Why America Will Be Racist On 11/4
As the election looms, so does the spectre of America’s racist past.
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) – Two weeks before an election that could install the first black U.S. president, scattered ugly incidents have reflected a deep residue of racism among some segments of white America.
A cardboard likeness of Barack Obama was found strung from fishing wire at a university, the Democratic presidential nominee’s face was depicted on mock food stamps, the body of a black bear was left at another university with Obama posters attached to it.
Though the incidents are sporadic and apparently isolated, they stirred up memories of the violent racial past of a country where segregation and lynchings only ended within the last 50 years.
Should Barack Obama lose, it will not be spun as his being a candidate America rejected, but as a candidate who was a victim of national racism.
What the Reuters story leaves out is the deliberate revision of history perpetrated by Democrats to their present day political advantage. Blacks proudly (and inaccurately) link Republicans to the Ku Klux Klan, and many of the ugly chapters of our history where they were oppressed and terrorized legally.
I say deliberately, and again provide as proof the Democrat Party’s own website that conveniently omits almost 100 years of their complicity in murderous racism in America. They, to this day, claim to be the champion of civil rights, repeating this lie to children in schools and black activitsts, while they lie to an entire people about their history.
Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws, and every law that protects workers. Most recently, Democrats stood together to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act.
On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight. We support vigorous enforcement of existing laws, and remain committed to protecting fundamental civil rights in America.
For many of you who visit Black & Right, this is review. With the election less than two weeks away, Democrats will up their use of the race card, spewing inaccurate historical talking points to an electorate that will gladly absorb the lie because they want to.
Imagine what the next two weeks would be like if Democrats had to explain why they say they “are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws” while having to explain why they terrorized and oppressed blacks, voted against most of the civil rights laws, and lied about it for decades…?

And let’s not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood…
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….
So while we hear accusations of racism by partisan journalists, hints of a lack of pride by those admonishing blacks who won’t vote Obama, calls of voter disenfranchisement from groups attempting to rig the vote and using poor blacks as cover to do so, remember which party did everything they could to keep blacks down and would never envision a black man heading their ticket 100 years ago.
The kneejerk response from Democrats always is that they’ve”grown”. They kneejerk about the DIxiecrats becoming Republicans. However, that is also a lie.
Former Democrat Senator Bob Kerry maintained that all the Dixiecrats became Republicans shortly after passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, another big lie. Richard Russell, Mendell Rivers, Clinton’s mentor William Fulbright, Robert (former Klan recruiter) Byrd, Fritz (Confederate flag on the SC state house) Hollings and Al Gore Sr. remained Democrats till their dying day.
Most of the Dixiecrats did not become Republicans. They created the Dixiecrats and then, when the civil rights movement succeeded, they returned to the Democratic fold. It was not till much later, with a new, younger breed of Southerner and the thousands of Northerners moving into the South, that Republicans began to make gains.
I contend that until Democrats acknowledge their past and continue to deny blacks their true history in this country, racism will always be used as a wedge, causing economic turmoil and social alienation, while making the very blacks who recite this revised history look like fools.

Heh, I jumped in the Lion’s Den yesterday. went on the blogs of one of the only non-separatist official news media and decided to bring the Obama birth certificate issue to them.
Obviously, as expected, their response was ad hominem attacks and outright insults directed at me, while they did not bring up a single argument, and most people stopped at the fact that the url i linked (obamacrimes.com) speaks for itself.
I might link this little post just for kicks and watch them hound me. It’s rather entertaining to watch these people spew their hate (McCain when pronounced in french sounds like McHaine (McHate), and they freely use the term). In any case, very entertaining (and enlightening) case that was.
For anyone who’s interested (and who can read french) you can always ask me for the link. I also took a screenshot of the posts at some point, though additionnal ones were added later on.

