The Left's Madcap Social Engineering.  Today's Democratic candidates for the 2020 Presidential election are pushing all types of social engineering:  Medicare for all, basic income, affordable housing, reparations, and climate change.  But control is the central motivation behind the Progressive Wizard's curtain.  Two other powerful examples of social engineering are affirmative action and victimization.  These two are the gateway to all other forms of social engineering.  They are based on an assumption that minorities, particularly black Americans, are forever discriminated against, and are and will forever be victims of said discrimination.

Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Workers Most.  Basically, illegal migrants generally work low-wage jobs — the very jobs black Americans tend to work.  Likewise, both aliens and blacks tend to reside in major cities.  Taken together, this means that migrants and black Americans compete directly for the same jobs, which reduces wages and employment opportunities.  Unfortunately, black Americans fare worse in this head-to-head struggle because illegal aliens often work under-the-table for less than minimum wage and forgo expensive employer-provided healthcare plans.  They undercut the labor-market's mandated floor and pull the rug out from under American workers.

Candace Owens:  White Supremacy Isn't What's Harming Black America - 'It's Liberal Supremacy'.  Candace Owens, founder of the Blexit movement, told Fox News on Thursday [8/8/2019] that white supremacy isn't what's harming black America, it's "liberal supremacy."  "The purpose for this is to distract black Americans from the fact that Democrat policies are actually harming the inner cities.  They don't want to talk about the illiteracy rates.  They don't want to talk about what's actually harming black America, because let me tell you, it's not white supremacy.  It's liberal supremacy," Owens said during an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle."

Soledad O'Brien insults black people who support Trump.  Apparently, you can't go to a Trump rally while black without getting insulted by leftists.  Washed up actress Bette Midler was the last one we heard from on it, calling black people at Trump rallies "blackground" and that was just a week ago.  Now, fourth-rate talking head Soledad O'Brien has picked up the torch to throw out another insult to black people: [...] In O'Brien's view, black people are incapable of "thinking for themselves," as Candace Owens puts it, which draws many to support President Trump.  She's completely convinced that if you're black, you must hate Trump.

The Voters Do Deserve to be Neglected.  One hears pundits on the Republican conservative side of the discussion bewailing the misfortunes of the people of Baltimore in Elijah Cummings's rat-infested district.  They say, "The people of Baltimore deserve better.  The American People deserve better."  No, they don't.  They deserve exactly what they have.  They deserve their rats and their crime rate.  America still is, for now, a republic that operates on democratic principles of voting.  The people of Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Memphis, and St. Louis all have elected one Democrat after another to lead them.  St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since 1949.  Detroit since 1962.  Chicago since 1931.  Baltimore since 1967.  When people in a two-party country continue for more than half a century, without interruption, electing candidates from the same party to lead them, even as their once-great cities fade into rat-infested murder centers, then those voters do indeed deserve exactly, precisely what they have.  They do not deserve a whit better than they have chosen for themselves.

Yelling 'racist' won't clean up our cities.  Even the most passive-aggressive liberal knows that screaming epithets at white people won't produce positive change in our cities.  The fact that liberals default to this accusation implies two motives.  [#1] Liberals have no solutions to offer on the subject of rat and criminal infestations in our major cities.  [#2] Liberals like things the way they are and see no problem in chaining minority populations to third-world conditions.  That's the long and short of it.

What's Most Important?  Let's think about priorities.  Say that you live in one of the dangerous high crime and poor schooling neighborhoods of cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit or St. Louis.  Which is most important to you:  doing something about public safety and raising the quality of education or, as most black politicians do, focusing energies upon President Donald Trump and who among the 20 presidential contenders will lead the Democratic Party?  The average American has no inkling about the horrible conditions in which many blacks live.  Moreover, they wouldn't begin to tolerate living under those conditions themselves.

Raw racism:  Bette Midler calls black people at Trump rally 'blackground' and asks what they were paid.  At a time when black employment is at a record high, rappers such as Kanye West are calling President Trump their 'dragon brother,' and large numbers of black people are joining the Republican Party, how's this for a rabid racist response from the unhinged left?  I present for you washed-up actress and vaudeville act, Bette Midler: [...]

Bette Midler calls African American Trump supporters 'blackground,' is slammed as 'racist'.  Bette Midler is facing backlash after suggesting that President Donald Trump paid African American supporters to add "blackground" to his rally.  The outspoken Trump critic took to Twitter Wednesday to share a photo of a group of black men standing in the crowd behind Trump during one of his reelection rallies.

Democrats Hold a Terrible Hand of Race Cards.  The race card is being thrown back in the faces of those who have played it for decades.  The term "racist" has become such a cliché that it no longer carries any weight or meaning. [...] How many Democrat Senators proudly worked with former KKK Grand Cyclops Senator Robert Byrd for decades, some even calling him their "mentor" as Hillary Clinton did?

Democrats Still Don't Seem To Understand Latino Voters Aren't Obsessed With Illegal Immigration.  Democrats seem to think railing against how illegal immigrants are treated is a winning issue with Latino voters — as if every Latino in America came here illegally.  It's a pretty brazen assumption, and one the Left is not called out on.  It now appears as though the Left is just starting to learn that Latino voters care about other things — things all Americans care about:  healthcare, the economy, and education.

Pete Buttigieg Warns Black Americans of Another Civil War.  Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday [7/2/2019] warned Black Americans of a new civil war if the federal government failed to end racist institutions and pay reparations for slavery.  "If we do not tackle the problem of racial inequality in my lifetime, I am convinced that it will upend the American project in my lifetime," he warned.  "It brought our country to its knees once and if we do not act, it could again."

The Editor says...
Was that a warning of an impending civil war, or an incitement of civil war?

Send The Illegals Back!  Almost five years ago, I wrote about how then-president Barack Hussein Obama was a "deadbeat dad" to American children In his mission to fundamentally destroy America, not only did the Fallen Messiah attack Christians, whites and police, but he also abandoned America's black children.  Along with the deceptive liberal media, he pretended to care about illegal alien "children" by bringing them by the thousands into our country for votes.  For decades, RINO Republicans and godless Democrats have catered to illegals, exploiting them for power, politics and cheap labor — to the detriment of American society.  For over 29 years, I've spoken out against illegal immigration on behalf of blacks who bear the brunt of the chaos brought by open borders.  Illegal aliens and their children often end up in black communities, take black jobs, crowd their hospitals and schools, and fight with black children.

