Louisiana state Sen. #ElbertGuillory explained the failures of #DemocraticParty and #progressive_policies....
The #Republicans has done far more to advance the civil rights and establish fairer, more equal treatment of black Americans than Democrats.
Two #Democratic presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, rejected anti-lynching laws.
#GeorgeCWallace, the #Democratic governor of Alabama, blocked a door at the University of Alabama to prevent #black_students from enrolling.
#Democratic politicians ushered in Jim Crow laws, creating segregation throughout the South.
#DwightEisenhower's appointment of Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court paved the way for the Brown v. Board of Education
#DwightEisenhower, a Republican president, sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools.
#Republicans passed the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950s and 1960s by a far greater percentage than Democrats.
#Democrats implemented many barriers:
poll taxes
registration fraud
literacy tests
physical violence to keep black voters from the polls
The #GOP ratified the 13th, 14th, & 15th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting citizenship & the right to vote to #black_Americans.
$15 trillion on #progressive_policies aimed at benefiting #black_Americans in the past 50 years, and it's hard to find any positive results.
And, because of poorer job opportunities with these #progressive_policies #blacks are less likely to #accumulate_wealth.
#Democrats' hate #SocialSecurity_privatization particularly harms #blacks since #AfricanAmericans generally have shorter life expectancies.
#Gun_control_laws #fail_to_reduce_gun_violence and prevent many of #black_Americans who are #killed_by_guns from #defending_themselves.