Seriously, Bob, that’s all in the past. None of the current legislation pushed by Democrats for civil rights issues is flawed or faulty in its premise.
The Equal Opportunities Act is working just fine. It’s making sure that the right minority candidate gets the job, regardless of lack of experience, skill or discipline. We’re keeping track of racial demographics to make sure that everybody is getting a fair shake and that business is diverse enough for this modern, progressive world.
We’ve got laws in the books advocating pay parity, which many of you may believe is socialistic or perhaps even Communisitic. Really, if you’re doing the same job, regardless of the level of quality or professionalism you bring to the job, then you should get the same pay as someone more skilled, more productive, or more willing to actually go out there and work.
We’ve got programs that fulfill peoples needs. It escapes who said it, but a great man once said, “To each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities.” That’s a great tenet to live by. It guarantees that everyone gets what they need, regardless of whether or not they want to work. It doesn’t devalue those who actually want to work and excel at their work or those who are handicapped and actually strive to work.
We could open up more jobs. Did you know that the majority of employees who actually produce camouflage utilities for the United States Marine Corps are blind? Why can’t we open up those jobs to people who aren’t visually impaired?
My wife had a guy who worked in her restaurant who is blind. His job was to come in and perform detail-oriented tasks which require a lot of tactile skill. Why couldn’t that job be done by someone who is sighted? Seriously, this guy could have sat at home and worked on some different activities while being supported by the rest of us.
Isn’t that the way it should be? Why doesn’t everyone deserve a house? They should be able to get one even if they can’t afford it. They should be able to go to college, even if they can’t afford it or the school they went to from k-12th grade didn’t prepare them for real life. People who are unskilled should be eligible for more support than those who are skilled and take most of the burden upon themselves to achieve the American dream. Doesn’t everyone deserve that regardless of the quality or quantity of work they perform?
We should feel blessed that people would cross our borders illegally because they don’t get what they need from their respective nations. We should be happy to allow them in; our immigration system as it stands is too bloated to deal with them as it is and they should all be allowed to become American citizens without any trouble. We can’t live in the past just because our forefathers or even some of us actually came over here and went through the process. The process is designed for those with resources to actually get through and become citizens.
Any comments regarding Margaret Sanger are completely off base, Bob. Next you’re going to insinuate that she’s a white supremacist who has insituted policies and an organization that is diametrically opposed to the conservative values, religious beliefs and morality of minorities such as the Black community. You’ll also say something along the lines of her organization allowing people to legally murder over 19 million black babies who would just be a drain on society and would cost us even more money. That money could be spent on those people who truly need help; those who we label degenerates and criminals because circumstances got them into to trouble with the law.
Killing people, stealing, raping, dealing drugs or planting bombs to get one’s point across are all cries for help and we need to help these people, not put them all in one place and alienate them from society. Racism is not the policies of the past, it’s the ethics of the future. To accuse Democrats of fearmongering and race-baiting minorities in order to cement their hold on such constituencies is a completely baseless lie. I’m truly ashamed.
Before I forget, /sarcasm off
God Bless, Godspeed and Semper Fi.

Thanks for this, Bob.
You’ve saved me a lot of time to research these pieces. When laid out, it is quite compelling.
I just hope enough people will see it without their “Up is Down, Down is Up” training getting in the way.
(Of course, all of this is operative only to the point where the next administration’s Department of History redacts the record. I’ll miss the fun, probably still being restrained and re-educated in Room 101.)

Obama is an insult to black people in America. He is sold to them as one of them, but he’s not! He’s not a descendant of slaves. He was raised by his fellow traveling white mother and grandparents in Hawaii, Indonesia and Kansas and never really knew his African Arab father.
Obama is a creation of a white radical elite. He’s the product, almost literally up to his birth, of the 1960s elite socialist (=fascist imho) theory that only black people could bring the revolution to America, because “the racist white working class” had grown complacent by consumerism etc.

