The Republicans who founded HBCUs were doing so against the OPPOSITION of Democrats who did not want a recently enslaved people to become educated. HBCUs were safer and more nurturing enclaves of higher education at the time of their founding...so relatively soon after the Civil War, and in places (not just in the South) where racist Democrat opposition constituted a real risk for their students. If Republicans were so loath to have Blacks in THEIR schools then, why did they elect them into THEIR Congress? aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/hiram-revels-first-black-congressman-united-states Gary C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-2104840614753340992014-09-08T15:32:02.129-04:002014-09-08T15:32:02.129-04:00As a people (the black race) we must continue to s...As a people (the black race) we must continue to strive to become better educated, and know the true meaning behind history. I agree, the parties (Republican and Democrat) were much different than they are today. I also agree, we must think in terms of people and not parties. Yes, the republicans, then and now, make strides to cater to the needs of both the poverty stricken and the black race, but we must ask ourselves, "what's the motive behind it". Of course they founded these institutions because they didn't want blacks to go to school with them. That's a no brainer. Don't get too excited, and pledge allegiance to republicans or democrats. Instead, get on the side of the righteous, and say that it was Jesus that brought us "this far on the way", no matter who he did it through.

Where are the black universities named after Demokkkrats during the period of 1865 to 1921.

The republican and democratic parties of the 1800s and 1900s were COMPLETELY different from what they both are today.</i><br /><br />You're right, of course. Republicans are far more liberal now than they were then (more government control) and Democrats have now shifted even further into outright reactionary totalitarianism than they already were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-57703051385239180582011-06-23T01:34:57.572-04:002011-06-23T01:34:57.572-04:00Well saidWell saidBrian Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003941316421096794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-51098277128950963972011-05-03T10:34:52.960-04:002011-05-03T10:34:52.960-04:00We can't choose which part of history we wish ...We can't choose which part of history we wish to live by, yet some say the Republicans are different today. This is not true. Republicans come in all races and from all cultures.<br />Pres. Bush elected more minorities to high government offices than any Democrat has.<br /><br />Let's go back to my first sentence if, and that is if, one can live by the credo, "Republicans are different now.", so also that person, to be consistent, must also say, "We don't have Slavery now, so Whites are Okay." Of course this thought never crosses the Victim-minded person mindset.<br /><br />Never mind that less than 1% of America's population ever had slaves. Never mind the many Causcasion immigrants who've arrived in the past 200 years. The Victim-minded person is mentally stuck thinking, "all whites this and all whites that"<br /><br />This victim mentality is disresptful of the many Blacks, Whites, Latinos, Asians who're are Republicans that took responsibility for their goals in life. These successful Americans never allowed others to drag them down.R Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370212526054637599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-58119675109451254322009-04-10T10:48:00.000-04:002009-04-10T10:48:00.000-04:00What a dumb statement..
