Inevitable results of not season reason number four germans of thoroughly expose the evils about his am of taking responsibility for them and have attempted to atone for them have not done anything similar regarding lemons or stallings horrors to a contrary landon the father of Soviet communism is still widely venerated in Russia and as regards stollen as University of London Russian history and donald Ray field puts it quote people still then I buy a surgeon or implication stalin's holocaust unquote Be even less show is China expose the greatest Mass murderer in flavor of them all mousy tongue now remains reviewed in China every Chinese currency note has his picture on it until Russia and China and Vietnam and Cuba and North Korea acknowledge the evils their countries committed under communism communism is evil remain less known than the evils of the German state under Hitler reason number five Communists murdered mostly their own people the Nazis on the other hand kill very few fellow germans world opinion that largely meaningless and a moral term things the murder of members of one 's own group far less noteworthy than the murder of outsiders that's why for example blacks killing millions of fellow blacks in Africa and listen to almost no attention from world opinion and reason number six in the view of the The last good war was world war two the war against German Nazis and Japanese fashion the left is not regard wars against Communist regimes as good wars for example the American war against vietnamese communism is regarded as immoral and the war agains career and communism manage Chinese Communist backers is simply ignored until the left and all the institutions influence by the left technology we've communism is been we will continue to live in a moral To fuse the world in the meantime all good people to the victims of communism to learn what happened to them even worse than being murdered or enslaved is a world that doesn't even know that you work I'm

education new this the Democratic party was the party of slavery and Jim crow and the Republican party was the party of emancipation and racial integration Democrats were the confederacy and Republicans were the Union Jim crow Democrats were dominate in the sound and socially tolerant Republicans when dominate in the North but then The 19 sixties and seventies everything supposedly flip suddenly the Republicans became the races and the Democrats became the champions of civil rights by advocated by left leaning academic unleashed and journalist the story went like this Republicans couldn't win a National election by appealing to the better nature of the country they can only win by pinning to the worth attributed to Richard Nixon the media's on purpose bad guy this came To be known as the strategy it was very simple when elections by winning the side and to win the side appeal to racists so they Republicans the party of lincoln where to now be labeled the party of rednecks but this story of the two party switching identities is a man in fact it's three minutes wrapped into one false narrative let's take a break look at each month and turn meth number one in order to be competitive in the sound Republican started to panda to White races in the 19 60 's thank with It's actually became competitive in the sound is there really is 19 28 when Republican herbert hoover one of the 47 percent of the South popular vote against Democrat out Smith in 19 52 Republican dwight eisenhower won the southern States of tennessee Florida and Virginia and in 19 56 he picked up Louisiana and taking and West Virginia to and that was after he supported the Supreme court decision in Brown vs board of education than d segregate at public schools and after he sent the Changing first airborne to little rock Central high school to enforce integration myth number to southern Democrats angry with the civil rights act of 19 64 switch parties thanked of the 21 Democratic senators will post the civil rights act just one became a Republican the other 20 continue to be elected as Democrats or were replaced by other Democrats on average those 26 didn't go Republican but another two and a half decades myth number three since the implementation of Southern strategy the Republicans have dominated the South Bank which is Nixon the man who was often credited with creating the southern strategy lost the deep side in 19 68 in contrast Democrat Jimmy Carter nelly swept the region in 19 76 12 years after the civil rights act 19 64 and in 19 92 over 28 years later Democrat bill Clinton won Georgia Louisiana arkansas tennessee and tech in West Virginia the truth is we're probably Guns didn't hold them enjoy tea of southern congressional seat on tonight in 94 30 years after the civil right thing as Kevin williamson of National review right if southern rednecks ditch the Democrats because summer simmer rights law passed in 19 64 it is strange that they waited until the late 19 eighties and early 19 nineties to do so they say things move flow in the side but not that slow So what really happen why does the South now vote overwhelmingly Republican because the South it's that has changed its values have change the racism that wants to find it doesn't anymore it's a values today at conservative ones pro life pro gun and pro small government and here's the proof southern whites up far more likely vote for black and seven Dave like senator tim Scott of South Carolina then apply to liberal in short history has moved on like other regions of the country the Wild boats values not skin color the myth of the southern strategy is just the Democrats excuse for losing the side and yet another way to smear Republicans with the label races don't buy I'm carol swain professor of political science and law at vanderbilt University for prager University where all the five biggest issues facing blacks in America here's my list problem number five the victim Quality nothing hold someone back more than seeing himself as a victim why because of victim is not responsible for his situation everything is someone else's fault and the victim sees little chance of improving his life how can you get ahead if someone is holding back all