The DEMOCRAT RACE LIE

©Black & Right — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 23:32:31 +0000

This whopper deserves all the attention it can get. Again, it shows the ignorance and contempt of the electorate liberals depend on. The following* is what readers got when they clicked on the Democrats.org “History” button….

This is the kind of revisionism spewed by Democrats on a daily basis, and unfortunately the media and other so-called watchdogs are so apparently ignorant of American history, Democrats continue to LIE through their teeth to their constituents, and via academia, to our kids. Despite the truth being out there for years, it’s probably not going to explode until some big shot news anchor gives us an “exclusive expose” bringing us all those facts first, so he/she can proudly receive a Pulitzer…

While I have only scratched the surface of civil rights history, remember, Democrats claim 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”…

For one, I am opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form. I believe this Government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity for ever, and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, men of European birth and descent, instead of conferring it upon negroes, Indians, and other inferior races.”.

And let’s not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood…

The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
— 1939 letter by Sanger

So the next time any Democrat claims they’ve been supportive of civil rights in America (and been so all along), ask them to explain their past. “We’ve grown” is not gonna cut it, considering they continue to lie about their past to this day.

I say again, I’m not anti-Democrat, I’m not anti-Republican, I’m not anti-anything. I’m just questioning their sincerity, and some of the strategy that they’ve been using on our people by promising them promises that they don’t intend to keep.
— Malcolm X, 4/3/64

Only a willing fool (and there are quite a lot out there) would accept and recite the nonsensical: one bright, sunny day Democrats and Republicans just up and decided to “switch” political positions and cite the “Southern Strategy” as the uniform knee-jerk retort. Even today, it never takes long for a Democrat to play the race card purely for political advantage.

Thanks to the Democrat Party, blacks have the distinction of being the only group in the United States whose history is a work-in-progress.

* In 2010, the Democrat Party website received a face lift and the erroneous statements regarding their so-called civil rights advocacy were removed, that is until 2020….

For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights…. Take a look at some of our accomplishments, and you’ll see why we’re proud to be Democrats. From America’s beginnings to today, people have turned to Democrats to meet our country’s most pressing challenges—and pave the way for a future that lifts up all Americans.

The lie has returned for the benefit of the ignorant, with careful nuance.

A “proud” history.
