Black and the Political Parties
Slavery was an issue in politics since the forming of
America, however and unfortunately it was also
entrenched in the American economy.
In 1854 the Republican Party was formed with it's primary
goal being to abolish slavery. Abraham Lincoln was
the first Republican President. Although Lincoln's goal
in fighting the Civil War was to preserve the Union, his
Emancipation Proclamation was a spoil of war. Following
Emancipation Blacks began to run for government offices.
The first 23 Blacks elected to the U.S. Congress were
Republican.
The Democratic Party opposed every attempt at equality
in society even to enact laws to restrict voting to
black citizens. The "Jim Crow Laws" were enacted by
Democrats and supported along with segregation in
schools and society by the Democrat Party. |

Black Presidents?
Barack Hussein Obama
is the first Black-American to become President of the
United States.
Other Presidents have had some Black in
their ancestry; Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson,
Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Those presidents had been socially accepted as white.
"I
Have a Dream"
Excerpts from the Speech by
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I still have a dream. It is
a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day
this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its
creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal.'"
"I have a dream that my four
little children will one day live in a nation where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of
their character."

PoetPatriot's
Bigotry
"Racism comes in all colors of ignorance."
"Bigotry is in our ignorance, our intelligence keeps it at bay."
"Color of our soul is determined by color of our character not
the color of our skin."
"I don't care about your demographics. I care about the
demographics of your character."
"Affirmative
Action racial profiles."

Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. and other Civil Rights
Leaders met with the Republican Eisenhower Administration to discuss the Democrat opposition to the Republican Civil Rights agenda.

Dr. Martin Luther King
with President
Dwight D. Eisenhower
in 1957. |

Republicans Proposed and Enacted the Civil Rights Amendments of
1957 and 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed
by President Johnson but had been opposed by the
Democrat Party.

Dr. Martin Luther
King
and President
John Kennedy met
to discuss possible
support for the
Civil Rights agenda. |

Opposing Civil
Rights
The Democratic Party fought the Civil Rights Act of
1964, even fillibustering against it as a last ditch
effort to kill the Amendment. Civil Rights leader, Fanny
Lou Hamer, was barred from attending the 1964 Atlantic
City Democratic National Convention, because of her
Black agenda. President Kennedy had began meeting with
Dr. King in support of Civil Rights though the Democrat
Party remained against it. The multiple apperances
between the two men; the assassinations; and President
Johnson signing the Bill, overshawdowed the fact that
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a Republican success.
The misperception still exists today.
Black Vote
Manipulated
Martin Luther King Jr. organized the Million Man March which
was opposed by President Kennedy and the Democrat Party.
Martin Luther King Jr. had been jailed, one of JFK's
campaign aids was going to arrange King's release but
Kennedy said, "No," concerned it would lose him the
southern vote. Martin L. King Senior, in anticipation of
the release had placed a large advertisement in the
newspaper. In the ad Martin Luther King Senior thanked
Kennedy and declared his vote for Kennedy for releasing
his son from jail. When Kennedy heard this he held back
waiting to see how the ad might sway public opinion.
That move played well, Kennedy had his campaign aid
arrange the release of Martin Luther King Jr. That
incident of fluke timing with an advertisement telling
of King Senior's support for Kennedy began the
conversion of Blacks voting Democrat rather than the
Republican Party that had always supported equality.
Power over
Character
The Democrat Party to gain votes began to use the Civil
Rights agenda to buy Black votes by enacting "civil
rights" laws that would use color rather than 'content
of character' to improve the plight of the Black.
Reverse discrimination in Affirmative Action was opposed
by the Republican Party. The Republican Party still
stands on the principal of by one's initiative and
"content of their character," The Democrat Party
continues to appeal to the vanity without regard for actual outcome
or fairness between the races.
