Thanks Grant! Your getting my name right is greatly appreciated. If you ask me, our society could benefit greatly from many more Americans such as your self.

Robert,

What a brilliant form of expression. May God bless you for bearing and attempting to share truth with us; the very thing I feel Americans are so sorely missing. I like your following statement: Ronald Reagan was a great president; moving the nation and the Black community towards self-reliance and prosperity.

If you don't mind, I just don't like to be Gerri. I simply do not like cutting my name short.

Geraldine [got it right],

Thank you for being open-minded and informative. I believe we have to be as positive as possible when we talk about our past and prospect for the future. As Larry Elder would say, "Thomas is a victocrat" and unable to have cogent dialogue without name calling. His citations are from fringe sites and every other premise is racism. Everything cannot be about race.

It's time for our own self-reliance and integrity. I am happy to know you and other like-minded people are out there.

Have a Cool Beans Day,

Grant

Geraldine,

I'll leave him to you. In his own facts he has proved one simple truth: the conservative Republican Party supported the Civil Rights Amendment 290 to 130. In the 1950's it was the Republicans that presented several version of a Civil Rights Act that was opposed by the Democrats and Dixiecrats; including Senator John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson. It is ironic that these two are championed as Civil Rights Presidents.

I still think that we need to focus on your original query. Which party is the true racist party? The Democrats take a monolithic Black American voting block for granted and fail to provide Black America with any substantive return. The Republican Party fails to see the utility of the Black American voting block so they ignore our needs and complaints. Two use car salesmen. One that takes our money and never gives up the car; the other that simply doesn't invite us into their place of business. Though I choose the latter, neither has taken up the cause of strengthening Black America.

Ultimately, it is our collective job to bolster us. In the meantime, I will vote for the most conservative party. I will vote Republican.

God's Grace upon You and Yours,

Grant

I'm sorry but you are not making any sense here...Im\ posted a number of facts...CAN YOU DISPUTE THEM...???...And please stop whining about what happened 100 years ago...Until we find a time machinme there is nothing we can do about it...What we CAN do is deal with the racism that is happening TODAY...Can you understand that..??...By the way both Southern Democrats AND Southern Republicans created Jim Crow laws and voted against the civil rights act including George HW Bush....The vote was actually a regional vote with most of the south voting against the bill...Here is a breakdown of the vote...

The Senate version: Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5%–95%) Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0%–100%) Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%–2%) Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%–16%)

The 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%)

As you can see ..the south didn't want the civil rights act passed at all and NONE of the republicans in the south voted for it...Now if you look at the percentage of votes in the democratic party from northern states ...The percentage was 98 - 94%...while the republican vote was 84-85%....Therefore most of the racism came from the "south" in both parties...Now when Nixon brought the southern strategy...the racist democrats went to the GOP...where they found a home..ala David Duke...Funny what a little honest homework can do...

Jack, your truth simply differs from the information set forth in the posted article. Have you considered your information sources? If the Republican Party is the party of racism and hatred, could it be that it is because there are too many descendants of slaves or today's black Americans; the all loving people; will have nothing to do with their own original Party? Could it be there are too few black people in today's Republican Party to share that love that is supposed to be missing in the Republican Party? How sad that might be that a majority of today's black people have completely left the Party of their fore-fathers.

Jack, only liars will try to change history! As sad as it all is; many of today's black Americans basically operate from the lies as told by the Democrat Party. The facts remain; the old slaves; our fore-fathers bled and died that we might have the rights we enjoy today. The people that beat and killed them were White Democrats. You might look up Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Al Gore, Jr.'s dad, Albert Gore, Sr. was documented to be one of the main Senators that filibustered the Civil Rights Act; trying to block black people from re-gaining their civil rights. These were rights black people had already or once gained before the Democrats created the Jim Crow, Segregation Laws.

Had it not been for Democrats creating the Jim Crow, Segregation Laws, essentially taking away the rights black people had gained in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, there might have been no need for Martin Luther King, Jr. to march and eventually die in the 1960's. You might look up Democrat, "Bull" Connor.
