If you choose to be unquestionably devoted to any political party you have chosen to be a slave.
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.
