Race is still a sensitive issue in the United States of America. Hell, I even received a comment on my previous column from the Ku Klux Klan LLC, bemoaning the fact that political correctness is squelching what they can and can’t say about “radical Republicans” and “Negros”.

What a wonderful country we are that an organization like the Ku Klux Klan qualifies for Limited Liability Company status.

I sincerely doubt Senator Obama will tell the whole truth about race in America. He, like many others, believe that his party; the Democrat Party, is (and always was) the “Party of Civil Rights”. While we are living in times nowhere near as evil as were the days when certain Americans were kept in bondage for the purposes of forced labor, the crime that remains today is the intentional revision of black history to dilute those sins.

Whenever you say that it was Democrats that did everything possible to keep slavery the law of the land, many people are insulted and recoil in disbelief. This isn’t what they were taught in school. Many teachers and professors teach young people that it was the Republican Party who are, and always were, the racists that kept black people down.

Will Barack Obama clarify this? Does he even know the truth?

For example, many credit President Lyndon B. Johnson with the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He did so, even though a greater percentage of Republicans supported it than Democrats. But with that, the Democrat Party has been credited with ending state-sponsored racism in the US.

But what was LBJ thinkin’?

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again.”

– Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1957

Yes, as is the usual retort, President Johnson must have “grown”. But will Barack Obama clarify this? Does he even know the truth?  Continued...
