THE PERCEIVED STUPIDITY OF THE BLACK VOTER
My father once told me; “That when you become conformably living in a state of stupidity, you tend to want to stay there.”
When I made the choice to leave the Democratic Party over 10 years ago over ideology differences and general disrespect towards my community, I firmly believed that I broke those chains that had kept me tied to their plantation of electoral stupidity.
In the 10 years on the run, I have watched with anger as my community has been used repeatedly as a bullet proof vest to insulate Democratic Party Candidates and Leaders from their supporters when it comes to their repeated failures to win national elections. These candidates, party leaders, supporters and their Black operatives all complain the reason they lost is because Black voters were somehow disenfranchised, had their votes thrown out or suppressed and were intimidated by white Republican operatives, candidates and party leaders.
In 1998 I remember radio ads targeted towards the Black community put together by Jesse Jackson and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that claimed “When we don’t vote Democrat we let another brother get shot, when we don’t vote Democrat, we let another brother get lynched and when we don’t vote Democrat, we let another church burn.” It would seem that Jesse Jackson was willing to help the DNC in their campaign of fear targeted towards our community, the same community he abandon a long time ago for the big house of the Democratic Party.
In 2000, we saw the Democrats and their Black operatives and groups fear tactics targeted towards the Black community take a new twist as it was not good enough for Democrats to claim that a vote for Republicans would return us not only to the days of mass shootings, lynching and church burnings, but a vote for Republicans would return Black America to the days of slavery, mass jailings and a lost of all civil rights. When all these tactics failed and it looked like then Texas Governor George W. Bush would win the Electoral College Vote over then Vice President Albert Gore, Democrats and their Black operatives began a campaign of disinformation and excuses. These Democrats claimed that if all the votes had been counted in Florida’s heavily Black Democratic Areas, then Gore would be President, not Bush. Democrats went as far as to claim that Black voters were disenfranchised and had their votes thrown out, funny how these same Democrats never complained about those Black votes thrown out in New York City due to greater voter spoilage than in Florida, but New York was a state that Gore won by a wide margin and it only counts when it works against a Democrat.
In 2002 Democrats blamed Black voters outright for their failure to capture the House and retain their one vote majority in the Senate. Democrats had sought for over 2 years to fan the flames of hatred of Bush in the Black community and conduct a campaign of disinformation and smear, the battlecry was “Remember what happen in 2000, don’t let it happen again elect the Democrats to protect your vote, “but when their campaign fell flat Democrats and their Black operatives were quick to blame the Black community for not showing up and doing the right thing on election day.
In 2004 Democrats well aware that Blacks were getting a little sick and tired of being taken for granted and perceived as stupid sought to refine their tactics by claiming that electronic voting machines could not be trusted and that Republicans would use electronic voting machines to steal another election because the machines were made in Texas by a Bush supporter, Democrats went as far as to demand and had foreign election observers be brought in to make sure the election was fair.
When it was clear that Bush would win a second term, Democrats then claimed that Black voters in Ohio were disenfranchised because of the weather and long lines on Election Day. Democrats like Congressmen John Conyers went as far as to have mock hearing and had his staff put together a report that listed a whole host of conspiracy theories on why Senator John F. Kerry lost Ohio and thus the Presidency to Bush.
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxers fearful of having her fellow Democrat Senators lambasted again by master film propagandist Michael Moore signed on to an official Congressional Protest from Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Senator Boxer even came with tears in her eyes as Jones rattled off a list of far fetched theories on why Kerry lost Ohio in a vain attempt to turn out Constitutional Republic’s Election Process into a laughing stock, which in the end failed.
I will say one thing I do cry with Boxer over one thing and that is that a majority of Blacks will somehow believe that the election was once again stolen from another Democrat and for those Blacks I do weep, because their chains have been tighten once again and Democrats will continue to perceive our community as being stuck on stupid.
As our dear President Reagan used to say, "The most frightening words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help".

I understand ... I just wanted a few people to appreciate the typso :-).
Well done! (You should email this one over to Hannity...)
