The great Thomas Sowell opined, “The fact that so many
successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on
them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the
impossible, only liars can satisfy.” I am reminded of Sowell’s statement
whenever I contemplate the irony of today’s Democratic Party advocating for the
voting rights of black Americans.
White Democrats are not seeking voting rights
to empower black Americans. They strive to maintain power for themselves,
consistently exploiting black Americans toward that end.
It is an indisputable historical fact that the 1965
Voting Rights Act was necessary because the Democratic Party systematically
stole elections for over 100 years. It is also a historical fact that in a
100-year reign of terror, Democrats used bribery, intimidation, torture, and
murder against black Americans and poor whites to illegally maintain
power.
White Democrat shamelessness and the treachery of what I
call “The
Iron Triangle” (most black politicians, black preachers,
and black civic organizers) are on full display, when you come to realize that
the same Democratic Party that burned black churches because they conducted
meetings educating African Americans about their right to vote, now organize in
black churches to deliver the vote for themselves. The same
Democratic Party that whipped, murdered, and castrated black men because
they attempted to vote or because they were Republican now uses street
money to bribe and to deliver these black men to the polls because they are
their most reliable voters.
The same Democratic Party that claims to be the black
community’s benevolent savior has brought nothing to the ghettos they
control but poverty, crime, mass incarceration, illiteracy, and death. The
same Democratic Party that has been the most perpetually evil organization
against black Americans on the face of the earth since its inception in 1800,
now utilizes the black vote as the catalyst to remain the absolute master of
black America.
What happened? Before the1965 Voting Rights Act,
Democrats were beneficiaries of one the most preeminent surprises in history.
The African Americans who suffered under their oppression for over 400 years identified
entirely with their oppressor and voted over 80 percent for their Democratic
Party masters. Suppose hate-filled white racist Democrats had been paying
attention to the habits of black Americans rather than beating and killing them
for sport. In that case, they may have noticed that most black Southerners
loved them and therefore would never have voted against them. Black
Southerners risked their lives to eat beside, go to school with, drink water
with, and go to the bathroom with racist white Democrats who told them by word
and deed that they hated them. Of course, if given the right to vote, black
Southerners would vote for them.
Understandably, white Democrats believed that no sane
black American would vote for them given their 400 years of sadistic
mistreatment. Consequently, white Democrats did everything they could to block
legislation that would give the federal government authority guaranteeing
voting rights for Southern black Americans.
In his book Parting
the Waters, Taylor Branch describes how Martin
Luther King, Jr., told Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice
President Richard Nixon that he and his father were Republicans and believed
that most of the black people voting in the South would vote the Republican
ticket if they could get voting rights legislation passed. Eisenhower and Nixon
delivered, passing the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts. Imagine their
surprise when the black community voted 80 percent for the party of their
oppressor in the election of 1960, catapulting voting rights opponents John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson into the White House.
This unwavering black love for their white
Democrat masters has been a well-known phenomenon for centuries. Acknowledging
this mysterious power in the inability to entice enslaved people to free
themselves, Abraham Lincoln said in his Cooper Union Speech in 1858, “Much
is said by Southern people about the affection of slaves for their masters and
mistresses . . . A plot for an uprising could scarcely be devised and
communicated to twenty individuals before someone of them to save the life of a
favorite master or mistress divulge it.”
Bearing this statement in mind explains the mindset of
most southern black Americans in the 1960s when they were finally free to vote but
refused to start an alternative party to the Democrats. They held majorities
in three Southern states and many counties and cities. Instead of making a real
difference, however, they succumbed to their Stockholm Syndrome and joined
the party of their oppressor, the white Democrats. Some black Democrats
were so prolific in their treason white Democrats even allowed them to win
political office as Democrats.
This new invention, “The Southern Black Democrat,” then
set about organizing and corralling the black votes by oppressing their
community for the benefit of their white masters. Jim Clyburn, a 30-year black
Democrat congressman in one of the poorest districts in the nation, organized
the black vote for Joe Biden in the South Carolina primary. Clyburn’s efforts
in corralling black votes for Biden, a known racist, cementing the Democratic
Party nomination for the presidency, is a modern-day example of this black
Democrat “House Negro” mentality in which betraying one’s own people for his
white Democrat master is called virtuous.
This black support has now become traditional in the
black ghettos, with cognitive dissonance and tribalism overtaking Stockholm
Syndrome as the mental affliction that keeps the African American shackled to
an oppressive Democratic Party. The Iron Triangle are the black collaborators
who benefit enormously from this mental stress.
Why did Republicans allow the Democrats to keep this
monopoly in the South? Democrats murdered Republicans and lied to black
Americans. Speaking of heinous devices contrived by this evil monopoly to
manipulate the slave into voluntarily accepting enslavement, in 1858, again
during his Cooper Union speech, Abraham Lincoln spoke of Democrat lies to
black slaves regarding Republicans. He said, “The slaves would scarcely know
there is a Republican party . . . but for your misrepresentations of us, in
their hearing.”
These misrepresentations still exist. By 1960 the
Republican Party in the South did not exist. This lack of political
competition is fatal in a representative republic. With the assistance of black
traitors, white Democrats have always maintained this political monopoly
exclusively in the black community and nowhere else. This lack of
competition in the black community was the foundation of white Democratic Party
power during the era of black slavery in the past and it is the basis of black
slavery in the present.
This mental hold white Democrats have consistently held
over impoverished and oppressed black people is a sad phenomenon. Like an
addict advocating for his pusher, these mistreated American citizens now
march in the streets, advocating for a voting rights bill that will guarantee
their masters’ ability to oppress them in perpetuity.
The worsening poverty, crime, fatherlessness, illiteracy,
incarceration, envy, and unforgiveness plaguing the black American community
since the civil rights movement is all the proof needed that the Democratic
Party has been and still is an oppressive regime. It is also proof that
when it comes to voting, Democratic interest in the black community is purely
exploitative in the sense that black Democrats will be debased, and the white
Democratic masters will be exalted. This is nothing new. It has always been
thus.
If we want to talk about “wokeness,” let’s hope that the
black community finally wakes up to the fact that because God gave
us all free will, slavery is a choice, and if you choose to be unquestionably
devoted to any political party you have chosen to be a slave. Wake up to that
fact; refuse to be a puppet for people who obviously hold you in contempt. Shun
the slavery of party politics. Have the courage to vote your values. And choose
to be happy and live as a free American.