Thread Reader:  Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Americans Most.  Claims that immigration enforcement equals racism ignore the reality that the group most likely to benefit from a tougher approach to immigration enforcement is young black men, who often compete with recent immigrants for low-skilled jobs.  This dynamic played out recently at a large bakery in Chicago that supplies buns to McDonald's.  Some 800 immigrant laborers, most of them from Mexico, lost their jobs last year after an audit by [ICE].  The Cloverhill Bakery, owned by Aryzta, a big Swiss food conglomerate, had to hire new workers, 80% to 90% of whom are African American. [...] [T]he new workers are paid $14 per hour, or $4 per hour more than the (illegal) immigrant workers.  In this case, and in many others, the beneficiaries of immigration enforcement were working-class blacks, who are often passed over for jobs by unscrupulous employers.

A Jihad Basis for the Coup.  We are the last defenders of civilization.  Period.  The evidence now shows that Obama, Hillary, and John Kerry sold out.  We still don't know how many secrets Hillary sold to foreign powers for money, but thirty thousand emails are still missing.  Even conservatives tend to forget how deeply the Democrats hate this country.  We don't really want to know that, being normal, decent people.  The Democrats colluded with Stalin in the 20th century, and they never got over being exposed by Joe McCarthy.  They were the party of slavery and secession, and later, they supported the Klan.  Their record is morally abysmal.  As for Obama, he never showed any understanding of American moral values.  He is either very blind or on the wrong side.  Take your pick.

Biden unwittingly reveals the scope of the Democratic Party's racism.  As the old geezer praises 'civility' and other virtues of the men of his party, the hair-raising specter is rising:  Segregationists were pretty much the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.  It wasn't a fringe or regional group.  It wasn't a few outliers.  It was the main thrust of the Democratic Party and recently enough that Biden knew its proponents.  Republicans have known this for a long time — just the history of the civil rights movement, with the Bull Connor Democrats who tried to stop it every step of the way, often violently, pretty well shows how intensely the Democratic Party was the party of racism.

Heretics in the Church of Progressive Liberalism.  Certain ideas are indisputable.  Those who question them are heretics.  Dogma and heresy were on display, yet again, this week during hearings of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties as it (once again) considered the idea of (still more) reparations for slavery.  In this case, the dogma states that all material differences in outcomes among races are, a priori, caused by discrimination alone.  This is particularly true when there are differences in outcomes between African Americans and other Americans — especially white Americans.  Those differences must be attributed to slavery and Jim Crow alone.

The Dems' 2020 Election Strategy.  [Scroll down]  We know that Indians, or whatever Elizabeth Warren wants to be called, got the shaft a few centuries ago, but we gave them casinos, so both sides smoked a peace pipe and called it even.  And we know that Africans got the shaft half a millennium ago — shafted by their own people in Africa who sold them into slavery and bondage for rum, so now should be paying reparations from that rum money with 500 years of interest compounded quarterly, and then the Africans got shafted when they got here.  We know that, somewheres around fifty years ago, the Great Society decided to make amends somehow by changing rules so that fairness would balance out by giving the shaft to everyone else.  So we paid increased taxes to provide welfare like crazy, food stamps, paying even more money each time the mother had another kid, and even more money if the father abandoned the family — and we topped it off with racial quotas that we called "Affirmative Action".

Reparations: Democrats Scam and Insult Blacks Again.  Please stop telling black Americans that we are crippled, inferior and are helpless children who can only succeed via government handouts, lowered standards and special concessions.  Just stop it!  The Civil War effectively ended slavery in 1863.  After eight years of Americans making a black man the leader of the free world, Democrats are absurdly claiming blacks are suffering the negative repercussions of slavery and deserve a check.  These people (Democrats) are evil, divisive, race-baiting and race-exploiting con artists.

Black intellectuals surprise Democrats by telling them who owes the tab on reparations.  House Democrats thought they had an easy issue for rallying the black vote:  bringing up reparations for slavery as an election issue and holding congressional hearings.  What better way to rally coveted black voters than to hold out a big pile of reparations money along with lot of talk about victimization derived from evils committed in the past?  It didn't work out the way they thought it would.  A large number of Black intellectuals and pundits weighed in, not just at the hearing, but on Twitter and beyond, making a hash of the Democrat "narrative."  Quillette columnist Coleman Hughes, who's a Black Democrat, argued in testimony that the whole thing was insulting to black people and a distraction from the issues Black people face today.

Democrats embrace their segregationist past.  From the Civil War through the 1990s, Democrats controlled the 11 Confederate states.  Not until 1994 did Republicans have a majority of the congressmen from those states, and that was 30 years after passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  State legislatures fell later.  For years, though, Democrats have peddled the lie that the segregationists flipped parties in 1964.  They remained loyal Democrats.  Now Joe Biden is embracing his inner white supremacist.  News One reported, "Joe Biden Fondly Recalls The 'Civility' Of Pro-Segregation Senators."  Sure, they denied black people the vote, forced them to sit in the back of the bus, and would not let them in their restaurants, bathrooms, or hotels, but by golly those klansmen in the Senate were gentlemen.  Biden joined the Senate in 1973.

Progressives Seek To Make Segregation Great Again.  The progressive left touts segregation on college campuses.  You have probably already heard of minority students requesting separate dorm facilities and safe spaces.  But there is another aspect of college life that the left wants to segregate:  Graduations.  Virginia Tech University recently started offering ten segregated graduation ceremonies that are separated by race, sexuality, and other identity groups.  Students are allowed to participate in the graduation of their choosing.  The ceremonies are open to anyone who wishes to attend, but the participants must fall into the right category.

