Dakota Beacon

Hillary cannot escape her heritage and the old adage “You are known by the company you keep.” She has kept company with the Democrat party for decades and she is her party’s choice for President.

The Democrat Party owns a rich history of racism beginning with slavery. Stephen Douglas at the Democrat debate with Lincoln on August 27, 1858, phrased the Democrat issue of race rather succinctly. “Those of you who believe that the n***er is your equal will vote for Mr. Lincoln.”

“Before the Civil War, the Democratic Party was the Party of slavery…almost all of its leaders were slave owners….” – Bruce Bartlett, “Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party’s Buried Past,” 2008.

“Chief Justice Roger Taney, a Democrat…justified his ruling [on the Dred Scott case] on the grounds that blacks were a subordinate and inferior class of beings who had been subjugated by a superior race.’” “Wrong on Race”

“The Democratic Convention of 1924, held in Madison Square Garden, has been dubbed by historians as the ‘Klanbake.’ Hundreds of the delegates present were members of the Ku Klux Klan, which was so powerful that a plank condemning Klan violence was unwaveringly rejected. To celebrate, some 10,000 hooded Klansmen staged a massive rally complete with burning crosses….” Discoverthenetworks.org

“[B]ull Connor – who infamously unleashed dogs and fire hoses on civil-rights protesters – was a member of both the Democratic National Committee and the Ku Klux Klan.” Discoverthenetworks.org

“[T]he DNC website that describes the Party’s history…[is] scrubbed clean of the not-so-little dirty secret that fueled Democrats’ political successes for over a century and a half and made American life a hell on earth for black Americans.” Jeffery Lord, “The Wall Street Journal,” 8/13/08. (Lord goes on to list many pro-segregation and Democrat-sponsored Jim Crow laws opposed by Republican-sponsored civil rights initiatives -- initiatives rejected by the Democrats for decades.)

Woodrow Wilson: “The white men of the South were aroused by the mere instinct of self-preservation to rid themselves…of the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negros….” On the KKK in his 1902 book “A History of the American People.”

“He [Wilson] believed that blacks held an inferior position in society, and as president of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910, he did not welcome African American students.” Anthony Slide, “American Racist,” University Press of Kentucky, 2004.

FDR: “FDR enforced segregation through red-lining and liked to tell jokes about ‘darkies.’” Daniel Greenfield, “Rename the Racist Democratic Party,” at FrontPage Mag, 12/1/15

“President Roosevelt, when I went up to lunch with him [before nomination to the Supreme Court], told me there was no reason for my worrying about having been a member of the Ku Klux Klan. He said that some of his best friends and supporters in the state of Georgia were strong members of that organization.” Hugo Black, 1968 memo, in “Hugo Black” by Burlington Howard Ball.

Sen. Robert Byrd: “Enamored of the Ku Klux Klan parades that he witnessed in his youth, Byrd joined the KKK in 1942 and was eventually elected Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter….In his 2005 memoir: ‘Robert C. Byrd’ [he] describes the Klan as a fraternal assembly of ‘upstanding people….’” Discoverthenetworks.org

“Senator Byrd was a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility.” Hillary Clinton, “The Daily Caller,” 6/28/10

“He once had a fleeting association with the [KKK], what does that mean?...He was a country boy….He was trying to get elected.” Bill Clinton, Robert Byrd eulogy, quoted in “The Hill,” 7/2/10

LBJ: “Lyndon Johnson said the word ‘n***er’ a lot. In Senate cloakrooms and staff meetings, Johnson was practically a connoisseur of the word… Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he’d simply call it ‘the n***er bill.’” Adam Serwer, MSNBC, 4/12/12

“I’ll have those n***ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” Lyndon Johnson on Air Force One as told in Ronald Kessler’s 1995 book “Inside the White House.”

Bill Clinton: “We come here to celebrate and give thanks for the remarkable life of J. William Fulbright, a life that changed our country and our world forever and for the better….” Bill Clinton on the arch segregationist (D, AR), one of the participants in the 83-day filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, “Los Angeles Times, 2/18/95

“A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy about Barack Obama quoted in “Game Change” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, 2009.

Space does not permit the boundless list of examples. Hillary may deny her heritage of racism. Yet, her party and her husband say otherwise and the FBI has confirmed her as an inherent liar. How can she be believed?

Voters beware!
