Don’t Know Much About History
Republicans and Black Americans — a better story than you’ve heard.
Poet W. H. Auden said professors are folks who talk in other people’s sleep. True enough. I recall some nodding off in my college history classes (not by me, of course).
No one, however, slept through the history lesson Tuesday night at the monthly meeting of the Hillsborough County (Tampa) Republican Executive Committee. But then Frantz Kebreau is not your ordinary professor. If fact, he’s not a professor at all but an airline pilot and former Navy pilot with more than 300 carrier landings, taking some time away from the clouds to promote a more earthly understanding of the blessings of American freedom that people of all races can enjoy (at least and until politicians zero those freedoms out).
One of the favorite indoor sports of liberals is to call conservatives, particularly those with the temerity to embrace the tea-party, racist. To hear media-appointed black “leaders” like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie, not to mention some of the more demagogic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you’d think all white American conservatives, regardless of protestations to the contrary and spotless lives, are closet Ku-Kluxers who can barely contain their inner Bull Connor. These bigots we’re told, given half a chance, would have our black brothers and sisters on the back of the bus again in a heartbeat.
When there’s dumbness and demagogy in the air, Hollywood will be heard from. Morgan Freeman, a fine actor who can project intelligence and maturity on the screen, got in on the fun saying Republican efforts to retire Barack O’Barnum next year are “a racist thing,” and show “the weak, dark side of America.” Samuel L. Jackson, another black actor, echoed Freeman with this analysis of the campaign to replace our socialist president with a conservative: “It all boils down pretty much to race. It’s not politics. It’s not the economy.”
OK, I get it. White conservatives and Republicans (not entirely coterminous categories) aren’t really sore with O’Barnum for ballooning the national debt by $4 trillion and making national bankruptcy a real possibility, or for nationalizing one-sixth of the economy through Obamacare and generally trying to push as much as possible from the private to the public sector. It’s not about setting federal agencies on a jobs-killing regulation binge, or for traveling the world apologizing for America’s alleged sins and bowing before tyrants. It’s not his rejection of American exceptionalism and total ignorance of the importance to world stability of a militarily strong America either.
No, no. These items are just trifles. What conservatives are really sore with our community-organizer-in-chief about is that he’s not Caucasian. And isn’t that just like those racist Republicans?
Kebreau, whose parents immigrated to America from Haiti, is having none of this. Since 2009 he’s been on the news, talk shows, and speaking circuit making the point that, though few Americans know it, the record of the Republican Party for a century and a half has not only been more supportive of Black Americans than that of the Democratic Party has, but much more so.
In his Tuesday lecture before a couple hundred GOP activists in Tampa, Kebreau pointed out that the more than a dozen civil rights acts introduced into Congress over the past century and a half were all introduced by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, often vociferously. In each case a higher percentage of Republicans supported real civil rights than Democrats, including the all-important Civil Right Act of 1964. A full 80 percent of Republicans voted in Congress for this game-changing legislation that was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. Only 63 percent of Democrats supported it, not including Democratic icon and former Ku Klux Klan member Robert C. Byrd, who filibustered it.
One hundred percent of Republicans supported the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which ended slavery, while only 23 percent of Democrats did. The 15th amendment, giving all Americans the right to vote, was a 100 percent to zero percent Republican shutout.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson, our first true progressive president and touted by John Kerry as one of his favorites, segregated the federal civil service and the U.S. military and bears large responsibility for the decades of segregation that followed and the heartache, violence, and death required to put an end to it.
These historical facts are hiding in plain sight. But we live in an age of historical illiteracy. And these are not things members of the main(left)-stream media would like to talk about even if they knew them, which they don’t.
Nowadays black voters, usually in percentages north of 90 percent, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Democratic Party. Things have been trending in this direction since the New Deal, which provided jobs for many unemployed blacks. The last Republican presidential candidate to receive more than 20 percent of the black vote was Tricky Dick in 1960.
Since then black voter devotion to the Democratic Party has been, excuse the expression, slavish. It’s a real head-scratcher to me on the academic and personal level why this endures now that so many blacks have entered the great American middle class and higher. I’ve known, worked with, played ball with, and buried my nose in the happy-hour froth with so many blacks who are personally conservative, but who almost invariably cast their votes for candidates who do not share their values.
In contrast to the gift of freedom and earned dignity, Democrats and liberals have bequeathed black Americans a stifling welfare system that’s gone more than a fair long way toward dismantling the black family, as the melancholy statistics on out of wedlock births and one-parent families testify to. The Democrats also invented and cling to the policy of affirmative action, which is not a cure for discrimination but a socially corrosive form of it. There’s hardly a more effective way of keeping Americans at war with each other than the racial spoils system of affirmative action, wherein the good things are divided up along racial lines.
Countless groups, like Tampa’s Republicans, as well as news junkies, have heard Kebreau make these and other points in pursuit of his stated goal of a truly color-blind society. The only kind of society, in Kebreau’s view, which has any chance of enduring peacefully and prosperously.
Kebreau told me he probably won’t stay on the road pitching his ideas for the duration, even if he continues to get the standing-O’s he received Tuesday night. But he’ll stay at it until after the 2012 election, because he’s concerned about the socialist direction the country is taking. He sees the freedoms he cherishes being threatened and eroded, and he doesn’t like it.
Kebreau will eventually make it back to the cockpit. When his flying days are over he could do worse than consider the classroom. He’s an acute thinker, a tireless researcher, and a talented speaker who will not have to pass out NoDoz tablets to his students to keep their attention.

