“Did you know that
the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK,
and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history?” -
The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic
Party, By Carol Swain, Professor of

WHAT HAS CAUSED
AFRO-RACISM
PREMISE
I’ve
decided to start this article with a question for my readers, and my first
question is – Which would be safest?
· A black person
walking at night in a white neighborhood?
· A white person walking
at night in a black neighborhood?
· There would be no
difference
The
most virulent form of racism in our nation is black attitudes toward white
people. How in the world did that happen? The purpose of this article is to
explain the history of this seldom talked about reality.
HISTORICAL RESEARCH
ON THE PRACTICE OF SLAVERY
I
am unaware of any culture or nation on Planet Earth that has not practiced
slavery. The initiation of the fight to end slavery on planet Earth was started
by the English Empire. England banished slavery in their own country including
the entire empire in 1833. Since the United States
was
not part of the British empire at the time, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation
Proclamation, declaring that all slaves in the rebellious states “shall be
then, thenceforward, and forever free.”
So, the thousands of years of the
world-wide practice of slavery was ended by white people in England and
America. Have you ever read about or
heard of a black leader thanking white people for ending slavery? And it isn’t
just that the leadership in England and America proclaimed and passed into law
that slavery was illegal, but it’s estimated that over 360,000 Union soldiers gave
their lives in the American civil war to insure the freedom of black people in
America — by far the greatest toll of any war in
American history. Many more Union soldiers lived but were
horribly maimed or have lost limbs.
I
would like to believe that the Northern veterans of the Civil War would often
hear black people say “Thank you for your service”, but I doubt that ever
happened. Wouldn’t it be nice for black people to simply say “Thank you for
ending slavery” rather than being full of hatred, calling white people names,
starting riots and supporting socialist politicians who promise free stuff.
I wrote this little essay to help
me clear up my own bewilderment about racial issues. I hope it will also be
useful to others.
My brow is furrowed, and I have
question marks colliding with each other in my brain. Oh, where to begin?
Research is always a good way to reduce the number of question marks!
SO LET’S START WITH SLAVERY
I think it is safe to say that
most people know white people did not start slavery. Slavery is an ancient
institution, as old as the human race. I suspect that every ethnic group on the
planet has, at one time or another, been enslaved or owned slaves.
The specific instance of
slavery experienced by some American blacks had its roots in black tribal
chieftains selling their own people to slave traders, or selling captured
prisoners of war. In fact, raiding another tribe to sell those who were
captured was a commonplace way for black chieftains to acquire wealth and power.
The slave traders were mostly
Arabs. The Arabian slave markets sold black slaves to white ship owners, who
then transported their “cargo” to those who used slave labor. Of all 1,515,605
families in the 15 slave states in the US in 1860, nearly 400,000 held slaves
(roughly one in four), amounting to 8% of all American families. So, at
the apex of slavery in the United States, only 8% of American families owned slaves,
and some of those slaves were owned by black Americans.
For example, a black man,
Andrew Durnford of New Orleans, was listed as owning over seventy slaves. According
to Rachel Kranz: "Durnford was known as a stern master who worked his
slaves hard and punished them often, in his efforts to make his Louisiana sugar
plantation a success.”
A large majority of
profit-oriented, free black slaveholders resided in the Lower South. For the
most part, they were persons of mixed racial origin, often women who cohabited
with or were mistresses of white or mulatto men. Provided land and slaves by
whites, they owned farms and plantations, worked their hands in the rice,
cotton, and sugar fields, and like their white contemporaries, were troubled
with runaways.
