NATIONAL BLACK REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION DEMANDS PRES-ELECT OBAMA APOLOGIES FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S 150 YEAR SUPPORT OF SEGREGATION, SLAVERY AND RACISM:

THE National Black Republican Association has demanded that Obama apologize for his party's 150 plus year support of slavery. The Democratic party has historically been the party that has profited from slavery and segregation. All of the famous segregationists were Democrats: George Wallace, Bull Conner etc. The Republican Party was formed for the express purpose of defeating slavery. Ancient history you say - actually no, a former Klu Klux Klan member and high office holder is STILL a member of the Democrat Party the US Senate and holds a leadership role in it, Senator Robert Byrd. A brief history of the Democratic Party's role in race relations is:

• founded the Ku Klux Klan in 1866 as an insurgency to reign terror on blacks, Catholics, Jews and Republicans in opposition to the end of slavery
• through “States’ Rights” claim to own slaves, sought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery from 1792 to 1865
• enacted fugitive slave laws to keep blacks from escaping from plantations
• instigated the 1856 Dred Scott decision which legally classified blacks as property
• passed the Missouri Compromise to spread slavery into 50% of the new Northern states
• passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act designed to spread slavery into all of the new states
• formed the Confederacy, seceded from the Union and fought a Civil War (1861 to 1865) to expand slavery where over 600,000 citizens were killed, including many thousand blacks
• supported the “Plessy v. Ferguson” decision in 1896 that established the “separate but equal” segregation doctrine
• fought Martin Luther King’s agenda for racial equality (such as Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, Democrat Public Safety Commissioner Eugene “Bull” Connor in and Democrat Alabama Governor George Wallace)
• praises racist Democrat Senator Robert Byrd who was a fierce opponent of desegregating the military
• were the chief opponents of the 1964 Civil Rights Act
• DNC operatives depicted Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele as a “Simple Sambo”

You can read their very interesting petition here and please pass this information on. President-elect Obama would go a long way toward healing the race problems in this country by apologizing for his party's long and historic support of slavery and segregation.
