Rev. Wayne Perryman, of Seattle, a recovering Democrat, has pursued lawsuits against the Democratic Party on three occasions, seeking to win an apology for centuries of oppression, murder, mayhem, and bigotry directed against blacks. And although he and most of his fellow plaintiffs, and those who filed amicus briefs, are black, the courts have consistently ruled that blacks of today were not harmed by Democratic racism and lack “standing.” That has been the fate of Reverend Perryman’s most recent effort, dismissed by the court in recent days. Nevertheless, in spite of the court’s refusal to hear the case, it is time once again to help set the record straight.