The historian Ira Berlin wrote: “In
slave societies, nearly everyone – free and slave – aspired to enter the
slaveholding class, and upon occasion some former slaves rose into
slaveholders’ ranks. Their acceptance was grudging, as they carried the stigma
of bondage in their lineage and, in the case of American slavery, color in
their skin.” Free blacks were perceived “as a continual, symbolic threat
to slaveholders, challenging the idea that ‘black’ and ‘slave’ were
synonymous.” Free blacks were seen as potential allies of fugitive slaves, and
“slaveholders bore witness to their fear and loathing of free blacks in no
uncertain terms." For free blacks, who had only a
precarious hold on freedom, “slave ownership was not simply an economic
convenience but indispensable evidence of the free blacks' determination to
break with their slave past, and their silent acceptance – if not approval – of
slavery.”
The historian James
Oakes in 1982 notes that, “The evidence is overwhelming that the
vast majority of black slaveholders were free men who purchased members of
their families or who acted out of benevolence.” After 1810,
southern states made it increasingly difficult for any slaveholders to free
slaves. Often the purchasers of family members were left with no choice but to
maintain, on paper, the owner-slave relationship. In the 1850s “there were
increasing efforts to restrict the right to hold bondsmen, on the grounds that
slaves should be kept ‘as far as possible under the control of white men only.”
In his 1985 statewide study of
black slaveholders in South Carolina, Larry Koger challenged the
benevolent view. He found that the majority of black slaveholders appeared to
hold slaves as a commercial decision. For instance, he noted that in 1850 more
than 80% of black slaveholders were of mixed race, but nearly 90% of their
slaves were classified as black. He also noted that a number of
small artisans in Charleston held slaves to help with their businesses. Another
example of the benevolent view of slavery is that many people, black and white
as well, sold themselves into slavery.
Why? Because not being a slave
was dangerous, they were hungry and homeless. For some people, both blacks and
whites, slavery was preferable to danger, starvation and homelessness.
Robert M. Grooms, in "The
Johnson Family: African-American
Owners of White and black Slaves," has revealed the fact
that blacks owned white slaves in America. He also notes that a legal precedent
for life-long slavery in America was established by a black slave owner with
regard to one of his black slaves.
WHERE IS THE “THANK YOU” FOR
ENDING SLAVERY?
The initial motive for the
Civil War was to preserve the Union, but that soon proved to be an inadequate
motivator. Freeing the slaves became the more noble reason for war.
A strong Christian influence was working toward ending slavery, and the
abolitionist movement was gaining political power.
Even though white people ended
slavery, and only 8% of Americans owned slaves, and they were all in the South,
and some of those slave owners were black and some people saw slavery as a
solution to their own desperate circumstances, yet modern black leaders and
many leftist politicians continue to blame all white people for slavery. My ancestors were Christian abolitionist. We
lived in the Northern state of Iowa and yet black people in my home town blame
most white people for slavery and overtly or secretly hate them.
The first
national Anti-Slavery Convention was held in New York City in 1837. The following year the second Anti-Slavery Convention
of American Women convened in Philadelphia and was met with pro-slavery riots.
The Liberty Party, a political action group, held its first national convention
in Albany, N.Y. in 1839. That same year, Africans mutinied aboard the Spanish
slave ship Amistad, and asked New York courts to grant them freedom. Their plea
was answered affirmatively by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1841. Had this slave
ship been hijacked in Charleston, the men on board would not have achieved
freedom.
After the first year of the
Civil War there was a consensus that the goal of the war was to free the
slaves. Slavery is an evil as old as humanity,
and has been practiced by all races. So why do modern day
blacks blame the entire white race for slavery, when all races have
participated in slavery, and in fact it was white Americans who stopped
slavery?
In the American Civil War that
ended slavery hundreds of thousands of men served in the Union Army, and over 500,000
Union soldiers were killed, wounded or captured. Do black Americans
have a special day set aside to show their gratitude for the sacrifice made on
their behalf by these men? Why not?
The "Righteous
Among the Nations" ("Righteous Gentiles") helped to save Jews from
the horrors of the Holocaust, often at great risk to their personal safety and
that of their families. The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum
currently recognizes with gratitude the 24,811
gentile saviors -- who rescued them from oppression. Black recognition for
white people ending slavery? A big fat ZERO!
