Speaking of Dem run cities. Here’s an excerpt from a Black Republican running for office who tells black America what is most important. He deserves support from conservatives in Louisiana and the US.

BERNARD: The Ties That Bind And The Anguished Cries Of Slavery

A guest post from Claston Bernard, the Louisiana Republican Party’s endorsed candidate for Congress in the 2nd Congressional District. Check out his website at http://clastonbernard.com.

Excerpt:

...Many slave families were broken forcefully, but it did not prevent slaves from forming new bonds and passing on generational ties. The slave families were God’s constant reminder to the enslavers that family is not a man-made institution.

The slaves recognized this too. In slavery, marriages among slaves were as high as 80% percent. This was not because they were imitating their White masters, but because it was the bond that protected the human family. Slaves did not learn about marriage from Whites and to say so is ridiculous. Families are not a White thing. It is an institution created by God to protect and advance the human family.

In today’s America, marriage among descendants of slaves sits at about 29%. Broken homes litter both urban and rural landscapes. The argument this is due to the oppressive system of slavery and Jim Crow does not hold weight. In 1960, more than 70% of Black children were being raised in two-parent homes. The continued failure of families is due to mass propaganda educational institutions, the Church, the liberal God, and family-hating media. Individuals are responsible for allowing these institutions to continue to dominate their lives and afflict their children.

The Family Unit Creates Ties That Bind

The strength of any society is the bonds of the family. It is why I wake up each morning sometimes traveling hundreds to thousands of miles to make sure I can put bread on my family’s table. It is why I believe having the right to protect your family is an intrinsic right. The government cannot define the family as the family precedes it. It is because of this I believe the US Constitution has enshrined natural rights and is worth fighting for.

When you destroy the family, you destroy the hopes of humanity. If the Black man could maintain his family in poverty and the system of oppressive slavery, he can surely do it today!

Our ability to survive and transmit values are dependent on adaptability. Captured Africans transformed themselves into Americans and went on to build generations of families by adapting and adjusting, not by imitating. In bondage and freedom, they were able to adapt. America is the home of Blacks, Whites and other races. They all adapted to the culture from mostly opposing situations, but we are all 100% Americans. Likewise, myself as an immigrant, I was able to adapt to the American way of life. The path to citizenship is not framed by bloodlines or race.

If America is to survive, it will have to repel one of the most virulent leftist and modern-day liberal attacks to its very foundation. These people are telling today’s Blacks that they are victims of slavery and deserve special treatment and that the US Constitution is a racist doctrine. This differs from the reality that the US Constitution is here to protect us all and provide the protection for any and all to find success. After all, that is the American way. But, success does begin inside the family unit home. Protect our families and you set the stage for our people to flourish.
