How can this be? I could swear Progressives have been claiming the Tea Party to be racist.

Black Conservatives Form The Crispus Attucks Tea Party in Houston Texas

Quote:
Our primary objective is to break the cycles of dependency and decay that continue to anesthetize and hold captive too many Black families and neighborhoods. We provide continuing series of speakers, seminars, training and practical business support services designed to help Blacks fully assimilate into and be competitive in American society. Our objective is to teach all Americans the fullness of the history of Blacks in America and to help Blacks gain control of their lives and the destiny of their children. Only by understanding our full and true history will we all of America be liberated.

Enter stage left, “The Great Society” which offered “An FDR Chicken In Every Pot” and “An LBJ Check In Every Mail Box”.

A good example of getting history misconstrued.

You have to take in the reality of the chasm that existed in terms of "race over class". A great example hiding in plain sight is the New Deal -- New Deal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (“An FDR Chicken In Every Pot” and “An LBJ Check In Every Mail Box”) to the advent of the Civil Rights Act -- Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It took thirty years to bridge that gap, legislatively speaking, to resolve the issue of race over class.

This sounds like a good thing. Hopefully it is successful.

It's a shame what the progressives have done to blacks in this country. A shame.

You mean helping them get the right to vote, ending school segregation, and ending slavery was a shame?

Why do you feel that way?

ending Segregation was done by the SC not democrats.

The voting rights act of 1965 guaranteeing black votes was voted by a higher percent of republican then democrats.
In fact only 19 Senators voted against it , 17 were democrats 2 were republican. And the grand wizard of the KKK Senator Byrd filibustered the act. In the house 61 Dem's voted against it compared to 24 republicans.

Voting Rights Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slavery was ended by a republican congress and president.

I'm the last person to support lifetime welfare and permanent affirmative action and all that, but this is an absurd statement. The ONLY reason there can even be a splintering of black political ideology is because of the work progressives have done over the past 170 years to end slavery, provide equal rights under the law, and provide opportunities to compete.

That's a ridiculous statement look at the history of this country. It's the Conservatives that have stood in the way of civl rights every step of the way. Whether it's been civil rights of Asian's, Blacks, Latino, Gays and Lesbians or just about any other non-White, non-Christian group in this country.

I didn't say Republican or Democratic party. The Republican Party used to be the progressive party and the Democratic party was the conservative party of the South.

The Republican party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower gave way to the party of Falwell, Helms, and Thurmond.
