The Left Would Hate Jackie Robinson Today…

By Dr. Kevin "Coach" Collins

Democrats don’t ever tell the truth about their shared history with African Americans. They will never admit that the Confederacy was formed by Democrats intent on keeping their ancestors locked on plantations as slaves. They will never admit that the Klu Klux Klan was formed and populated by Democrats who had been members of the Confederate Army.  They have lied about which Party was home to some of the worst bigots in American history.

Black conservative writer K. Carl Smith summed these lies up with: “When I grew up in Alabama, I thought George Wallace was a Republican. I thought Bull Connor was a Republican. I believed the people that bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., were part of the Republican Party…..  all of the things I believed to be true I found it was a lie.”

Last Friday, the new movie “42” referring to Jackie Robinson’s uniform number was released. It is apparently a stirring tale of how a black American named Jack Roosevelt Robinson, who had the skill and courage necessary to pull it off, broke the color barrier and played baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

What is certain is that the Hollywood version of the Jackie Robinson story will not tell us about his life as a Republican activist after baseball. It will not touch on the strongly-held  Republican beliefs of Branch Rickey, the man who signed Robinson to play baseball for the  Dodgers, ironically played by leading Hollywood liberal Harrison Ford.  Nor will it mention that it was not until in 1959,  twelve years after Robinson was first at bat, that Boston (a bastion of phony liberalism) became the very last city to put a black man (Pumpsie Green) on its baseball field.

Jackie Robinson’s post-baseball years are just another story about black people the Democrats and their lap dog media ignore because it doesn’t fit the tapestry of lies they need their plantation hands to hear and believe.

The Democrats want the “truth” to be: “Yes Robinson had these wired un-politically correct conservative thoughts, but in 1960 when he saw Richard Nixon refuse to campaign in Harlem he was cleansed of them.” Nevertheless, Robinson’s autobiography strongly suggests otherwise. He was impressed with the enormous sums of money that white Republican Nelson Rockefeller’s family had given to support black colleges (Spellman College, which is today a leading anti-Republican nest, was founded by John D. Rockefeller and named for his mother.) Robinson liked a certain brand of Republicanism. He was a Rockefeller Republican, but a Republican nonetheless.

In order to campaign for Nelson Rockefeller in 1964, Robinson gave up a well- paying, very secure  job as a spokesman for Chock Full O’Nuts coffee company. Yet who could deny that if Jackie Robinson was alive today he would be mocked and reviled by the creeps at MSNBC because his political beliefs would not fit the plantation field-hand mentality they demand from blacks?  Number 42 would be just another Uncle Tom to them.

What would George Wallace think?

By hnn

Back in 1965, Bill Plante covered the civil rights movement for CBS News. Now Bill has brought a new story that has roots in that era — about a father’s legacy of racial hatred, and a daughter’s personal march toward redemption….

Peggy Kennedy Wallace is now writing a book about the impact of her father’s politics on his family and speaking to students and others about her personal journey.

“I received a lot of criticism, a lot of hurtful criticism,” she said. “But I just moved on, and I just would like for my children to not remember where my father stood, but where I am standing now.”

A ‘dream,’ high hopes, a tragedy in November: 1963’s sweeping change echoes at 50

By hnn

A new year was just beginning — an extraordinary year, in which so much would change.

Half a century ago, on Jan. 14, 1963, George Wallace took the podium to give his inaugural address as governor of Alabama. His words framed a fiery rejoinder to a civil rights movement gathering strength.

“I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny,” he thundered, “and I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!”

Fifty years later, the words still have the power to shock. In college classes like “The Sixties in History and Memory,” today’s students recoil….
