Why Are You Relinquishing Your Birthright to the Democrats?
American Thinker.com ^ | August 12, 2019 | Eileen F. Toplansky

This is for Taylik, Dewayne, Kanesha, Latoya, and any other African-American Millennials who do not fully comprehend that the Democrats have never stopped attempting to strip African-Americans of their birthrights.

The Democratic Party knows only one way to reach the black population in this country. They race-bait; they lie; they foment change that never actually helps black people. They engage in covert racism against the very people they claim to want to help.

Cities that are Democratically controlled have an abysmal record of assisting black citizens. Yet, when election time comes around, the Democrats swoop in with their promises, only to leave when the television cameras cease running.

In 2016, Investor's Business Daily asserted that "[w]hen Democrats are in control, cities tend to go soft on crime, reward cronies with public funds, establish hostile business environments, heavily tax the most productive citizens, and set up fat pensions for their union friends. Simply put, theirs is a Blue State blueprint for disaster." IBD cites Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Oakland, and Newark, the latter being the fifth worst city to live in 2015.

The heirs of Frederick Douglass have much to be proud of. They have a legacy of strength and family unity against impossible odds. Even during times of slavery, black families were composed of nuclear families, and marriage was the means to cement relationships. Reginald Washington writes of the Freedmen's Bureau Marriage Records.

Yes, it’s a great read, but not enough people will read it to make any difference.

The Propaganda DNC Media controls the narrative and there is nothing to indicate that is changing.

If POTUS Trump Wins Reelection in a landslide like POTUS Reagan did, and the House and Senate end up with strong GOP Majorities next year, I may be proven wrong in my assessment.

Why do blacks vote Democrat in such huge numbers, huge percentages? Is it because of gratitude to President Johnson for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act?

“House and Senate end up with strong GOP Majorities next year, “

It would be nice to think so, but would it really make a difference?

A significant fraction of the target audience doesn’t read material of this level or type.

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years".- President Lyndon Baines Johnson (D-TX)

They can’t keep their noses out of other folks business and everything they do to “help” people turns out just like this. A classic cartoon but very relevant in cause and effect comparison.

Pres. Johnson did push through the 1968 Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts but Republican Senators and House members voted for it to cancel out a lot of the Democrats in Congress who voted against these bills. Little credit is given to the Republicans for helping Blacks get civil rights. Pres. Eisenhower sent federal marshals and troops into Alabama in the late 1950s to guard Black students who wanted to get into the university down there.

LBJ’s famous words.

“I’ll have those (racist slur)s voting Democrat for the next 200 years”.

And apparently, he was right.

Baltimore's black community received over a billion dollars... enough for every black man, woman, and child living in Baltimore to receive $25,000 each.

But Democrat corruption runs deep - baked into big city democrat machines. Money that reached everyday black citizen in Baltimore was ZERO, nada, bupkis... Any black person who objects is ostracized - any white person who objects is called a racist or white supremacists...

Time to start the real 'talk' on race... and to thank God Trump stepped up - speaking truth - knowing white liberal elites would attack him and his children...

Put down the bong. Civil Rights Act was 1964. Voting Rights Act was 1965. Ike put federal troops into Little Rock, AR, in 1957. It was 1963 when Gov. George Wallace (D-AL) made his "stand in the school house door" in Tuscaloosa, AL, where he was told to step aside by the AL National Guard which was federalized by POTUS JFK.

There are only 40,000 black people in Baltimore?

“Lynne Patton, regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said that $16 billion in grants was given to Cummings’s district alone in 2018.”

My numbers were off by 15 billion and 3 years... and the number of districts covered... It was 16 billion, one year, and only Cummings district...

I ran across it the other day and it struck me as a good symbolic representation for the outcome of everything the left tries to do in the name of “helping others” with their issues. And like this clip, in the end they will have to be chased down and beaten before the idiots are going to stop trying to help in this fashion of failure and just mind their own business.

Trump was livid ------last month, Trump highlighted the issues in West Baltimore while going after Mr. Cummings. "Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA," Trump said in a series of tweets. "As proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming[s'] District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.”

AND THIS---“We found Baltimore drowning in taxpayer dollars,” Open the Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski wrote in a Forbes editorial Wednesday.
<><> Baltimore reportedly has 13,522 employees with a combined payroll that exceeds $821 million annually.
<><> The mayor’s office paid $7 million for 111 employee salaries in 2018;
<><> The mayor paid $1 million for (cough) public relations fees.

==============================

But can Baltimore explain this?

Baltimore’s schools pay another 10,770 employees a combined payroll of $619.3 million—
<><> $79.1 million is spent outside the classroom,
<><> $11.4 million on psychologists, $16.4 million for social workers, $7.4 million for counselors,
<><> $2.7 million for bus drivers,
<><> $41.2 million for assorted principals and assistant principals.

AND THIS
<><> NPR reported students at Baltimore’s public schools are freezing.....
<><> Baltimore winter classrooms do not have any heat. Kids are freezing.
<><> Baltimore public schools spend a whopping $15,000 plus per student per year,
<><> but Democrat PTB say they can’t afford to heat the classrooms.

IS KEEPING BALTIMORE SCHOOL KIDS FREEZING A DEMOCRAT
SCAM TO SCROUNGE MORE TAX DOLLARS FOR THEMSELVES

================================

Cummings is on-record, allocating $4.6 billion for illegal immigrants but homeless people are right there in West Baltimore — two blocks from his district. One man said-"I haven’t seen Elijah Cummings in ten years, noting that the last time he was around was following the death of Freddie Gray, which was quickly politicized.
