The Democratic Party and the Black Vote
Let’s say you have a pain in your arm and you go to a doctor. He tells you, “I found what’s causing your pain, but I can’t do anything to fix it. I do, however, have a pill that will dull the pain.” You’re not satisfied so you go to another doctor for a second opinion. He says, “I found what’s causing your pain, and there’s a surgery that can fix the problem. The pain will go away and you won’t have to take any pills.” Which doctor would you choose?
There are two major parties in the U.S. Only one of them has been consistently on the side of Civil Rights. Consider these questions. Members of which party raised the Confederate flag over the state houses of the South? The men who stood in the way of integration of educational institutions in the South were members of what party? The President who finally abolished slavery was a member of what party? The President who appointed the first black Secretary of State was a member of what party?
Until recently, the Democratic Party has been the party of Slavery, Jim Crow, and “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” Meanwhile, it has been the Republican Party that has stood up, since its founding, for equality and freedom. But you wouldn’t know that by listening to the media. The red state voters are called racists and bigots. This, of course, is a lie. Think about it. If you’re in Houston and you wanted to go to a neighborhood that was filled with black people from all economic classes, where would you go? There isn’t such a neighborhood in Houston. What if you're in the Liberal Stronghold of New York? Where would you go? Harlem. The same is true for Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles. You see, black people there segregate themselves. We believe this is because the North hasn’t had to face its racial problems like the South has.
Let me make another point. Ever since the Civil Rights era, the South has become more Republican, while the North has become more Democratic. Why? You might say that voters in the South are reacting against Civil Rights. If that were so, then why have they adopted the only party that was founded on the ideals of equality and freedom? We argue that the North has become more Democratic because voters there are reacting against Civil Rights. That’s why they have adopted the party that has, throughout the history of the United States, been the home of segregation and bigotry.
Yet despite all this, for some reason the black voters of this country continue to vote for the Democrats. Why? It was the Dems who kept blacks in slavery for hundreds of years, it was the Republicans who freed the blacks. It is the Dems who continue to keep blacks in a subjugated state through government handouts like welfare (the best way to keep a man under you is to make him think he needs you). It is the Republicans who offer ideas such as lower taxes, ending the death tax, and school vouchers to help blacks and citizens of all races to bring themselves up out of poverty and dependence on government. It was a Republican President who appointed the first black woman to the same office first held by Thomas Jefferson. What was the reaction of our friends on the Left? This shameful cartoon:
Our message to the black voters of this country is, stop supporting your oppressors! Stop going back to the same quack doctor and taking the same worthless pills. Help our President and his party end what he has called, “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”
Take back your communities, take back your child’s education, take back your freedom!
