The Democrats first created racism, and have been RE-DEFINING Racism for decades!
Democratic Party: Birth of Racism in America
Posted September 1, 2011 by Ann-Marie Murrell on The Patriot Update
With all the rhetoric from people like Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters - and even Nancy Pelosi - claiming everyone in the Tea Party is a racist, I think it’s time we examine the true beginnings of racism in America.
Like most people, I was raised to believe that all racist-type problems originated from the Republican Party.
WRONG - and I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t realize just how thoroughly wrong I was until last year when I watched a video by PJTV’s AlfonZo Rachel called “Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats”.
I watched it early one morning and after it was over I woke up my husband and made him watch it with me. He was just as shocked as I was at the disinformation we’d been fed all our lives.
"Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats"B“EXAMINING BLACK LOYALTY TO DEMOCRATS”. Please watch it and discuss it with your entire family and share it with your friends.
“The Democrat Party has been the pro-slavery party, the pro-segregation party, the anti-civil rights party but the majority of the black community vote democrat,” Alfonzo says. “The Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist fraternity founded by the Democrat Party & their message was simple: vote or die. And when you vote, make sure it’s Democrat.”
Maybe in 2011, after originally being threatened to “vote Democrat or die”, African-Americans are perpetuating their Democratic tradition more out of habit than logic.
I posted Zo’s video on my page (for at least the 3rd time) and one of my Facebook friends, Jeff Stebelton, filled up my entire page with facts about the Civil Rights movement. AlfonZo even commented about Jeff’s post saying, “Thank you Jeff for posting the civil rights record of Republicans; a record the Democrats can’t touch. I hope every Republican who sees it and copies it for their records to remind Democrats what the real deal is.”
I agree with AlfonZo that every Republican and Democrat needs a reminder of who’s who in America - especially in light of the constant stream of racist accusations coming out of the White House.
So below are the Civil Rights records of the Republican and Democratic Parties, starting with 1858 and ending with 1996.
I’m hearing chatter that this is going to be a very race card-driven election, so the best way we can combat their accusations is to arm ourselves with all the facts. We all need to know who we really are - and who they really are as well.

There are certainly no perfect politicians.”

Sanger said, “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….”
