I found out about your blog via a link to my blog from, “The Blog….And the Bullet”.

Excellent post.

Although there are two things I must quibble with you about.

1. The 15TH Amendment.

You said the 15TH Amendment gave
freed slaves” the right to vote. In fact, this amendment gave free black ex-slave males the right to vote. (Women, black, white, or other, did not receive the right to vote until 1919, with the enactment of the 20TH Amendment.)

2. Your comment as follows;

“And I hope he’s right on the part about people being offended.) ”

In order for a people to be offended, they would have to know their history.

All of your post was well written, and before you came to certain sections in your post, I was already saying the answers, or better yet, saying out loud, all the history of BOTH the Dems and Repubs, (slavery, segregation, the Dred Scott Case [hadn't heard/read the phrase, "rights no white man is bound to respect", in a long time].): the filthy trash parties that have sold blacks down the river so many numbers of times, that I have long since lost count. But, I digress.

In order for a people to be offended, they must know their history. And with the sheer lack of knowledge of their history that I have found MANY young blacks showing, well, it is enough for me to want to do more than lose my religion. And it wouldn’t be any better if there are blacks my age who do not know their history.

Such is the reason there is so much nihilism among the young blacks of today; and quite a few older ones as well.

When you know your history, NO ONE can ef with you. And in knowing your history, you will be stronger than your enemy.

Which is why I have taken it upon myself to teach a young black lady of her glorious history in this country.

The things she does not know about her black ancestors makes me want to cry.

But, crying will not stop ignorance.

Only passion with patience and kindness, will strengthen this young lady in learning that she came from a race that has survived odds that would have destroyed lesser people.

And that is my testament to all my black ancestors who came before me.

I owe them a debt that I can never repay.

And the best way to try and repay that debt is to instill into this young lady all she should know of her history.

Buying her books on black history. Telling her of the accomplishments of black Americans.

Imparting to her that she comes from a proud race of people who were more patriotic, more Crhistian, more law-abiding, more humane than those whose race sought to destroy hers.

Better to light a candle, than curse the darkness.

And that is what I hope to do with this young lady.

“If the former is true, then it’s Steele and the Black Republicans who are in trouble. If both are true, and what Steele and the Black Republican thik about the rest of us is true?

Well. We’re all in trouble.”

Yes, Lord.

We are ALL in trouble.

Steele’s running like a man who’s ashamed of his actual record.

Now, if the signs said “Steele DemocratS” or “Another Steele Democrat” it would not be fraudulent. Some Democrats support and will vote for Steele. But the typefaces of the signs suggests not “[a] Steele Democrat” but “Steele: Democrat.” The “Steele” on the sign is in “Metallic New Wingnut” whereas the centered “Democrat” below is in a smaller serif type, suggesting that the latter is a subheader for the former.

Test: Replace “Democrat” with “Anti-Semite” or “Communist.” Does the new sign slander Steele? If so, then the former sign is a fraud. If not, it means that the sign owner is a Communist or Anti-Semite who supports Steele, i.e. bulls%%%.
