Blacks In The Congress: What's The Big Deal

Tim Scott(R-SC) won was his senatorial bid this week. He's the first Black Republican from the South to be elected. Democrats didn't consider him legitimate before the 2014 election even though he was already a senator. Since he was appointed to the position two years ago members of the Congressional Black Caucus said it didn't count because he was illegitimate. After his victory they've changed their tune and now call him an "Uncle Tom". The poor guy can't catch a break.  If you don't think the MSM thinks he's a sellout then click on the link to find out exactly what they feel about a Black Republican. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/how-tim-scott-responded-when-asked-on-msnbc-how-he-stands-for-the-poor-when-hes-a-republican/article/2555850

I don't believe the Democrats should pat themselves on the back as much as they do when it comes to Blacks in the congress. It wasn't until 1992 when the first Black Democrat, Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill), was seated. Braun served one term, 1993-1999. If my math is correct two decades ago, when she took office, I was a middle aged man. It's not exactly like we're talking Greek or Roman history.

Congratulations, Dems, you're way ahead of the Republicans having Braun as a Black Senator, right? Wrong? The first Black in the Senate after the Reconstruction Period was Sen. Edward Brooke from Massachusetts. His term encompassed the years of 1967-1979. Once again Republicans, the true abolitionists, were way ahead of the curve.

Democrats, the party of the Ku Klux Klan, all three of them have, have left their stained legacy on America. The Party of Al Gore, Sr.(D-Tenn). and Bill Clinton's hero from Arkansas, Sen. J. William Fulbright, racist segregationists were Democrats. Fulbright's fellow citizen,  Gov. Orval Faubus forced Eisenhower to send troops to Little Rock so black children could attend school. Surprise, Faubus was a Democrat as was Gov. George Wallace, Alabama, who famously said, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" not to be outdone by, "If a demonstrator(aka negro) lies down in front of my car it'll be the last car they ever lie down in front of".

Had it not been for Republicans there never would have been a 1965 Voting Rights Act. Lyndon Johnson needed Republican votes to get to get it passed and with the help of Illinois senator, Everett Dirksen, got the legislation he wanted. LBJ knew he wouldn't get the votes from southern Democrats. Or, as Johnson said later, "If I can get this piece of legislation passed niggers will be voting democrat for the next two hundred years". Is Texas a southern state? I thought so. Was Johnson a Dem? Bingo.

Fire hoses unleashed on groups of blacks marching for civil rights, beatings on the street for eating in a Whites Only restaurant, using a Whites Only bathroom by blacks saw the unleashing of German Shepherd's. This was all standard operating procedure done by Democrats against the people who today give them 95% of the vote. It's also the party that has chained them to a lifetime of poverty and subservience to be their political masters. Blacks are to Democrats what indentured servants were to their former masters in the post-Civil War South. They're always in debt with no way out hoping their EBT cards won't run out and the heat won't be shut off in their homes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest there have been more lynchings of Blacks by Democrats than by Republicans. I don't even need to quote statistics. All I have to do is make the statement and the response I'd receive would be, "Well, Duh"!

Think about this: James Earl Ray, a racist democrat assassinated a Republican named of Dr. Martin Luther King. "Care to comment on that sentence, Al and Jesse"?

I read a very humorous quote today from Charles Barkley, NBA commentator and former professional basketball player. He said, "Poor people have been voting Democrat for fifty years and they're still poor". It couldn't be said any better.

A message to Black America from the Spanish essayist, poet and philosopher, George Santayana,
"Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

What else is there to say other than, "ladies and gentleman, when are you going to wise up"?
