Insurrection in NC
While I know some of you wish this were a current headline, it's not really. Instead, it's the conclusion of a committee that investigated the infamous race riot of 1898.
The violence was against black people and "was part of a statewide effort to put white supremacist Democrats in office and stem the political advances of black citizens." Next time you hear Democrats screaming about racism towards blacks, remember that historically it was the Republicans who wanted to free the slaves. It was the Democrats that enacted Jim Crow laws and did all they could to keep them in slavery. Sorry, just had to bring that up because so many blacks today will only vote Democrat and at the same time scream about years of slavery. If you want to bring up slavery and who's responsible, start looking to your own party. Me, I'd prefer just to leave it all behind and move forward, not seeing people by the color of their skin. Unfortunately, the Democrats and the "black leadership" will only see people by the color of their skin.

Increasingly when I talk to my Black friends I find they have values and beliefs much closer to mine than to the Democratic party. Sooner or later the liberals are going to have to stop taking these people for granted or risk loosing them.

OH, but didn't you know, we are SUPPOSED to see only the color of a person's skin, then make sure to NOT hire, quote, befriend, give money to, ect... WHITE people!
Basically, because some Portuguese traders and MORE POWERFUL tribes in Africa decided they could profit by selling Africans into slavery, and then said slaves (albeit a MINISCULE percentage) were brought to and sold to people in the US, now we are to reverse it completely and GIVE EVERYTHING to black people. Funny, I thought they just wanted to "get along" (Rodney King), and I thought a very prominant man once said he "had a dream" (MLK), but I guess I was wrong.

Know what's interesting? One year when I ran for an elected office, I stood and talked with a guy at a BBQ for about 10 minutes. He happened to be black, but we were discussing politics (it was a political BBQ). We were in total agreement about EVERYTHING.
When we were done talking, I asked him for his vote. He said something along the lines of "Sorry, I can't. I have to vote Democrat."

I was pretty impressed by what Morgan Freeman said to Mike Wallace about Black History month.
