Race and the Modern GOP

Not at all. The Left assuming that a police officer shooting Brown HAD to be White and therefore HAD to be a racist and a murderous racist at that was a prime example of Dem Party membership and across the board . . . racism.

 

Colorado and Washington, even Coumo is thinking about it if only for medical purposes.

I was referring to racism.

 

Thats because that was about the time that liberal (*)(*)(*)(*)head propogandists invented it by piecing together disjointed quotes to create something thst didn't exist. Nixon ceeded the deep south to Humphrey and Wallace. His strategy was to focus on the boarder states snd Florida.

Just because you can write a long fricking wiki and polieceit like storm troopers doesn't make your fantasies true.

 

My family historically, and almost (almost) exclusively, voted Republican until Kennedy. After that, as the article points out, the GOP made a conscious decision to go for the scare-the-white-folks vote. I remember my grandfather protesting, against all evidence, that the GOP's turning to the dark side was just an aberration that would subside after 'this election'. Unfortunately by his death even he had conceded the obvious. Part of the tragedy is that over the years he and others his age in the fam had suffered so much (beatings, intimidation, Jim Crow, etc) to even cast a vote and that that party had thrown him overboard for the bigot vote. Broke his heart.

Yeah lol

 

How can you tell when a leftist is lying?.........

 

#1 They are talking.
#2 They are especially talking about history.

 

I don't have to prove a damn thing to you. What you claimed was just stupid. Get it together. At least make an effort to be informed and live in the real world.

 

Looking in the piece of trash article it does a quick turn of logic to spin the story.

With 0 attribution it claims that GOP insiders looked to Nixon and Wallace share of the vote as proof of growing conservatism then it dumps Wallace from the equation and simply says 'Nixon and the republicans had claimed the Lions share of the souths electoral votes for the first time in history'

This spin of logic quickly dumps Wallace into the republican camp with no support what so ever and provides the logical suppirt for the entire article.

But....

ITS PURE MADE UP BULL(*)(*)(*)(*)!!!

 

The book "The End of Southern Exceptionalism" is the controlling source on this myth. Analysis of voter patterns show in the south shows that the lower and middle class racist whites the liberal liars rant about didn't start consistently voting republican until the 90s.

What happened was economic growth in the south as industry fled the blue states and a suburban class grew. That suburban class votes on economic issues not racial ones and it votes republican.

The southern strategy is a myth. It isnt at all supported by an in depth examination of voting behavior. It just helps libersls feel better about their recist past.

 

Again I don't think you know what you are talking about.

1. No more Democrats voted for it
Here is the break down of Yays and Nays. Notice something.
The Senate version, voted on by the House:[20]

Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)

Fleshed out

The original House version:

Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:

Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

Most of the southern democrats become the modern Republican party that this article is talking about.

So who is lying?

 

History can be an annoying, pernicious thing. Especially for those who try to hide it.

When I read that a high school in the South was going to drop its racist, confederate name, I immediately thought of Democrats Strom Thurmond or Robert Byrd, who were Klan members and staunch segregationists.

But no … the school is Nathan B. Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Forrest was a Confederate General and a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

Gen. Forrest was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention. In fact, the KKK was founded by Democrats to terrorize blacks and white Republicans.

The history of the Democratic Party is rooted in racism, violence, lynchings and bigotry. The National Review published an article detailing the racist history of the Democratic Party:

May 22, 1856: Two years after the Grand Old party’s birth, U.S. Senator Charles Sumner (R., Mass.) rose to decry pro-slavery Democrats. Congressman Preston Brooks (D., S.C.) responded by grabbing a stick and beating Sumner unconscious in the Senate chamber. Disabled, Sumner could not resume his duties for three years.

July 30, 1866: New Orleans’s Democratic government ordered police to raid an integrated GOP meeting, killing 40 people and injuring 150.

September 28, 1868: Democrats in Opelousas, Louisiana killed nearly 300 blacks who tried to foil an assault on a Republican newspaper editor.

October 7, 1868: Republicans criticized Democrats’ national slogan: “This is a white man’s country: Let white men rule.”

April 20, 1871: The GOP Congress adopted the Ku Klux Klan Act, banning the pro-Democrat domestic terrorist group.

October 18, 1871: GOP President Ulysses S. Grant dispatched federal troops to quell Klan violence in South Carolina.

September 14, 1874: Racist white Democrats stormed Louisiana’s statehouse to oust GOP Governor William Kellogg’s racially integrated administration; 27 are killed.

August 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Senator Hugo Black (D., Al.), a former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges.