NFL Legend Burgess Owens Says Democrats Should Pay Reparations.  NFL legend and Super Bowl Champion Burgess Owens, does not agree with the Democrats about much.  However, he does agree with them about reparations, except he believes the Democrats should be the only ones who have to pay them.  During stirring testimony in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Reparations, Owens blasted the Democratic Party "for all the misery" they've brought to blacks; citing everything from the party's support of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and abortion.

Ahhh, those were the good old days.  Right, Joe?
Joe Biden Shares Fond Memories of Working With Segregationist Senators in the 1970s.  Former Vice President Joe Biden has highlighted his ability to do business with people all political persuasions, citing how he had worked with two prominent segregationists.  The frontrunner for the 2020 Democrat ticket was speaking at a fundraiser in New York's Carlyle Hotel where he referred to Senators James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia, whom he worked with during a 36-year Senate stint.  Eastland, who died in 1986 aged 81, vehemently opposed integration and thought black people belonged to "an inferior race."

To Pay for Reparations, Will Democrats Sue Themselves?  Slavery in America ended more than 150 years ago.  Neither former slaves nor slave owners are alive today.  Furthermore, columnist and radio host Michael Medved says that only about 5 percent of whites have any sort of "generational" connection to slavery.  "The importation of slaves came to an end in 1808 (as provided by the Constitution), a mere 32 years after independence, and slavery had been outlawed in most states decades before the Civil War," wrote Medved in 2007. [...] Finally, what about the role of the Democratic Party in slavery, Jim Crow and the resistance to ending them?  Republican President Abraham Lincoln, elected on an anti-slavery platform, signed the Emancipation Proclamation and led the North in its victory over the South at the cost of at least 620,000 soldiers dead on both sides.  Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, the 14th Amendment, which conferred citizenship on them, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote.

Black reporter harassed at impeach Trump protest: 'Go back to Fox News to pick cotton'.  Two anti-Trump demonstrators made racist comments to an African American Fox News contributor while he was covering an impeachment protest in New York.  The editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, 26-year-old Lawrence Jones, was interviewing people at an event promoting President Trump's impeachment when two attendees began directing racist comments toward him.  One of the men reportedly told Jones that he should go back to Fox News "where there's more cotton for you to pick."  When the man was asked to clarify what he just said, he reiterated the racist remark, according to the producer.

African-American Candidates Polling at 1 Percent in Iowa.  One day, black Democrats will wake up and say, "We've been had."  For a half century, African Americans have been giving Democrats a huge majority of their votes in national elections — 91 percent for Hillary in 2016, 90 percent in the 2018 Congressional contests — and in return Democratic kingmakers have not seen fit to take a single presidential candidate of African American heritage seriously. [...] The leading African American candidate, the once promising Sen. Cory Booker, is polling at 1 percent.  Improbably, Booker is the only African American candidate in a field of 23.  Hispanic candidates, the presumed future of the Democratic Party, are doing no better.

Intersectionality Is A Lie If Pro-Choicers Are Okay With The Black Baby Death Toll.  The left thrives on recklessly leveraging race.  They inflame and foment racial differences until their voters are hysterical over the idea that slavery is returning to our country at the hands of the pro-life movement.

This is an immediate disqualification!  Unless you're a Democrat, and the Deep State has already selected you.
Book: Senator Biden Lectured City on What's 'Good for the Negro'.  Former Vice President Joe Biden lectured the City Club in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1973 about what he thought was "good for the Negro," according to a new book from a prominent left-wing journalist.  The racially insensitive comments from Biden, a white man from Delaware who was at the time newly elected to the U.S. Senate, resurfaced, thanks to a new book from leftist journalist Ryan Grim of the Intercept.  The book, We've Got People:  From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement, has already landed a few other major blows, including on former President Barack Obama, regarding his "don't ask, don't tell" repeal legacy, but this revelation about Biden's torrid history with race — as told from the left — is particularly damning for the current Democrat 2020 presidential primary front runner.

The left now has a MeToo problem with Martin Luther King, Jr..  The left, which has been so eager to topple statues of Confederate generals, slave-owning founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, even Kate Smith who sang objectionable racist songs early in her career, now has a Martin Luther King, Jr. problem. [...] And for the left, which has lived by the statue-toppling, it can now die by the statue-toppling.  It toppled Confederate statues and sought to erase the founding fathers from the history books, so now all the streets named for the great civil rights leader, all the postage stamps, the schools, the history book lessons, the holiday, the statues, the sculptures, and the memorials, well, they can take them down now over the [allegations] and the rape witnessing report as King was pretty much Weinstein-level in his transgressions.

No Heroes Left: The MLK Revelations.  [Scroll down]  How different is that from today's civil rights movement (lower case deliberate) where reactionary identity politics rules the day.  What was once an idealistic crusade for equality and integration is now a movement for segregation with Harvard (among many colleges) holding separate graduation celebrations for African Americans.  Go figure.  The crypto-fascist concept of intersectionality dominating our campuses deliberately pits racial, religious and age groups against each other in a victimhood competition that does nothing but encourage people to hate each other.  We are going backwards fast, with the Democratic Party instigating much of it.

The MLK tapes.  Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with '40 to 45 women' and even claim he 'looked on and laughed' as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist, an author has claimed. [...] Writing in British magazine Standpoint, [biographer David] Garrow says that the shocking files could lead to a 'painful historical reckoning' for the man who is celebrated across the world for his campaign against racial injustice.

The Calming Feeling as Jew-Hate Now Takes Deeper Root in the Democrat Party.  It now is commonplace to recognize that Democrats — including Obama, Biden, Schumer, Clinton, and all the rest of them — all strongly supported building a border wall and keeping out Illegals.  Biden even complained openly about "corrupt Mexico."  It was a key part of the Democrat program, dating back to the days of California's Hispanic union leader Cesar Chavez, that the Illegals must be kept out because they take jobs from the economic underclass and bring down their wages by eagerly working for crumbs.  Democrat Orthodoxy taught that the party had to protect African Americans and union workers from the influx of uncontrolled cheap labor.  And then the Democrats did some vote counting.  They realized that they have the African-American voting population in their pockets anyway.  They assumed that the White union workers never would leave either, since union bosses are well provided for by the Democrats.  At the same time, the Democrats came to realize that an influx of Illegals rapidly would change the American electorate.  They were right.  They have changed the electorate in the California that once elected Nixon and Reagan.  They have changed Colorado and New Mexico.  They are changing Nevada and Arizona.  They even are aiming at Texas.  So they sold out African Americans — as they always do — and White union workers for a greater payoff at the voting booths.