Blacks are also very musical and good at sports. They should contcentrate on these areas. Politics is too difficult for them the comprehend, It is best left to white democrats who know and understand waht negroes need.
oldfart| 10.20.11 @ 8:05AM
One motive of the Democratic Party is to keep the african-americans on the plantation while the 'appointed' black overseers gets to sleep in the cabin with the wood floor and the rest live in cabins with dirt floors. It is the job of the black overseer to keep the rest in line by telling them to be thankful they are not living in a tent provided by the evil racist Republicans.
Oh - by the way there are empty McMansions down the road that ANYONE can live in if you are willing to work for it.
The comments on Woodrow Wilson (a democrat) are dead on accurate. The US Military was integrated until Wilson became president. We would have had universal medical care – Richard Nixon (a Republican) was pushing it but was killed by Teddy Kennedy because he would not be able to take credit for it.
Whatever the Democrats are pushing is a lie and a distraction.
Hank Rearden| 10.20.11 @ 8:14AM
Good article, but where did you get the idea that the New Deal employed a lot of blacks? The Agricultural Adjustment Act threw black sharecroppers off the land they were working in favor of white landowners. The Davis Bacon Act was designed to assure that federal work was done by union labor, and unions were segregated.
Lullabys, Legends and Lies| 10.20.11 @ 8:14AM
I think 2008 was the high water mark for the Democratic Party concerning Black voting loyalty. From here on out, I think that 90% plus number is going to start falling (slowly, but surely), especially if the economy turns around with a Republican Congress and Republican President in 2012. The spell has been broken!! The truth has been exposed!! Or as Post American puts it so wel, HUAC meets NUREMBERBG, FUKISHIMA, EUGENISTS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, TOYOTA!!

Margie| 10.20.11 @ 2:33PM
Yeah but I wonder though. If ya think about it, I wonder just how many blacks are changing their minds nowadays.
I live in an area where blacks outnumber whites, some of which are really fed up.
They hear the words, the false promises, but only see things getting worse.
They want to be self sufficient, they have dignity.
They are changing their minds.
I've said before that the one good thing we can THANK Obama for is that he has served to wake people up more than any other President in history.. woke them up to the reality that is Leftism, Socialism, Liberalism, and it's pal~ Marxism.
yeah, thanks Obama! Your chickens are coming home to roost, and your goose is cooked!!
Ha!
Great post as always, LLL's.
James Lee| 10.21.11 @ 6:06PM
Margie, I have not heard it expressed before, but your comment that Obama has awaken people is dead on. That is exactly what has happened with his presidency and with the not too far removed Democrat super majorities in both houses of Congress.
Their abysmal, audacious attitude and behavior was so brilliantly on display that no one could miss it. And people knew they had to rise up (ergo 2010 election results).
JimH| 10.20.11 @ 8:33AM
Some civil rights legislation was opposed by conservatives on the basis of constitutional grounds (state’s rights, among other things) and got smeared for sticking to principles. The real tie between black voters and the Democrat party came with Great Society legislation and an increasingly urbanized black population that the Democrats running most of the large cities tried to co-opt, particularly as whites headed for the suburbs.
Louis Jenkins| 10.20.11 @ 9:02AM
I guess I'm a racist then. Why do the Democrats reign supreme over the blacks? Well, they pander to get their votes and the apparent congressional leaders, who are black and white, are their default leaders. The article speaks the truth. Have you ever met a black who dislikes Obama? I have, and the anger against that man is manifest.
John Navratil| 10.20.11 @ 9:20AM

Seek| 10.20.11 @ 12:09PM
You've got it backwards. It isn't Democrats who rule over blacks; it's blacks who rule over Democrats. What do you think would happen if a white Democrat called for an end to affirmative action? He'd be persona non grata in a New York minute.
Radical blacks? Democrats can have 'em. As a Republican, I don't want to pretend they're one of us. They're not.

