GOP Rep: Slavery was a 'blessing in disguise,' blacks don't 'value' education

October 6, 2012
By: Robert SobelSubscribe

A Republican state representative from Arkansas has released his own personal memoir where he doesn't blow typical conservative dog whistles, but screams his own racism out loud.

State Rep. Jon Hubbard from Arkansas has recently released his memoir titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative." In his memoir, Hubbard offers complaints and grievances commonly found in books written by conservatives, but Hubbard took his work one step further. According to a review at talkbusiness.net, Hubbard argues that slavery was actually a "blessing in disguise" and that African-Americans have benefited from it in the long run.

“the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”

Hubbard doesn't stop at slavery, he continues and notes that African-Americans are just lazy and don't value education.
“ Wouldn't life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?”

Continuing the theme of African-Americans being lazy, Hubbard doesn't try to sugarcoat it and states his opinions very clearly.

“Will it ever become possible for black people in the United States of America to firmly establish themselves as inclusive and contributing members of society within this country?”

Hubbard's comments are shocking, but shouldn't come as a complete surprise. The Republican party has been on the wrong side of racial issues for the better part of the last 100 years. While mainstream Republicans might not be as clear as Hubbard, the underlining core of their bigotry shines through.

Mike- is this your Ozark brother? This guy could go far in the Tea Party movement...

Congressman? The story you posted is about a state representative, NOT a Congressman.

Are you so unethical that you are willing to lie in order to paint Republican Congressmen in a bad light? Or are you just too stupid (or too drunk) to know the difference?

Could you give us some examples of this underlining core of mainstream Republican bigotry? Please include examples related to people like Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, etc.

No, if any party are really bigots, it's the Democrats. They are the ones who are all-too-happy to let Blacks subsist on the crumbs of welfare as long as they are willing to be voting slaves on the Democrat plantation.

Aren't state representatives called Congressmen in your part of the world... :???: They sure are around here... I knew exactly what I was writing- and like I said this Republican politician should fit right in with Perry, Bachmann, and the majority of the rest of that Tea Party pack....

Does he fit in with this Tea Party leader?


Beginning with its Jan. 13 Hollywood premiere, a black pastor and civil rights leader is introducing nationally his provocative film, “Runaway Slave,” which documents how government programs enslave his community.

“I hope that the impact of this film will be to strengthen the resolve of the black community, not to be taken for granted by those who have used them to secure elected office over the last 50 years,” said Rev. C. L. Bryant, a former Garland, Texas NAACP chapter president and the creator of the film.

“There is a 50-year-old lie that caused an entire people to become slaves to the political idea that the government knows best,” he said.

Because Bryant is escaping from this slavery, he is a runaway slave, and to help others he building the new Underground Railroad, he said.

“I hope the impact of this film will be to put these words in the mouths of black Americans: ‘Never again will we be co-opted and used by those who make money from our vote,’” he said.

An ordained Baptist minister, Bryant said he wants to expose how this slavery is perpetuated by very progressive, big-government programs that purport to liberate African-Americans from poverty and idleness.

In the process of traveling around the country and working to figure out why black Americans continue to lag behind, the pastor said he was forced to acknowledge that views and positions he once held vehemently are the same ones creating and maintaining the state of bondage.

Featuring prominent black conservatives, such as Herman Cain and Thomas Sowell, the documentary is a series of interviews with regular people and activists about the state of blacks in America and what needs to be done.

In one of the highlights of the film, Cain said, “The increasing size and scope of the federal government is the new plantation mindlessly.”

Deneen Borelli, who wrote “Blacklash,” who also appears in the film, said her book has similar themes to those in Bryant’s documentary and echoes Cain’s observation.

“My book ‘Blacklash: How Obama and the Left are Driving Americans to the Government Plantation,’ is about my personal journey, how I got to where I am today,” she said.

“I also talk about how the Obama administration and Obama himself is pushing regulations that are not in the best interest of our country,” she said.

“As a result, we are seeing unemployment in the black community that is over 16 percent, and among black youth, it is over 40 percent,” she said.

Today, Bryant is a Tea Party leader in Louisiana, the founder of the organization “One Nation Back to God” and a fellow at the Washington-based FreedomWorks.

Matt Kibbe, the president of the FreedomWorks Foundation, said, “We are incredibly excited to be a part of this project.” The 112-minute film was a special project of FreedomWorks, which serves as a national hub and support system for decentralized Tea Party groups across the country.

“’Runaway Slave’ is a film for all Americans. If you love your country, if you love the ideas that this country was founded on, then you should see this movie,” he said.

“I think it takes no prisoners, it’s iconoclastic, I think it is going to challenge everybody’s assumptions — the things they just took for granted, the things they thought they knew based on what they read in the newspaper,” he said.

“It’s going to peel away the scales, so people can have a serious re-thinking of what they thought they knew,” he said.

If that's the case, it should be simple enough for you to prove with some links to articles referring to Montana State Representatives as Montana Congressmen.

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." --Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Texas), 1957

I was discussing this Repub racism/bigotry for everything with some folks from Texas and KC on another site- when I had another friend who lurks on this site (and gets a good laugh from the rightwingernuts) send me this...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/us/dna-gives-new-insights-into-michelle-obamas-roots.html?pagewanted=1&_r=3&smid=fb-share&

This is kinda long but REALLY neat.

I thought of those on Ranchers who claim to be so pure in their color !!!

We're all mixed up....some of this and a dash of that....it's what is called LIFE!!!

Now, for the first time, the white forebears who have remained hidden in the first lady’s family tree can be identified. And her blood ties are not only to the dead. She has an entire constellation of white distant cousins who live in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas and beyond, who in turn are only now learning of their kinship to her.

Those relatives include professionals and blue-collar workers, a retired construction worker, an accountant, a dietitian and an insurance claims adjuster, among others, who never imagined they had black relatives. Most had no idea that their ancestors owned slaves.


Mike- you and a bunch of those Texas folks better run get some DNA'ing done- you could be our First Lady's Kissing Cousin.... :wink: :p :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not "Congressmen". :lol:

The real racists are the followers of Margaret Sanger and her organization "Planned Parenthood". They locate abortion centers in black communities to try to eleminate the black race, and the Democrats fund them.

Good try at the Liberal ploy of changing the subject when getting slapped around.

No Zulu or Swahili in my past. Maybe some "Blackfeet"? :lol: :lol:

Heard it said many times by blacks in my neighborhood that 'BLACK'S OUGHT TO BE ON THEIR KNEES EVERYDAY THANKING GOD THAT THEIR ANCESTORS WERE BROUGHT OVER TO AMERICA AS SLAVES'. [paraphrase]

They are referring that they could be today stuck in that hellhole called Africa. So in essence, Slavery is the best thing that ever happened to them. And they know it.

We're still waiting, Oldtimer. This is part of the greater issue you have with credibility. Are you going to do anything about it?