You don't think he's posting from a chechen terrorist stronghold, and his disoverey that the last of the yak butter is rancid has him riled up? That post reeks of "never having been in a decent country."
haha! :^D
you know your essay is close to home when it stirs the trolls. TB, congrats on your work
I'm no doctor, but with his [?] organs positioned in such a manner, I doubt he [?] lives much longer anyway. ;)
WoW.. what a title.. Worthy of Ann Coulter..
Now thats a tooth sucker.. Could get gets some blacks sucking their teeth on this beautiful screed.. If read the logic could break thru.. Nice Job... Maybe even some liberal whites could get a 2 x 4 to the head.. probably not through, nothing as thick as a liberal whites head..
well said, well spoken BG...... (ok, who knows it, come on?)
coolestever didn't make it very long.
Absolutely. Liberalism is just another word for racism, in my book.
Personal example - a few years ago I applied for doctoral programs around the country. One program that accepted me sent me an invitation to a summer 'help' session for minorities. All done in the name of Affirmative Action, of course.
I asked the program if they had even looked at my record or if they had just looked at my race. I have 2 law degrees, practiced law for a number of years, and had recently returned for a masters in another area. I don't need any help, thank you, to get thru graduate school. Obviously, all they saw was 'black' on the application and they decided I was going to need some hand holding.
Had I gone to this program, and once the white students found out I attended a program for the "stupid n*****s," I would never have been able to prove myself their equal as a scholar.
This program was willing to throw a fair amount of money my way, but I didn't want "stupid n*****s" money" and went to another school that ended up giving me a lot more money for being the brilliant (and modest) person that I am.
LoL! Is something wrong with your keyboard?
I'm serious.
It's so over-the-top I thought may be a FReeper prank. LOL!
The long lines probably did affect the number of registered votes in certain areas, but not in the way the DNC spin-meisters put it. Long lines make it real hard to perform the kind of vote fraud where a bunch of guys go from poll to poll, voting in the names of dead or moved-away voters
They keep voting for Democrats who keep promising a bigger slice of the welfare pie - one they continually fail to deliver.
I'd say we've moved beyond "perceived".
Obviously, there are exceptions, and I'm not just talking about blacks who vote Republican. I'm talking about blacks who reject the rhetoric of the Democrats and the race pimps for what it is and decides they are going to vote based not on what government will *do* for them but on what they will do for themselves.
If they choose, after that, to still vote for Democrats then at least I would consider them an informed voter. But if they vote Democrat simply because they believe all the racist hooey fed to them by white liberals, then they are stupid - not just perceived stupid but truly are. They are consigning themselves to the slavery of a government system that will ultimately fail them.
One of the long-time real heroes of School Choice is Polly Williams of Milwaukee, a person who, many years ago, saw the damage being done to minority children by a monopoly system controlled by unions and bureaucrats.
As a Wisconsin legislator, she worked with Gov. Thompson to get a Choice program going, and she has spoken out nationally on behalf of returning the schools to the control of the parents--parents who, by the way, provide the kids and the tax dollars which support the failing system.
You can read John Fund's interview with her at this web address:

Clearly, Polly Williams understands what you have stated, and she has had the courage to speak out and work for change.
Yep....as usual, the liberals don't know how badly they hurt those they are trying to "help".
Without Affirmative Action, a diploma from Emory Med School would tell me all I need to know about the quality of the doctor I am going to see.
With AA, however, I will more than likely pass on a black physician.
Really sad.
Your a wonderful writer, as I've told you before. I wish you would go on speaking tours and could be heard by larger groups of people. It is that way here in the Black community in Philadelphia. Our Mayor is as crooked as they come. They found an FBI bugging device in his office right before the election. People in his inner circle are being indicted for pay to play and when the bugging was publicized the first person to come out was Chakka Fattah saying he's being crucified because he's a black man, got the Black community all riled up and he won the election. They used his race to try to cover up how crooked his administration is. During the Presidential election, when Clinton came here, our Mayor gave city workers half a day off (with pay) and had them all file out of their offices to go to the Kerry rally.
