REPUBLICANS CONTINUE THEIR PROUD HERITAGE OF RACIAL EQUALITY...

Much to the chagrin of Democrats, SC Governor Haley has picked Tim Scott to replace outgoing Jim DeMint.

Great choice !



The Republican party sent the first black man to the Senate - Hiram Revels of Mississippi. Of course Democrats opposed Revels at the time - based on his skin color. Revels' credentials arrived in the Senate on February 23, 1870, and were immediately blocked by a few members who had no desire to see a black man serve in Congress. Making their racist views known.

glad to see the retards "continue" to send a first black man to the senate.


lol

A number of Congressmen were also black and republican in the 1870s. That is when the democrats were riding around at night with flour sacks on their heads.

That was Michael Steele, He was described by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as an oreo and a (get this) Nazi.

Republicans don't give a shit about blacks.

Whirly, your posts get more and more idiotic, and less and less reality-based. You need an intervention.

So you think it is "retarded" to send an African American to the Senate. How racist are you, exactly?

Yes, actually. The Democratic Party still had the segregationists back in those days. Segregation of all types was outlawed in stages in the 50 and 60s. The rednecks didn't start their move over to the Republican side until the 1970s in response to Nixon's "Southern Strategy".

Didn't matter what "area" you were in. it wasn't based on neighborhoods or towns. The segregation was based on state law. Where you in a Southern state or at least a state controlled by the Democratic party?

Prior to about 1970, the South in general and the segregationists in particular hated the GOP because the Republicans had ended slavery and got the blame for every bad thing that ever happened from the Civil War on.

Hence the expression "Solid South" when discussing the control of the Democratic party over the South.

You're in Kansas NOW. I had I no idea whether you grew up there or not. I didn't assume.

Segregation was not confined strictly to the south. Some other states closer to the south had it too. The Southern Dems may have controlled Kansas and/or Missouri many years ago, including before you were born and put segregation into place. I'm pretty sure the Reconstruction era Republicans did not.

Holy chit, is this supposed to show a new TREND Whirlyturd?

Im not surprised you're beating on the Civil War era dems to characterize today's political racial landscape.

You are just too fucking funny!