Bernie Sanders flips off urban minority kids.  Few things offend Bernie Sanders as much as people escaping from command-and-control government systems, even minority students whose parents are desperate to get their kids a decent education.  The socialist wants to turn George Wallace on his head and not block black children from attending traditional public schools but block them from exiting them for something better.

Lisa Smiley: Why Asians Should Leave the Democratic Party.  With grassroots movements such as "Blexit" and "Walk Away" sweeping the nation, several reliably Democratic voting blocks could be slipping away.  The Daily Caller's Lisa Smiley says that she believes Asians should leave the Democratic Party.  "Democrats have duped Asians into voting against our own self-interest," Smiley claims.  [Video clip]

The Left's Obsession with Race.  There was a time when people aspired to a world where race was an afterthought.  It was always a tough slog, but we'd moved closer and closer over time.  Then something funny happened — a political party realized they could benefit from division and that unity was bad for business.  Unity would require a debate on issues and their merits, which was one they had been losing, so they opted for backsliding; divide to conquer.  If you divide people into groups it is much easier to win.  Groups of people are easier to manipulate than millions of individuals.  It is easier to win especially when you've been inundating them with the idea that there are "others" actively working against them as well as a system completely rigged to crush them.  These ideas coupled with the elevation and fetishization of victimhood in the culture and you've created the perfect petri dish for the progressive agenda.

Will Suppression Truthers Depress 2020 Democratic Turnout?  It should be obvious to these Democratic demagogues that supporters upon whom they heavily rely are also the most likely to believe the suppression canard and conclude that there is little point in trying to vote.  Several surveys conducted before and after last year's midterms show that the voter blocs that tend to lean Democratic are the least confident that vote counts are accurate in national elections.  Blacks, for example, constitute a crucial voting bloc for Democrats and the Pew Research Center found that only 20 percent were "very confident" their votes would be counted as they intended.  Hispanics and Millennials tend to be even less sanguine.

The Democrats and Mass Hysteria.  [Scroll down]  Race riots might be an example of mass hysteria brought on by soft tyranny.  You keep a people tightly leashed to a meager subsistence with assurance that society's deck is eternally stacked against them while further insuring that field stays uneven by providing atrocious public education to their children, and some of those people might fly off the handle once in a while.  As the smoke diminishes and the cameras lose interest, the do-gooders return to showering the root problem with spiritually malignant benevolence.  The left is knowingly indifferent to the torn-apart families and shreds of human dignity strewn about the street corner where good intention intersects bad result.

Racist Liberals Attack Tiger Woods.  When Tiger Woods won The Masters this year it shocked the world.  His glory days were long since gone; injuries had relegated him to forever live in past accomplishments — his career was pretty much over, he just hadn't retired yet.  Then he did it, he came back and won.  Nearly everyone was not only shocked, they were excited.  Americans love a great comeback story.  In the midst of that celebration, something happened to turn a lot of people away from that happiness — the president of the United States joined in.  First came a tweet congratulating Woods.  Leftists responded the way they respond to everything, they called Donald Trump a racist.  Ask them what time it is and you'll get the same response.

Why Must Black Conservative Republicans Explain Themselves?  [Scroll down]  It was the policies of one President Johnson that has led to the decimation of the traditional, nuclear, two-parent black family in America.  At the time of my birth in 1961, the two-parent household in the black community was a majority.  Since Johnson believed that the government should issue checks to women for out of wedlock births — but they cannot have a man in the home — the two-parent household is about one third in the black community.  There is a political party in America that vehemently supports an organization founded by a white supremacist, racist, who spoke at KKK rallies.  Her name is Margaret Sanger, and her organization is Planned Parenthood.  And since Roe v Wade, according to a report by the Center for Urban Renewal and Education from 2015, more than 19 million black babies have been murdered in the womb.  After all, Sanger referred to blacks as "weeds" and "undesirables."  This is a clear and present danger, a genocide before our own eyes, yet this same political party is championing slave reparations.

Given The Democratic Party's History Of Racism, Their Attacks On Me Aren't A Surprise.  When the Democrats' ridiculous, fear-mongering "Rise of White Nationalism" hearing blew up in their faces, liberals went looking for a scapegoat: me. [...] That hearing was a farce from the very beginning; all I did was expose it for what it was.  The entire exercise was nothing but the opening salvo of the Democrats' 2020 election strategy, which involves getting minority voters to the polls with a combination of fear and bribery — using the specter of "white nationalism" to smear Republicans while Democrats call for "reparations" in the form of government handouts.  It was a cynical, condescending attempt to mislead black voters, and while the Democrats had a whole panel of left-wing identity politics activists and social media executives to help them, only Zionist Organization of America leader Mort Klein and I were on hand to counter their deceptions.

Video of Candace Owens firing back at Ted Lieu nears C-SPAN record.  The viral clip of conservative commentator Candace Owens accusing Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., of distorting her comments in such fashion that he must "believe black people are stupid" has become the most-viewed C-SPAN Twitter video from a House hearing.  The Twitter video of the exchange so far accumulated nearly 6.8 million views and appears to be on track to be most watched C-SPAN clip from a House hearing on all platforms.

Isn't She Adorable?  My buddy Benny Johnson, who I've known since 2007, posted this photo of himself with Candace Owens at Reagan National Airport.  According to Benny, he was running to catch a flight when he bumped into Owens, fresh from her recent congressional testimony, wearing a MAGA hat and carrying "a sizable amount of Chic-fil-A." [...] You may recall the story of how it was Owens became a conservative.  She was a liberal, but during the #GamerGate controversy, she was "doxxed" by the Left, and had a road-to-Damascus awakening:  "I became a conservative overnight.  I realized that liberals were actually the racists.  Liberals were actually the trolls."  In this, she reminds me of Michelle Malkin.  When she was a student at Oberlin College, Malkin became an object of left-wing scorn when she dared to question the school's "diversity" agenda, and that experience — being called all the awful things the Left calls people who don't "know their place" in the official victimhood hierarchy — galvanized her.

