I found this video and these words to be interesting ( I don't fully agree with them all) but decided to blog it. I don't really care to place blame or shame on anyone, I am just glad America at large is finally forced to come face to face with itself where race is concerned. And I quote......
Which party has deeper racist roots?
April 4th, 2008 marked the fortieth anniversary of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have definitely made progress- well, at least some of us have.
On this momentous day Frank looks back at the evolution of the Democratic and Republican parties. Rightists try in desperation to hide their racist roots with fantasies and half-truths about the Democratic party. They paint efforts to compensate for the atrocities of slavery and discrimination that lasted in bold form until just the end of the 1960's as the opposite of what they are- racist.
We can only fantasize about the outrage and demands that a white America would make if the tables were turned. Forty acres and a mule? Ha! Many of todays white power elites cry like babies if they have to pay their taxes to the nation they claim to love so much!
One conservative was brave enough to admit the truth: "It was the liberal wing of the Democratic Party that ended segregation." --Newt Gingrich
Fox News, they are the jaws of confusion. People do not want to accept the fact That MLK was even more fiery than Wright. This country will always be divided. Ithink it's getting to the point where it is more classism going on as well. But at the end of the day the idea of white supremecy has a firm grip on this country and it flows through the unconcience and unfortunatly for some people of color it breeds unconfidence. Good footage.Very interesting Priest...Write on
Powerful message and video... Yes we as a societ still want to ignore this big issue... Race and Racism shall forever be connected... What I'm saying maybe one day we can all be honest as america is a melting pot but still wants to keep the black race down...
