The Liberal Elite and Black Intellectual Serfdom

Recently, while campaigning for the upcoming midterm elections, President Obama engaged in classic liberal race-baiting by demagogically asserting that Republicans are counting on blacks not turning up to the polls. However, despite Obama's agenda in making that assertion, unfortunately, the underlying premise of his comment is accurate: the majority of blacks unthinkingly vote for Democrats in droves.

It is my contention that black people who diligently vote for Democrats are intellectual slaves to the liberal agenda, inasmuch as they, for the most part, are ignorant of the history of the Democratic Party and vote for policies that harm their communities. It is only a black intellectual slave who can observe the impact of liberal policies on the black community without having a scintilla of unease about pulling the lever for Democrats -- election after election.

Black liberals have been cleverly coaxed into believing that Democrats have their best interests at heart because these Democrats no longer don white pointed hoods, lynch people, and burn crosses. With more sophistication than the mass-murdering tactics they employed in the days of yore, Democrats continue to actively perpetuate insidious policies that keep blacks on the lowest rung of the socioeconomic totem pole.

The most prominent method that Democrats currently use to advance their atrocious policies in the black community is the use of black liberal elites as decoys.

The most deplorable example of this is the exponential rise in the illegitimacy rate that came as a result of its liberal subsidization. As was argued by the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan -- a rare sensible liberal -- the subsidization of illegitimacy poses all sorts of problems for the black community, including stymied economic progress, low IQs in children, high dropout rates, crime, and the dismantling of the black family. Today, as a result of the Democrats' "well-intentioned" welfare policies, we now have a 70% illegitimacy rate in the black community, which will likely increase if the largesse of Big Government is not stopped.

I heard a black woman "activist" on TV going on about blacks needing "home ownership" more than anyone.

If the foundations of a home are not there (prayer, 2 parent families, commitment), that "home" is even less than sheet rock and pine studs.

Anyone sincere and serious about helping blacks as individual Americans achieve prosperity and success has to be willing to honestly assess all the potential factors involved in preventing many blacks from achieving all that America can offer. These include cultural attitudes, and the demotivating influence of the ‘soft bigotry of low expectations’.

There has to be a willingness to discuss and analyze why crime is higher in black communities, and why drop-out rates are higher, and test scores are lower. Further, there has to be an end to the Obama and Jesse Jackson type of approach that avoids objective analysis, but instead points fingers everywhere else, including ‘the rich and privileged’, which is too often code for ‘white and successful’.

It's absolutely true. If blacks were aware at all of the history of the Democratic Party, then they would know that it is the Party of Slavery, Oppression, and the KKK.

And the Republican Party is the party of Emancipation.

Martin Luther King was a Republican. History has been completely inverted by the Democrats.

The Democratic Party has engaged in breathtaking lies and propaganda in order to accomplish this feat...

I guess that blacks must be stupid.

But it is also the party of pork and goodies.
