Political HIGHLIGHTS OF Unfounded Loyalty Findings Regarding Republicans & Democrats From the Civil War To 1964... View MorePolitical HIGHLIGHTS OF Unfounded Loyalty Findings Regarding Republicans & Democrats From the Civil War To 1964 1. Both parties were inspired, by the Bible: one party (REPUBLICAN) believed the Bible supported their position that blacks should be free, the other( DEMOCRAT believed the Bible said that blacks should be slaves (Based on the curse of Ham in Genesis 9:25-27. Note: The Muslims were the first religious group to enslave and trade Africans as slaves - 800 years before Columbus discovered America. 2. One party (R) and their abolitionist supporters believed the Bible instructed them to lay down their lives for the slaves, the other party(D) and their supporters believed the Bible gave them the right to take the lives of blacks if they rebelled against being slaves. 3. On the issue of slavery, one party (D) and its supporters gave their lives to expand it (to Northern states) and the other party (R) and their supporters gave their lives to ban it. 4. One party was heavily influenced by the Abolitionists and the radical wing of their party (Radical Republicans) and the other party (D) was influenced by the Ku Klux Klan and other terrorist groups. 5. One party (R) and its supporters started the Freedman's Bureau and other programs to help build communities for blacks, the other party (D) and their supporters engaged in practices to hinder those efforts and to destroy those communities (Wilmington, North Carolina). 6. One party (R) and its supporters established quality schools and colleges for blacks, the other party(D) and their supporters engaged in practices that attempted to close some of those schools or diminish their quality. 7. One party(R) passed laws and Constitutional Amendments (13th , 14th , 15th) to include blacks as part of mainstream society, the other party(D) passed laws to exclude them from the mainstream (Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes). One set of laws that were designed to help blacks, the other set of laws designed to hurt or hinder blacks. 8. The members of one party (R) gave black voters protection, members of the other party (D) murdered, tortured and intimidated black voters. 9. By 1900, as the lynchings of blacks increased (by the members of Democratic Party and their Klan supporters) the number of black politicians decreased. Up to this time (1900) all of the black elected officials in Congress were Republicans. 10. By 1933, black leaders believed Republicans took their vote for granted and elected Franklin D. Roosevelt. Not long after Roosevelt took office, he banned black newspapers from the military and refused to pass key legislation to help blacks (Civil Rights Commission and Anti-Klan laws). 11. By 1945 (under President Truman), the military was in the process of being integrated, the integration process was completed under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican President. 12. During the Eisenhower Administration other Civil Rights Laws were passed and school desegregation began (as a result of pressure from the African American community). 13. During the 1960's, the Black Church, which was the foundation of the black community, ultimately became the salvation of the Democratic Party (their only hope for the White House). 14. Under President Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed. Johnson commended Senator Everett Dirksen a Republican senator from Illinois for pushing the law through. More Republicans voted for this law than Democrats. Southern Democrats voted against the law. 15. Under Republican President, Richard Nixon the 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act was passed and Affirmative Action was established with quotas, goals and timetables. 16. By the time Ronald Reagan took office in 1981 both parties were being influenced by individuals who claimed they were former racist and/or Klansmen (Senator Robert Byrd, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, and Trent Lott to name a few). 17. By 2003, the Democratic Party had elected white women and white men as U.S. Senators (for their party), but never a black man. The Republican had elected three. 18. By 2003, the Democratic Party had never offered an apology for the horrific atrocities that they had committed against blacks over the past 150 plus years. m the Civil War To 1964 https://www.c-span.org/video/?185756-1/unfounded-loyalty-blacks-democrats