“When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years.” -Trent Lott
“The War Between the States was about independence, about self-determination, about the right of a people to break free of a government to which they could no longer give allegiance. How long is this endless groveling before every cry of ‘racism’ going to continue before the whole country collectively throws up?” – Pat Buchanan
“There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The ‘negroes’ of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours.” – Pat Buchanan
A visit to Martin Luther King’s widow on the anniversary of his assassination would “outrage many, many people who believe Dr. King was a fraud and a demagogue and perhaps worse. . . Others consider him the Devil incarnate. Dr. King is one of the most divisive men in contemporary history.” – Pat Buchanan
“Integration of blacks and whites — but even more so, poor and well-to-do — is less likely to result in accommodation than it is in perpetual friction, as the incapable are placed consciously by government side by side with the capable.” – Pat Buchanan
“White rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this.” – Pat Buchanan
“There is nothing wrong with us sitting down and arguing that issue that we are a European country.” – Pat Buchanan
“I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for which I have been excoriated by ‘liberal’ colleagues, but I think Plessy vs. Ferguson was right and should be reaffirmed.” – Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist

This is a strawman argument.
A strawman is where you create your own false premise (“ALL the Dixiecrats became Republicans” ) and then attack it yourself to fool people into thinking you have a point.
Strom Thurmon led the charge to the Republican party, and took the South as a voting block with him. Except for Carter, the entirety of the South moved from a solid Democratic voting block to a solid Republican one, just as Johnson predicted.

Eight examples from three people does not a refutation make.
The assertion is that the Democrat Party is attempting to rewrite history; which we can see from their version of history as per their website.
An omission is still revisionist history. Please address that directly before making your counter points, Blaine.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:31 am
Bob, strong words. I’d vote for you but I live in a blue state that likes to elect Republican governors.
I believe that James Loewen writes a lot about the state of American History in the classroom and the lies and fallacies taught to our children everyday. We can also note that the people who lobby for certain textbooks are the parents of these children, at least those who are ardent in being involved in the process.
If you want to have a good laugh, read a high school history textbook. Spouts most of the same crap our friends on the left do. It’s a given that a lot has been rewritten to show us in a better light but it’s not the version of history I support.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:44 am
OK, Blaine. Now for you to find morally equivalent quotes from actual politicians. Buchanan doesn’t count since he was only a candidate and is a private citizen and Chief Justice Rehnquist is a judge and not a Congresscritter.
And keep in mind that even if you do find such a thing, it does nothing to counter the facts that Bob just posted here.

Blaine, you are simply one lying bastard and you know it.
Hell, the Republican party was FORMED by Christian Abolitionists.
It took nothing less than all out WAR to stop the Democrats from their evil and racist agenda that last time around.
Interestingly, they used the exact same attempts at obfuscation, word twisting and the like that the Blaines of this internet age try to use today.
It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
What’s that layman’s definition of sanity again?
Doing the same thing that didn’t work again but expecting a different result?
You have set yourself up for a helluva fall.

Democrats can cite that those bills in support of civil rights weren’t backed by 100% of Republicans. They will also argue that various ‘poison pills’ were included in each piece of legislation (the main point of such legislation would in this case be considered the poison pill).
When accused of attacking or killing Republicans or abolitionists they can also assert that they were in fact fighting for their rights; literally. They’ll also note that LBJ a Democrat and President at the time pushed for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They will not however note that 80% of Republicans voted in favor of the legislation vs. 63% of Democrats. They will also fail to mention that the Democrats held the majority.
But we’re the racists…
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Thanks so much for the history lesson, Bob! You sure were ‘workin it’.
October 26th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Storm Thurmond was a monstrous fucking hypocrite. Your point?
HAHAHAHA. As badly as you fail in basic logic I cannot deny your honesty.
I’m not defending the Democrats. I’m pointing out the Republicans are NOW worse than the Democrats are. How much better the Republicans were before I was even born is irrelevant to who I should vote for now.
Buchanan was hired into Nixon and Reagan’s administrations and had a decent run for the Republican presidential nominee.
Rehnquist was appointed by Nixonlong after his racism was well known, the point being that Republicans (since ‘64) never met a racist they didn’t think deserved a promotion.
