Lincoln. Yes he and his republican party freed the slaves… The dimocrats fought it tooth and nail, then formed the KKK.
Yes, Fred your ancestors were Democrats and you have carried their torch proudly, even as a republican.
“In 1868, Grant was elected president as a Republican. Grant was the first president to serve for two full terms since Andrew Jackson forty years before. He led Radical Reconstruction and built a powerful patronage-based Republican party in the South, with the adroit use of the army. He took a hard line that reduced violence by groups like the Ku Klux Klan.”

That’s what happened between 1861-1870 and it remained that way for a long time. Then after 1964, racist white Democrats from the South and Midwest became Republicans, a process that didn’t hit its zenith until recently. You know that, though.

Poor Fred, got an “F” for not doing his homework before posting his opinion.
And what effect did the happenings of 1964 (assuming they’re true, which they’re not) would effect what happened with Lincoln, william??
You’re saying happenings 100 years later discredit Lincoln william??
No one should be discredited based on their party affiliation, that is what Obama is all about, he wants us to judge people as people and not continue this US versus THEM mentality that you and other seem to enjoy. Republican, Democrat, Independent, no party designation...they are all people...just as Blacks, Asians, Whites and Hispanics are all people. Judge PEOPLE by the quality of their Character as MLK said, Rather than the color of their skin or the political party they belong to. Don’t worry Fred, if you do not understand these complex concepts now, in time soon to be President Obama will show you and help you understand it by modeling this behavior in his own actions and the actions of his cabinet.

Thats a load of crap, Bill. If OB wanted it to be just people, he would acknowledge that he is part white as well, bi-racial at least. But no, he continues to be acknowledged as “The First Black President”. And speak of equality. He doesn’t. He is black and that is that. And you acknowledged that you are a racist against white people. You must be embarrassed of yourself.

Michelle, he is only echoing the character of our society that people especially int he DEEP South want to hold onto so dearly, like their “Guns” and their “Bibles.” You tell me what box he has to check on any application or the birth certificate of a mixed race child. There is no category and that is the way that the White Majority wants it. What is the percentage that makes you white instead of black? Is it 1/8th is it 1/16th...is it 1/20th? Ask FRED he can tell you.
