Black Lives Matter - Ch 11
WE AS A RACE OF PEOPLE
We as a race of people need to educate ourselves about history. We need to refuse to accept what is being said. We must do our own research and be willing to change our minds when the facts of a police shooting is reveal, and from the hands of blacks against blacks.
Allow me to take you deeper into the rabbit hole of truth. What you are about to read is the truth. What you do with it is entirely up to you.
What political parties use to believe that black lives matter and what the political party did not believe that black lives matter?
Here is the following truth from my research. Again, what you do with it is entirely up to you.
Once more, back in the day, what political party demonstrated by their actions that black lives matter?
WHAT POLITICAL PARTY STOOD FOR THE BLACKS
And from their actions, black lives matter? It was the Republicans. I have heard that it was the Democrats that fought for the rights for the blacks. I accepted it because it was the norm.
Also did you know this, police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage. Wake up you who are sleeping while you are awake.
HISTORICAL FACTS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT ARE NOT TAUGHT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
On this national holiday it is important to remember the true history of the US Civil Rights movement in the United States.
On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find.

On April 20, 1871 the Republicans passed the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act outlawing Democratic terrorist groups.
The Miller Center reported:
On April 20, 1871, at the urging of President Ulysses Grant, Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act. Also known as the third Enforcement Act, the bill was a controversial expansion of federal authority designed to give the federal government additional power to protect voters. The act established penalties in the form of fines and jail time for attempts to deprive citizens of equal protection under the laws and gave the President the authority to use federal troops and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in ensuring that civil rights were upheld.
Founded as a fraternal organization by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan soon became a paramilitary group devoted to the overthrow of Republican governments in the South and the reassertion of white supremacy. Through murder, kidnapping, and violent intimidation, Klansmen sought to secure Democratic victories in elections by attacking black voters and, less frequently, white Republican leaders.
Republicans led the charge on civil rights and women’s rights.
