Illuminating commentary on some of our sordid past and 'reparations' from a man qualified to comment...
He clearly lays out the marxist map to separate a people from who they are by corrupting the schools that teach their children, and the actual history of what DEMOCRATS did to his people and family. His family's story is moving. His message is moving. And his prescription for the wrongs done to his people IS that democrats make the, his word, RESTITUTION.
History - democrats owned slaves. Republicans didn't. democrats lynched over 3,000 free blacks. democrats lynched over 1,300 Republicans who had gone to the South to teach freed slaves to read, write, run farms, businesses, and horrors, run for office. Every single African-American in Congress, House and Senate, until 1935 was a Republican. In 1872, the first black governor took office in Louisiana. He was a Republican.
More history...
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution -- is a purely Republican achievement, because every single Democrat in Congress voted against the 14th Amendment. That is another fact deftly omitted from American history textbooks these days: we owe our Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the laws and due process to Republicans, and this bedrock of American civil rights was unanimously opposed by the Democrats.
Three years later, in 1869, the Republicans proposed yet another constitutional amendment, this one specifically guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. The same partisanship was in evidence: 98% of Republicans voted for it; 97% of the Democrats voted against it.
Seven years later, Republicans in Congress authored what was then, and what remains today, the most sweeping Civil Rights legislation ever enacted. The 1875 Civil Rights Act guaranteed the right of equal access to all citizens in all public accommodations -- whether or not owned or controlled by the government. Now that phrase, “public accommodations,” is very familiar to us today, because it was at the heart of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which became the focal point of the 1960s civil rights movement. The reason that this question was before the Congress again in the 1960s is that the 1875 Civil Rights Act only lasted for eight years before the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. What finally became law in 1964, therefore, was the original Republican legislation of 90 years earlier. Not surprisingly, in 1964 a significantly higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Even if 'reparations' we somehow in order, the 400,000 Union soldiers that gave their lives and the countless that had their lives shattered by the Civil War more than paid that price.
To all dims, far and wide, I have a simple massage to you. Your people did it. You cough it up.
