There are only two groups in the U.S. that are demonstrably
better off than they were a decade ago. The
first of these are the big bankers and Wall Street elites who are doing quite
well, thanks to the billions that the Fed pumps into their coffers every month. The other is downtrodden people who came here
from impoverished nations. In their case,
there is nowhere to go but up.
Since the outset of the Obama administration conditions
for just about everyone else have deteriorated.
This is particularly disappointing for the African American community
which has been especially
hard hit.
The question is: do the Democrats even care?
The plain facts are that by mid-century people
of Hispanic origin will comprise
nearly 30% of the U.S. population while the African American percentage
will remain constant at 13%.
Catering to the Wall Street billionaires assures
Democrats of ample streams of money. By
catering to Hispanics, they schmooze a voting bloc that will dwarf African
Americans.
Although Democrats talk tough when it comes to
income inequality, they eagerly reward wealthy supporters with crony capitalist
deals, bailouts and easy Fed money. They
are also working on behalf of big business to legalize a low wage immigrant
work force.
On the Hispanic side of the equation, Democrats
have opened the floodgates on the southern border and are pushing for blanket
amnesty. In addition, they are diverting
illegal immigrants into every nook and cranny of America in order build
effective voting blocs in every state.
And finally, they are buying Latinos off in the good old fashioned way
with bribes (a.k.a. social welfare spending).
And where does all this bribe money come from? Many African Americans feel that is coming at
their expense. And although
they are voicing
a bit of pique over this, the Dems are coping a “let ‘em sweet
potato pie” attitude. Their calculus is
that African Americans will never desert the Party in large numbers for the
GOP.
They are probably right; however, opportunities
exist to engage the African American community on education and school choice, neighborhood
safety and the
Right to Bear Arms, the Drug War that imprisons inner city youth, corruption
and oppressive regulations that stifle economic opportunity.
This is the message that libertarians and
conservatives, not the GOP establishment, can bring to the inner city. It will get a fair hearing from those that the
Democrat Party has failed and abandoned.
