History: GOP elected first 21 black people to US House, 67 years before first black Democrat. First blacks in the Senate were all GOP too

Since the Sherrod controversy is pretty much all anyone is talking or writing about, I'll finish off my Sunday blogging with this apropos post. 67 years before the first black Democrat was elected to the US House of Representatives, Republicans elected their first, and 20 after that before Arthur Wergs Mitchell was elected in 1935 to serve his district in Illinois.From Fact Real: HISTORY: THE FIRST BLACKS IN CONGRESS WERE ALL REPUBLICANS (photos, bios)

Republicans – the racists? In 1868, Republicans elected the first black person to represent them in Congress. There were no black Democrats in Congress until 1935. For almost seven decades Republicans were the ONLY ONES electing blacks to Congress. Here are the historical facts:

There's more at the link, but you have to believe that all of these men are turning over in their graves at about 10 RPM right now knowing that the Democrat Party that foisted and fought for enslaving black people in the 19th century, did the same thing in the 20th and into the 21st centuries - shackling to black population to hopelessness and dependency on the Democrat Party. Back then, it was through physical force. Today, it is through political force as any black person not towing the liberal line is branded an Uncle Tom or a porch money of the white man. Democrats are the ones that run failed minority urban schools, failed minority urban cities (read: Detroit), have replaced the father with the government via welfare, etc. The list is endless, but there is only one result - the lifelong dependency of the black community on the Democrat apparatus via social programs specifically designed to shackle them. The Democrats have institutionalized black people to where they cannot be free. Democrat social programs are methods of control. The victim mentality was installed in black communities by Democrats. Affirmative action separates people by their race. Us against them. Black versus white. The party of identity politics divides people and judges them by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character. Democrats have kept blacks down in the plantations of failed urban environments with failed public schools that only teach hopelessness, doomed to continue voting for Democrats to get handouts that they have been convinced they are entitled to. And Democrats continue to to reap many votes from people's misery that they themselves have created. It's time that the black community wakes up and starts to vote for freedom, including their own, and their inalienable right to self determination that those centuries ago fought for.