this makes victim unhappy frustrated and angle this is how too many black see themselves as victims so much so that their victim status becomes their primary I did to t and a room The I call it victim allah G unfortunately many black churches preach this victim I'll agee many black parents pass it on to their children and if any schools teach it to their students and the black media reinforces mean law den W cp another black grievance groups fund raise on it problem number for lack of diversity blacks repeatedly demand and honest dialogue or debate by race but how can it every being honest dialogue of Our reese between blacks and whites when there's virtually no honest dialogue between blacks and blacks is hypocritical and if a black doesn't think whites are ultimately responsible for black people's problems the label is sell out over time race traitor as long as this type of group think exist race reverence of the House sharpton jesse Jackson type who continue to be celebrated our independent black thinkers such as professors Thomas soul and watch the winds will be shine the honest raise dialogue and debate That first has to happen is not between blacks and White but between blacks and blacks we demand verses from others but need to practice it ourselves we're really matters and thought a paint and even political affiliation problem number three furman terrorism as just about everyone knows but too few talk about publicly and majority black cities Bali black on black crime is rented a Department of Justice study from 19 eighty to two thousand eight reveal that blacks accounted for almost half The nation's how massage victims 47 point four percent and more than half of the offenders 52 point four percent all while being 13 percent of america's population that to ski Institute conducted a study of all known lynching of blacks that occur between eighteen eighty two through 19 68 during this eighty six year span which is essentially the post civil war our up to the civil rights era three thousand 446 blacks were reportedly lynch presently black on black murder eclipse is Number of blacks match over the course of eighty years roughly every six months on believably the culpability for this disproportionate amount of mayhem actually lives with a menacing two to three percent minority within the black populous I call them urban theories insist they literally spa from problem number two the black community protects them problem number two polit ration of baby mommas the disintegration of the nuclear family has led to an astronomical increase of single mother households according to the morning and pour In 19 65 nearly 25 percent of black children were born to unwed mothers the report's author Daniel Patrick moynihan said this was a disaster in the making he was of course bill of five by so called black leaders and their Progressive allies but he was right today the out of wedlock rate is nearly 75 percent and even higher in some urban areas to be clear baby daddy share this responsibility with baby mamas yeah my baby daddies are blaine and really showing compassion baby mamas are really blaine and receive both compassion His support this lopsided dynamic and the previously listed pathology stem directly from the number one problem facing the black community problem number one on questioning allegiance to so-called Progressive policies on wavering loyalty to Progressive liberal policies is the primary reason these dire conditions persist they both makes them possible and perpetuation is no coincidence that Progressive isn't is the common thread that binds predominantly black cities where single parent homes failing schools rapid poverty and crime Predominately look at cities like Detroit Philadelphia and Baltimore they've been run by Progressive Democrats for decades if the liberal policies were all affected the city should have become models of economic growth prosperity and stand there models of destruction by fostering and exploiting the victim mentality discouraging self-examination subsidizing baby mamas in making excuses for black dogs so called Progressive policies don't alleviate the problems that affect the black community they aggravate those problem you may have noticed that races and did not make the list why not It's simple there will be no solution to the problems of flipping black America until more blacks recognized that the issues plaguing our community our ultimately self inflicted does racism exist sure but there are other problems far more series and waiting until there are no more races will mean waiting and making excuses forever I'm Kelly starts for prager University just the truth matter not to groups like black lives matter that's tragic for many reasons not the least of which is the black lives are being lost as result when it comes to the sub Save American police blacks and the deadly use of force here is what we know a recent deadly force study by Washington state University researcher lowest James found a police officers were less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed White or Hispanic ones in simulated threat scenarios Harvard economics professor roland fryer and lies more than one thousand officer involved shootings across the country he concluded that there zero and It's a racial bias in police shootings in Houston he found that blacks were 24 percent less likely than whites to be shop at officers even though the suspects were armed violent does the truth matter and analysis of the Washington post's police shooting data base and a federal crime statistics reveals that fully 12 percent of all whites and hispanics who die of homicide are killed by cops by contrast own four percent of black homicide victims are killed by cops but isn't it a sign of bars the blacks make up 26 percent of blue shooting victims but only 13 percent of the National population it is not uncommon sense suggest why police shootings occur more frequently where officers confront armed or violent resisting suspects those suspects are just proportionately black according to the most recent study The Department of Justice of the blacks for only about 15 percent of the population in the 75 largest counties