Educating Barack Obama

Barack Obama says that Republicans will try to scare voters by telling them "he is black". First of all, I don't think that Republicans have to tell anyone that Barack is black, unless they are blind, but let me educate you Mr. Obama on the Republican party.

It was the Republican party that formed in order to end slavery. While the Democrats pushed to have slavery expanded to more states, Republicans fought to stop them. It was the Republican party that passed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments giving blacks their freedom and the right to vote. Only 19 of the 82 Democrats in Congress voted for the 13th Amendment, all of the Republicans voted for it. And while 94% of the Republicans voted in support of the 14th Amendment, not one single Democrat voted for it or for the 15th Amendment. - It is public record, look it up.

It was a Democrat court that ruled that Dred Scott was property rather than a person (while adopting a 'Constitution is a living document' view). It was Democrats who started Jim Crow laws and literacy tests to prevent blacks from voting. It was also the Democrats who formed the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate Republicans, especially Blacks who chose to be Republicans. Blacks were threatened with death if they voted Republican but the KKK didn't just attack blacks. Any Republican was a target.

You look at any public records and you will find that the majority of Republicans throughout history supported civil rights while the majority of Democrats didn't. Look at the party platforms from the civil war on and you will see one party standing up for blacks, and that was the Republican party. The Democrat party has always and still does look down on blacks.

Democrats push affirmative action because they do not think that blacks are capable of the same intelligence as whites. They push for welfare because it destroys the black family and keeps them in poverty. Blacks have voted with the Democrats since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act wouldn't have been passed without the Republicans because southern Democrats were not supporting it, but the Democrats were given the credit for the passage and since then 80% plus of blacks have voted Democrat and how has poverty been fixed? How has their education been improved? How are blacks better off then they were back then? They aren't.

Democrats still see people as property, thus their militant stance on abortion, including partial-birth abortion and born-alive babies. Especially considering that 90% of Planned Parenthood operations are in impoverished black communities. If they can't keep you from procreating, then they will offer you the chance to destroy your own children after conception.

They still see blacks as incapable of taking care of themselves without the help of white people (thus they try to get them addicted to welfare benefits). You want to see racism, look at your own party. While you ridicule and mock blacks who have joined the Republican party as "Uncle Tom's", it is you and others like you who have attacked the abolitionists in favor of the slave holder. No, Mr. Obama, Republicans aren't going to try to scare people because you are black, but it should scare people that you are so ignorant.
