OF BLACK REPUBLICANS
Why are most blacks in America Democrats?
You will have to answer that question yourself. After reading this book, you will understand that:
for over 150 years, blacks were victims of terrorist attacks by the Democrats and their Klan supporters, including lynching, beating, rapes and mutilations
On the issue of slavery, the Democrats literally gave their lives to expand it; the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.
Many believed the Democrats had a change of heart and fell in love with blacks. To the contrary, history reveals the democrats didn't fall in love with black folks, they fell in love with the black vote knowing this would be their ticket into the white house. continued

Star Parker's recent book "Uncle Sam's Plantation..." is informative, inspiring, and written with the experience of someone who has been there. As a former bleeding heart liberal who was involved in a number of social services organizations, it became obvious to me that many well intentioned programs become a self perpetuating industry allowing 'dogooders' to play Lady Bountiful to people they obviously consider too incompetent to run their own lives.
The rewards go to those who exhibit self destructive behavior. The more self destructive the behavior the more programs exist as if throwing enough money and time will cure three generations of government dependence. Ms Parker spells it out clearly and effectively. I recommend this book to anyone who feels that our welfare programs are going to create independent, self supporting citizens. Your eyes will be opened.
"The Democrats are losing support because of their intellectual bankruptcy, which betrays itself in their resort to low-road attacks. Republicans, writes Cain, need to hang tough in enacting their economic-freedom agenda, because prosperous voters will be loyal voters."
"One of the highlights of this inspiring book is an appendix containing Cain's 2003 sermon at Dr. Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral; that man's political message is of a piece with his sense of life's basic purpose."