in the us they were charged with 62 percent of all robberies 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in New York city blacks commit over three quarters of all shootings though they are only 23 percent of the city's population whites by contrast commit under two percent of all shootings in the city though they are 34 percent of the population New York sc And your spirit is repeated in every racially diversity in America the real problem facing intercity black communities today is not the police but criminals in 20 14 over six thousand blacks were murdered more than all White and Hispanic homicide victims combined who's killing them not the police and not what civilians but other blacks in fact a police officer is eighteen and I have times more likely to be killed by a black male an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer if the police ended All use of lethal force tomorrow it would have a negligible impact on the black death by homicide rate in Chicago through just the first six and a half months of 20 16 over 20 300 people were shot that's a shooting in our during some weekends the majority of the victims were black during the same period the Chicago police shot 12 people all armed and dangerous that's one half of one 10 percent of all shootings does the truth matter if it does here's a truth worth pondering there is no government agency more dedicated to the proposition that black lives matter then the police the proactive policing revolution that began in the mid 19 nineties has dramatically drop down the inner city murder rate and save tens of thousands of black wives unfortunately that crime to climb is now in jeopardy as I write in my book the war on Knots police officers are backing off of proactive policing in black neighborhoods thanks to the false narrative that police officers are infected with homicidal buys a result violent crime is going up in cities with large black populations homicides in 20 15 was anywhere from 54 percent in Washington dc to 90 percent in Cleveland overall in the nation's 56 largest cities homicides in 20 15 row 17 percent and nearly unprecedented one years spike many law abiding Residents of high crime areas big the police to maintain order precisely the type of policing that the a C O you Progressive politicians and the Obama Justice Department denounce as racist this is tragic because when the police refrain from proactive policing black lives are lost washed because the myth the best research and data reach this conclusion there is no evidence that police are killing blacks just be They're black you now have the truth doesn't matter I'm heather Mcdonald the Manhattan Institute for prager University hi I'm rissa stride ceo of prayer you did you know that prayer use a non profit every dollar you give will go towards making more videos and marketing them so please consider making a donation today people believe that the election of a black President with advance America to a new era of racial harmony that belief prove to be mistaken in retrospect it was naive to think that is single event even the election of a black President Wash away a stain so deeply ingrained in our culture the debate about how much racism there is in America and specifically the disparity between the races is just as fierce as ever that's okay with me discrimination still exists let's deal with it openly and honestly unfortunately that's very hard to do one reason I discovered is that many people feel that they have to treat blacks with kid gloves they think this is noble and lighten Progressive it's not it's to me And condescending in fact it's races a recent experience brought this home to me and so apology class my professor decided to discuss the shooting of Michael Brown a black teenager by White police officer in Missouri before I tell you what's re inspired I need to tell you something about this professor first of all I like her very much she is interesting and engaging but more importantly she took a non pc approach to the class which I found refreshing she encouraged us to started the data dis passionately and draw conclusions from And when the subject of ferguson came up all this objectivity where the window when a classmate said following the debate over the details of the case the facts ultimately don't matter my professor agreed all that matters this classmate and it is not a black boy was killed by a White com another example of racism in a racist society pure and simple so therefore rights and follow the Grand jury decision not to indict the officer with a legitimate reactions of people We just couldn't take it anymore and that's when I knew that when I was really hearing was not an expression of compassion and understanding but something else riding and looting are acceptable forms of behavior why because the rioters and looters have no other options really in free Democratic America you have no other options this is applied to all ethnic groups hispanics Southeast asians Pacific islanders of course not but we the enlighten ones are ready with a Prix package list of excuses when blacks riot and loot worst when it comes to judging Our behavior even facts don't matter all that matters is the color of the teenager and the skin color of the calm one not my world it's a White cop kills a White kid the facts matter if a black cop kills a black kid the facts matter if a black cop kills a White kid the facts matter and if a White cop kills a black hit the facts matter to suggest anything else is to perpetuate discrimination of everything that those whose spouse social Justice claim to want to end anyone whether White or Any other color who excuses black for bad behavior just because they're black I obviously doesn't consider black stir equal rogers a few blacks in affect as children who are unable to adhere to the standards to which every other group is held think carefully about that the only difference between this view and that of White supremacists is that White to premises are honest and open in their view blacks are inferior to whites period but those who condescend to black Cloak themselves and self-righteousness so somehow that makes it okay the bad behavior