to overcome their own party's splits on the issue -- especially in the Senate, where a determined minority of one-third of the chamber could block consideration of a bill. (Today that number is two-fifths.)
The key to Senate passage of the Civil Rights Act was winning the support of Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, R-Ill., our experts said. By various accounts, Dirksen had some reservations with certain provisions of the Civil Rights Act, but Mansfield and Humphrey "worked very closely" with him, and "key parts of the bill were worked out in Dirksen’s office in the evenings," said U.S. Senate Historian Donald A. Ritchie. Other midwestern Republicans followed Dirksen's lead and supported the bill. Once the filibuster was broken, Time magazine put Dirksen on its cover."
Look pal.. YOU can spin it any way your little fancy tells you to.. ALL this LEFT WING dribble means nothing in the face of HISTORY..
Call them Conservative Democrats if that makes you FEEL better.. Call them Liberal Democrats if you want to.. Left Wing Democrat.. Right Wing Democrat.. One eyed Democrat or Democrats standing on one foot balancing an anvil on their nose..
They ALL have ONE thing in common.. No matter WHAT else you choose to call them,, they are DEMOCRATS and THAT name will FOREVER be linked to SLAVERY and the HISTORY of repression of Blacks in tis country..
They've been called Southern Democrats for decades, get used to it.
Those Southern Democrats would be Republicans today, racist Republicans. Those who deny history are trying to hide facts, and in your case the fact is racism.
They've been called Southern Democrats since the Democrats wanted to get out from under the STIGMA of their OWN History..
"Those Southern Democrats would be Republicans today"..
HA HA HA HA.... THAT the best you got?? Not surprising that an unsubstantiated CLAIM by a Left WInger would be called " History " and "Facts" by that loeft winger..
You KNOW who would have been a Republican today??
I'll GIVE you a HINT..
"Ask NOT what your country can do for YOU" THAT little collection of words would get JFK branded as a RIGHT WING NUT JOB today..
The DEMOCRATS would have political ADS out there showing a JFK Lookalike tossing an old lady in a wheel chair over a cliff..
You KNOW why you Democrats can't shake your OLONG and estqablished HISTORY of RACISM?? Why revisionism just isn't working like you want??
Because it's NOT just HISTORY.. The FACT is,, you haven't changed ONE DAMN BIT since the heyday of the KKK... YOU just changed your tactics..
He's trying to do the SAME thing that mich the Bitch does all the time.. He's trying to conflate the Literal Definitions of the terms "Conservative" and " Liberal " with the Political Definitions as they are used today.. THIS is as DISHONEST as trying to use Percentage RATES to indicate amounts.. ANOTHER politically LIBERAL tactic to turn LIES into the truth..
For instance.. In HIS use of the term in THIS instance,, it would be CONSERVATIVE to KEEP abortion LEGAL and resist ANY attempts to change the Law while we ALL know that POLKITICAL Conservatives,, ie: Republicans,, generally want to OUTLAW,, or at LEAST to minimize,, the barbaric practice......
In THIS case he THEN reverts to the POLITICAL definition of the terms and then tries to portray the two as ONE..
HENCE.. The HISTORY of the DEMOCRATS can NOW be blammed on the Republicans through the deceitful USE of the word,, Conservative..
Hey chief I'm white and totally agree with you. Heck when MY people came here they were treated nearly as badly as yours. Heck in order to get work they had to agree to wages less than a Black would accept.
He's telling the truth.. The FACT of the matter IS,, The Irish were often referred to and treated,, BY other white northerners,, as the " Northern Blacks"...
Yeah, I know, But his tone comes off as pandering. One doesn't need to overtly call attention to their bad treatment as a race. Most races have been enslaved or exploited in one way or another throughout history. Sorry if I offended anyone. J.Q.P Peace.
Wake up Gat. Blacks to the republicans are nothing but moochers and deadbeats. Romney made that clear at the fund raiser, that was video taped. Open your eyes Unc.
Typical RACIST Left Winger.. Romney never mentioned race in his entire speech.. Not ONCE.. Which can ONLY leave one to conclude that whenever the word "Moocher" is used,, it's means "BLACK" to YOU...
Romney doesn't need to mention race dufous. The 47% he speaks of are the unemployed. the under employed, and the old, and retired on SS. Blacks, and Hispanics lead the country in unemployment, and are well up on the welfare rolls. You know damn well who he's talking about
Sorry I do not see that.. I see the Republicans treating blacks as equals.. Not lesser bei gs that need lower testing standards, low jOb profotmance and welfare cause we are too dumb to be anything except a rapper or basketball player. Successful blacks run to the republicans and the Dems do not want us succesful
The Dems elected a black to the highest position in the US. I believe that's called success. Take a little trip to the southeastern part of the country. The home of the "GOOD OL BOYS", the redneck, Southern Baptist Republicans. Prejudice is just as real now than as it was before Civil Rights.
"The Dems elected a black to the highest position in the US."
GUILT is a TERRIBLE thing to bear.. Obama was elected BECAUSE he was a Black Man,, NOT to help the Black Community and CERTAINLY not because of his qualifications.... In DOING so,, The Dems. IGNORED the words of an even MORE revered Black Man..
Rouhly stated,,
" That a man ( or woman) should be judged on the content of his ( or her ) character and NOT because of the color of his ( or her ) skin.."
When America FAILS as it has under Obama,, the WORST to be hit by the consequences of that failure are,,
"the unemployed. the under employed, and the old, and retired on SS. Blacks, and Hispanics lead the country in unemployment"...
The Dems elected a white man to highest office,, he also is the son of a slave trader... Why do u dudes forgt zerO is half white n raised by whites? As far as the South, been there, very respectful ppl
Besides being a modern day Uncle Tom, you also seem to be color blind. Answer me this, Why do you pander to the ones who believe you're lower than a snakes ass?
I don't pander.. I left the Dem plantation yrs ago.. I am with my equals... As for unc Tom,, u r so white dem,,, dude he helped the slaves,,, damn dumbass
Uncle Tom was a fictional character dumb ass. Apparently the right wingers have taught you the fine art of re-writing history. Tell me, what does it feel like being a drone.
Duhhhh really, no""""" ur kidding right.. What an idiot you are.. I was talking about his character, and how the book was instrumental in teaching the horrors of slavery.. But to a Dem, that would be horrible.. A book that teaches how bad slavery is...
I wasn't aware President Clinton was the owner or shareholder of any company. Romney on the other hand was a pioneer of outsourcing. You're a typical RWNJ, attempting to rewrite history. Does your master, wealthy 1%, toss you a bone for your effort?
Democrats believe that "We All Belong to the Government". )))
That we are "Owned by the Government", aka SLAVES to the government.
The guy in this video explains really nicely what he believes in, as he said: because at "some point we have to be owned by somebody". )))

