The Democratic party: Modern day slave master J. Matt Barber,
November 19, 2004
As a little girl in segregated Birmingham Alabama, Condoleezza Rice, like so many other black Americans, often experienced systematic racism rooted in old-fashioned hatred. On a balmy September morning in 1963 that hatred manifest to sight, the vile portrait of pure evil. A group of radical white supremacists bombed a Birmingham church in a black neighborhood killing four little girls. One of those little girls, Denise McNair, was a friend to Condoleezza Rice.
From her humble beginnings in the Deep South, to one of the President’s most trusted confidants, Dr. Rice has overwhelmingly surpassed external expectations and diligently achieved internal aspirations to become the most powerful black woman in United States history. If her nomination survives Senate confirmation, which is fully expected, she will hold our Nation’s highest Cabinet level position: Secretary of State.
In light of her countless laudable achievements and historical milestones, surely Dr. Rice is a beacon of pride for all who purport to support the black race — she is undoubtedly respected and revered by those who delight in the American dream fulfilled and on display — such a story will certainly be the fabric of hope and inspiration, woven throughout the hearts and minds of America’s black youth for decades to come… No… so very regrettably and predictably, such is not the case…not as long as Democrats have anything to say about it.
You see, the Democratic Party, the liberal "mainstream" media and the rest of the cultural elites are having a very hard time handling Dr. Rice’s rise to power. They’ve waged a disgraceful, racist and cowardly back-door assault against her. Why? Little Ms. Condoleezza has wandered away from the plantation. She refuses to slave in the cotton fields of "progressive" ideology. If she is allowed credibility and is perceived as an acceptable role model, then perhaps black Democrats, heretofore taken for granted, will begin to recognize her achievements as legitimate and honorable, and worse…begin to share her socially and fiscally conservative, Republican values. If this happens…all is lost.
In a manner that is objectively and demonstrably racist, liberal Democrats and the media have collectively assumed the persona of David Duke. Here’s but a snippet: In his recent comic strip, Doonesbury creator and liberal Democrat Garry Trudeau depicts Dr. Rice as an un-educated idiot, and refers to her as "Brown Sugar." In his recent cartoon, liberal Democrat and Boston Globe syndicated cartoonist Pat Oliphant characterizes Dr. Rice as a squawking parrot perched upon President Bush’s finger, blindly, mindlessly and dutifully observing his every whim. Her lips are exaggerated in a grossly bulbous and ethnically stereotypical fashion. And, with his recent masterpiece, liberal Democrat and LA Times editorial cartoonist Jeff Danziger reminds us all of the days when the KKK actually had some pull. His cartoon portrays Dr. Rice as, what can only be described as a tattered barefoot slave "mammy" (probably Prissy from Gone with the Wind). She sits in a rocking chair with her legs spread. On her lap she holds an aluminum tube like an infant (ostensibly a tube of the uranium enrichment variety). She attempts to feed the tube with a bottle and then, in the stereotypical vernacular of a "colored," says, "I knows all about aluminum tubes. Correction. I don't know nuthin' about aluminum tubes."
Yet, we wait. We wait for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to explode on the scene demanding that Trudeau, Oliphant and Danziger be skewered alive and pealed. We wait for the NAACP, and the droves of other liberal Democrats who fancy themselves as America’s (self appointed) "black leadership" to demand that all three be fired and banished to Nebraska, Oklahoma or some other Red-State. But, we wait in vain. Instead, we hear the deafening and ever so telling clamor of indifferent silence. They’re cut from the same cloth you see — they play for the same team — the same rules don’t apply — integrity be damned! One need only imagine the utter pandemonium had a conservative Republican conceptualized and produced the same racist refuse.
Still, on the larger front in the battle between Republicans and Democrats for the hearts, minds, souls and votes of black Americans, it’s quite simple. The Democratic Party’s survival is dependent upon blacks being dependent upon the Democratic Party. Confusing? Not really. One of the Party’s chief tenets, and that which is most central to its survival, is the perpetual maintenance of Black America’s dependence on Big (Democrat controlled) Government — it’s the Party’s notion that another promised entitlement yields another black vote. For the Democratic Party to live another day, save another tree, kill another baby…the backward fiction that a successful black-man is not really a black-man at all, must live on. Once that is gone and the secret gets out — Checkmate! — Game-over.
Perhaps the marked hypocrisy revealed in the Democratic Party’s recent deplorable and racist treatment of Condoleezza Rice has done enough to reveal the man behind the curtain — to expose black America to the reality that they have been, for far too long, taken for granted — used — exploited by the Democratic Party. And as more and more black Americans begin to embrace the success oriented, values driven, economically sound principles held by the Republican party and shared by such great Americans as Condoleezza Rice, Clarance Thomas and Colin Powell, then perhaps more and more black Americans will resolve to break free and walk away from the Democratic Party’s beguiling chains of bondage.

If you listened to Rush the day he was discussing those cartoons, and heard how many angry black ex-Democrats were calling in to renounce their old party, you'd know just how thin the ice Dims are standing on is.
Condoleezza Rice is a great role model for kids and a real success story, so it's no surprise the liberals hate her.
I say let the Dims have at it. The more of this tripe they spew the more black America will realize how hypocritical patronizing and condiscending the democratic party is being to them.....If this sort of thing continues, you will see the next republican presidentional candidate pick up a fourth of the black vote. Look out, they are just expediting that which is already occuring, the loss of there stranglehold on the black vote. If they lose that the republicans will dominate for the next 50 years
Thank you for posting this!!!!
And WELCOME TO FreeRepublic!!!!
This current Democrat "Traitor, Treason, Racism, Hate" Party must be destroyed at the ballot in 2006/2008. Black folk: Get rid of these Democrat party deadbeats and losers and join American society as you should have years and years ago. If any group of people deserves the benefits of our free and oppotunity society, it is the decendents of American slavery.
I so admire Dr. Rice. She's smart, she's well-read, she's pretty and more important--an OVERCOMER. She is the American dream. Everybody has something in their lives to overcome, whether it be race, economic stature, physical stature, educational barriers--there's hundreds of them. She's such a role model and I salute her. I'd love to see her rise as high as she possibly can. It warms my heart to see someone out there do what people say can't be done.
dr. rice has brains, + that scares the hell out of losers like sharpton + jackson.
The disloyal opposition is so self-centered and narcissistic that, like fibbing 4 year olds, they would never concieve that we could possibly see through their lies or through their peculiar gambit that of hysterically accusing others of doing the exact same thing they are doing.
I'll say it once again. The view of Democrats towards blacks is essentially the old "We treat our darkies good!" (therefore, why should they care about being free) attitude of the plantation owners.
Great read, but "peal" refers to the ringing of a bell, while "peel"--as in peeling a fruit or unfortunate conservative--is what you need here. Always remember though, spelling is never as important as content.
Excellent.
The rat party besides being the party of death, mental depression/lunacy is the Slave/Racist Party.
Thanks for the ping.
Fyi, ping lists and a welcome to Free Republic to jimluke01
Good morning, Dave! You're welcome
This could be another one of those stupid reactions by the Rats.
We have a conservative black friend who came over from the dark side in the 1990's. He has received a lot of grief from his family and his wife's large family.
This racism by the Slave Party has infuriated his wife and her sisters, and they are leaving the rat side. These are intelligent, hard working women/wives and up to now rat supporters. They voted for Kerry in the last election. Today, they would vote for GW.
Condi Rice also studied under Madeline Albright's father Joseph Korbel at the Univ. of Denver. A frequent dinner guest at the Korbel/Albright home, she was also encouraged to pursue graduate studies in international relations by Prof. Korbel.
