In the class-action Reparation lawsuit against the Democratic Party, will the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rule against the Democrats and order them to apologize to African Americans in 2006? In their brief to the Court of Appeals (Case No. 05-35890), Democrats are not denying the fact that their party was behind many of the racist acts that have affected Blacks during the past 200 years. The Democrat’s own Political Platforms as well as Congressional Records show that as a party:

28. Democrats in an effort to keep blacks in their place used sadistic torture, terror and violence including: lynching, mutilations, murder, decapitations and beating and burning to death countless number of blacks.

In their brief to the court, Democrat’s are not arguing that they did not commit these horrific inhumane acts, their only defense is that according to Lujan v The Defenders of Wildlife case, the Plaintiff, Rev. Wayne Perryman, an inner-city minister from Seattle, do not have the legal authority (or “standing”) to bring this matter to the court. This is the same arguments used to dismiss the reparation cases sponsored by Johnnie Cochran and Professor Charles Ogletree.

In their brief to the court, attorney David Burman (representing the Democratic Party) told the court: “Conceding to the horrors of slavery and racism and even accepting for purposes of this motion that the Democratic Party in the past supported or acquiesced in those horrors, nowhere does the Complaint makes the required showing of any ‘concrete and personalized injury’ necessary to confer standing. The Plaintiff’s injuries are the same injuries that were inflicted on all African Americans over a 200 year period and affect the entire African American Community.”

The Democrats are spending thousands of dollars in legal fees to fight this case. Rev. Perryman responded with the attached 10 page Reply Brief to challenge their position on standing. Rev. Perryman is not seeking monetary damages only a public apology. He is the only black leader not afraid to go after the powerful Democratic Party while challenging the Republican Party.