So, black chieftains sold black
slaves to Arabs. Arabs sold those slaves to slave traders. Slavery was a fact
of life. Even free black Americans owned black slaves. Black Africans and Arabs
made slavery possible. White Americans stopped slavery. Where is the
gratitude on the part of blacks toward white abolitionists?
So, in summary, white people
had a small part in supporting slavery in America. White people had a very
large part in ending slavery. Blacks have not expressed their gratitude
to white people!
CIVIL RIGHTS SEGREGATION AND
DISCRIMINATION
So, Republicans and Union
Soldiers fought for the freedom of black people. The 14th Amendment to
the US Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, during
the Recon-struction era. It, along
with the 13th and 15thAmendments, are
collectively known as the Reconstruction amendments. Its broad goal was to
ensure that the Civil Rights Act
passed in 1866, would remain valid, ensuring that "all persons born in the
United States... were citizens, and were to be given full and equal benefit of
all laws." That legislation was initiated, supported and voted for by
Republicans,
despite the resistance of Democrats.
After the Civil War it became
possible for blacks to vote in the south. This was made possible by the passage
of the Reconstruction Acts by Congress. Five states had a majority black
population: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. Prior
to the Reconstruction Acts, which were given more support by the 14th and
15th Amendments to the Constitution, there were 627,000 white
voters in the south, and no black voters. After blacks gained the right to
vote, and there were 703,000 who did so, it became possible for blacks to hold
office on a local and statewide basis.
All the early black Congressmen
(and Senators) were members of the Republican Party. This is because the
Republicans, exemplified by President Abraham Lincoln, were the Party in office
during the Civil War, and most abolitionists belonged to the Republican Party.
The Democrats were opposed to all attempts to banish slavery.
Thirteen of the twenty-two
blacks elected to Congress during Reconstruction were ex-slaves. All were
self-taught or family trained. There were seven lawyers, three ministers, one
banker, one publisher, two school teachers, and three college presidents. Eight
had experience in state assemblies and senates. There were problems, however,
as five of the first twenty blacks elected to the House were denied their
seats, and ten others had their terms interrupted or delayed. Claims of voter
fraud were the most common ploy used by Democrats to deny an elected black
person his seat.
In 1869 James Lewis, John
Willis Menard, and Pinckney B.S. Pinchback — all of Louisiana — were elected
and never seated. In 1870 Joseph H. Rainey of South Carolina was the first
black to be seated in the House. He ran for reelection in 1872, won, and in
1874 his reelection was challenged by Democrats. He was seated several months
later, after the House, initiated by Republicans, voted to seat him, over the
resistance of the Democrats. He won again in 1876, and was again challenged. He
was seated, and after eighteen months, the investigating committee recommended
his seat be declared vacant. The full House of Representatives however, did not
vote on the matter, and referred it back to committee.
Other blacks who were elected
to the House and seated, often had very rocky tenures. Only a few did not have
to face hostile, organized opposition within Congress by the Democrats.
During Reconstruction, southern
Democrats suddenly found themselves looking at former slaves not only eyeball
to eyeball, but as equals before the law, and in the ability of the freed
slaves to obtain elected office. Many Southern Democrats never ceased trying to
"turn back the clock" so to speak.
Through the imposition of
"Black Codes," laws designed to limit black participation in all areas
of life, the establishment of sanctioned violence and "control" on
the local level by the Democratic membership of the Ku Klux Klan, and the
active and passive aid — via passing legislation and refusing to act when
called upon in certain circumstances — the Democrats were eventually successful
in bringing about the end of Reconstruction. In Reconstruction's place
Segregation was instituted in the South and voting rights for blacks ceased.
Thus, toward the end of the 19th Century, it became virtually
impossible for blacks in the south to be elected to any office. This reality
did not alter until the mid-1960s.