happens a riot in ferguson and they not knowingly they couldn't take it anymore who can blame them I'll take the White supremacy is in the dank first there are very few of them and they have no power second I can easily prove them wrong but how do I shake off the kinda centers the passion ices there are a lot of them they have a lot of power and they think they mean well how do I convince them that The black human human being being I I want want to to be be I I must must be judged by the same standards as everybody else so how about this for change to treat blacks equally always and everywhere not differently not better not worse not like we're demons not like we're Angels is that so hard to do because if we really want racial harmony the mission and into racism that's the only way to get there I'm chloe they'll do it for Your University hardly a day goes by that someone of prominence a politician a talk show host and entertainer doesn't call some conservative or conservatives generally racist curative local examples the chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign Committee congressman Steve Israel to significant extend conservatives are animated by racism Tv news caster edge souls this is what the Republican party stands for racism open winfrey there's a level of disrespect for the office that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases be As the President is African American there's no question about that to call someone a racist should be a very serious matter a racist is a person who believes that one race is inherently superior or inferior to another it's not intelligence are goodness that determines an individual's worth it's his or her skin color to say that racism is foolish and stupid not to mention evil is to understate the case but according to many of their critics conservatives are that stupid and that evil but with few exceptions Service and either so why the charge even need the answer is primarily political to maintain black support for liberals in the policies to back up this charge each uses point to conservative policies so let's examine some conservative policies to see if they are indeed races the long standing conservative opposition to action is a good place to start it was Democratic President John F Kennedy who first used the term affirmative action in 19 61 but a firm of action in the way we think of it now was it implemented until 19 70 Me during administration of a Republican President Richard Nixon the theory was that because of historical discrimination blacks were at a competitive disadvantage to other races and ethnicities to raise that disadvantage standard that most blacks presumably couldn't eat had to be lowered one could make the case that this policy had some utility when it was first put in place but that was a long time ago the conservative position is that blacks have repeatedly proven they can compete with anyone without the benefits demeaning been fits in my And of lower standards there are countless examples of black success in every field at level the policy is no longer necessary but the conservative argument goes further study after study shows that in the case of College admissions affirmative action actually hurts me blacks by lowering admission standards for blacks and some other minority students College is set many of these students up for failure they get placed in schools for which they're not prepared and high black dropout rates confirm this view so does common sense If White students with me over the course where needed to elite schools they too would be set up to fail let's do the math conservatives believe that blacks and other minorities are every bit as capable as whites of succeeding is policeman environment a businessman you boy Doctors politicians and College teams yet for this belief conservatives are called racist the irony of course is that those who choose conservatives of being racist believe that blacks and other minorities are not as capable as whites of succeeding and therefore still need affirmative action almost a half century after it was first implement let's look at another issue with this contrast between conservatives and those who accuse them of being racist is even more starkly draw voter I d conse I'm gonna say that America should require that every voter present an idea and here she votes just as European countries do in order to help keep their elections honest are all these democracy is racist of course nine get the accuser say that conservatives who support voter id are are racist racist why why did did they say this because they are you it's really a ruse to prevent blacks and other minorities from voting since many of them just aren't capable of acquiring and I did can you get more contest And in that act let's be real you need an id to drive to fly to buy beer even to purchase some cold medicines white's can do it but blacks can't tell me who the races argan one more example it's conservatives who push for school vouchers which would allow all parents not just wealthy ones to choose their children's school it's the other side that doesn't trust minority parents to select an appropriate school for their children why are the people who compel black children to stay in term will schools the races at some point The you'll start asking yourself like I did who's really obsessed with race and whose policies really hurt blacks and minorities maybe it's not we think it is I'm degree It is racism still major problem in America President brock Obama certainly think so he said that racism is in our dna really if racism is in our dna doesn't mean it's in beautiful unchangeable but America has changed and dramatically song in 19 60 60 percent of Americans said they would never vote for a President almost 50 years later the black man who said racism is in america's dna was elected President and four years later reelected that's only the most His example of racial progress there are many others take interracial marriage is way in H fry of the brookings institution road sociologist have traditionally viewed multi racial marriage as the benchmark for the ultimate stage of assimilation of a particular group