February 2005: The Democrats’ Klan-coddling today is embodied by KKK alumnus Robert Byrd, West Virginia’s logorrheic U.S. senator and, having served since January 3, 1959, that body’s dean. Thirteen years earlier, Byrd wrote this to the KKK’s Imperial Wizard: “The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.” Byrd led Senate Democrats as late as December 1988. On March 4, 2001, Byrd told Fox News’s Tony Snow: “There are white (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s. I’ve seen a lot of white (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s in my time; I’m going to use that word.” National Democrats never have arranged a primary challenge against or otherwise pressed this one-time cross-burner to get lost.

Contrast the KKKozy Democrats with the GOP. When former Klansman David Duke ran for Louisiana governor in 1991 as a Republican, national GOP officials scorned him. Local Republicans endorsed incumbent Democrat Edwin Edwards, despite his ethical baggage. As one Republican-created bumper sticker pleaded: “Vote for the crook: It’s important!”

Republicans also have supported legislation favorable to blacks, often against intense Democratic headwinds:

In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators and 78 percent of House members voted: “No.”

In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: “No.”

February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black voters federal protection.

February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress repealed the GOP’s Enforcement Act, denying black voters federal protection.

January 26, 1922: The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer’s (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure.

May 17, 1954: As chief justice, former three-term governor Earl Warren (R., Calif.) led the U.S. Supreme Court’s desegregation of government schools via the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. GOP President Dwight Eisenhower’s Justice Department argued for Topeka, Kansas’s black school children. Democrat John W. Davis, who lost a presidential bid to incumbent Republican Calvin Coolidge in 1924, defended “separate but equal” classrooms.

September 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.).

May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats.

July 2, 1964: Democratic President Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act after former Klansman Robert Byrd’s 14-hour filibuster and the votes of 22 other Senate Democrats (including Tennessee’s Al Gore, Sr.) failed to scuttle the measure. Illinois Republican Everett Dirksen rallied 26 GOP senators and 44 Democrats to invoke cloture and allow the bill’s passage. According to John Fonte in the January 9, 2003, National Review, 82 percent of Republicans so voted, versus only 66 percent of Democrats.

True, Senator Barry Goldwater (R., Ariz.) opposed this bill the very year he became the GOP’s presidential standard-bearer. However, Goldwater supported the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts and called for integrating Arizona’s National Guard two years before Truman desegregated the military. Goldwater feared the 1964 Act would limit freedom of association in theprivate sector, a controversial but principled libertarian objection rooted in the First Amendment rather than racial hatred.

June 29, 1982: President Ronald Reagan signed a 25-year extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Republican party also is the home of numerous “firsts.” Among them:

Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America’s first black U.S. Representative, South Carolina’s Joseph Rainey, and our first black senator, Mississippi’s Hiram Revels, both reached Capitol Hill in 1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart “P.B.S.” Pinchback became America’s first black governor.

August 8, 1878: GOP supply-siders may hate to admit it, but America’s first black Collector of Internal Revenue was former U.S. Rep. James Rapier (R., Ala.).

October 16, 1901: GOP President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White House as its first black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T. Washington. The pro-Democrat Richmond Times newspaper warned that consequently, “White women may receive attentions from Negro men.” As Toni Marshall wrote in the November 9, 1995, Washington Times, when Roosevelt sought reelection in 1904, Democrats produced a button that showed their presidential nominee, Alton Parker, beside a white couple while Roosevelt posed with a white bride and black groom. The button read: “The Choice Is Yours.”

GOP presidents Gerald Ford in 1975 and Ronald Reagan in 1982 promoted Daniel James and Roscoe Robinson to become, respectively, the Air Force’s and Army’s first black four-star generals.

November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a national holiday, the first such honor for a black American.

President Reagan named Colin Powell America’s first black national-security adviser while GOP President George W. Bush appointed him our first black secretary of state.

President G.W. Bush named Condoleezza Rice America’s first black female NSC chief, then our second (consecutive) black secretary of State. Just last month, one-time Klansman Robert Byrd and other Senate Democrats stalled Rice’s confirmation for a week. Amid unanimous GOP support, 12 Democrats and Vermont Independent James Jeffords opposed Rice — the most “No” votes for a State designee since 14 senators frowned on Henry Clay in 1825.

 

That is the biggest crock of liberal loon bull(*)(*)(*)(*) I have ever heard. Post anywhere in the tenets of the GOP where they support racism? That is an outright lie, and if there is anything that will (*)(*)(*)(*) me off more is left wingers falsely calling republicans racists.

