Lyndon Johnson's gameplan

Here is an interesting quote of President Lyndon B Johnson to two governors on Air Force One according to Ronald Kessler's book, "Inside The White House". Liberals will quote this Democratic president because they know nothing about the man. Liberals really should review their Democratic history before casting a vote for a Democrat. Maybe they should vote Green Party?

I'll have those n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years

A little history lesson for you, Arlen....

Why Blacks Left The Republican Party

During the 1860′s, when Lincoln was President, the Republican party was considered the liberal party that was against slavery. Blacks mostly voted Republican after the Civil War and through the early part of the 20th century, not surprisingly, since Lincoln was Republican and the white segregationist politicians who governed Southern states in those days were Democrats who didn’t want anything to do with Blacks. From then on Blacks continued to stick with the party that promoted their causes in the United States.

The tide began to turn much later when Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt got 71 percent of the black vote for president in 1936 after meeting with black leaders to push for specific programs that helped regain the grounds lost, due to four centuries of servitude in the United State. Then Harry Truman grabbed 77 percent of the black vote in 1948, thanks to his issuing an order of desegregation to the armed services and an executive order setting up regulations against racial bias in federal employment.

African-Americans have a unique history in America not shared by any other race. To say that we have no choice and no voice in how we draw our party lines and choose our political candidates just shows how much you don’t know of our history here. Surely those who have criticized the need for government sponsored programs, assistance, and services–created in the 60′s –as “handouts” and “special favors” are now beginning to see just how much we all have benefited from a Democratic government in the face of a Republican party that seeks to take all from the ‘haves-nots’ to give to the ‘haves’.

I am very glad that you mentioned Harry Truman!!!!! Here is a quote of President Harry Truman (in 1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess.

I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n****r or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n****r from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America.

You know there are no blacks reading your posts, right? You're playing to an empty theater.

What?! You are suggesting that this type of prejudice/attitude/language by Democrats is perfectly OK as long as there are no blacks in the room? Liberals never cease to amaze me!

No, that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting your flurry of race-baiting posts are falling on deaf ears.

Raees, the "deaf ears" are liberal ears. Id est: YOURS

Right, Arlen. That's why I am involved in a dialogue with you.

You figured it out. The people who engage you on here and call you out for your race-baiting posts are the ones not listening.

Great analysis.

Raees, you cannot see that you are the continuation of a racist movement in the U.S. The Democratic Party has been the very worst of everything in the history of our country. It is something of which to be ashamed. The Nazi Party existed in U.S. decade ago, but would you join the party today regardless of it history? I doubt it. But you turn a blind eye to the Democratic Party.

You need to seriously think about this.

Arlen, which party put the first black in the White House? Which party put the first woman on the ticket as a VP nominee?

Democrats have a long and proud history of defending Civil Rights and expanding opportunity for all Americans. From the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009, Democrats have fought to end discrimination in all forms—including discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability.
