The first #SouthernStrategy started long before the 60’s

It was a strategy to wipe out Black Republican power in the South, and it was waged by white-racist Republicans on behalf of white-racist-Democrats. It started in the 1800’s and ended in the 50’s.

After waging a brutal war on Black Conservatism in the South, the Lily White colonization process begins.

Free of the black-race-conscious narrative, It could rest, it could now pass the torch to her racist & demonic sister “Lily White” Evangelicalism.

Race, not abortion, was the founding issue of the religious right

bostonglobe.com/opinion/2018/0… via @BostonGlobe
@BostonGlobe “The rise of the religious right is usually credited to abortion activism, but few evangelicals cared about the subject in the 70’s. The Southern Baptist Convention expressed support for laws liberalizing abortion access in 1971.”

— Chris Ladd
@BostonGlobe “The NEGRO troubles are resulting in the great masses of colored people shutting out WHITE immigration.”

— James P. Newcomb (“Lily White” Republican leader in Texas, 1884)
@BostonGlobe C. Bascom Slemp, a Lily White conservative politician (Virginia) who helped make the Republican Party in the South WHITE, by divorcing it from its NEGRO element.

"He has kicked Negroes out of his own party convention" and "brazenly declared himself opposed to Negro suffrage”.
@BostonGlobe This is all happening in the Republican Party BEFORE the New Deal.
@BostonGlobe The Lily White Movement - North Carolina

In North Carolina a “small number” of white Republicans wanted to take control of the party entirely.

They found their monster in Jeter Connelly Pritchard who became the early leader of The Lily-White Movement in North Carolina.

@BostonGlobe If you’re a Black Conservative from Virginia, you’ve got some strong 💪🏾 Black & conservative roots.

Virginia Black Republicanism wasn’t gonna sit back and let Lily White Republicans destroy them.

They fought back.
@BostonGlobe They fought back and history recorded it.

@BostonGlobe Letter from J.H. Rives (Republican Candidate for Mayor of Charlottesville) to J. Snowden Wood (Republican County Chairman)

Rives is warning Wood to avoid African American participation in Republican Party activities.

University of Virginia, July 13th, 1896
@BostonGlobe Dear Sir,

“To push the colored man forward when the Democratic party is disrupted and so many leaders and many of the rank and file are coming over to us is just what the Democrats of this county wish you to do, that they may call us the 'Nigger Party,'and thus arouse prejudice”
@BostonGlobe Norris Wright Cuney, the black Texas leader who controlled the state party from 1883 until his death in 1896, promptly labeled the [white, Republican, conservative] insurgents "lily-whites”.
@BostonGlobe The "Lily White' Republicans are trying to drive us [black Republicans] from the party councils.

- Scipio Africanus Jones (August 3, 1863 – March 2, 1943)
@BostonGlobe The Lily White Movement vs Black Republicanism & The black-and-tan faction.

Both parties neglect this history because it's about BOTH political parties (Republican, Democrat) attacking Black Republicans.
Better to just skip over a century, to get to the parts that they like.

When they want the pathology (NATURE of the social disease) to be BLACK (unique to BLACK people) they are race conscious, collectivist. But, when evidence suggest

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. ImageImageImage
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might,
Led us into the light, Image

#BlackConservatism isn't "lily-white" conservatism.

"Authentic black conservatism has always had the fundamental and explicit goal of opposing white supremacy."

— Kareim Oliphant

#BlackConservatives

If Burkean conservatism is a response to the French Revolution; African or Black conservatism, emerges out of, and in response to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

"Give us, us free!"

The Conservative Roots of #BlackHistoryMonth

"Arguably one of the cleverest artifices of white supremacy is the thorough scrubbing out of African civilization and human existence before contact with Europeans."

— Dr. Chidike Okeem

(@VOICEOFCHID)

ImageImageImageImage
"When oppression and subjugation are falsely presented as the genesis of black human identity, it provides a pseudo-intellectual justification for the marginalization of black people both on the African continent and in the diaspora."

"Moreover, it provides a justification for self-hatred among black people who are not taught any better."