 

Republicans Founded the Historically Black Colleges and Universities


Most people do not know that it was white Republicans who financed, funded and sponsored the colleges and universities for African Americans in the 1800s and early 1900s, while Democrats, with brutal force, opposed every effort made by Republicans to educate African Americans.
Billionaire John D. Rockefeller was the Republican philanthropist who donated millions of dollars to black colleges. Henry L. Morehouse and Laura Spelman are two white Republicans who worked very hard to establish and maintain some of our historically black colleges.

Laura Spelman’s work with black schools and colleges had a profound influence on both her husband and her son, John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. In 1902, father and son set up a General Education Board to assist Southern black schools. By the end of the first decade, the board had donated more than $33 million toward furthering the goals of black education. By 1921, they had donated an additional $96 million for education. Black schools and colleges were the recipients of some of this money as well.

Spelman College, established for African American women, bears the name of this devout Christian woman.

Henry L. Morehouse was the Executive Secretary of the Home Mission Society, an organization that financed and started many of the first black schools and colleges. Morehouse received national recognition when a prominent black college in Atlanta, Georgia, the Augusta Institute, decided to honor him by naming their school after him (Morehouse College).

Atlanta University’s founder and first president (1867-1885) was Republican Edmund Asa Ware, who had been converted to abolitionism as a young man by reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin.

The founder of Fisk University was Republican Erastus M. Cravath. Cravath had been brought up by his abolitionist father and had attended two integrated colleges.

The following is a list of some of the black schools and colleges that were founded by prominent Republicans in the face of opposition from Democrats.

Morehouse College 1867 Atlanta, GA
Howard University 1867 Washington, DC
Spelman College 1881 Atlanta, GA
Shaw University 1865 Raleigh, NC
Fisk University 1866 Nashville, TN
Atlanta University 1867 Atlanta, GA
Virginia Union University 1899 Richmond, VA
Straight University 1869 New Orleans, LA
Talladega College 1867 Talladega, AL
Clark University 1870 Atlanta, GA
Meharry Medical College 1867 Nashville, TN
Morgan College 1867 Baltimore, MD
New Orleans University 1873 New Orleans LA
Philander Smith College 1883 Little Rock AR
Rust College 1883 Holy Spring MS
Samuel Houston College 1900 Austin, TX

 

Nothing changes the fact that the OP lied when he said that more Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights act.
Facts, an allergen to the right.

 

I love it when posters like you rub the left winger's faces in the truth. They have been spoon fed a bunch of lies so long, these liberal loons believe it is true. Good post Papastox

 

LOL

 

Yes, facts are allergen to posters like you:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/politics/civil-rights-act-interesting-facts/

More Republicans voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act than Democrats
In the 1960s, Congress was divided on civil rights issues -- but not necessarily along party lines.
The civil rights movement in photos The civil rights movement in photos
"Most people don't realize that today at all -- in proportional terms, a far higher percentage of Republicans voted for this bill than did Democrats, because of the way the Southerners were divided," said Purdum.

BTW, MLK was a republican, just in case you missed that fact

 

So, who's lying about that? FOX..Rush...who???

 

Nothing changes the fact that here and now in the 21st century on Planet Reality African-Americans (and Hispanics, Jews, and Asians) vote overwhelmingly against the GOP. True patriots can call them stupid and use loaded terms about 'plantations' all they want but if they think that kind of stuff will win support from those groups - they're (pardon the allusion) whistling Dixie.

 

#3 They are talking about economics.

 

Seems to me that whenever this inconvenient truth comes up the true patriots respond by 1) saying that the GOP is loaded, crammed full of black folks. When shown to be wrong they then say 2) it is all unfair, mean, and a distortion by (fill in blank) of the GOPs platform/history that is responsible for no minorities support.When that is shot down the move on to 3) minorities are just too stoopid.

 

Holy (*)(*)(*)(*) batman, you must have fallen and hit your head.....

King's own words....

Let's not forget about the breakdown in votes by North (liberal) and South (conservative) .....

Why o why do people play ignorant when facts are available to prove (*)(*)(*)(*) wrong?

 

When you give Americans enough free stuff, they will vote for you. Only 60% of young Americans even know who Joe Biden is. There are republicans like Condi Rice, and Dr Ben Carson that understand the true meaning of being a self-reliant republican.

The fact that you liberals keep pushing that lie that republican conservatives are racist has provided evidence that that is a big (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lie.

 

They should cover the topic of Eisenhower's attempt to pass Civil Rights against the politics of Democrats