And let’s not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and someone Hillary Clinton has said is one of her heroes. Sanger said, “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population….”

"Southern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the American South. In the 19th century, they were the definitive pro-slavery wing of the party, opposed to both the anti-slavery Republicans (GOP) and the more liberal Northern Democrats.

After the Civil Rights Movement successfully challenged the Jim Crow laws and other forms of institutionalized racism, and after the Democrats as a whole came to symbolize the mainstream left of the United States, the form, if not the content, of Southern Democratic politics began to change.
After World War II, during the civil rights movement, Democrats in the South initially still voted loyally with their party. After the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, white voters who became tolerant of diversity began voting against Democratic incumbents for GOP candidates. The Republicans carried many Southern states for the first time since before the Great Depression. Rising educational levels and rising prosperity in the South, combined with shifts to the left by the national Democratic Party on a variety of socio-economic issues, led to widespread abandonment of the Democratic Party by white voters and Republican dominance in many Southern states by the 1990s and 2000s.
When Richard Nixon courted voters with his Southern Strategy, many Democrats became Republicans and the South became fertile ground for the GOP, which conversely was becoming more conservative as the Democrats were becoming more liberal. However, Democratic incumbents still held sway over voters in many states, especially those of the Deep South. In fact, until 2002, Democrats still had much control over Southern politics. It wasn't until the 1990s that Democratic control gradually collapsed, starting with the elections of 1994, in which Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress, through the rest of the decade. Southern Democrats of today who vote for the Democratic ticket are mostly urban liberals. Rural residents tend to vote for the Republican ticket, although there are a sizable number of Conservative Democrats.
A huge portion of Representatives, Senators, and voters who were referred to as Reagan Democrats in the 1980s were conservative Southern Democrats. An interesting exception to this trend is Arkansas, where to this day all but one statewide elected officials are Democrats. (The state has, however, given its electoral votes to the GOP in the past three Presidential elections, although in 1992 and 1996, "favorite son" Bill Clinton was the candidate and won each time.)
Another exception is North Carolina. Despite the fact that the state has voted for Republicans in every presidential election from 1980 until 2004, the governorship, legislature, as well as most statewide offices remain in Democratic control, and with the election of Heath Shuler in 2006, the congressional delegation once again is majority Democratic.
Today, Southern Democrats are conservative Democrats who follow the principles of a hawkish foreign policy, low taxation, fiscal conservatism, and support for legislating family values.

Regardless of these protests from both sides of society, many historians now believe that the 1964 Act was of major importance to America’s political and social development. The act has been called Johnson’s greatest achievement. He constantly referred to the morality of what he was doing and made constant reference to the immorality of the social structure within America that tolerated any form of discrimination. Johnson’s desire, regardless of his background, was to advance America’s society and he saw the 1964 Civil Rights Act as the way forward."