Blacks mostly
voted Republican from after the Civil War through the early part of the 20th
century. That’s not surprising, when one considers that Abraham Lincoln was the
first Republican president, and the white, Segregationist politicians who
governed Southern states in those days were Democrats. The Democratic Party
didn’t welcome blacks then, and it wasn’t until 1924 that blacks were even permitted
to attend Democratic conventions in any official capacity. Most blacks lived in
the South, where they were mostly prevented from voting at all.
FORTUNATELY, NOT ALL DEMOCRATS
WERE FROM THE SOUTH
Republicans joined forces with
northern Democrats, and Civil Rights volunteers. Several important factors
contributed to the paradigm shift toward eliminating discrimination and
establishing Civil Rights for blacks in America.
Work is a virtue with significant value
beyond a pay check. The Work Projects Administration (WPA) was
the largest and most ambitious American New Deal Agency, employing millions of
unemployed people (mostly unskilled men) to carry out public works projects,
including the construction of public buildings and roads. Black workers were
well represented in the WPA crews. About 10% of WPA workers were black, which
was about the same percentage as the blacks in the general population
The election of Roosevelt in 1932 marked the beginning of a
change. He got 71 percent of the black vote for president in 1936, and did
nearly that well in the next two elections. But even then, the number of blacks
identifying themselves as Republicans was about the same as the number who
thought of themselves as Democrats.
The Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name of a group
of African-American military fighter and bomber pilots who
fought in World War II. These men also had a significant influence
in establishing the equality of black people. In July of 1944 the Tuskegee Pilots received
the North American P-51 Mustang, the
most agile Warbird of World War II. They really distinguished themselves, and
became American heroes. It became very difficult to think of a college educated
black man who was an officer in the U. S. Military, and the hero pilot of a
“Mustang” protecting our bomber crew, as “just some stupid Nigger.”
In early 1948, Harry Truman issued an order desegregating the
armed services and an executive order setting up regulations against racial
bias in federal employment. Truman garnered 77 percent of the Black vote in
1948 and for the first time the majority of Blacks reported that they thought
of themselves as Democrats.
PROGRESS AND PROTESTS
In the early 1950s, once again
racist Democrats tried to block civil rights. In 1954, the Supreme Court
ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education that
racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. Many southern
political leaders claimed the desegregation decision violated the rights of
states to manage their systems of public education, and they responded with
defiance, legal challenges, delays, or token compliance. As a result, school
desegregation proceeded very slowly. By the 1960s, less than 10 percent of
Black children in the South were attending integrated schools. At that time in
the political history of America, the politics of the Southern states was known
as “the Solid South” by Democratic leadership.
The voting laws, overt
discrimination policies and the activities of the KKK ensured that Democrats
always won elections in the southern part of the United States.
Guard troops under orders from
Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower were the first Federal troops used to
enforce Civil Rights. But, even after the Republican-lead federal
intervention of Little Rock, school integration was painfully slow, and
segregation in general remained largely untouched in the Democratic controlled
South.
In February 1960, four Black
college students sat down at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C.,
and asked to be served. They were refused service, and they refused to leave
their seats. Within days, more than 50 students had volunteered to continue the
sit-in, and within weeks the movement had spread to other college campuses. Sit‑ins
and other protests swept across the South in early 1960, touching more than 65
cities in 12 Democratic dominated Southern states. Roughly 50,000 young people
joined the protests that year.
Across the nation, more than 70
percent of African Americans voted for Kennedy, and these votes provided the
winning edge in several key states. When President Kennedy took office in
January 1961, African Americans had high expectations for the new
administration.
But Kennedy's narrow election
victory and small working margin in Congress left him cautious. He was
reluctant to lose southern support for legislation on many fronts by pushing
too hard on civil rights legislation. Instead, he appointed unprecedented
numbers of African Americans to high-level positions in the administration and
strengthened the Civil Rights Commission. He spoke out in favor of school
desegregation, praised a number of cities for integrating their schools, and
put Vice President Lyndon Johnson in charge of the President's Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity. Attorney General Robert Kennedy turned his
attention to voting rights, initiating five times the number of suits brought
during the previous administration.
