The Democratic Party Needs to Be Honest About Its History of White Supremacy

[MMC]

How's that?

Now we do know at the advent of the Progressive Era the parties did switch: The Democrats used to be the free marketers, then they jumped on the wagon of government is the solution to all problems.

LOL didnt take him long to quote Marx, huh?

[MMC]

The parties have reversed haven't you heard. History shows that clearly, please pay attention.

"History is the queen of the humanities. It teaches wisdom and humility, and it tells us how things change through time." Gordon S. Wood

"Learning history is easy; learning its lessons is impossibly difficult." Nicolas Bentley

"If you can cut the people off from their history, then they can be easily persuaded." Karl Marx

"To think of humans as freedom-loving, you must be ready to view nearly all of history as a mistake." John Gray

"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." George Orwell

"The value of history is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is." R. G. Collingwood

"The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please." Hannah Arendt

"Historian Phillips-Fein traces the hidden history of the Reagan revolution to a coterie of business executives, including General Electric official and Reagan mentor Lemuel Boulware, who saw labor unions, government regulation, high taxes and welfare spending as dire threats to their profits and power. From the 1930s onward, the author argues, they provided the money, organization and fervor for a decades-long war against New Deal liberalism—funding campaigns, think tanks, magazines and lobbying groups, and indoctrinating employees in the virtues of unfettered capitalism." 'Invisible Hands'

"Not only does there seem to be widespread social fragmentation and disillusionment with democracy in the United States, but the possibility of reversing this sense of alienation appears to many of us to be already lost. Any democratic president who wants to institute the desperately needed reforms in health, welfare and the environment faces one of two options. He can stick by his reform program and suffer a loss of public confidence through orchestrated campaigns to publicly portray him as 'too liberal' and ineffectual (the Carter image) or too indecisive or sexually indiscreet (the Clinton image). Alternatively, a reforming democratic president can move further to the Right, forget his promises and become part of the propaganda campaign. Given the history of democratic propaganda in the United States, some of us doubt that another Roosevelt or New Deal is possible. The political system is now so attuned to business interests that this kind of reformer could no longer institute the substantial health, welfare, education, environmental and employment reforms the country needs." Andrew Lohrey, Introduction, Alex Carey "Taking the Risk Out of Democracy"

Now this one you will need your uhm full concentration.

Honestly I wish the Democrat Party would be honest, just once about anything.

[jet57]

Continuing in the great tradition of doing the work that the American media just won't do ...




FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT:

POTUS.

Appointed a KKK member to the SCOTUS.

Opposed anti lynching legislation.

Interred 200,000 US citizens solely based on their skin color.

Suspended the first amendment.

Allowed crops to be burned while citizens were starving in order to prop up commodity prices as repayment to his political donors.

Democrat who, to this very day, is worshipped as a God King.

However, after six hours of debate, Black was confirmed to the Supreme Court on August 17, 1937.


As he began to rule on the bench of the Supreme Court, some of Black’s biggest critics would eventually become his greatest supporters. Placing the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights above all else—he carried a copy of the Constitution in his pocket—his vote fell on both sides of the aisle, but typically leaned in favor of more liberal decisions.

This Supreme Court Justice Was a KKK Member | Smart News ...

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/supreme...
Born on this day in 1886, Hugo Lafayette Black, a lawyer and politician from Alabama, was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1937. Not long after, a reporter exposed his affiliation with the KKK....


Black’s record on race was spotty at best. He wrote the majority opinion upholding Japanese internment and believed the law ought to be able to punish protesters at civil rights sit-ins.
As Black himself once said, “Show me the kind of steps a man made in the sand five years ago, and I will show you the kind of steps he is likely to make in the same sand five years hence.”....snip~

At the time, most believed in Japanese internment. You have ignored what I posted about Black's actions on the court and what he did to get there and that most, probably FDR as well, did not know he was an ex KKK member...

I didnt think you would read the link.



But the prevailing mood was that of disgust, disappointment, and skepticism. A columnist in the St. Louis Post-Dispatchwrote, “Black stands, by his own testimony, convicted of unfitness to be a member of the Supreme Court.” A writer at the Kansas City Stardeclared his appointment “a tragic offense against the American people,” with another calling the speech “humiliating talk,” while a journalist at a paper in Richmond, Virginia, observed that for all of Black’s apologies, “The specter of a white hood amid the black gowns of the court will not down.”.....snip~


Oh and no where in your link does it say that FDR did not know he was a KKK member. FDR knew from when he was a Senator.


That his eligibility might be tested before the court itself was a possibility when Attorney Albert Levitt, former special assistant to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, filed a plea for leave to pray an order for Black to show affirmatively why he should be permitted to serve as an associate justice. He raised the same legal questions as the republican minority had:


President Roosevelt, up to the time of writing, had maintained silence. One of his aides explained that the President decided some time ago that there was no course of action open to him in the Black case.


Constitutional lawyers agree that Black could not be denied his seat because he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but many of them thought the court, if it decides to take jurisdiction, could bar him on constitutional grounds. There was a reason to believe this solution of the exceedingly unpleasant matter would suit President Roosevelt. Should the President ask Black to resign, the latter might refuse, and that would be most embarrassing for Mr. Roosevelt......snip~

You implied that FDR was basically a Republican in your first line, and then you used a quote that referred to the New Deal as "liberalism". No wonder barely anyone reads your drivel.

How's that?

Now we do know at the advent of the Progressive Era the parties did switch: The Democrats used to be the free marketers, then they jumped on the wagon of government is the solution to all problems.

He would sell you a bill of goods that the party of individual liberty switched when in fact Mob Rule collectivism of the Left never changed hands!

We all know where real racism and Slavery comes from, and that is treating people as State property!