The problem is he is speaking to a audience that agrees with him. This message is great but I'm not sure it's reaching the right ears. Until we figure a way to get the message to the right people we most likely will not see the attitude change much. Then again Obama may be doing our work for us as his popularity amoung minorities is starting to drop.
Seek| 10.20.11 @ 12:12PM
We've been "reaching out" to blacks for more than 40 years. Give it up. It ain't gonna happen. The blacks know all too well what real conservatives stand for. They just don't like it. Too bad. Certain principles can't be compromised.

One point left out is the abortion issue! Most republicans support pro-life issues, while it is very difficult to find a single democratic that supports the unborn. ( yes, we all can name one or two). The fact of the matter is that there is 135 abortions in the black community for every 100 live births. Republicans know the tragedy that abortion inflictes on the black community! :(
Dave Williams| 10.20.11 @ 12:56PM
...and the flip side of that is that more black abortions lead to fewer black adults, which the Demon-rat party is PERFECTLY comfortable with. Read Margaret Sanger (godmother of the modern abortion movement) on the subject.....chilling...
Occam's Tool| 10.22.11 @ 7:18PM
Yup. Liberals are all in favor of black baby killing, including the POTUS, who favors killing his own potential grandchildren to avoid a "mistake."
"When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include -- which should include abstinence education and teaching the children -- teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." BarackObama (I don't disagree with his comments on HIV---I do on babies.)

If I told you a story of a wealthy planet that government gave a particular group of its citizens money if its families rid themselves of the father, offered and encouraged free abortions, and allowed these citizens to remain on this free money for generations, you might think that this government was attempting to enslave these people and slowly kill them off. If I then told you I talked with a few of them and found out that they have actually gotten these people to support this government, you would think this to be diabolical.

Ron| 10.20.11 @ 12:58PM
Folks, it got really simple....Once the Demon-rats realized they could institute a welfare state, and they targeted persons (white and black, etc.) who would look at working hard and making less honestly, versus not working and receiving a public dole, they had their base. Once that occurred, it became generational. And so it goes...
cicero| 10.20.11 @ 1:07PM
The most popular history textbook used on American college campusses is the "Peoples History of the United States", authored by the late Howard Ginn (vice pres. of the CPUSA) I had the occasion to read it a few years ago when it was sent to me by one of my daughters who was taking the American History course at Western Michigan U. What a hoot! Everyone in america was a victim, and the American way was oppressive to all but the chosen few. No wonder our population is so ignorant when it comes to our own history. This is what our teachers are taught.

WhiteBikerTrash| 10.20.11 @ 1:30PM
On the plantation of old how did the slave owner keep the slaves enslaved? He kept the slave dependent on the master, for food clothing and lodging. This worked best if the slave was born into slavery, because they knew no other life or living options. To keep them uninformed about options reading was actually illegal for a slave, and to teach one to read? To the Progressive Democrat of that time, Sin!!
Another control method of many was the destruction, or not allowing forming, of the nuclear family. Slaves were not allowed to marry, nor create any form of family relationship; therefore the slave’s allegiance could only be to the master!
To see the future, look to the past.

Those of us who watch the "crazy" Glenn Beck already know this stuff. History can be tricky, unless you pay attention. It's all right there, out in the open in black and white. Learn about how Blacks really contributed during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Don't accept the tripe that has been distilled by racist Democrats about our Black heritage.

Thanks, Mr. Thornberry. Among other disturbing acts, Woodrow Wilson screened the racist Birth of a Nation at the White House and gave the film great prominence at a crucial moment when race relations might have begun to shift in a better direction, thus aiding a violent backwards step from progress.