In the fall of 1962 the
comprehensive civil rights bill cleared several hurdles in Congress and won the
endorsement of House and Senate Republican leaders. It was not passed, however,
before November 22, 1963, when President Kennedy was assassinated. However,
with the support of Republicans and northern Democrats, the Civil Rights agenda
continued to progress. Southern Democratic members
of the House and Senate were
vehemently against such an act. Republican Congressmen and
Senators prevailed and in February of 1964, the House of Representatives passed the Civil Rights Act
by a vote of 290-130. The Senate vote was 73-27. President Johnson signed the bill into law on July 2, 1964.
The take away
from the Civil Rights story is that white northern Democrats and Republican
leadership led the way for Blacks to achieve legal equality. The so
called “solid South” part of the Democratic Party remained openly racist and
used ignoble tactics to continue the oppression of Black people.
So, why in the
world do Black voters consistently vote Democratic? Why are Black people
so angry with white people?
Just like the issue of slavery,
once again there is a wide spread racist hate directed at most white people
when it was the majority of white people who worked to create the legal
foundation for Civil Rights in America
Where are the monuments erected by Black people to honor the white fallen soldiers from the Civil War? Where are the brass plaques for the white Civil Rights martyrs such as James Reeb, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner who gave their lives to the cause of Black equality? Between 75,000 and 95,000 white people joined the swelling crowd at Lincoln Memorial when MLK gave his famous "dream" speech. Why no mention of them?
And
what do you think would happen if it was revealed that Dr. Martin Luther King was
a Republican? What do you think would
happen if he had followed the decades old tradition of Republican support for
black civil rights by being revealed as a member of the Republican party?
Why
Martin Luther King Was Republican
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans.
Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the
Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one
pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the
party of the four S’s: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.

Colonel, a lawyer and chairman of the National Black Republican Association

THE NEW FACE OF
SLAVERY
Shortly
after the Civil Rights movement victories, since the Democrats could no longer
intimidate black voters, they began passing laws to help “poor people,” by
providing subsidies for food, clothing, and shelter in order to attract more
black voters. Democrats don’t really
care about the welfare of black people, they are simply trying to bribe them
into voting for Democrats.
As a
part of the Great Society,
President Lyndon B Johnson believed in expanding the federal government's roles
in “helping” black people. Here are some of those programs:
Medicaid Grants to States
Food Stamps (SNAP)
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
Housing assistance
Child Nutrition Program (CHIP)
Support Payments to States,
TANF
Feeding Programs (WIC &
CSFP)
Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Food Stamp Act of 1964
The Economic Opportunity Act of
1964 which created the Community Action Program, Job
Corps, and Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), centerpiece of
the "war on poverty" – August 20, 1964
Elementary and Secondary
Education Act - April 11, 1965
Fifty years and $20 trillion later, LBJ's
goal to help the poor become self-supporting has failed.
Or, maybe
it accomplished exactly what the racist Democrats wanted in the first place. Unfortunately,
blacks became subservient and dependent, rather than free. The Democrats
re-enslaved black people with handouts. Black Americans sold their hard won
freedom for food stamps and housing subsidies, just as Esau sold his birthright
for a bowl of pottage. This biblical example about Esau sees “pottage” as something immediately attractive,
but of little value, taken foolishly and carelessly, in exchange for something
more distant and perhaps less tangible, but immensely more valuable. The phrase
alludes to Esau's sale
of his birthright for a
meal of lentil
stew ("pottage")
in Genesis
25:29–34 and connotes shortsightedness
and misplaced priorities.
THIS IS THE PREMISE THE LIBERALS SUPPORT:
THIS IS THE PREMISE THE LIBERALS SUPPORT:
Democratic voters declare that property
belonging to citizen "A" be confiscated by the government, and given
to Citizen "B," or maybe even to a non-citizen. That is fundamentally
wrong! Anyone who cannot see the violation of morality in that scenario has a
corrupt soul.
