Democrats - The Party of the KKK...
The Washington Times ^ | September 29, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

Ben Carson is hoping to awaken black voters to his campaign with a message of economic empowerment, saying the black community has been done a disservice by heeding political power overtures from Democrats.

Speaking to a small group of black leaders and activists last week, the retired neurosurgeon, who is surging in polling in the Republican presidential race, said he believes black Americans bring more power through the size of their bank account than by putting their “fist in the air.”

Later in the article: “The Democrat Party, of course, is the party of the KKK. Of Jim Crow laws. And perhaps just as bad right now, of servitude. ‘Now you do this, and we’ll take care of you, pat you on the head, take care of all your needs.’ Which keeps people believing that’s what they actually need,” Mr. Carson told the small group.

and they will keep them enslaved to Dhimmicrap politicians for as long as they can

I think blacks are perfectly good judges of what's in their interest.

A virtually unlimited supply of middle-class jobs, trillions of dollars in transfer payments, a virtually separate judicial system under the control of their chosen leaders in certain areas - why would anybody in their right mind give that up?

Remember that the father of modern progressivism (at least one of them) is Woddrow Wilson, a virulent racist who resegregated the Federal bureaucracy (after a Republican had desegregated it.) Wilson may be the most virulent racist ever to occupy the White House. (Lyndon Johnson could give him a run for his money.)

Oh, did I mention that President Wilson was a Democrat?

There are no middle-class jobs coming to them from Dhimmicraps. The idea is to keep them all dependent. Jobs undermine that.

The “progressives” need a permanent and ever-expanding underclass to keep themselves in power, and they will use whatever means are necessary to ensure that.

Wilson’s presidency saw the end of the Founder’s America, but Wilson was hardly a founder of progressivism. Wilson was in poor health and still mostly a student when the progressive movement was sweeping the country and reforms were enacted.

Wilson was one of the early “progressive” presidents, and was extremely influential in establishing the modern direction of the progressive movement. And he was a virulent racist, infusing that into the movement.

> Except that the "progressives", who need a permanent and ever-expanding underclass and who regard minorities as their property, will not allow the minorities -- blacks especially -- to receive a decent education so that they can make a wise, informed decision about what's in their best interests.

After all, ignorant people are easier to manipulate.

I forget who pointed out that “Not all democrates are segregationists, but all segregationists are democrates.”

And how are they preventing that?

Education is not something you "receive", like penicillin - it's something you DO.

People all over the world get their education under conditions vastly worse than those that exist in American public schools.

The Progressive Era is usually dated 1890-1920, although it was well underway in the 1880s.

By keeping them in inferior schools, denying tehm choice, denying tehm the means to choose a better school, either by increasing wealth or bvy vouchers, tax credits, or any other means.

They see what happens when poor kids get a chance. You get a Clarence Thomas or a Ben Carson. And they know that good schools are a good part of that — so they’re making certain to keep minority schools inferior, rotting, and worthless, and to make certain that few, if any, have any choice but to use those schools.

A few will overcome that situation and rise anyway, but most won’t — and our progressive friends know it. That’s the outcome they want.

Why are those schools inferior?
