Carol Swain will lay it out for you…

“…there is a Party with a long history of racism and sexism, but it ain’t Republican.”

The history of what the Republican Party has done for blacks and women is replete with firsts that the Democrat Party wishes they could keep hidden…but ‘the truth will out’.

The Republican Party…

• started in 1854, to defeat polygamy and slavery;
• gave blacks freedom w-the 13th Amendment;
• gave blacks citizenship w- the 14th amendment;
• gave blacks voting rights  w- the 15th amendment;
• 1870, first black Senator and congressman sworn in – both Republicans;
• until 1935 all black representatives in the House were Republicans;
• all black Senators until 1979 were Republicans;
• first female member of Congress was a Republican;
• first Hispanic Governor and Senator was Republican;
• first Asian Senator was Republican;
• first anti-bigamy act passed by Republican Congress in 1862;
• women given the right to vote by a Republican Congress ratifying the 19th amendment after 52 years of Democrat opposition;
• integration forced in Little Rock Arkansas by Republican president in 1957, despite overt opposition by Democrats;
• every Republican senator supported the 1960 Civil Rights Act that Democrats filibustered for 152 hours;
• due to overwhelming Republican support, the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed;

Ms. Swain went on to say, while the Republicans treat blacks and women as equals, the Democrat Party – TO THIS DAY – “treats blacks and women as victims who aren’t capable of succeeding on their own”.

It bears repeating…

“…there is a Party with a long history of racism and sexism, but it ain’t Republicans.”
