Have a little chuckle with me. I snagged this little meme from some very progressive progressives, a meme I completely agree with. Robert Smalls was a remarkable man, one whose life would definitely make an adventuresome and entertaining movie.
I leave you to do your own research, but the short story is that there was frequent election fraud on the part of the Dems. He was eventually set up and framed, and later pardoned.
He is also well known for having said “I ask that every colored man in the North who has a vote to cast would cast that vote for the regular Republican Party and thus bury the Democratic Party so deep that there will not be seen even a bubble coming from the spot where the burial took place.”
Not even a bubble.
Somebody really should make that movie.
See, there's this thing called biology...

Thank you, Clyde. Much appreciated.😊

Would I watch a Robert Smalls movie? Yes. Will I ever complain about another fast and furious movie? No. Attacking the movies which an extremely large portion of the public obviously loves seems like a great way to assert your cultural relevance.

Right?! But what made me laugh was the idea of making a social justice movie about a black guy who took on the establishment Dems of the day, won, and became his own hero.

The whole thing is pretty hilarious. It reminds me of the time that they tried to replace the face of the founder of the Democratic party on the $20 bill with a gun toting Republicans woman. Strong move!

Lol! It’s kind of like how street racing and nascar was actually heavily influenced by moonshiners trying to outrun the revenuers. We race for fun these days, but these things have a real history! Smalls hijacked a ship and did all sorts of crazy things out of necessity, out of survival, mostly because he was trying to survive his own government at the time. So I guess in a way, government really does empower us to accomplish great things? 😁

If history had been taught that way when I was in high school, I probably would have done much better at it. Truth better than fiction.

Sounds like a great story–one of dozens, if not hundreds, from that time period. What a shame that so many of them have been hidden in the archives and not brought to light. J.

Yikes, your last quote is strong as iron. Too bad the weak minded will hurl accusations- which reminds me,

You are very kind, Colorstorm.
I’m am chuckling about your glass post because, “For now we see through a glass, darkly…” comes to mind. It is important to keep an open mind about all things related to science because all of us really are standing behind a foggy window trying to peer out.

Only to say: the bent straw in the glass of water a foot from your face, meaning ALL the alleged geniuses looking UP through vapor/ water/ their conclusions are distorted as well, without taking into consideration God’s heavens cannot be measured- as well as the earth itself, so back to the bubble of ignorance-

There are so few, really good movies being made these days. This true story would be a great one! I sincerely hope someone takes up this wonderful, true, human interest story and makes a movie about this amazing man! Denzel Washington would be someone I’d choose for this role!

Wouldn’t that be an amazing movie?! Alas, they’d probably edit out the fact that he was a staunch Republican, actually founded the party in SC, and was totally brutalized by Dem election fraud, trumped up charges, and cancel culture. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Certainly explains why the Dems never mentioned him! Why am I not surprised? The ideological hatred of that political party runs deep. I see it in the people I know who hate President Trump and all of us “deplorables.” They are never subtle about it.
The “racist” claims by them don’t even hold water! It’s not the skin color, it’s the Americans (Constitutional Republic believers) vs. the socialist/communist ideology believers that drives all of their hatred.
I never thought it would get this bad in my lifetime. But here we are. Some people have awakened from their mass formation psychosis, and have abandoned their hatred and the haters who had that psychological grip on their minds. So much indoctrination over the years has caused this huge divide.
I pray that with God’s help, we will overcome this awful time in our history. ✝️🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸

I agree I would watch a movie about him and laugh as Dems heads explode because he doesn’t fit their idea of a black man and former slave. He seems like a very remarkable man and I can see him laughing the whole time he was saving other slaves and taking them to freedom right under Confederate noses.
My hometown in Illinois was a pit stop for the underground railroad moving slaves up North. I was always proud that my hometown was a part of that history. Since I moved to Texas I have had a few people try to say my family had to have owned slaves. First of all not all the people in the South owned slaves or even agreed in slavery and second I was not born in the South I was born in Illinois and no one in my family ever owned slaves. I am the only one in my family to live more than a few month in the South my parents did for about 6 months in Alabama. I have lived in Texas 16 years now.
The problem with Dems is they know nothing about true history or the roles people played in it. They want to write their own narrative. They accomplish only looking like the fools they are. I know they use Uncle Tom as a slur towards blacks that do not agree with them and they have evidently never read the book because he was the hero of the book.

Because remember, in those days, the Democrats were the party of slavery and the solid south. That didn’t change until the Johnson administration and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the ruckus over the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party at the national convention in 1964. Only after that did the Republican party become identified as the white people’s party in the south. The southern Democrats’ election fraud in the aftermath of the Civil War was aimed at suppressing and neutralizing black votes. [As in, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”]