"That November, Minnesotans elected Humphrey to the United States Senate, making him the first Democrat from Minnesota ever elected to that exalted position. Apprenticeship to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, a savvy student of power, then in his ascendancy, helped Humphrey to gain eventual "admittance to the club." A voluble and passionate speaker, he could wind up a crowd in the best tradition of evangelistic oratory, and he was both admired and derided for it. Minnesotans re-elected Humphrey to the Senate in 1954 and in 1960, thus making possible his part in helping to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Humphrey served in the Senate until he was selected to be Lyndon Johnson's running mate in the presidential campaign of 1964. Johnson and Humphrey won, but the victory was bittersweet. It ushered in the most conflicted and disheartening years of his political career-years of being torn between his need to remain loyal to Johnson's policies and conduct of the Vietnam War, and his own uneasiness about the course the nation was on. His failure to take a clear stand against the war cost him dearly. When he ran for president in 1968, he lost to Richard Nixon by the slim margin of 1% of the popular vote."

"Democrats deserve credit for being the driving force behind the legislation, our experts said, particularly Johnson, who had only been in office for three months yet who staked his own re-election prospects on a tough, divisive legislative battle. Other crucial Democratic players were Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, who had been championing the issue of civil rights for a decade and a half.
But Republicans took leading positions as well, including Rep. Charles (Mac) Mathias of Maryland and Sen. Jacob Javits of New York. And during the 1950s, a Republican president, Dwight Eisenhower, had supported a civil rights legislation, though he never signed anything as sweeping as either the Civil Rights Act or the Voting Rights Act.
In the strategic challenge of getting the Civil Rights Act passed, Democrats knew that they would need to reach out to Republicans in order to overcome their own party's splits on the issue -- especially in the Senate, where a determined minority of one-third of the chamber could block consideration of a bill. (Today that number is two-fifths.)
The key to Senate passage of the Civil Rights Act was winning the support of Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, R-Ill., our experts said. By various accounts, Dirksen had some reservations with certain provisions of the Civil Rights Act, but Mansfield and Humphrey "worked very closely" with him, and "key parts of the bill were worked out in Dirksen’s office in the evenings," said U.S. Senate Historian Donald A. Ritchie. Other midwestern Republicans followed Dirksen's lead and supported the bill. Once the filibuster was broken, Time magazine put Dirksen on its cover."

Call them Conservative Democrats if that makes you FEEL better.. Call them Liberal Democrats if you want to.. Left Wing Democrat.. Right Wing Democrat.. One eyed Democrat or Democrats standing on one foot balancing an anvil on their nose..
They ALL have ONE thing in common.. No matter WHAT else you choose to call them,, they are DEMOCRATS and THAT name will FOREVER be linked to SLAVERY and the HISTORY of repression of Blacks in tis country..
Those Southern Democrats would be Republicans today, racist Republicans.
Those who deny history are trying to hide facts, and in your case the fact is racism.
"Those Southern Democrats would be Republicans today"..
HA HA HA HA.... THAT the best you got?? Not surprising that an unsubstantiated CLAIM by a Left WInger would be called " History " and "Facts" by that loeft winger..
You KNOW who would have been a Republican today??
I'll GIVE you a HINT..
"Ask NOT what your country can do for YOU"
THAT little collection of words would get JFK branded as a RIGHT WING NUT JOB today..
The DEMOCRATS would have political ADS out there showing a JFK Lookalike tossing an old lady in a wheel chair over a cliff..
You KNOW why you Democrats can't shake your OLONG and estqablished HISTORY of RACISM??
Why revisionism just isn't working like you want??
Because it's NOT just HISTORY.. The FACT is,, you haven't changed ONE DAMN BIT since the heyday of the KKK... YOU just changed your tactics..
LMAO.... He'd kill you for that probably...
For instance.. In HIS use of the term in THIS instance,, it would be CONSERVATIVE to KEEP abortion LEGAL and resist ANY attempts to change the Law while we ALL know that POLKITICAL Conservatives,, ie: Republicans,, generally want to OUTLAW,, or at LEAST to minimize,, the barbaric practice......
In THIS case he THEN reverts to the POLITICAL definition of the terms and then tries to portray the two as ONE..
HENCE.. The HISTORY of the DEMOCRATS can NOW be blammed on the Republicans through the deceitful USE of the word,, Conservative..
I just don't agree that an EMPATHY stemming from similar circumstances necessarilly constitutes pandering..
Take a little trip to the southeastern part of the country. The home of the "GOOD OL BOYS", the redneck, Southern Baptist Republicans. Prejudice is just as real now than as it was before Civil Rights.
GUILT is a TERRIBLE thing to bear.. Obama was elected BECAUSE he was a Black Man,, NOT to help the Black Community and CERTAINLY not because of his qualifications.... In DOING so,, The Dems. IGNORED the words of an even MORE revered Black Man..
Rouhly stated,,
" That a man ( or woman) should be judged on the content of his ( or her ) character and NOT because of the color of his ( or her ) skin.."
When America FAILS as it has under Obama,, the WORST to be hit by the consequences of that failure are,,
"the unemployed. the under employed, and the old, and retired on SS. Blacks, and Hispanics lead the country in unemployment"...
As far as the South, been there, very respectful ppl
