Ohio Ad: Blacks Should Vote GOP Because Lincoln Ended Slavery

   

*A super PAC ad running Ohio hopes it can woo African American voters with a new ad suggesting their loyalty to the Democratic Party is misguided, and that they should vote Republican because Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, too. [Watch below.]

According to Salon, the Empower Citizens Network has an ad in the Columbus area that argues: “It is a big lie that Democrats are for black Americans, and Republicans are against black Americans. Abraham Lincoln, who freed the slaves, was a Republican. Republicans founded the NAACP. Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act, while Democrats opposed it.”

Evan McMorris-Santoro of Talking Points Memo writes that the group, which describes itself as an “alternative conservative” super PAC, has run a number of other ads throughout the state, including one that “accuses Obama and Democrats of imploding the economy by forcing mortgage companies to lend to ‘unqualified borrowers’ while the Soviet national anthem plays.”

According to the Toledo Blade, a newspaper ad put out by the group says that the “Obamas throw lavish parties at the White House for ‘socialist friends’ that include flying in $100-per-pound Kobe beef from Japan.”

    This shit is just so racist. A) let’s market current falsehoods that ignore the paradigm shift of the Democratic party from the Southern Democrats to the modern Democratic party and all the defections of traditionally Southern Democrat folk to the Republican party since the passing of the Civil Rights Act to support their greedy tendencies now that racism and discrimination is no longer legal. B) Blacks are stupid and easily given to believing whatever propaganda we put up, and even if it’s not most of them, enough Blacks are stupid enough to believe whatever propaganda we put up, and being a close race, this is a Win-Win for us!

  2. They actually made it a lot worse for themselves. Anybody black who has REALLY studied their history knows that Abraham Lincoln was a DEVOUT racist and didn’t free the slaves because he felt compassion for them. My oldest daughter did a book report explaining that Lincoln was a racist and you know they made her go to the office. I figure, they know their not going to take Ohio so they might as well result to some BS like this…I mean what do they have to lose???

    Then the GOP wonders WHY people of color don’t trust or join their PARTY in large precentage and they have less than one percent with regard to african americans as RE-PUB- lee- CONS!! nationwide.

    Lincoln didn’t free the slaves because he had compassion for slaves no matter what PEOPLE want you to believe or lie to you with regard to Lincoln freeing the slaves. Lincoln’s wife as a confederate wife for the south and her family OWNED slaves and brought them to the White House as the first lady’s slaves and Lincoln beneffited, he could have STOPPED it right then and there in the White House, but he didn’t..he HAD SLAVES to wait on him and his family hand and foot. So I’m interested in the new film to be release called “LINCOLN” and how he looked at slaves and the outcome as hsitorically factual or fiction.

    Lincoln’s decision to free the slaves had to do with saving the union and the north, if not, we as a nation most likely would have been a split nation-similar to north korea and south Korea,

    So Lincoln represented the POOR white male who didn’t have a CHANGE – if as a white male- wasn’t rich as a SLAVE owners of said era..

    ..and lincoln was the first president in the line of presidents before him who wasn’t a inherent SLAVE owner by family inheritance or rich as result of being slave owner…so Lincoln free the slaves to HELP poor white males, of whom he represented and identified with..the move united the south and the north eventually ans lend bettr opportunity to poor whte males and eventually slaves into free people…for economic reasons for the nation, nothing more..without a certain DOUBT Lincoln’s compassion to free the slaves was NOT the JUST idealogy of by Lincoln from the beginning.

    This ad is another signal how White/tea party republicans VIEW blacks asa we a called by them, because for one reason-republi-CONS will never call US african americans, but black americans, who are considered DUMB and never equal or priviledged as any other AMERICANS, who are inherently white and privileged .

    You get it now people?

    You will always be DUMB and unequal to these people eyes, ans it doesn’t matter how many letters you have EARNED RIGHTFULLY thru HARD WORK behind your name ….and the bad part about this theory on the TP GOP belief is that– SOME of our OWN PEOPLE believe this as well and these hateful PEOPLE know this…and this is why we have such ads and billboards stating LIES, lies, lies, and then we yet have our OWN trying to PROVE that we are as equal to these people, when we don’t have to PROVE NOTHING no more than anyone else- this crap about we have to do twice as hard and do twice as much than anyone else, for WHAT? To prove we are not slaves and equal? PLEESE, if you do this you are playing right to the hands of racist people!

    Without african americans the oldest minority and FIRST in the land besides native americans of this land, we date back to the 1600′s & BUILT this nation upon FREE labor and others made off like bandits and made tons of loot as result of free labor and purchased LAND and property and that’s how they became rich and educated, STOPPING slaves by LAW from getting their education and building family purcashing property and having a future, those same slaves built the WHITE HOUSE, now we have a BLACKMAN as the resident of the WHITE HOUSE and leader of the free western world as the president of these united states,

    ..so these PEOPLE -re-pub-li-CONS-tea partiers can use every race based TRICK in the book if they want too.. its NOT going to WORK! Which will further STATE how un-intouch they are and how BACKWARDS these people ARE who still look and live in the rearview mirror of this nation’s race based history.

    Why are these PPL talking about a man who is 100 years old in the GRAVE-Ronald Reagan? His policies DON”T FIT the TIMES we are living, AMERICA has become a BROWN, beige and gray NATION NOW, not just a BLACK and WHITE nation of the past.

    These PEOPLE need to get a clue , really they need too, otherwise, their party (GOP) is going to get smaller and smaller with BITTER and race based hateful people with the few negroes they use on their side to make them feel better, and say “see we aren’t racist”, really we’re not, we have former Maryland’s Lt Gov Michael Steele, and Florida’s Congressman Sgt. West, these are our VERY OWN happy negroes who are different.

    (laughing)

      Nothing in this ridiculous screed refutes the fact that Lincoln freed the slaves and was a republican. Essentially, that’s the point of the article.

      “Why” he did it is rather irrelevant to the topic.

      • Taurusingr says:

        He did?, but it wasn’t for “social change” or a sense of “righteousness”! He “neeeeeeded” Blacks!!! So actually?, nothing’s changed. YT’s are still using Us!