What Is Dallas Council Hiding In their Frenzy Over Confederate Monuments?  Democrats are quite careful never to mention that Southern slave owners were Democrats or that the Democrat party perpetuated racial segregation after the Civil War through Jim Crow laws, founded the Ku Klux Klan, established poll taxes, and opposed the civil rights legislation of the 1960s.  They prefer the ignorant public believe this was at the hands of the Republican party, which totally opposed slavery and supported civil rights legislation.

Using "Blackspeech" Instead of Blackface to Skirt a Charge of Racism?  This week the National Action Network, an Al Sharpton event, was held.  Almost every Democrat contender running for President in 2020 attended, and spoke.  Representative Alexander Ocasio-Cortez was no exception.  Cortez took the floor and stirred up the attendees by resorting to "blackspeech" as she addressed the crowd.  Just like Hillary Clinton did in Alabama as she used the words of the late Rev. James Cleveland, Cortez put on a stellar Black slow accent as she spoke.  It would seem like her address would have been offensive to those hearing it as she spoke down to the mostly Black crowd, and told them that it was okay to do menial and ordinary jobs.  That in itself should have been enough to draw criticism because she made it sound as though Blacks should not seek to achieve anything better.

Candace Owens Nukes Nadler's 'Hate Crime' Hearing.  If you want to know why the Democrats are frightened of Candace Owens, watch the video of her Tuesday morning [4/9/2019] testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.  For example, early in the proceedings, Owens chastised Chairman Jerrold Nadler for misrepresenting her biography:  "You reduced it to one sentence, calling me a conservative activist.  It wasn't what I submitted to your office last night and I think that you opened with anti-black bias."  Having demonstrated that she is no shrinking violet, Owens debunked the ostensible purpose of the hearing — that it was convened to examine white nationalist hate crimes.

Candace KO's Dems.  "The media and the journalists on the Left are not interested in telling the truth about me because I don't fit the stereotype of what they like to see in black people.  I am a Democrat.  I support the President of the United States and I advocate for things that are actually affecting the black community."  That was Candace Owens of Turning Point USA in her opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. [...] Owens continued, "there isn't a single adult today that in good conscience would make the argument that America is a more racist, more white nationalist society than it was when my grandfather was growing up, and yet we are hearing these terms center around today because what they want to say is that brown people need to be scared, which seems to be the narrative that we hear every four years right ahead of a presidential election."

Candace Owens Nukes the Democrats.  House Democrats held a hearing today on white nationalism and hate crimes.  Trying to wrench the narrative back after the stunning demise of the Mueller investigation, I suppose.  Candace Owens was called as a witness, presumably by the Republicans.  Check out her opening statement, in which she let the Democratic Party have it with both barrels.  It is one of the most righteous performances you are ever likely to see.  [Video clip]

Reparations: Another Cynical Racial Ploy from the Democrats.  They say money is the mother's milk of politics, but for the Democrats the true mother's milk is racism — that is the perception thereof.  Without the belief that America is a racist country, specifically against blacks but generally against any other group they can claim to be vulnerable, the party would cease to exist, dissolving into a puddle like the Wicked Witch of the West in the "Wizard of Oz."  That is why they work so hard to preserve this sense of a country suffused with racism, fanning the flames at every turn to make it so, even when it isn't.  In so doing, they often hypnotize themselves, convincing themselves of their own belief, which in turn perpetuates the myth and continues to manufacture hatred where it doesn't exist.

'We Don't Talk Like That': Ocasio-Cortez Accused Of Putting On Black 'Accent' At NAN Conference.  Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed to use a forced accent during a speech to the National Action Network convention Friday [4/5/2019]. [...] Ironically, while Al Sharpton introduced Ocasio-Cortez to Friday's event, then Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton switched up her usual accent when speaking to the civil rights activist in 2016.

Is the Democratic Party possessed?  Hillary Clinton did it, as did Al Gore.  Even Barack Obama, depending on his audience, could upshift and downshift his colloquialisms to match his own perceived level of pandering from Ivy League, country club snob to battle rapper.  Sandy O was just following their lead, using the same working script on "How to Speak to Groups."

Slavery reparations hustle and 'Blame Whitey' mania is a scam, says former ACLU leader.  Democrats are trying to bribe black voters again by dusting off the old leftist talking point of promising Slavery Reparations.  Not surprisingly, the reparations talk is heating up just as we approach the 2020 elections.  However, black activists warn black voters to not fall for the "Blame Whitey" hustle because no one is getting reparations.  It's merely a scam to con blacks into voting for Democrats.

AOC adopts Southern drawl to talk to black audience.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared to imitate a Southern accent in a speech to a predominantly black audience at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference in New York City on Friday [4/5/2019].  "This is what building power looks like, this is what changing the country looks like," Ocasio-Cortez said, exaggerating and drawing out vowels in a distinct change from her usual pronunciation.

Estupida-Cortez Panders to Blacks with Phony Accent.  Why do Democrats insult Black Americans by attempting to pander to them with phony accents?  When speaking to Black audiences, they use an obviously fake and contrived accent to mimic the way they believe Black Americans talk.  I find it offensive and disgusting, and I'm not even Black!  Hillary Clinton did it.  Barack Obama did it.  Now, Alexandria Estupida-Cortez wants in on the action.  [Video clip]

AOC mocked for 'accent' at Sharpton event; compared to Hillary Clinton.  U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., faced backlash Friday after seeming to develop a new accent while speaking to a predominantly black audience in New York City.  In an appearance at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the freshman congresswoman responded to those who've invoked her past employment as a bartender in what she said were attempts to delegitimize her status as an elected official.  "I'm proud to be a bartender.  Ain't nothing wrong with that," Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC Responds To Criticism Of Her Fake Southern Black Accent And She's Not Happy.  As reported by fellow RedState writer Sarah Lee, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke in front of the National Action Network yesterday [4/5/2019] and decided to don the worst fake southern black accent to ever exist.

