Quote Of The Day

"Democrats have a 150-year history of using race as a political weapon to keep blacks in virtual slavery and Republicans out of power. The recent firestorm ignited by Senator Hillary Clinton's racially-tinged attempt to derail Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign shows the perils of Democrats using their race-based weapon against a black Democrat. In the black community, people are outraged about how Democrat demagogues, including Billionaire Bob Johnson of BET, are treating Obama as an 'uppity Negro' who dares to defy their white Democratic Party masters. Prior to the Clinton-Obama hullabaloo over Senator Clinton's disparaging remark about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Clinton campaign was being given a pass for using racial slurs against Senator Obama. When Democrats called Senator Obama a 'Magic Negro,' there was hardly a ripple of protest. Just as little concern is expressed when Democrats slander black Republicans, such as former Lt. Governor Michael Steele who Democrats depicted as a 'Simple Sambo' and Dr. Condoleezza Rice who was portrayed as an ignorant 'Mammy', reminiscent of the racial stereotypes used by Democrats during the days of 'Jim Crow.' Any Republican using such slanderous tactics against blacks would be castigated as a racist and destroyed politically. If the controversy generated by Senator Clinton's remark that diminished the civil rights role of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. signals the beginning of an end to the type of racial divisiveness inflicted on our nation for over a century and a half by Democrats, then the angst created by Senator Clinton will be well worth it." — Frances Rice, chair of the National Black Republican Association and conservative blogger
