Interesting discussion on Cruikshank and 14th Amendment

Over at the Volokh Conspiracy. It features guest blogging by Charles Lane, author of The Day Freedom Died: The Colfax Massacre, The Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction. The Colfax Massacre is what gave rise to Cruikshank.

Interesting it was Black Republicans murdered by White Democrats. Notice its the Party of Jim Crow (Democrat Party) that still wants to disarm citizens even today. They can't even manage their own candidate selection process and they want to run our lives?
A well armed society is a polite society.

The modern feeling that the GOP is anti-black comes from the defection of the racist Dixiecrats from the Democratic Party (led by Strom Thurman who talked discrimination and "slept" integration), and their being welcomed with open arms by the Repubs. If the GOP had told the Dixiecrats to go pound sand, they wouldn't be in the racial mess they are in today.

Significantly, the GOP may soon be faced with an opportunity to welcome Blacks back to the Party. All it may take is for the Clintons to steal the nomination from Obama.