into society black White marriages were still illegal in 16 States until 19 67 and a 19 58 gallup poll found that only four percent of Americans approved of black White marriages today that number is Eighty seven percent in 19 60 of all marriages by blacks only one point seven percent were black White today at 12 percent and rising now what about racial profiling and abuse of blacks police doesn't prove that racism remains a major problem in the summer of two thousand and 14 ferguson Missouri became ground zero for this accusation when a White policeman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager while Department of Justice invest Ocean of the Internet cleared the officer of any wrong doing it did accuse the city's police Department of racial bias but what was the Justice Department reports most headline grabbing stead the gap between the percentage of blacks living in ferguson 67 percent and the percentage of those stopped by police for traffic violations who are black eighty five percent and eighteen point discrepancy racism right not so fast blacks comprise 25 Percent of New York city but account for 55 percent of those stopped for traffic offenses a 30 point discrepancy far bigger than that of or missing why isn't the Ny pd a Department at is now majority minority considered even more institutional erases than the ferguson pd the answer is you can not have an honest discussion about police conduct without an honest discussion of black crime the blacks are 13 percent of the population they commit 50 percent of the nation's homicides and almost always the victim Is another black person just as most White homicides are against other whites in 20 12 according to the Center for disease control police killed 100 and 23 blacks wild by the way chilling over twice as many whites but that same here blacks kill over six thousand people again mostly other blacks what about traffic stops unlike when responding to dispatch calls police officers exercise more discretion when it comes to traffic stops there are four races concert He have a field day when it comes to traffic stops right actually know the National Institute of Justice is the research agency of Department of Justice in 20 13 the National Institute Justice published study called race trust and police intimacy three out of four black drivers in minute that they were stopped by the police for a legitimate reason blacks compared to whites were on The average more likely to commit speeding and other traffic offenses the Institute rhode seatbelt usage is chronically lower among black drivers if a law enforcement agency aggressively enforces seat down violations police will stop more black drivers the jays conclusion these numerical disparities result from differences in offending in other words and not because of racism similarly the National highway safety administration also found that blacks violate traffic laws at higher rates than whites in every offense whether This driving without a license not wearing a seat belt not using a child safety seat or speed it is there still racism in America of course there is but racism is not in america's the recent history and a lot of research and data prove it and liberal Harvard sociologist orlando patterson said America is now the least racist White majority society in the world has a better record of legal protection and already in any other society White or black offers more opportunities to a gr Your number black persons than any other society including all of those of Africa passing by the way is black I'm Larry elder for prager University hi I'm Craig Smith siri see em of trigger you did you know that prager you is a non profit Organization we rely on donations to keep our videos free and keep reaching more people so consider a donation today we appreciate it years ago I interview calais see and flew me than the President of the naacp as between the presence of why Racism and the absence of black fathers I ask him which poses a bigger threat to the community without missing a beat he said the absence of black fathers it was President barack Obama who said we all know the statistics that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in present the Journal Research on adolescent confirms that even after controlling for varying levels of household income kids in father absent homes are more likely to end up in jail and kids who never had a father in the House are the most likely to wind up behind bars in 19 65 percent of Americans children into the world without a mother and father married to each other by 19 eighty eight it was eighteen percent by two thousand it it Come to 33 percent and 15 years later the number reached 41 percent for blacks even during slavery when marriage for slaves was illegal black children were more likely than today to be raised by both their mother and father economist walter Williams has written that according to census data from eighteen 90 to 19 48 black child was more likely to grow up with married parents than a White child for blacks What a wedlock births have gone from 25 percent in 19 65 to 73 percent in 20 15 for whites from less than five percent to over 25 percent and for hispanics out of wedlock births have risen to 53 percent what happen to father's the answer is found in a basic law of economics if you subsidize undesirable behavior you will get more desirable behavior in 19 49 Nation's poverty rate with 34 percent by 19 65 he was cut in half to 17 percent all before President lyndon Johnson so-called war on poverty but after that war began in 19 65 party begin to flat line from 19 65 until now the government has spent over 20 trillion dollars to fight poverty the poverty rate has remained unchanged but the relationship between poor men and women has changed dramatically that's because our Interest welfare system allows women in effect to marry the government and this makes it all too easy for men to abandon their traditional moral and financial responsibilities psychologists call such dependency learned helplessness how do we know that the welfare state creates this incentives that hurt the very people we're trying to help they tell us in 19 eighty five the Los