Also, “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can
always depend on the support of Paul.” George Bernard Shaw
So liberals steal from some citizens, to buy votes from other
citizens. This behavior is just plain evil!
So now blacks vote overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates.
Of course, it would have been dramatically more effective and
much less expensive to ensure that blacks were fully equal and fully
participating in our society. But that obvious solution did not fit the desires
of southern Democratic politicians. These racists do not want black people to
be free! They want black people to be beholden to Democrats. And in modern
times, the political tactics of liberal Democrats have replaced those of the
group of southern Democrats, and now almost all Democrats are involved in
oppressing black people by encouraging their dependency.
"The
only thing you can give a man without hurting him is an opportunity."Henry
Ford
A biography of
Lyndon B Johnson reports this quotation from 1964 which illustrates how
Liberals and old school Democrats see the their victory in the war on poverty, “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 those niggers
voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” —Lyndon B Johnson to
two Southern governors on Air Force One.
Johnson’s and
Obama’s “wars on poverty” are frauds to keep people poor and dependent on the
federal government. By keeping blacks dependent on them, the Democrats “own”
blacks, and keep them doing their bidding, their work. This is the modern face
of slavery, slavery being something the Democratic party has always owned and
has no intention of giving up.
In the mad dash to vilify the Republicans and Conservatives today many have forgotten the fact that it was the
Republican Party that was the champion of Civil Rights and freedom for African
Americans. Today that story goes either untold or when it is told, those that
do so are immediately under attack, and accused of being a racist. Many today
would like you to believe that just because Conservatives would rather assist
in moving people off the rolls of welfare or any number of assistance programs,
they do not care about those that have been conditioned to be dependent on
those programs, and that is one of the most fatal mistakes that Progressives
make. Conservatives understand that people need assistance, but they also
understand that it cannot become a lifestyle that is passed down from
generation to generation.
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO
PEOPLE ENSLAVED IN A SOCIETY OF DEPENDENCY?
We need to
begin accepting that there is an underclass of people who are racist, criminal,
use more than they produce, feed at the public trough, produce fatherless
children, see themselves as victims, use dangerous drugs, promote prostitution,
whose speech is full of vulgarities and reeks of ignorance, and who hate white
Americans. These problems were all caused by Democrat’s policies. Gee, who
could that class of people be? Do we have a name for them? Or is the name
unspeakable?
Quote from a psychology
professor I once had; “People are not who you think they are. People are not
who they think they are. People are what they do. That is why this is called
the behavioral science." Forget the labels; they are all misleading. By
paying attention to, and describing these people, regardless of their color,
according to their behavior, all the racist politics dissolve into the
nothingness from which they came. The word "racist" was invented by
Democrats to buy votes. The social pathology I describe below is not specific
to any particular race, and could happen to any ethnic group.
NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE
“If you portray yourself as a victim
you will never be seen as an equal”- Seneca,
Roman Stoic Philosopher
· If you
participate in criminal behavior you are a criminal, and you don’t deserve to
be treated as an equal with law abiding citizens.
· If your
demographic group commits more crime than other demographic groups you will be
looked upon with suspicion, even if you personally are not a criminal.
· Children
raised by married parents have substantially better life outcomes compared with
similar children raised in single-parent homes.
· The
overwhelming majority of welfare assistance to families with children goes to
single-parent households. If your culture elects politicians who develop
welfare programs which discourage fathers from living with their families,
creating a large percentage of “fatherless” homes, that makes your voting
habits sick and does not deserve equality.
· If your
demographic group has a large number of dysfunctional families, your children
will not be well adjusted nor do well in school or the workplace.
· If your
demographic group has a high drop-out rate for high school, you are not the
equal of educated people.
· If you
cannot properly read, write, and speak the language of your country, do not
expect equal treatment when you apply for a job or interact with those who are
fluent with the primary language.
