It is really pretty straight-forward. Any honest commentator would have to recognize that the Democratic Party is responsible for the following attrocities.

1. Preserving and enhancing the legal-standing of the institution of slavery in the ante-bellum South against all humanitarian calls for reform;

2. Extending the peculiar institution of slavery into Texas and Missouri;

3. Attempting to extend the institution of slavery into California, Kansas and other US territories and states;

4. Extending into free-states the slave-masters' legal right to retrieve their "property", escaped slaves. (Dred Scott);

5. Initiating the secession of the Southern states to preserve slavery upon the election of Abraham Lincoln, a Republican with abolitionist views;

6. Undermining the North's resolve to preserve the Union and emancipate the slaves (Democrat Copperheads);

7. Terrorizing freed black Republican politicians and voters during Reconstruction in order to ensure election of white Democrats;

8. Disenfranchising black voters to make the entire South a one-party state (Democrat), a political monopoly not broken until quite recently;

9. Via their control of Southern state governments, instituting Jim Crow laws in the 1880s and preserving them until 1965 (America's apartheid);

10. Governing the South in a manner that tolerated, concealed and surreptitiously-supported racial terrorists such as the Ku Klux Klan, who murdered southern civil rights activists;

11. Resisting Federal enforcement to end racial segregation as initiated by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.

If reparations are due for slavery and the subsequent failure of the promises of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to be fully realized by the freed slaves and their descendants, they are clearly the responsibility of the institution that committed itself to maintaining the subjugation of African-Americans for an additional century after they were emancipated through the efforts of the Republican Party.

Send all demands for reparations to:
