Dr. Wayne Perryman’s book...a sneak preview...

s an independent voter and a

fact-finding investigator, I

was asked to review andanalyze Obama’s inspirational and

fascinating speech on race. Many

believe it is one of the best speeches

since Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream”

speech, and I agree. But I have one

problem. He missed the opportunity

to set the record straight on two

issues that he brought up during his

speech.

“His first missed opportunity

came one minute and thirtyfour

seconds into his speech, when he

referred to the Declaration of

Independence and how it was

‘stained by this nation’s original sin

of slavery…’

“Although he follows up and

talks about how slavery “divided

the Colonies and brought theconvention to a stalemate,” he

failed to point out that as a nation

we were always divided over the

issue of slavery from the time the

first slave ship arrived in

Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, to the

end of the Civil War 246 years later.

“He should have told the

audience, that there has never been auniversal endorsement of slavery by

the white citizens of this country and

that white America has always been

split over the issue of slavery. He

could have mentioned that 175 years

before the Emancipation

Proclamation was signed, the

Mennonite Quakers (white folks) of

Germantown, Pennsylvania passed

an anti-slavery resolution in 1688. It

was the first formal protest against

slavery in the Western Hemisphere.

Under this resolution, Quakers who participated in the slave trade were

threatened with expulsion.

“He should have mentioned

that in 1711, sixty -five years before

the Declaration of Independence

was signed, colonies passed various

pieces of legislation to outlaw

slavery, but their laws were

overturned by the British Crown.He should have said, long before

the Civil War, the issue of slavery

was so divisive that whites fought

and killed one another in

opposition to and in support of

slavery. Such was the case in

Congress and Kansas. In 1856,

while white citizens fought on the

streets of Lawrence, Kansas, white

Congressmen literally had fist

fights on the floor of the Senate.

Whites tried to include anti-slavery

language in the Declaration of

Independence, they debated the

issue during the Constitutional

Convention, and when both sides

refused to give in, white churches

split, white denominations split,

white families split ( some

supporting the Union and others

the Confederacy ), political partiessplit and eventually our nation

split, which resulted in the Civil

War - and as Lincoln stated in his

June 16, 1858 speech, America

remained: ‘A House Divided.’

“Since the facts clearly show that we were a “divided nation”

rather than a “racist nation,”Senator Obama should have toldhis listening audience that by 1835the anti-slavery movement hadover 435,000 members and these white abolitionists not only foughtand gave their lives to end slavery,they continued their fight after theCivil War and: ( a ) They passed threeConstitutional Amendments to endslavery, give blacks citizenship andthe right to vote;

( b ) They ratified these Amendments with the approval of the white citizens in three-fourthsof the states;

( c ) They successfully financed andstarted many or our historically Black Colleges which bare their

names.

“And in 1909, they started the

NAACP.

“Long before Lincoln took office

in 1861, whites had outlawed

slavery in Rhode Island, Vermont,

Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New

Hampshire, Connecticut, New

York, New Jersey, Maine, Michigan,

Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas,Oregon, California and Illinois.

The only states that remained slave

states were those under Democrat

control.”

Come to the Dinner/Auction

this October to hear the rest of

the story

“A



More From “101 Constitutional Questions To Ask Candidates”

ax questions seem popular

lately. Here are a few about

Income Taxes.

Is the Federal Income Tax

Constitutioal?

Yes. The Sixteenth Amendment was

adopted according to the requirements

of the constitution.

Is this the type of tax which the

Founding Fathers would have

employed?

No. They provided that direct taxes be

apportioned to the States according to

population, not according to the

incomes of the people.

Has income tax been administered uniformly?

No. A graduated income tax violates

the equal protetion of rights. It

violates the principle of uniformity

required by the Constitution and

makes the property of accumulated

wealth less sacred than those who haveless.

Is it possible to administer the

income tax fairly?

No. This could only be done by setting up a universal monitoring system

similar to a “police state.” This would

violate all of the basic rights

guaranteed in the Fourth Amendment.