· If you
use more than you produce or accept handouts, you are of no value to your
society, and cannot expect to be treated as an equal.
· If your
demographic group makes up 12% of the population and accounts for 49% of all
homicides, and if 93% of those murders are committed by other people in your
own demographic group, your group is pathologically violent and should not be
seen as equal to other less violent groups.
· If your
demographic group abuses illegal drugs and abuses alcohol you will not be the
equal of sober, responsible people.
· If you
behave hatefully toward other demographic groups, you will not be respected.
· If it
is safer to be in the military than in your neighborhood, enlist now. If you
get through boot camp you will be treated as an equal.
· If you
are blaming other people for your dysfunctional behavior, you have serious
psychological problems, and don’t deserve to be treated as an equal.
Equality doesn’t come to you
because of your color or heritage, no matter what it is. Laws cannot bestow
equality, no matter how much politicians will lie to you to get your vote. You
will be respected because of your behavior. You will be equal when your
behavior is equal to other people in the nation.
There are dozens of additional
demographic studies that have been cited above, but which make the same point.
Don’t blame your color for your lack of equality. Blame your own behavior; or
the people for whom you vote.
Yourself
To Blame by Mayme White Miller
If
things go bad for you
And make you a bit ashamed
Often you will find out that
You have yourself to blame
And make you a bit ashamed
Often you will find out that
You have yourself to blame
Swiftly
we ran to mischief
And then the bad luck came
Why do we fault others?
We have ourselves to blame
And then the bad luck came
Why do we fault others?
We have ourselves to blame
Whatever
happens to us,
Here is what we say
“Had it not been for so-and-so
Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”
Here is what we say
“Had it not been for so-and-so
Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”
And if
you are short of friends,
I’ll tell you what to do
Make an examination,
You’ll find the faults in you…
I’ll tell you what to do

You’re
the captain of your ship,
So agree with the same
If you travel downward
You have yourself to blame

If you travel downward
You have yourself to blame
THERE IS A SOLUTION
The good news is that there is
a way out. You do have equal opportunity. Change your behavior, and you will
leave your demographic group behind, and become an equal.
You may be right that "simple
will power" is not adequate to reverse decades of social pathology in your
culture, but I do know that validating pathology and subsidizing it through
welfare will prevent any tactic from being efficacious. The sub-culture we are
discussing is sick to its core.
However, the solution is
available within this very same demographic group. Not everybody is sick. One
of the most valuable areas of research for epidemiologists is studying those
who don't get sick. How are the functional people in this
demographic group behaving? Mostly they succeed because of hard work, good
values, a two-parent home and responsible living. And that is a universal
recipe for success, and is not confined to any demographic group. These are
nongovernmental solutions that can heal a sick society. Blaming the pathology
on other people is not a solution. Blaming the pathology on history is not a
solution.
PERSONAL VICTORY DESPITE PATHOLOGICAL INFLUENCES
There are no government
solutions. There isn’t a “program” that will rescue you! Need an example? The
Washington Post report notes that Dr. Ben Carson’s mother, Sonya, had a big
influence in the life of a “screw-up kid with a temper” who later went on to
become a world famous neurosurgeon and ultimately an outspoken, Conservative
critic of many of President Obama’s policies, especially ObamaCare.
“Sonya
had 24 siblings and was married at age 13. When she found out that her husband,
Ben’s father, had a second family, they divorced. Unable to read, Sonya
encouraged her kids to stop watching television and read two books per
week.” Sonya Carson's life motto is: "Learn to do your best and God
will do the rest." Thank you,
Sonya! That is the solution.
EVIDENCE OF DANGEROUS
DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION
This
article has provided ample evidence that the primary interest of the Democratic
party has been more harmful to black Americans than the entire history of
slavery. And yet, through deception and paltry bribery through “entitlements”,
black people still overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. Hopefully, this article will help dismantle
this paradigm.
