HARRY REID TWISTS CIVIL RIGHTS HISTORY TO BASH GOP
By Frances Rice ~ retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, a lawyer and chair of the National Black Republican Association. : www.NBRA.info excerpted story
Confident that liberal historians have successfully re-written civil rights history, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid brazenly compared Republican health care reform opponents to supporters of slavery, ignoring the fact that the Democratic Party fought to expand slavery while the Republican Party fought to end it. Not satisfied with just playing the race card on the senate floor, the Nevada Democrat also accused Republicans of opposing women's suffrage, never mind that the Republican Party also championed women's rights.Etched in history and exposed in Perryman's book, "Unfounded Loyalty", is the sordid details of Democratic Party racism - past and present. The Democratic Party, through its racist agenda and "States' Rights" claim to own slaves, sought to protect and preserve the institution of slavery from 1792 to 1865, thus keeping enslaved millions of blacks. Democrats formed the Confederacy, seceded from the Union and fought a Civil War (1861 to 1865), a war where over 600,000 citizens were killed, including many thousands of blacks. In his book, Perryman also provides the details about how the Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party, fought to free blacks from slavery and championed civil rights for blacks and women. Learn the facts that have been distorted and burried by the Marxist media The NBRA delivered a petition in 2007 to Sen. Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanding an apology for the Democratic Party's racist history. We also sent an open letter to President Barack Obama requesting that he, as the leader of the Democratic Party, issue a formal proclamation of apology for the documented atrocities and accumulated wrongs inflicted upon black Americans by the Democratic Party for over 150 years. It's the right thing to do, but we won't hold our breath.Frances Rice is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, a lawyer and chairman of the National Black Republican Association.