Angeles times ask both the poor and the non poor weather poor women often have children to get additional benefits most of the non poor respond As As said said no no however however 64 64 percent percent of poor respondents said yes now who do you think is in a better position to know to parks your core the late rapper once said I know know for for a a fact fact that the had I had a father I have some discipline I have confidence he admitted admitted he he began began running running with with gangs because he wanted the things a father gives to a child especially to to a a structure structure and protection your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can shakur said you need a man to teach you how to be a man in my book Your father dear son I write about my rough tough world war two Marine staff sergeant dad born in the Jim crow South of Athens Georgia he was 14 at the start of the depression growing up I watched my father worked two full time jobs and the janitor he also cook for rich family on the weekends and somehow manage to go to night school to get his G d when I was 10 my father open a small restaurant that he ran until he retired in his mid eighties he was never angry or better And insisted that today is America was very different from the world of segregation and limited opportunity in which he grew up hard work wins he told me and my brothers you get out of life what you put into it you can't control the outcome but you are 100 percent in control of the effort and before blaming other people go to the nearest mirror and ask yourself what could I have done to change the outcome this advice shape my life fathers matter Until we have a government policy that makes that gets gets first first priority priority nothing nothing will change I'm Larry elder for prager University when you think about racial equality and civil rights which political party comes to mine the Republicans or the Democrats most people would probably say the Democrats but this answer is incorrect since its founding in eighteen 29 the Democratic has fought against every major civil rights and they shouldn't have and has a long history of discrimination the Democratic party defended Slavery started the civil war opposed reconstruction fan that the coup klux klan imposed segregation perpetrated lynching and Ford against the civil rights acts of the 19 fifties and 19 sixties in contrast the Republican party was founded in eighteen 54 as an anti slavery party its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new Western territories with the aim of abolishing it Internally this athlete high ever was dealt a major blow by the Supreme court in the eighteen 57 case dred Scott vs saying put the cord ruled that slaves on citizens their property the seven justices who voted in favor of slavery all Democrats the two justices will dissenting both Republicans the slavery question was of course alternately resolved by bloody civil war The commander in chief during that war was the first Republican President lincoln the man who freed the slaves six days after the confederate army so wind it John wilkes booth a Democrat assassinated President lincoln lincoln's vice President a Democrat named Andrew Johnson assume the presidency but Johnson animate Lee pose lincoln's plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the cells economic and social order Johnson and the damn Credit party we're unified in that opposition to the thirteenth amendment which slavery the fourteenth amendment which gave black citizenship and the fifteenth amendment which gave blacks the boat all three past only because of universal Republican support during the era of reconstruction federal troops station in the sound helps secure rights but the newly freed slaves hundreds of black man were elected to seven state legislatures as we publican and 22 by Like Republican served in the us Congress by 19 hundred the Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 19 35 but reconstruction and it when the better or choose when home Democrats and Roy back into power in the side they quickly wrist and wish White supremacy across the region with measures like black codes laws that restricted the ability of blackstone property and run businesses and they impose poll taxes and literacy test used to sub Red black Seasons right to vote and how is all of this in force by tara much of it instigated by the coup klux klan founded by Democrat nathan bedford forrest and sister in Earth phone him simple Democrat notes in effect the klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party President woodrow Wilson a Democrat shared many views with the claim he researcher gated many friends or agencies and even screen the first movie ever played at the White House the racist spam the birth of a nation a Recently entitled the clients meant a few decades later now only serious opposition to the landmark civil rights act of 19 64 came from Democrats percent of Republicans in Congress supported the bill less than 70 percent of Democrats the Democratic senators filibustered the bill but 75 days until Republicans mustard the few extra votes needed to break the log jam and when all of that and pete's to enslave black keep them in slade and then keep them from voting had Field the Democrats came up with a new strategy if black people going to vote they might as well vote for Democrat as President lyndon Johnson was supported tim saying about the civil rights thank I have them voting Democrat for 200 is so now the Democratic party prosperous on the votes of the very people it is spend much of its history are pressing Democrats falsely claim that the Republican party is the bill and when in reality it's the Bell policies of the Democratic party that have camp blacks name massive government welfare Is decimated the black family opposition to school choice has get them tramp in balance those politically correct policing has left black neighborhood the best place against violent crime so when you think about racial equality and civil right which party should come to mine I'm carol swain but best of science and law at vanderbilt University for prager University he was made Killeen
