- In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law, making the mere accusation of being a runaway slave reason to deny habeas corpus and legal representation (about 11% of all blacks were actually free). This law also paid judges $10 for a conviction, or for the “return” of a slave, $5 if the person was set free.
- In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by Democrats, allowing slaves to be imported into the territories.
- Disgusted with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Free-Soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party in 1854.
- After denouncing slavery, elderly Republican Senator Charles Sumner was beaten nearly to death while he was reading in his office by Democrat Representative Preston Brooks in 1856.
- In 1858, while debating Republican Abraham Lincoln on slavery, Democrat Senator Stephen A. Douglas said, "For one, I am opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form. I believe this government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, men of European birth and descent, instead of conferring it upon negroes, Indians and other inferior races."
- In 1863, Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
- In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was passed, forever banning slavery in the US. It received the votes of 100% of Republicans (88 out of 88 in the House, 30 out of 30 in the Senate), while only getting 23% of the Democrat votes (16 out of 66 in the House, 3 out of 8 in the Senate).
- In 1867, the Texas Republican Party was formed...by 150 blacks and 20 whites.
- In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed, granting the newly freed slaves equal rights. It was supported by every single voting Republican (128 of 134, 6 not voting, in the House, and 30 of 32, 2 not voting, in the Senate), but none of the 36 House Democrats nor any of the 6 Senate Democrats voted for it.
- In 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed, guaranteeing black the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, every single Democrat voted against it.
- In the 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted forming the Ku Klux Klan as a means to fight against the spread of the Republican Party.
- Between 1870 and 1875, Republicans passed many pro-black civil rights laws, but when Democrats took strong control of the House in 1892, they repealed all the civil rights laws, allowing southern states to implement the Jim Crow laws.
- In 1913, Democrat President Woodrow Wilson reintroduced segregation throughout the federal government. He named avowed racists like Josephus Daniels and Albert Burleson to his cabinet.
- FDR's first Supreme Court nominee was a life member of the KKK (Senator Hugo Black, Democrat from Alabama).
- In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, gaining the vote of only 64% of Democrats (153 for, 91 against in the House, 46 for, 21 against in the Senate), while gaining support of 80% of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House, 27 for, 6 against in the Senate).
- In 1993, Democrat President William Jefferson Clinton presented a signatory of "Southern Manifesto", Democrat Senator William Fullbright, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
- The only currently elected federal official to be a Klansman is a Democrat (Robert Byrd, D-WV).
- To this very day, Democrats continue to contend that blacks are inherently inferior. So inferior that they think that blacks require a 20 point bonus (out of 120 possible points) on their college admissions scores simply because they are black. Others feel that blacks are so stupid that they are unable to speak proper English, and must be taught in "Ebonics" in school.
-They continue to support an organization -- Planned Parenthood -- that was founded by a person who believed "colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated" (Margaret Sanger- a devout eugenicist). Since 1974, abortion has killed more blacks than AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease…combined.
