“If we remain poor and dependent, the riches of other men will not avail us. If we are ignorant, the intelligence of other men will do but little for us. If we are foolish, the wisdom of other men will not guide us. If we are wasteful of time and money, the economy of other men will only make our destitution the more disgraceful and hurtful.”

"democrats" murdered 300 African Americans? Who did what now? I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out how members of a group have done terrible things, not in accord with that group's principles - but I think posting statements like this is destructive, and begs further detail. Slander and Geneneralization are two of the chief reasons we're in this God Awful bi-partisan mess to begin with. If you want to tell a story about some people who killed some African Americans, and make some meaningful observations about how that action is somehow related to the democratic party, actually take the time to do it. This kind of sound-bite doesn't help anyone.
