Democrats sued for slavery reparations

by "BigFoot" <dems@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 9, 2006 at 08:01 PM

It's amazing that the African American community still supports the DNC.

In the class-action Reparation lawsuit against the Democratic Party, will 
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rule against the Democrats and order
them 
to apologize to African Americans in 2006? In their brief to the Court of 
Appeals (Case No. 05-35890), Democrats are not denying the fact that their

party was behind many of the racist acts that have affected Blacks during 
the past 200 years. The Democrat's own Political Platforms as well as 
Congressional Records show that as a party:


Democrats supported Slavery and its expansion into the northern states
Democrats introduced the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act
to 
expand slavery into the northern states.
Democrats support of the Dred Scott Decision
Democrats supported Fugitive Slave Laws
Democrats collectively opposed the 13th Amendment to end slavery
Democrats collectively opposed the 14th Amendment to give blacks
citizenship
Democrats collectively opposed the 15th Amendment to give blacks the right

to vote
Democrats exhausted every efforts to destroy Reconstruction including 
opposing the 1867 Reconstruction Act and coming up with the Compromise of 
1877
Democrats opposed the Freedman Bureau
Democrats opposed Senate Bill 60 of 1866 to give blacks 40 acres and mule 
(It was Democratic President Andrew Johnson that vetoed the Bill.
Democrats supported of the Slaughter House Case
Democrats opposed the 1866 Civil Rights Acts
Democrats opposed the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 and continue to oppose 
anti-lynching laws up through 1965
Democrats passed a multitude of Jim Crow Legislation
Democrats passed of Black Codes
Democrats establishment of the Ku Klux Klan and other terrorist
auxiliaries 
for their Party to keep blacks in their place
Democrats promoted White Supremacy
Democrats opposed blacks schools and colleges
Democrats supported of Plessy v Ferguson legalizing Segregation
Democrats were against the decision in the case of Brown v Board of 
Education
Democrats supported, participated and endorsed over 5,000 lynching in
states 
under their control
Democrats opposed to the NAACP and other organization designed to help 
blacks
Democrats were in opposition to blacks holding political office and drove 
many from office during Reconstruction with terror and violence
Southern Democrats debated against the passage of the 1964 Civil Right Act
Southern Democrats debated against the passage of 1965 Voting Rights Act
Southern Democrats fought against Affirmative Action
Southern Democrats fought against the integration of Southern schools
Democrats supported and participated in burning down middle class black 
communities like those in Rosewood, Florida, Wilmington, North Carolina
and 
the Greenwood District (Black Wallstreet) in Tulsa Oklahoma.
Southern Democrats fraudulently took over two million acres of black 
property according to an investigation by Associated Press.
Democrats in an effort to keep blacks in their place used sadistic
torture, 
terror and violence including: lynching, mutilations, murder,
decapitations 
and beating and burning to death countless number of blacks.

In their brief to the court, Democrat's are not arguing that they did not 
commit these horrific inhumane acts, their only defense is that according
to 
Lujan v The Defenders of Wildlife case, the Plaintiff, Rev. Wayne
Perryman, 
an inner-city minister from Seattle, do not have the legal authority (or 
"standing") to bring this matter to the court. This is the same arguments 
used to dismiss the reparation cases sponsored by Johnnie Cochran and 
Professor Charles Ogletree.

In their brief to the court, attorney David Burman (representing the 
Democratic Party) told the court: "Conceding to the horrors of slavery and

racism and even accepting for purposes of this motion that the Democratic 
Party in the past supported or acquiesced in those horrors, nowhere does
the 
Complaint makes the required showing of any 'concrete and personalized 
injury' necessary to confer standing. The Plaintiff's injuries are the
same 
injuries that were inflicted on all African Americans over a 200 year
period 
and affect the entire African American Community."

The Democrats are spending thousands of dollars in legal fees to fight
this 
case. Rev. Perryman responded with the attached 10 page Reply Brief to 
challenge their position on standing. Rev. Perryman is not seeking
monetary 
damages only a public apology. He is the only black leader not afraid to
go 
after the powerful Democratic Party while challenging the Republican
Party.
