Racism and Discrimination After Emancipation

[2011rhythmdivine]

However we try to eradicate the legacy of slavery, it might take some more time. People must be educated to be humane to feel how it is to be discriminated. Sympathy people! Touching presentation!

[stfortag]

This all could have been avoided, if White people had NEVER gone to Africa.

[Mr88playmaker]

Plus, let's not forget that slavery, secession and segregation were ALL exclusively Democrat created and maintained things. Republicans never owned slaves; and ONLY black AND white REPUBLICANS were lynched by the KKK, which is recognized within the annals of Congress as The Terrorist Arm Of The Democratic Party. Black people need to return to the faith and values of their Republican fathers or else they will only remain wandering in the desert.

[Mr88playmaker]

The slave farmland was in the South; so the Northern Democrats had solidarity with their fellow Democrats in the South.

The Federal records show that the Democratic PARTY itself (as a whole) officially stood for slavery, secession and segregation. The Democrat Feds (in Washington) fought hard, for hundreds of years to oppress black people.

[Mr88playmaker]

A Party Platform is the OFFICIAL and LEGAL POSITION of a PARTY on a particular issue. Ask yourself "why" black people are screwed, and just "who" screwed them.

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1840, 1844, 1848

All efforts by abolitionists . . . to interfere with questions of slavery . . . are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences and . . . have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the stability and permanency of the union.

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1840, 1844, 1848

[Republican Party not yet formed.]

[Mr88playmaker]

Abolitionists turn up the heat to free the slaves. Here is the Democratic Party's response:

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1852

The Democratic Party will resist all attempts at renewing in Congress or out of it the agitation of the slavery question [i.e., will oppose all efforts to abolish slavery].

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1852

[Republican Party not yet formed. At this point they are the abolitionists preparing the party]

[Mr88playmaker]

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1856

The Democratic Party . . . will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts . . . settled by the Congress of 1850: the act for reclaiming fugitives from service or labor. . . . [We support] NON-interference by Congress with slavery in state and territory, or in the District of Columbia [i.e., we oppose all congressional attempts to abolish slavery in any area of the nation].

[Mr88playmaker]

NOTICE that these are NOT "Southern" Democrats pushing to have slaves. These are DEMOCRATS. These are the OFFICIAL platforms (stance) of The Democratic PARTY (itself, as a whole) in regard to slavery. These are Federal platforms.

Let's read on....

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

(1st Republican platform!)

1856

As our Republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law it becomes our duty to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it for the purpose of establishing slavery in the territories of the United States... (see continuation)

[Mr88playmaker]

1st REPUBLICAN PLATFORM 1856 (Continued from right where I left off):

... [W]e deny the authority of Congress, of a territorial legislation, [or] of any individual or association of individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States.

NOTICE: The Republicans came out of the gate punching! Their FIRST order of business was to END slavery against FIERCE Democratic opposition!

[Mr88playmaker]

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1860

The Democrat Party will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon these questions of constitutional law. . . . [T]he enactments of the state legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law are hostile in character,subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect.

[Mr88playmaker]

Democrats got the COURT to rule an evil verdict in their favor. Now check out how the Republicans respond in their Party Platform.

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1860

[W]e brand the recent reopening of the African slave trade under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power as a crime against humanity and a burning shame to our country and age; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic.

[Mr88playmaker]

So, the Republicans put some hurt on the stubborn racist Democrats.

Here's how they responded:

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1864

The direct interference of the military authorities of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware was a shameful violation of the Constitution; and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and resisted with all the means and power under our control.

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1864

As slavery was the cause and now constitutes the strength of [the Civil War] and as [slavery] must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of republican government, justice and the national safety demand its utter and complete [elimination] from the soil of the Republic; and while we uphold and maintain the acts and proclamations by which the government in its own defense

has aimed a deathblow at this gigantic evil... (see continuation)

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1864 (Continued where we left off)

...we are in favor, furthermore, of such an AMENDMENT to the Constitution as shall TERMINATE and forever PROHIBIT the existence of slavery within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States.