Perhaps we should have an annual Republican celebration of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and recall the names of the Democrats that voted against it, such as Al Gore Sr., J. William Fulbright, et al, and re-tell the story of how President Lyndon Johnson went to Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen and asked him for help in getting it passed. We ought to name the Democrats who fought it and how they were, years later, lionized by people like Democrat Bill Clinton, who called Fulbright his mentor. I believe we ought to make this a ceremonial revisitation with great pomp and drama every year and a celebration of how Republicans enabled civil rights. At that same annual ceremony we can re-call Democrat Woodrow Wilson's racism that re-segregated government and Republican Warren Harding's attempts to reverse that and his support for an anti-lynching law stopped by a Democrat filibuster. Oh, I know. We could call it a Lincoln Day Dinner an invite the press.
David T| 10.20.11 @ 4:17PM
Liberals say it doesn't matter that in 1964 more Republicans supported the Civil Rights Act than Democrats: The southern Democrats who voted against the Act would be today's conservative Republicans and the Republicans who voted for the Act would be today's liberal Democrats.
Jack London| 10.20.11 @ 4:41PM
Not quite, but it's indisputable that the Dixiecrats were not progressives (although some such as Fulbright changed their minds on race). It's absurd to insinuate that today's Dems hold the same views on race as the Dixies.
Occam's Tool| 10.22.11 @ 7:22PM
Dear Jack: Wilson was a Progressive, and a racist.
Unlike you, I have to deal with the effects of Federal policy towards minorities (in my case Chippewa Indians) every day.
If you wanted to design a system that would ensure hopelessness, corrupt government, drug addiction, child abuse, rape, violence, and school shootings; you couldn't do better than the Democrat designed welfare system the Tribe possesses. The same holds true for inner city Blacks, who I treated during my residency in Los Angeles.
They may think they've evolved, but their outcomes are even WORSE than the Dixiecrats. Sorry, Jack. Get a darned clue.
ejp| 10.20.11 @ 5:00PM
Unfortunately, much of the obfuscation that goes on to this day can be traced to the fact that the big face of the conservative movement in 1964, Barry Goldwater, voted against the Civil Rights Act and that for conservatives IMO remains the single most deadly albatross that has prevented them from making proper inroads with the black community ever since. Yes, I know Goldwater's reasons were Constitutional and not racist, and I know about Goldwater's prior history of supporting integration, but the bottom line is that if Barry Goldwater had a drop of common sense he would have understood how his vote would have been construed and how it would have made it difficult to get blacks to see the common cause they had with conservative principles on many levels. So long as the Left can throw Barry Goldwater's vote back at us, it sadly is going to drown out all the other facts about the racist Democrats who voted against it.
The fact that Goldwater picked that issue to be so principled about is incidentally the reason why I regarded him to be the ultimate of hypocrites when he spent his advancing years attacking the Religious Right for being too rigid and dogmatic. Of course by then, Barry was happy to be the darling boy of the elite liberals by stabbing conservatives in the back.
Should Have Impeached| 10.20.11 @ 8:12PM
Yeah, I believe I heard or read someone saying that although the Republican Party used to not be racist, it BECAME racist nonetheless.
Well, I guess you just can't win.
Philip Pettus' idea of re-educating the public via ceremonial means, etc., sounds like a good idea.... Or a few very rich conservatives should do a documentary about the true history of the Republican Party vs. the Democratic Party, highlighting just the points everyone has made in these posts... and NOT REST until it's shown over and over again on PBS everywhere!!! (And on other outlets too of course.) (Pay 'em enough, they'll let you show it.)

Blacks are most concerned with 'who's going to take care of us' than freedom - the country's founding principle.
Rich Rostrom| 10.22.11 @ 1:32AM
The Republican Party championed civil rights for blacks in the 1800s - but we dropped the ball after 1876. Even when Republicans held the Presidency and dominated Congress, we let the white supremacist Dixiecrats have their way.
When the Depression hit, northern blacks (poor and urban) found FDR's New Deal more attractive than the stale memory of Lincoln. Also, Republicans did nothing about segregation outside the South.
After WW II, it was liberal Democrats who picked up the civil-rights ball and ran with it. Most Republicans supported them, but we didn't lead the charge. And in 1964, Goldwater voted against the Civil Rights Act and then was nominated for President by Republicans.
The "southern strategy" of Nixon cemented the change. Nixon enforced the civil rights laws, but he didn't play up the issue. That allowed white Southerners to break free of their reflexive loyalty to the Democrats and switch over to the Republicans. But it also allowed Democrats to monopolize black voters.
I don't see that education about the Solid South before WW II or about Reconstruction is going to do much. Black voters are less affected by that than by more recent history.
I do think that Republicans should seek black votes. The conventional wisdom among GOP "experts" has been that black voters cannot be won over, and that any Republican activity would just stir up black turnout. That principle should be discarded.
We can win over a large tranche of black voters without pandering, just by emphasizing our positions on immigration,, abortion, and gay marriage.
mike harris| 10.22.11 @ 10:18AM
When will someone make a film about Jesse James which shows the truth about this 'ruffian'? The gang are usually portrayed as wearing long white coats-this is a puzzler until you realise that when he robbed he put on his KKK hood (well, a precursor of such). James was a slave-owning anti-abolitionist, and a murderer and rapist for good measure-part of those brigands known in Missouri as 'ruffians'. People in the USA have hardly any knowledge of their true history, even those who think they have..it's just as bad here in England, where in a survey 30% of youths thought that Margaret Thatcher was the PM during the Second World War!
