I had the privilege of interviewing Frances Rice for my radio show in 2008. For those unfamiliar, Dr. Rice chairs the National Black Republican Association. As such, she easily ranks as one of America’s foremost apologists for conservative matters. She has actually managed to outdo herself with her latest work, entitled “In Commemoration of Juneteenth – The Celebration of Black Freedom”. In the article,(Click here to read), Dr. Rice takes the reader on a systematic and devastating tour of the history of the Democrat Party in America, a party established, defined, and perpetuated by its support of and for slavery and segregation. For example:
Southern Democrats passed discriminatory Black Codes in 1865 to suppress, restrict, and deny
blacks the same privileges as whites. The Codes forced blacks to serve as apprentices to their
former slave masters.
In 1866, the Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats to lynch and terrorize Republicans, black and
white, and the Ku Klux Klan became the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.Undaunted, Democrats passed discriminatory Jim Crow Laws in 1875 to restrict the rights of blacks to
use public facilities. In response, Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 which prohibited
racial discrimination in public facilities.
Shamefully, Democrats fought against anti-lynching laws, and when the Democrats regained control
of Congress in 1892, they passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil right laws enacted by
Republicans.
One could safely venture that the majority of Americans are unaware of this history, or, would attribute it to conservatives and/or the Republican Party, proving Churchill’s assertion that “History is writtenby the victors”. The Democrat victory comes in the form of dominance of the academy by its liberal members, who dominate the teaching and journalism professions. This legacy of misinformation will be countered by the efforts of people like Dr. Rice and Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby. If the national Republican Party is serious about winning elections again, it would do well to enlist Dr. Rice as a spokesperson.
