Does Democrat approach to identity politics hurt African-Americans?
The US Report ^ | Monday, April 26, 2010 at 11:44AM | Kay B. Day

I had a long conversation this weekend with a young woman who is sharp and educated, but held firmly in place by Democrat politics. This is partly a result of history taught in public schools. As we chatted, it became apparent she believed a number of myths Democrats love to promote.

Among them:

•JFK eagerly promoted civil rights legislation from the time he was in the Senate. [Not.]

•There are no legislators with past ties to the Ku Klux Klan in the Democrat Party. All the racists joined the Republican Party [Not.]

•Democrat policies are consistent with increasing job opportunities for African-Americans in sectors such as landscaping, hotel and lodging, amusement parks and restaurants. [Not.]

•Democrats would never undermine the US Constitution. [Not.]

•The first president to sign civil rights legislation was a Democrat. [Not and this one is an outright lie taught in most public school history classes.]

•Democrats are the party of the people! They would never cater to special interests. [Not. Check out Goldman Sach’s political contributions dating to the 1990s.]

•There are no black Republicans! [Not.]

Yes, it does, as it is intended to. They have to keep African-Americans down and mad at “whitey” to keep them on the donk plantation...

Its not communism but rather tribalism. Communism is actually a modern form of government whereas tribalism is a barbaric form of government. Leave it to dems to retard true progress. Its all they know.
