Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats

This video offers a strongly dissenting view of the relationship between Democrats and black people. The most interesting part to me comes at 14:15 when he talks about the 3/5th clause of the Constitution.

Here is the text of article 1 section 2 paragraph 3:

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

Like the narrator of this video, I don’t see this as a statement about the value of human life.

Without independently verifying the claims in the video, here are some of them:
* KKK founded by Democratic Party.
* Martin Luther King was a Republican.
* History is being rewritten. “Democrat” being replaced by “conservative” in historical accounts.
* Truman (D) ended discrimination in public schools on paper for political reasons.
* Eisenhower (R) actually desegregated schools.
* Kennedys helped MLK get out of jail to break black support for Republicans.
* Woodrow Wilson (D) segregated military, hosted KKK film at White House.
* Teddy Roosevelt’s (R) friend Booker T. Washington.
* 3/5 clause hurt slave owners, because they gave them less representation.

Ron Paul to Ben Bernanke: It’s not fair to destroy the dollar and cheat responsible savers!

* Recent government spending = recent increase in debt = 3.7 trillion dollars = $400k per unemployed person

* Ron Paul hopes some day government becomes willing to speak with the free market economists who’ve been right over and over and over.

* Questioning about morality of inflation.

* Questioning about excess reserves.

* Businessmen need to be able to project their costs.
