AmericanThinker: Have you heard of Josiah Walls or Hiram Rhodes Revels? How about Joseph Hayne Rainey? If not, you’re not alone.
I taught history and I never knew half of our nation’s past until I began to re-educate myself by learning from original source materials, rather than modern textbooks written by progressive Democrats with an agenda.
Interestingly, Democrats have long ago erased these historic figures from our textbooks, only to offer deceitful propaganda and economic enticements in an effort to convince people, especially black Americans, that it’s the Democrats rather than Republicans who are the true saviors of civil liberties. Luckily, we can still venture back into America’s real historical record to find that facts are stubborn things. Let’s take a closer look.
and yet, they will continue to vote with the left hand
i have tried for decades to understand the black community, and have given up, have accepted that they want to be fed by the distribution of the largesse from the working tax-payers
and no, i am not painting them all this way, but the ones who i am referring to do not accept the hard-working, responsible blacks as belonging to their own
in the meantime, we have significant examples of other minorities (see vietnamese who have escaped the horrors of their homeland) who have taken the opportunity that america has provided, worked hard, sent their kids to college, and been successful
“I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.”

Great article. Shelby Steele has said as much over the years. But, unfortunately, most blacks don’t read. Chris Rock will tell you that books are like kriptonite to blacks
A “slave” mentality is a difficult thing to escape.
The Demonrats are past masters at smiling and offering crumbs while excusing bad behavior by attributing every failure to the stars, or “racism,” or bad Karma, or the goddess Fortune.
It is more difficult to convince a man he’s being lied to than it is to lie to him.

When I discovered Google had digitized books from the previous centuries I started reading books, magazines and newspaper articles from the 1600’s, 1700’s and 1800’s.
I could never understand how the South justified something as awful as slavery until I read Southerners comparing it to the heartlessness of Northern employers.
In the South, slaves were provided housing, clothing several times a year, food, medical care and were cared for from cradle to grave, sick and well, able bodied or not as were their children.
Employers in the North only paid when people worked, didn’t care if they got sick, didn’t care if they had children, didn’t care if they had a place to live, clothes to wear or food to eat or got too old to work. That, to the South was barbaric.
Puts a whole new perspective on the argument.
I’ll bet the Hillbag knows whut to do when one wanders off the plantation…
Most people are not aware that the first five Black Congressmen were Republicans…..back in 1870
I think that’s what this article was about, bub.
Most are Mulattoes?
Take a close look at their facial features.
At least five of them have white in them.
Possibly all.
It’s interesting, they had to scrub Harriet Tubman’s history to put her on a $20 bill.
If the people who supported it even understood her a little bit, it wouldn’t have gotten support from the SJWs and racial bigots.
She was a gun totin’, strong Republican woman.
