Beware of those who might feign sympathy or pity on you because they want power over you.
Martin Luther King Jr., in his famous speech, had a vision that was, for a long time, woven into the American psyche: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” However, the evolution of the relationship between the sons has been marked by complexity and adversity.
Since its establishment in January 1828, the Democrat party was the Party of Slavery, governed by Plato’s philosophy that it was right for the ‘better’ to rule over the ‘inferior.’
Neither the Emancipation Proclamation nor the ravages of the Civil War changed the slave owners’ moral convictions. Although the war had settled that blacks were human beings with souls—hence, eligible not just for physical freedom but also for constitutional equality—the Democrats would not allow the former slaves to get too far from their plantations.
For almost one hundred years after the war ended, all the Democrat party’s efforts would be devoted to elaborate political maneuvers to forestall the nightmarish scenario of blacks voting. Since the Republican Party was formed to abolish slavery and was the driving force behind liberating slaves, blacks were expected to vote overwhelmingly for Republicans.
At a moment of greatest weakness, the Democrat-dominated state legislatures passed the Black Codes, followed by Jim Crow laws that enacted racial segregation and a host of discriminatory measures that prevented the former slaves from voting. As Alabama Governor George Wallace Jr., infamously proclaimed in 1963, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” There was no need for any other political or moral justification.

Perhaps it was the power of the “Fireside Chat” over the radio.
Imagine what would happen if everyone switched to the internet and the internet was Republican only. FDR’s Fireside Chat may have been huge for the time.
Supposedly FDR barely won the Protestant vote in 1936 and lost it in 1940.

Tamed like wild animals or TRAINED like apes? I still don’t think a lot of them are tamed by the look of actions they take. Their rate of violent crime is something like three times higher than any other group.
It’s terrible. We had an OSHA meeting once for safety in the warehouse and this guy from OSHA thought it was a good idea to go around the table and have the employees read from the safety manual. Oh oh.
The first guy could barely get through 4 words, the next guy barely 2 sentences, and by the third when he started stuttering the OSHA guy said “Maybe this isn’t such a good idea” and he just read the rest of it by himself.
Mind you, this is the 1990s. Today it’s a million times worse, today they don’t even know what language to talk in. And then we wonder why NYC has these young people supporting Hamas.
100+ years of a Dem controlled education system and this is what you get. Now go read some Civil War letters home for contrast.
