Will The Real Racist/Segregationist Please Stand Up?

If you want to find out who the real racists/segregationists are in our society, please read the book by David Barton, American History In Black & White. (Wallbuilder Press, 2004) Here are just a few facts to tease your mind:

• In 1789 the U.S. government passed a law prohibiting slavery in a federal territory. In 1820, the Democratic Congress passed the Missouri Compromise that reversed that policy. (p 17)
• In 1850, the Democratic Congress pass the Fugitive Slave Law requiring anyone who found escaped slaves to return them back to slavery. (p 18)
• Indicating the tendency of the Democrats to use violence to make their point, Democrat Preston Brooks was proclaimed a hero for clubbing Senator Charles Sumner almost to death because Senator Sumner made a speech promoting civil rights and desegregation. It took Senator Sumner three and one-half years to recover. (p 21-22)
• In 1871 not one Democrat voted to pass a bill to allow the government to punish Klan violence. (p 73)
• In 1956 100 Democrats in Congress passed a manifesto denouncing the Supreme Court's decision to end segregation in schools.

This is just a few facts in American history that show a trend in the parties in our country. The book is full of facts about who are the real racists. Beware Nancy Pelozi, Harry Reid, Michael Moore, etc!  These facts along some more recent ones such as the Klan membership and leadership of the late Senator Robert Byrd raises serious questions about who are the real racists/segregationists.