2020 Democrats Rely on Google Translate to Court Latino Voters.  Democratic presidential candidates appear to be relying on Google translate to bolster their outreach efforts to Latino voters.  The Spanish-language portion of each candidates website has "striking similarities" to "Google's translation service," according to an analysis by Politico.  The candidates appear to be using Google to translate the copy on their sites from English-to-Spanish and posting "with only minor cleanup."  The end result is that websites are riddled with "awkward phrases," incorrect idioms, and generally poor grammar.

Race Relations:  If Democrats Would Get Out of Our Way.  To keep blacks feeling like victims in a forever racist America, Democrats keep the flames of racial division burning.  Blacks are only 12% of the population.  This means white voters gifted the first black president two terms.  Despicably, Democrats continue to tell blacks, "Keep voting for us to keep racist white America off your backs."  Contrary to the Democrats' lie, we have come a long way baby in race relations in our country.  Living, working, and playing together, a majority of Americans work out their racial issues.  We need race-baiting Democratic politicians to get out of our way.

To Pay for Slavery Reparations, Will Democrats Sue Themselves?  Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, the 14th Amendment, which conferred citizenship on them, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote.  During the debate over the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Democrats, including Sen. Al Gore Sr., orchestrated a record-breaking 60-day filibuster in an attempt to block the bill from coming to a vote.  By percentage, more Republicans in the House and the Senate voted to pass the bill than did Democrats.  Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen received an honor, 40 years after his death, from his hometown's local chapter of the NAACP for his work navigating the bill through the Senate.

White Leftists And The White Progressive Savior Mentality.  The white progressive savior continues to pose as a friend of minorities, but in reality, they are using them as a useful political tool.  It is why Joe Biden told a crowd of black Americans that Republicans wanted to "put y'all back in chains."  It's why they argue that voter ID laws are racist because blacks can't figure out how to obtain identification.  Moreover, by implementing programs that seem to be helpful, they are keeping many minorities dependent on the Democratic Party, which means they will continue to garner most of their votes.  In this sense, the progressive left are the political pusher men and their policies are the opioids that provide short-term relief while quietly killing the communities in which they are implemented.  Programs like welfare are accomplishing one thing:  Ensuring that impoverished minorities remain in communities mired with crime and poverty.  If the progressives wish to be viewed as the people who are poor and helpless, then they need for people to be poor and helpless, right?

Blacks and the Democrats.  Well, the 2020 election will soon be upon us, and the African-American community has hired the same incompetent political party for the past 50 years.  You would think, after receiving such overwhelming support from the black community, Democrats would do everything in their power to make their dedicated minority supporters the envy of every citizen.  Sadly, following election day, Democrats get a strange case of amnesia.  What has been the payoff to the black community for religiously voting for Democratic leadership?

Not African at All.  We are all familiar with the track record of African-Americans in voting for the Democratic Party.  In many elections the ratio is comfortably above ninety percent.  If the Episcopal Church was once described as "The Republican Party at prayer", certainly the African-American church for the last fifty years could be described as "The Democratic Party at prayer."  In practical terms, what this means is that the black community has marched in lock-step with the agenda of that party:  abortion, same-sex marriage, normalizing transgenderism, secularized education, and the like.  The results of this dogmatic one-sided commitment to the progressive vision:  one-third of African-American children will be aborted; seventy percent of African-American children are born out of wedlock; only 15-20 percent will reach their teenage years in two-parent families.  But here is where it gets ironic:  blacks are the most church-attending ethnic group in America.

Trump Is the Most 'Progressive' President Ever for Blacks, Gays, Jews.  There are two reasons the media, Hollywood, and the Democratic political elite believed Smollett's claims.  First, he belongs to several victim categories: black, gay, and even Jewish (albeit via his father), according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.  Second, he appealed to the left's shared contempt for America in the Trump era:  he claimed, for example, that the fact people doubted his story "says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now."  The crucial detail in Smollett's account, which ultimately proved its undoing, was the claim that his attackers had shouted, "This is MAGA country."

Abortion and the Politics of Self-Destruction.  Planned Parenthood began 1916 when Margaret Sanger opened America's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn.  Less well known is that Sanger was a racist and eugenicist who considered many Americans unworthy of life. [...] Sanger wrote a letter in 1939 saying "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."  Given the popularity of Planned Parenthood among Democrats, and overwhelming support of the Democrat party among blacks, obviously word of this did not get out. [...] Hillary Clinton, in 2009, accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award.  She remarked, "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision." [...] Let's not forget the late Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, who at one time was an Exalted Cyclops in the KKK, and who Hillary Clinton praised as her "mentor."  She is not alone in having racist mentors.  Bill Clinton's mentor was Democratic Senator J. William Fulbright who fought against school desegregation.  Don't forget Democratic Senator Al Gore, Sr. who voted against the Civil Rights Act.

Breaking the Left's Deception of Black Americans.  My younger brother Jerry is the only Republican in his all-black Baptist church in Baltimore.  He confronted his black pastor about routinely including rants about how Trump and Republicans are racist in his sermons.  Jerry told the pastor about how years ago, Trump gave Jesse Jackson office space for his PUSH organization.  Jerry explained that the KKK was founded by Democrats.  He touted Democrats' history of perceiving blacks as inferior and opposing black liberation.  None of these truths impacted his pastor's disdain for Trump and Republicans.  Jerry feels led to remain in his church, letting his light shine and speaking out for what is right.  Jerry said since political facts seem useless in breaking his pastor's blind loyalty to Democrats, he will approach it using biblical scripture.