If
the leadership of the Democratic party were overtly foreign agents deliberately
trying to destroy America, they would have hardly been less harmful than their
function as a recognized political party in the United States of America. Since
the founding of our nation, the Dem have significantly damaged the black race
by supporting slavery and anti-black policies even after the Republican-led anti-slavery
and pro-civil rights movement.
The
more alarming danger of the Democratic party to America is that all Americans are
now being powerfully damaged by the Democratic party. The Democrats have gone
from being misguided, overemotional idealists to being overtly,
unapologetically evil and nasty.
This
dramatic shift in the motives and values of the Democratic party can be directly
influenced by Saul Alinsky, who began influencing the left wing of the Democratic
party in Chicago. He gained notoriety as a community organizer in the 1960s and
his most influential book, “Rules for Radicals”, was published in 1971.
“The radical community
organizer, gone now these 40 years, is the specter on which Barack Obama has modeled his life”, Mr. Newt Gingrich
warns. “It’s no coincidence”, he says, “that both Alinsky and Mr. Obama are
from Chicago.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton was also a disciple of Saul Alinsky. In
1969, while a political science major at Wellesley
College, she chose
to write her senior thesis on
Alinsky's work, with Alinsky himself contributing his own time to help her.
Rodham defended Alinsky's intentions in her thesis. (Years later when she
became First Lady, based
upon a White House request, the school did not make the thesis publicly
available because they knew her connection to Alinsky would damage the
political party.) Later on, her husband, President Bill Clinton, was less influenced
by Alinsky’s radical socialist agenda, other than listening to his wife.
Hillary and Obama were disciples of the man
who in his book makes it clear that he admired the goals of Satan. Many other
Democratic leaders were disciples of the evil motives and radical anti-American
objectives of Alinsky, who wrote, “The first
radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so
effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer.”
Former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson gave a speech before
the Republican National Convention in which he said that “Rules for Radicals” author Saul Alinsky, who he said is “greatly
admired” by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, “even though he acknowledged
Lucifer on the dedication page of the book”
In the 2012 Democratic National Convention, the
collective Democrats in attendance booed the mention of God and overwhelmed the
attempt to introduce God into a prayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUJE9YfsbNQ
I do not personally believe in the
existence of Satan as an evil, supernatural being. I see the evil effects of what
people call Satan as a result of the absence of the benevolent influence of
God. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”
– Edmund Burke. Apathy invites evil into our world. Evil entropy will prevail
if divine energy does not counter it. There is no way that evil behavior could
be motivated by God so it is understandable that some people might say that the
Democratic party is motivated by Satan. Certainly, the behavior of the Democratic
party cannot be attributed to divine influence.
Here are Alinsky’s “Rules For
Radicals”:
"Power
is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never
go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever
possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make
the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule
is man's most potent weapon."
"A
good tactic is one your people enjoy."
"A
tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
"Keep
the pressure on,"
"The
threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
"The
major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a
constant pressure upon the opposition."
"If
you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its
counterside"
"The
price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize
it."
That sounds more like advice that is inspired by something other
than God.
In the decades after Alinsky, the liberal Democrats set
themselves the goal of damaging American institutions, traditions, the rules of
law and values.
This certainly cannot be defended by the conclusion that all
Democrats are evil. Many of them are still misguided idealists. These
uninformed supporters of the Democratic party are referred to by the leaders of
their party as “useful idiots.” In political jargon, a useful
idiot (also useful fool) is a derogatory term for a person
perceived as a supporter for a cause, the goals of which they are not
fully aware, and who is used cynically by the leaders of the cause. The
term was originally used to describe non-Communists regarded as susceptible to
Communist propaganda and manipulation.
Concluding comment: This is a nation where our founding document,
the Declaration of Independence, talks about certain inalienable rights that
come from our creator, a nation where our Pledge of Allegiance says we are “One
nation under God.” This is a nation where every coin in our pockets and every
bill in our wallets say, “In God We Trust.” The Democratic party has
transformed itself into an anti-American political movement.
