That’s a pretty damning story.
Why is it that anyone black that’s successful, upright, educated, and conservative is portrayed as bad, but you have to tap dance round any liberal black whiner because you might be labeled as racist? Look at Steele! A stellar politician and crushed by a white Democrat who more or less promised the black voters more government cheese!
Ever wonder why Rice was grilled the way she was, but the race issue never was brought up by the Jesse Jackson’s, Al Sharptons and so fourth during her hearings? Where was the media, the feminists, or the civil rights leaders?
Why is it that losers with a spotty past are propped up by the black community, but real power houses, the real brains are viewed as some “sell out,” by this community? There are millions that would have no problem voting for President Rice, black AND female! Her race is not the issue, nor her sex organs; but her qualifications, positions on issues, past moral judgments are. Some of the these freaks that bubble to the top and outshine a Powell would be denied entrance to the service as a private for their run ins with the law, drug use, and ssociations with violent organizations advocating the over throw of our government etc.
For years the Democrat party has been courting minority voters. In doing so they brought into the party the screamers like Jesse Jackson, a more or less “shakedown artist.” The black leaders within the Democrat party tend to have loud voices, or they might be fashionably hip like Obama, but they are largely ignorant, the type who just because of race have managed to scratch together their existence which relies on a form of class warfare argument, which is also at the heart of Obama’s agenda in every way.
You see a stark contrast in the black leaders between the Republican and Democrat party. Just compare a Rice with Obama, Powell with Sharpton, Steele with Jackson……...
The problem with Obama, like most Dems, is a refusal to pinpoint the most important SINGLE cause of the cultural degradation in much of the black community. That cause is the destruction of the 2 parent black family. The precipitate cause of this tragedy was the welfare state created by LBJ and (mostly) the DemocRAT Party. But since Barack He who must not be middle named Obama wants to extend and expand the welfare state to all of America, he is careful to avoid pinpointing the correct conclusion.
When you point out that the Democratic Party’s entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.
The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are “for us”. They usually go on to recite an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixon’s Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwater’s principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territory’s. Rvery Democrat antebellum platform espoused support for slavery. The Democratic Party opposed the 13, 14, and 15th amendments to the United States Constitution, Reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnson’s welfare state, “The Great Society.” When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesn’t seem to register either.
The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just don’t know what can be done about it. I constantly engage in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies and history. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
