A black Republican woman documents some of the first evidence of the monster -- White Supremacy entering the Republican party.

The term "lily-white" originated at the 1888 Republican state convention, when white conservative Republicans attempted to expel black delegates.

Norris Wright Cuney, the black Texas leader who controlled the state Republican party quickly labeled the insurgents "lily-whites”.

She has an entire chapter devoted to "The Lily White Republican" insurgents.

Maude Cuney writes about a new breed of Republican: The Lily White Republicans

"However, in 1888, the struggle was begun
by the organization of "white Republican clubs,"
for the purpose of controlling the county con
ventions that they might elect their delegates...

for the State conventions."

"Father sarcastically
referred to the instigators of a "white Repub
lican party" as the "Lily Republicans" and the
"Lily Whites.""

In the Chicago Inter Ocean,
Mr. Albion Tour-
gee wrote: "The Colored Republican party of Texas has manifested an aptitude for political warfare which goes far to disprove the allegation of inferiority, by dubbing the so-called
white Republicans who recently met, 'Lily
White.'

NOTE: Historian Mark Elliott credits Tourgée with introducing the metaphor of "color-blind justice" into legal discourse.

"The name is a good one and all the more stirringly appropriate, for as everybody knows, that faction thus arrogating to itself purity, capacity and patriotism, is organized for
plunder, under the leadership of one whose debasement of Republican principles has become National. "

"The pure-minded patriot of 'Flanigan's Mills' is a fit standard bearer for
the 'Lily Republicans' who wish to cut the party
loose from the Negro in order that they may
control whatever plums of Federal patronage
and representative power

... may fall to the party
organization of the Lone Star State."

"At the Galveston County Convention of April
3d, which was held in pursuance of a call of
the Chairman of the County Republican Executive Committee, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the State Republican Convention which was to meet at Fort Worth in September,
father,

... who had been selected as a delegate, was called upon to address the meeting. He spoke
with no bridled tongue of the political outrages in Arkansas and Fort Bend County, Texas, and stated that he recognized the fight was to overthrow the Negro Republicans in the State, and ..

... characterized the promoters of the
warfare as THIEVES and pickpockets. He asked no quarter in the coming struggle and would
give none.

The White Republicans, angered, attempted
to influence the colored delegates to split on the
color question.

"It was their object to create a factional fight among the colored men, so that THEY would be free from blame. Their main
fight was centered on the chairmanship of the
convention, placing Louis Johnson against Ed.
Davis, who was proposed by the Cuneyites for
the position."

"The Cuney element won, and the delegation was equally divided among the white and colored."

Music Minute: Maude Cuney Hare

The following information is intended for colorblind white folk who think "The Blacks" should just "get over it". It is also for black children who experience the cruelty of racism: Your suspicions are true, and your righteous rage is understandable.

This is a almost sureal account, but perhaps the most interesting thing about it is she's writing this in a paradigm of black excellence; wherein Blacks are running the southern Republican party

And the Whites (racist lily-whites) are just forming.

They are the "insurgents".

The black founders of the Texas Republican party viewed the "insurgents" as THIEVES! They were using racism to COLONIZE & PLUNDER.

I wonder where they learned that....

The Lily-White THIEVES who used racism to destroy and plunder, would later set fire to Black Republicanism in the South; and those Lily-White THIEVES who stole black property would become the new powerbase; the paradigm we see today.

"There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."

― George Orwell

George Orwell, 1984:

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."

We were the Brong, we were the Yoruba, we are the Igbo, we were the Akan people.

We were the Black Republicans!

Like The Black Pharaoh of Cush/Sudan/Egypt wno has "marched out to fight against you" -- Sennacherib - King of Assyria.

Black Conservatism is COMING for you White Nationalism.

Coming for you...

#WhiteSupremacy is an evil monster with distinguishing characteristics.

Our ancestors still speaking to us, warning us.

"THE STRUGGLE was BEGUN by the organization of "white Republican clubs,"
for the purpose of CONTROLLING the county conventions ..."

They were the theives, and they were the ones causing racial strife. They rewrote history to compliment their delusions; they rewrote history to make it seem as if Blacks left the Republican party for foodstamps. We were EVICTED because we were succeeding.

What a nasty bunch!

We don't care what The Black Leftist or The Lily White Conservatives, and their lil' negro league --The Black Conservative Apostates have to say.

GOD IS GOOD.

WE will tell OUR Black Conservative story, and we will tell it well -- without interruption.
