Kanye West, the self proclaimed greatest entertainer and human being on the planet, blamed President Bush and the Republican party for the deaths of African-Americans in New Orleans in 2005. As if it was the president's job to order and organize an evacuation in the face of a devastating hurricane. Kanye completely bypassed Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco who should be held more responsible than the federal government. And, if the federal government had anything to do with the Hurricane Katrina deaths it is because the Democratic part has patronized and coddled blacks in this country to the point that they don't know how to care for themselves. You wouldn't see me standing on a bridge talking to reporters about how bad off I am...I would walk my ass somewhere where I would be better off. It took the people of New Orleans a total of three days to turn the dome into a ghetto. Democrats haven't taught these people to be accountable for their actions.
This is just one example of how the Democratic party has not only used race as a political weapon but has taken the black vote for granted but kept African-Americans in virtual slavery for over 150 years.
Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican? Most blacks were Republicans before FDR and the new deal, which ended up being misconstrued by modern Democrats to mean that the government should let people sit at home and get paid for it. Of course, FDR appointed Truman as his vice president. Truman being a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Democrats think black people are stupid and, as stated before, take their votes for granted. Dems push policy of more social welfare and tell blacks that Republicans are racists just so they can gain power and pursue their real agendas.
Kanye wants to say that George W. Bush is a racist. Tell me then, Kanye, why has President Bush appointed more blacks to higher level positions in government than any other president in history? President JFK, tauted as a civil rights hero, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as a U.S. senator (as did Al Gore Sr.) and was opposed to the 1963 march on Washington D.C. lead by MLK. In 2006 the Kerry campaign circulated flyers in Missouri picturing a 1960's black man being hosed down by a white firefighter. The caption read, "This is what they used to do to keep us from voting". That is a typical Democratic practice. They try to scare blacks into voting for them. Again, Democrats think black people are stupid.
The truth is, the Republican party was formed as the anti-slavery party and has forever tried to push policy aimed to help blacks. The Dems won't concede this point just because their idea of "help" is actually keeping the African-American community down. The Republican party believes in equality and that anyone can make a good life for themselves if they remain determined and work hard. Republicans try to give those who are down on their luck a hand up not a hand out. Take the voucher programs for example. Republicans have continually pushed for vouchers so that poor families (often black) can send their children to private schools when the public school system is failing them. The Dems are opposed to this program meant to help blacks elevate their position in society. Also, the 2 current Democratic presidential nominees, Obama and Clinton, both voted against raising the minimum wage which was a big issue for African-Americans in 2006.
The Democrats have been operating on the 4 S's since the 1800's. Those are; Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism. Their path towards socialism has held down blacks and turned African-American communities into economic and social wastelands. (Frances Rice)
Blacks who vote Republican or run for office as a Republican are often labeled as "traitors" by the democratic party. Some of the biggest racists and people who contribute to the political usage of blacks are black leaders themselves! C'mon Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! The victim role is getting very old. All leaders like this do is hold their own people back by keeping the race issue alive and further racially dividing the country. Plus, you have leaders of the black business world such as Russel Simmons and Bob Johnson.
Bob Johnson, the billionaire owner of BET has come out in support of Hillary Clinton, claiming Obama is just an uppity negro and Hillary REALLY has the black community's best interests in mind. This coming from the man whose television network constantly portrays a misogynistic and degrading view of African-American culture.
Some people might think that I should not be righting about this issue since I am white, but I can't sit back and watch African-Americans be used and held back by the Democratic Party anymore. So, let's wise up eh?
