Frances Rice, Chairwoman of the National Black Republican Association talks about how the Democratic party have successfully distorted history to keep Blacks ignorant of the fact that the Republican Party started the fight for Civil Rights and had to fight the Democrat Party every step of the way.
For nearly 50 years Blacks have been socially conditioned to vote Democrat based on a false impressions, mischaracterizations, and outright lies about the Republican Party. For 75 years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves that were enslaved by White Democrats, Blacks solidly supported the Republican Party. But 1964 Civil Rights Act changed that reality. The bill finally passed with greater percentage of Republicans voting for it than Democrats. Later, Whites who voted Democrat for over 100 years left the Democratic Party and voted Republican.
So the Democrat Party, who had fought a war to keep slavery, who fought to keep segregation alive, and who was opposed to all civil rights acts of the past, needed a new base to replenish the hole left by the Whites who left.
The rest is a sad history of deceit and psychological manipulation perpetrated against Blacks by the very people who were their enslavers in the first place. This has gone on long enough and it needs to stop and the truth be told.
