Civil rights history has been an interest of mine since I saw ?Emancipation Revelation Revolution? at the Liberty Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2005. It was at that moment that I learned, as if being swept away in a flood, 150 years of a history that has long lay hidden by the dominant powers in America.
Allen West knows that history well.
The first black members of the US House and Senate were Republicans. The first civil rights legislation came from Republicans. Democrats gave us the KKK, Jim Crow, lynchings, poll taxes, literacy tests, and failed policies like the ?Great Society.?
Republican President Eisenhower ordered troops to enforce school desegregation. Republican Senator Everett Dirksen enabled the 1964 civil rights legislation to pass, in opposition to Democrat Senators Robert Byrd (KKK Grand Wizard) and Al Gore, Sr.
As a matter of fact, it was Democrat President Lyndon Baines Johnson who stated, ?I?ll have those n**gers voting Democratic for the next 200 years? as he confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One regarding his underlying intentions for the ?Great Society? programs.
Yep, and who are the real racists? So far, thanks to a Republican Party that is ignorant of its own history and gave up on the black community, Democrats have 50 of those 200 years under their belt.>>> http://www.westernfreepress.com/201...e-n-voting-democratic-for-the-next-200-years/
