Let's STOP the Racism Talk! Please!

Can we PLEASE stop the incessant accusations of racism in our politics? There are very few true racists in this country (outside of politics, at least), and those that are left need to be pushed to the side and ignored. The continued reference to racism, which Democrats try to pin on almost every Republican motivation, only serves to create discord and to divide people. Not to mention I, for one, am so sick of hearing about it! America is not a racist place!

Very little burns me more than Democrats making Republicans out to be racist, when it is the Democrats, not Republicans, with a horrific racist history and, in my opinion, they still are a racist party (not every Democrat in national politics, but many).

This is a perfect illustration of why the biggest mistake conservatives have ever made was to allow liberals to take over public education and then higher education. The kids are taught that the Democrats have been the ever-loving, non-racist, tree-hugging party while the Republicans are bigoted and racist. This is pretty much the exact opposite of the truth.

Let’s go back to the Civil War, shall we? The most obvious fact is that President Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves. Ever since that (and before, but let’s focus on after the Civil War), the Democrats have fought tooth and nail against any and all laws to benefit black people.

Another obvious sign of the truth of the matter? When was the first black person voted in to Congress in Washington DC? It was Hiram Revels, Senator from Mississippi, and he was a Republican. He was elected in 1870, just five years after the end of the Civil War.

Oh, but the Democrats must have voted in a black person soon after, right? Nope. Twenty-two more black Republicans were elected to Congress before the first black Democrat congressman, Arthur Mitchell, was elected Representative from Illinois in 1935, SEVENTY years after the end of the Civil War. Hmm, wonder which party was racist there?

Democrats often accuse Republicans of supporting the KKK and reinstating Jim Crow policies. "Jim Crow 2.0", remember? Well who was behind Jim Crow 1.0? Republicans? Nope. Democrats. Who founded and promoted the KKK, Republicans? Nope. Democrats again. And which party fought with all they had against the civil rights movement and the laws that were passed as a result? You got it! Democrats!

Democrats only finally claimed non-racist status after their fight against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 failed, and the measure passed, ensuring the right of blacks to vote without any hindrance or restrictions. President Johnson then famously quipped “Don’t worry about it. We’ll have those [n-words] voting Democrat for the next 50 years”. Sweet guy, Johnson.

Then, Democrat policy proceeded in ruining the progress black Americans had made since the Civil War, tearing down the black family and convincing them that the Democrats would be their saviors. Sadly, many fell for their lies and succumbed to the fate the Democrats had designed for them. Democrats wanted them as uneducated as possible, in the lowest jobs possible, and to keep them in the worst neighborhoods in the big cities, all so that they would “need” Democrat so-called help.

They systematically destroyed the black family, convincing black women that the government could be their child's Daddy, no need for a father. This single statistic; over 70% of black children without a father in the home, has done the most damage to black Americans of all the demeaning, destructive things Democrat policies have done to them. Yet when candidate Barack Obama spoke publicly about the need for black fathers to step up and be responsible for their children, the party shushed him up quickly.

Obama's presidency, which could have been a catalyst to finally consign racism in America to the trash bin of history, was instead completely useless to black Americans (not to mention every other American). He sacrificed a potential gain for all Americans, black and white, for his personal and political power. He should be living in shame every day for what he failed to do. Apparently, we will need the first black Republican president to do what Obama would not.

As sad and disgusting as Democrat racism has been, it continues. Tonight I witnessed, on a news program, Representative (TX) Jasmine Crockett addressing an audience of supporters. This young black woman attended the most exclusive (and expensive) high school in the nation at $36k per year. She then attended law school, passed the bar, and formed a law firm prior to running for elected office. Pretty impressive, right?

Yet, as she spoke to her audience, she lapsed into “hood” speech. Both her word choices and her fake accent were meant to make her more “relatable” to black Americans. How demeaning is that? She thinks she has to talk like an idiot to appeal to black people. Not only demeaning, but blatantly racist. (Unsurprisingly, Crockett did a lot of pro-bono legal work for Black Lives Matter members. Black Lives Matter is nothing but a money making enterprise for the group’s leaders, who have done precisely ZERO for black Americans.) I don't know if she is unaware of the history of her party or what, but she may not want to throw around references to the KKK and Jim Crow too much, since they are both institutions instigated and promoted by Democrats. Might come back to bite her.

Crockett is one of the many Democrats, both black and white, who promote and perseverate racism in America. Now read this carefully:

 

THERE IS NO SYSTEMIC RACISM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 Period! 

Are there racist individuals? Of course! There always will be ignorant people who are best ignored. But Democrats are guilty of dragging out the nation’s long-past history of bigotry against black people. They NEED racism to run on! They need it to throw at Republicans. If they admitted that systemic racism died a long time ago, how would they get the black vote? 

As it is, many black Americans now understand the treachery of the Democrat party, and have switched to Independent or Republican. Democrats know the numbers well. If they lose the black vote, they lose, period. There are not enough non-black Americans who want to buy what they're selling.

I’m sorry if you are disillusioned by the racist history of the Democrat party, but the facts are the facts. And if we had a decent educational system in the country, more Americans would understand this set of facts. 

Democrats understand that victims will vote for those who claim to champion victims. Fortunately, many of our black brothers and sisters are tired of victimhood. They are choosing to turn their backs on the party that has destroyed their communities and tried to keep them “down” for their own political power.

Welcome to the Republican party, my black friends and neighbors! It’s about time.
