Democrats' double standard on racism

Lemon?

While opining on air about rapper Kanye West’s brotherly embracing of Trump in a videotaped Oval Office visit, Lemon said this: “I have no animosity for Kanye West. I’m just going to be honest and I may get in a lot of trouble for it. I actually feel bad for him. What I saw was a minstrel show today. Him in front of all these white people, mostly white people, embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African-Americans, because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this, cringing. … Kanye needs help. … We have to stop pretending … like this is normal.”

In other words — another way to put Lemon’s words: Quit acting like a white man, Mr. West. Quit behaving as if you’re not a brother.

Because, as we all know, black men, real black men, cannot respect, admire, support or — gasp! — even like Trump, because that would violate the cardinal rule: Trump Is A Racist.

Democrats have a double standard about everything. Truth, justice, liberty, ethics, morality are completely beside the point to these people. It's all about power.

For crying out loud, this is the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, segregation, infanticide, voter fraud, et c. that we're talking about!

No need to intellectualize the issue. They are not displaying a double standard. They are racists.

They are racists that, in their racism, accuse non-racists of racism.

DIMs may need to dial it down. This could backfire, like the Kavanaugh allegations, and the DIMs could lose more black votes than they gain.

Between the Race Card and the Alleged Sexual Assault Card, they don’t have much else. They certainly don’t want to run on their socialist agenda.

Racism defines them. It is they are and they gain strength from it.

The Democrat Party.

Sometimes I chuckle when I see how many Blacks do everything in their power to remain on the Democrat Plantation, The Plantation they all willingly Joined as soon as the Black Republican Martin Luther King Jr was Murdered.

Does anyone here think that Blacks will ever understand that they are the Economic Slaves of the Democrat Slave Masters?? I guess it’s better than being the Physical Slaves the Democrats controlled.

Ku Klux Klan

The Ku Klux Klan, founded and populated by Democratics after post-Civil War Reconstruction, was reenergized after the 1915 release of D.W. Griffith’s very popular racist & Pro-Klan motion picture The Birth of a Nation. The picture was a particular favorite of Democratic President Woodrow Wilson. As recounted by William Keylor, Professor of History & International Relations at Boston University:

While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People publicly denounced the movie’s blatant appeals to racial prejudice, the president organized a private screening of his friend’s film in the White House for the members of his cabinet and their families. “It is like writing history with lightning,” Wilson observed, “and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.”

After World War I, the popularity of the Klan surged, and it became a political power in many regions of the United States, particularly in the South. It was also popular in the border states, the Mountain States, and the West. Its local political strength gave it a major role in the 1924 Democratic Party National Convention (DNC). However, its participation was unwelcome by many DNC delegates, such as Catholics from the major cities of the Northeast and Midwest. The tension between pro- and anti-Klan delegates produced an intense and sometimes violent showdown between convention attendees from the states of Colorado and Missouri. Klan delegates opposed the nomination of New York Governor Al Smith because Smith was a Roman Catholic. Smith campaigned against William Gibbs McAdoo, who had the support of most Klan delegates.
Ku Klux Klan Platform Plank

The second dispute of the convention revolved around an attempt by non-Klan delegates, led by Forney Johnston of Alabama, to condemn the organization for its violence in the Democratic Party’s platform. Klan delegates defeated the platform plank in a series of floor debates. To celebrate, tens of thousands of hooded Klansmen rallied in a field in New Jersey, across the river from New York City. This event, known subsequently as the “Klanbake”, was also attended by hundreds of Klan delegates to the convention, who burned crosses, urged violence and intimidation against African Americans and Catholics, and attacked effigies of Smith.

The final vote was 546.15 for the Klan, 542.85 against it.

We beat em back in 1865 when we took away their Slaves, why they were allowed to reorganize is beyond me.

If it weren’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few things on which the left is consistent. They are consistent racists.
