Congressional records reveal that there wouldn’t be a question of
Reparations today had Democratic President Andrew Johnson signed Senate
Bill 60 (in 1866) which would have given each African American family 40
acres and a mule. Instead, Johnson vetoed the Bill and continued to
block other key pieces of legislation that were designed to bring about
"equality" for African Americans.
Perryman further argues that:
During the past 200 years, our government operated under a two party
system which directed, developed and determined the policies of our
country. Whatever the government did or did not accomplish (particularly
as it pertained to African Americans), was directly related to which
political party was in power at the time.
On April 29, 1861, Democratic President Jefferson Davis told his
Democratic Confederate Congress that: "Under the supervision of the
superior race, their [blacks’] labor had been so directed not only to
allow a gradual and marked amelioration of their own condition, but to
convert hundreds of thousands of square miles of wilderness into
cultivated lands covered with a prosperous people; towns and cities had
sprung into existence, and had rapidly increased in wealth and
population under the social system of the South... [which made the South
one of the 16th wealthiest places in the world]; and the productions in
the South of cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco, for the full development
and continuance of which the labor of African slaves was and is
indispensable, had swollen to an amount which formed nearly three-fourth
of the exports of the whole United States and had become absolutely
necessary to wants of civilized man…."
Seven years later during the 1868 Presidential campaign, the Democratic
Party’s campaign poster read: "This is a White Man's Country - Let the
White Men Rule."
At the turn of the century (1913), Democratic Senator Ben Tillman said,
"We reorganized the Democratic Party with one plank, and the only plank,
namely, that this is a white man's country, and white men must govern
it." From 1792 to 2002 (a period of 210 years), the Democratic Party
carried out their proud tradition of white man rule by never electing a
black man to the United States Senate from their party.
From 1792 to 1962, the Democratic Party was more commonly referred to
as the Party of White Supremacy. This was the period when most of the
damage was done to African Americans (economically, physically, socially
and mentally). It was during this period that the Democrats exhausted
every effort that promoted slavery, destroyed Reconstruction and
introduced Black Codes, Jim Crow laws and the Ku Klux Klan.
The chronicles of history reveals that the Institution of Slavery and
Jim Crow Laws weren’t promoted, protected and preserved by prominent
individuals or by the federal government. They were preserved by one
political party and that party was the Democratic Party. Without their
powerful political support, segregation would have ended long before
1865 and 1965. Plessy would have never taken Judge Furgeson to court,
and the "Brown v. Board of Education" case would have never materialized.
The big question they had during the era of slavery was, whether or not
a law or a person's actions violated the Constitution. The goal of the
Democrats was to never allow the Constitution to be amended to include
blacks as citizens. They wanted the freedom to treat African Americans
as property (not as humans), without federal interference (this was
their primary reason for fighting for their so-called States Rights).
This was also the reason why Democrats were opposed to adding the 13th,
14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution and why they praised and
supported the Dred Scott Decision. Republicans rushed to have these
Amendments added to the Constitution while the states that were under
Democrat control were still separated from the Union. Republicans knew
they would have a difficult time getting these Amendments passed if the
Democrats from the Southern States came back and joined their
congressional (Democrat) counterparts in the North.
During era of slavery and Reconstruction, the Democrats were primarily
interested in what they could do to blacks, not what they could do for
blacks. From 1792 to 1962, the Democrats' support did not support or
pass one law that was designed to give African Americans equality (in
170 years). With the exception of Truman’s efforts to integrate the
military, every law that was introduced and passed by Democrats during
this period was designed to hurt blacks, none were passed to help
blacks. Perryman said, "Had the Democrats attempted to pass these same
types of laws in 1864 that they claim credit for in 1964, the laws in
1964 would not have been necessary. Instead, in 1866 they passed Black
Codes, in 1875 they passed Jim Crow Laws and in 1894 they passed the
Repeal Act to repeal various pieces of previously passed Civil Rights
legislation that were designed to give African Americans equality.

You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the
economic injury incurred from that event.
It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.
Peace and justice,"
