Back when the Trayvon Martin case was the outrage du jour, the media, most notably CNN and the New York Times, saw fit to identify his shooter, George Zimmerman, as a “white Hispanic”. Was this to brand Zimmerman as some sort second rate, inferior type of Latino? Was it to lump him in with what Dr. Leonard Jeffries would call the “ice people” who are "pathological," "dirty," "dastardly, devilish folks"?
Who’s to say?
However in the spirit of
fairness and consistency, let the record show that not only is St.
Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch who handled the Michael
Brown investigation a Democrat, he is, like George Zimmerman, a White Democrat.
People of color, fear the
White Democrats. I do.
White Democrats were the party
of slavery.
Following slavery, White Democrats
were the party of the Klan, lynchings and Jim Crow.
White Democrats resisted the
Civil Rights Bill and old LBJ had to call on Republicans to get it passed.
White Democrats were the patrons
of Organized Labor, who systematically excluded African Americans from high
paying jobs for generations.
White Democrats illegally
interred thousands of loyal, innocent and law abiding Japanese American during
the Second World War.
Contemporary White Democrats
like to say that they have put their raciest past behind them. Really?
Non-White Democrat Missouri
State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal begs to differ:
"I have to tell you that there has
been systematic racism, institutionally in state government for decades,
including my own state party. So what we are looking at right now is a symptom
of racism that has been swept under the rug for decades. And I am so glad now
that the truth is out, and I'm very grateful to your network for telling the
truth in reporting the truth of what's going to go down in the coming
days."
"As it was said earlier today, and
because of the systematic racism that we have in our state government, and our
state party, and we do not bring the truth to bear, then we will not recover
from what we are going on.
To enhance her street cred among minorities and garner special consideration from schools and employers, White Democrat, Senator Elizabeth Warren falsely asserted that she was of Native American ancestry for years.
VP & WD Joe Biden:
Explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in
Washington, D.C., Biden told the Washington Post, “There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is
African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are
minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off
with, what you’re dealing with.”
What’s up with that? What’s that
supposed to mean?
Modern WDs, Chris Matthews gushed over then candidate Barack
Obama as he came off as damn near White in his speech and mannerisms.
Matthews: “You know I was trying to think about who he
was tonight and it's interesting... he is post-racial by all appearances. You know I
forgot he was black tonight for an hour.”
Reid: a "light
skinned" African-American "with
no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one"
Frederick Douglass was
asked what America should do for its former slaves. He answer was to do nothing but set them free. Any additional meddling would only
cause them more misery.
What shall be done with the four million slaves if they are
emancipated? ... What shall be done with them? Our answer is, do nothing with
them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. You’re doing with them is
their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they
now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They
suffer by every interference, and succeed best by being let alone.
White Democrats ignored
Douglass’ advice. In doing so they have
created a patronage class that is beholden to them and dependent upon the state
“benevolence” for food, shelter, healthcare, protection, education, etc., etc.,
etc.
Earlier this year, Wall
Street Journal reporter and African American, Jason Riley, called upon America
to heed Douglass’ wisdom and to correct that errors that Moynihan saw. In his new book, Please
Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It
Harder For Blacks To Succeed, Riley
methodically dissects the welfare, exposing how it destroys Black
self-determination and poisons the culture.
Be it well-meaning but
misguided help or a cruel plot to breed dependency, African Americans need to
free themselves from the economic and political patrimony of White
Democrats. This is not a call to vote
Republican, not at all. It is a call to
opt for the freedom, liberty and independence that Frederick Douglass demanded
over a century and a half ago.
Liberty and reason know no race. They are the essential condition for lasting
peace and prosperity.