[Mr88playmaker]

Okay, this really pisses off the Democrats and so their racist demons show themselves stronger!

THE DEMOCRATS PLATFORM

1868

The Democratic party . . . demand[s] . . . the abolition of the Freedmens Bureau and all political instrumentalities designed to secure Negro supremacy. . . . Instead of restoring the Union, it [the Republican Party] has so far as in its power dissolved it, and subjected ten states, in time of profound peace, to military despotism and Negro supremacy.

[Mr88playmaker]

THE REPUBLICANS PLATFORM

1868

This Convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights.

[Mr88playmaker]

Okay, you get the picture. These civil rights platforms continued on this way on for 100 more years, well into the 1960s, when finally, the Democrats caved and Johnson signed a bill that would lift purely-DEMOCRAT-CREATED & IMPOSED SEGREGATION in the South.

At that point, black people left the Republican the party and became Democrats.

Blacks are still contained & controlled by the same party who oppressed their fathers, only not through violence but sticks & carrots at election time.

[Mr88playmaker]

The apple never falls far from the tree and that history rhymes. Today's Democrats (the party) are no different than their Democrat fathers who owned slaves, controlled black people, and kept them down for hundreds of years & murdered them for being Republican. The only difference between the early days and now is the means by which the masters achieve control. A pimp has two ways of controlling a girl and working her. A slap on the face; or a kiss on the forehead. It's harder to hate a kiss.

[Mr88playmaker]

Truth is, talk is cheap. Some Democrats have said that the racist Democrats "found Jesus" and changed their ways, and ran like hell to join the Republican party, to join forces with the Christian Right of MLK & Lincoln. But if that were true--as even Alveda King points out--WHY did the racist Democrats all STAY in the Democrat party? Johnson answered WHY when he signed the bill that lifted Democrat-imposed segregation; saying: "I'll have them n--grs voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

[Mr88playmaker]

For lack of knowledge my people are destroyed.

[Mr88playmaker]

Bill Clinton had a Republican stacked Senate. Anybody remember Newt Gingrich? Clinton would have taxed and spent us into the kind of mess we have right now had he been allowed. Newt Gingrich and the Republicans are to thank for that one.

[chsn09]

Excellent video ! This speaks the truth!

[432cestus80]

The World is too small for us to live, yet racism by only few still exist. Hatred is in the hearts of men eversince. There are many kindhearted men who wanted to put this small world together, so that we can live in peace regardless of race, color or creed. There are only a few men who wanted to tear this world apart. Only love and understanding could change this men. Men was created equal and they have the right in the pursuit of happiness, the reason why you find every race in your country.

[Dangerdoom68]

what the ?

[Dangerdoom68]

The problem is that these Afro African"black" people of slave kin ancestry can simply end...CEASE.. all of their complaints & indignations by simply MIGRATING BACK TO AFRICA which they REFUSE to acknowledge!

All People's innovate & evolve a unique culture, language, DNA phenotypes, religion, cuisine, etc., based on their experience & enviroment!

Afro African"blacks" are not in Africa hence if they want to stay here ( in a European Western culture) they need to ASSIMILATE via ACCULTURATION!

[joinerSUjagsbluengol]

white people sure as hell didnt ASSIMILATE via ACCULTURATION with the Native Americans or any other fucken place they went to and double crossed people, and stolen land and natural resources

WHY DONT WHITE PEOPLE MOVE BACK TO EUROPE MORE OR LESS THE CAVES OF CACAUS why do white people refuse to mention that hmmm o thats right stfu nothing left to say

[p179894]

shut the fuck up red neck

[golo5000]

Blacks had to sit through it for 200 yrs. Not to say some whites hasn't had it bad as well if they were poor or uneducated. Lets learn from the mistakes society had made so we don't make the same mistakes in the future.