Kamala Harris Will Run on Reparations for Slavery.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said in an interview Monday with "Breakfast Club" that she supports "some type of" reparations to black Americans for slavery. [...] Harris said "America has a history of 200 years of slavery.  We had Jim Crow.  We had legal segregation in America for a very long time.  The Voting Rights Act was only strong for 50 years and then they wiped it out with this United States Supreme Court in the Shelby decision, to the point that 22 states immediately thereafter put in place laws that one court found were crafted with surgical precision to have black people not be able to vote."  Those were all Democrat policies!  Democrats should pay the reparations.

Are the Days of Roe v.  Wade Numbered?  Every time I lament that my fellow blacks insanely support Planned Parenthood, which targets black babies to kill, I'm flooded with emails from whites.  "Lloyd, let blacks know Planned Parenthood was founded by rabid racist Margaret Sanger to exterminate blacks."  Frustrated, I yell at my computer.  "I've been telling blacks the truth about Sanger and Planned Parenthood for years to no avail!"  Unbelievably, over 20 black religious leaders gathered to ceremonially "bless" a new Planned Parenthood abortion chop-shop in Washington, D.C.  These supposed black shepherds are participating in the genocide of their own flocks.  To stop the black-on-black genocide via abortion, Godly black ministers put up a billboard.  "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb."  Guess who had a cow and demanded that the billboard be removed?  The answer is Rev. Al Sharpton, black civil rights organizations, and Democrats.

Virginia Dems add anti-Semitism accusation to party's troubles.  Ibraheem Samirah, Democrats' candidate in a special election for a state House seat later this month, apologized Friday [2/8/2019] for anti-Israel comments from earlier this decade, saying that while he made them, the fact that they are rising now is a "slander campaign."  Dr. Samirah, who was born in the U.S. but calls himself a "second-generation Palestinian refugee," said he wrote the offending comments five years ago on Facebook, and says they were the musings of his college mind, which "I sincerely regret and apologize for."

The Whole Lot of Them Are Bat-Crazy.  In his SOTU address, the President showed deep compassion for African Americans, for Hispanic Americans, for women — for all the groups that the liars and real haters allege he disdains.  All the haters who accuse this President falsely of racism and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and all are self-serving liars who themselves view every person with bigotry, identifying each by gender, race, sexual preference, religion.  That is what their Identity Politics is all about:  "Vote for me because I am your Identity, too, or will try to change myself to be."  Stacey Abrams was the perfect Democrat counterpoint:  not Caucasian, not male, and still whining about losing.  The Loser as counterfoil to Make America Great Again.

Flashback: Verified White Racist Receives 90% Of The Black Vote.  Democratic Governor George Wallace stood at the doors of the University of Alabama, blocking African American students from entering.  This was back in 1963. [...] A few years after his last presidential quest, Wallace became a born-again Christian, repented of his racist views, and ran for governor of Alabama one last time.  Wallace won and he won with 90% of the African American vote.  As we look at what is happening in Virginia and surely what could happen in other states, we have to ask ourselves what the nation wants in terms of racism and repentance as well as what the nation wants in terms of curbing abhorrent behavior and beliefs.

Bunch of White Women Dressed in White  not applauding during talk of record minority employment — not a good look. [...] Well, they didn't stand for the minority employment, but the women stood for record employment of women.  Seems kinda ... selfish.

Liberalism's PC Petards.  Looking at the possibility of losing the Virginia governorship to the Republicans, a few liberals are calling for adjustments to the PC penal code.  The New York Daily News, normally unforgiving in its commitment to upholding the strictures of political correctness, ran an editorial entitled:  "Facing facts:  Blackface is awful, but is it always and immediately disqualifying from public office?"  The paper seemed to argue that the growing volume of cases argues against a zero tolerance policy.

Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon Ignore Northam Controversy After Previously Appearing in Blackface.  Late-night funnymen Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon both ignored the massive controversy created by a photo purportedly showing Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) in blackface.  As Fox News points out, the late-night network hosts may have ignored the story due to their own history wearing blackface in past comedy sketches.

The Northam Debacle is a fitting nightmare for a party that is all about "identity.".  During Obama's first two years in office, black unemployment rose; under Trump, it has fallen.  The liberal apoplexy about the Northam debacle is a reminder that the Democrats obsess not over sound policies but the preservation of politically useful images.  They don't want to lose any ground to a president whom they routinely smear as a racist.  They live in dread fear of losing a monopoly on the black vote, a monopoly based not upon substantive achievements but on the successful manipulation of identity politics.

Howard and Ralph.  [Virginia governor Ralph] Northam — a Democrat, despite what lies about his party affiliation might appear on CNN chyrons — was elected over Ed Gillespie in 2017 amid a campaign wherein Northam's party ran a mailer tying Gillespie to the white supremacist demonstrations and subsequent deadly street conflagrations in Charlottesville earlier that year, and also ran a TV ad insinuating that Gillespie and his supporters would be running down children of color in pickup trucks.  The supreme irony of that campaign, particularly given the vicious lies about Gillespie which were told in it, came back to bite Northam in spades when a page from his medical school yearbook surfaced showing what appears to be him in a photo in blackface, standing next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan costume.  Or perhaps it's Northam under the white hood.  We can't say for sure, because after a mealy-mouthed initial response Northam is now denying he's either person in that photo, [...]

Before Northam, Democrats Didn't Just Dress Up as Klansmen.  As late as 1989, Democrats called a former KKK Exalted Cyclops their leader in the United States Senate.  Robert Byrd acknowledged, and regretted, his youthful involvement in the murderous hate group.  But his "fleeting association," as Bill Clinton put it, with the KKK appeared not so much as a moment of insensitivity, as some might construe Northam dressing up in the mid-1980s, as a prolonged period of bigotry at its ugliest.  "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again," he wrote Senator Theodore Bilbo, another Democrat associated with the KKK, "than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."  Less than a decade ago, a more forgiving Left came together to eulogize Byrd as a great man.

Northam Spikes The Ball On How Acceptable Racism Is Among Democrats.  Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in a Saturday [2/2/2019] press conference denied appearing in a racist 1984 photograph that he on Friday apologized for admitting he did wear blackface for a Michael Jackson dance context the same year wearing similar shoes, a glittery glove and shoe black on his face.

