On September 12, 2008 Senator McCain had his fifth interview on the ABC the View. Now Senator McCain is smart enough to know what he is walking into; but when Whoppi posed the question do I have to worry about becoming a slave again, well a few facts. The Republicans have done more for blacks over time then the Democrats will ever do.

I wish you would set the record straight dealing with the comment Whoppi made on the view with Senator McCain about slavery. I recall my History as the Republicans being on the side of freeing the slaves.

1. Abraham Lincoln (R) Emancipation Proclamation September 22, 1862.

2. Group of “vigilantes” that enforced the freeing of slaves throughout the 1870-1890s were not called the “radical republicans” for nothing

3. Thirteenth Amendment on December 18, 1865

4. The Civil Rights Act of 1957, primarily a voting rights bill, was the first civil rights legislation enacted by Congress in the United States since Reconstruction. After it was proposed to Congress by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, Southern Democratic senator James Strom Thurmond sustained the longest filibuster in history in an attempt to keep it from becoming law.

I can continue i.e. Larry Bird (D) member of the KKK but I think you get the point.

Now can any Democrat really say what they have done to improve the Black community as a whole? Social programs have done nothing to help the black family
