Ms. Rice is trying to get that message out, and she is in a position SOCIALLY to say more about it because she is black.
I hope she keeps spreading the truth that Democrats have been historically against people of African descent--and continue to be against them.
Hell
If you call trillions of tax payers dollars ‘nothing,’ then ok, I can agree with that. Better to say, has the Democrat party ACHIEVED anything significant in relation to the amount of their effor towards ‘helping’ Blacks? No...but they foisted upon the country every leftist entitlement scheme they could, and if you don’t think a minority is happier/benefitting with free cheese/free health care/free schooling/racial preferences, well my friend, my I suggest you look at a ‘minority’ in the Third World as a good way to make sure you’re being objective.
You can’t have it both ways...either the Dems are responsible for creation of the ‘Great Society’ and its perpetuation/acceleration to this day, or they’re not. I don’t think you want to spread the idea that Republicans are somehow responsible for most entitlement programs, although God knows they barely resist them these days.
The problem is that you’re trying to ‘outvictim’ the people who invented modern victimhood, leftists. You’ll never win at their game, unless you give free handouts as well, any more than you’ll convince a toddler to not eat free candy because ‘its bad for him.’ Human nature guarantees that when you’re on the teat, you don’t want to leave it, and you definitely don’t want to hear its bad for you.
So what do you end up with? A shell of a Republican party, who failed at entitlement programs, because the other party already had a lock on it.
If you agree with racial politics in your favor, then you lose the moral high ground to resist the same tactics used so much more succesfully by the media/leftists. I’d rather stay on the straight and narrow, and be the party of self reliance. And besides, if someone has to be ‘Black,’ to reach Black people, are you sure you want those kinds of people in your ‘non racist’ party?
You yearn for Blacks to understand that you’re the real help for them...Its evident in your words. What also comes through is the implication that YOU would just DO MORE for them, if they’d only JOIN YOU. Thats a very slippery slope.