Biden Endorsed Segregation in 1975, Mainstream Media Dead Silent.  Democrats have had an extremely bad week.  From Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's past racist photos surfacing to HBO's Bill Maher mocking a black Republican Congressman, the liberal party can't seem to slow the madness.  Enter former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now dealing with a serious racial issue of his own involving segregation and "black pride" [...]

'Coonman' Northam Tries to Cop a Plea.  Democrat Ralph "Coonman" Northam wants to remain Virginia's governor based on the claim that he has performed in blackface only once.  Reversing his earlier confession that he was indeed one of the two people shown in a racist photo appearing on the "Ralph Shearer Northam" page of his medical school yearbook, he said during a Saturday news conference that neither could have been him because he has donned blackface but a single time, for a San Antonio talent show.  He also added, "I have a lot of African-American friends."

Is Bill Maher a racist?  These days we hear about racism — more often than not, it seems, fictitious racism — on a daily basis.  One of the many current controversies is about Bill Maher, who was interviewing a black Republican Congressman, Will Hurd, and made a "joke" about Popeye's Chicken.  The joke is a bit of a mystery, although a bigger question is why a Republican Congressman would go on Maher's show.  [Video clip]

President Trump Tweets, Governor "Coonman" Career Ends, Wind-tester Clinton Finally Surfaces.  Yes, the hypocrisy of the Hillary Clinton surfacing to criticize Governor Northam for racism against her own direct relationship with modern racism is rather stark.  But hey, that's the typical Democrat approach.  Hillary Clinton delivered a fond eulogy for U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, a former member and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, calling him her "friend and mentor."  But hey, times-they-are-a-changin', even for the woman who carries 'hot sauce in her purse."

Lessons From the Past.  Back in 1948, the unemployment rate for 17-year-old black males was just under 10 percent, and no higher than the unemployment rate among white male 17-year-olds.  How could that be, when we have for decades gotten used to seeing unemployment rates for teenage males that have been some multiple of what it was then — and with black teenage unemployment often twice as high, or higher, than white teenage unemployment?  Many people automatically assume that racism explains the large difference in unemployment rates between black and white teenagers today.  Was there no racism in 1948?  No sane person who was alive in 1948 could believe that.  Racism was worse — and of course there was no Civil Rights Act of 1964 then.  How then could there be this low unemployment rate, with virtually no racial difference?

Who Benefits From Democratic Control?  What cities are the deadliest for blacks?  The Trace, an independent nonprofit news organization, answers that question.  Using 2017 data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program, The Trace listed the 20 major U.S. cities with the highest homicide rates — factoring in both the number of people murdered in cities and their populations.  Chicago, with 589 murders in 2018 — one murder every 15 hours — is often called the nation's murder capital.  But that's dead wrong.  In 2017, St. Louis had the nation's highest murder rate, at 66.1 homicides per 100,000 residents.  Baltimore came in second, with 55.8 murders per 100,000 people.  Detroit was third, with 39.8 murders per 100,000 people.  Other cities with high murder rates included New Orleans; Kansas City, Missouri; Cleveland; Memphis, Tennessee; and Newark, New Jersey.  With 24.1 murders per 100,000 residents, Chicago ranked ninth in the nation.  It was followed by Cincinnati and Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., was 17th.  Now here's the kicker.  Of the 20 most dangerous major cities, all but one had a Democratic mayor.  In many of these cities, the Democratic Party has ruled for a half-century or more.

I Have a Dream for Black History Month.  Democrats and fake news media do not view Black History Month as an opportunity to celebrate black achievements.  Instead, they exploit the holiday with old racial injustices experienced by few blacks alive today.  Their evil purpose is to make young blacks who have never experienced an ounce of racism hate our country, hate whites, and continue voting for Democrats to save them.  This great Democrat deception continues to devastate black communities.  Cities like Chicago; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore, controlled by Democrats for decades, are plagued with high black poverty and addictive government dependency, high black school dropouts, high black fatherless households, high black incarceration, and high black-on-black homicides.

Pelosi and the Caucus of Crazy.  House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, a three-term congressman from New York, celebrated the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. by launching into a tirade in which he compared President Trump to a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.  One would think that Representative Jeffries would, considering the KKK's well-documented ties to his own party, avoid such analogies.  The most famous Ku Klux Klan official to serve in Congress was Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, whose tenure lasted 57 years (from 1953 to 2010).

Candace Owens Interview:  Why Should Black People Leave The Democratic Party?  Blexit is a movement started by conservative activist Candace Owens in order to "free" black people from the Democratic Party.  The movement's maiden event featured a packed, standing room only theater in Los Angeles where Owens — and a cavalry of speakers including Ann Coulter, Charlie Kirk, Larry Elder and David Harris Jr — addressed the cheering audience.  The enthusiastic crowd donned shirts that read "Liberals Can't Bully Me" and a colorful collection of MAGA hats.  The Daily Caller was on the scene and interviewed Owens about the Blexit movement and why black people should leave the Democratic party.

Inside the Inaugural Blexit Rally: 'The Black and Latino Community Will Save America'.  Hundreds of people from across the country came out wearing MAGA hats and waving homemade "build the wall" signs to the inaugural Blexit rally at the Globe Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California, on Sunday [1/20/2019].  The line outside the theatre nearly wrapped around the block hours before the event began, as eager attendees met and greeted each other.

State of Texas protects civil rights of a black man over objections of deep blue Austin city government.  The mainstream media are doing their best to ignore a story that contradicts their partisan narrative about civil rights.  In this case, the deep blue city of Austin, Texas has been fined $9,000 by a judge for infringing the civil rights of an African-American.  And the champion of said victim was the deep red State of Texas attorney general.  What makes the story all the more delicious for conservatives is the civil right in question:  the Second Amendment.

The devil is using the Democratic Party to destroy America.  My parents were Democrats, and I grew up as a boy having a positive view of Presidents Truman and Kennedy.  I was shocked and saddened when I later discovered the history of the Democratic Party as the party of slavery, secession and segregation.  As I've watched the ascent of extremism, socialism and godless secularism in their ranks, I'm alarmed with millions of patriotic Americans at the trajectory of the party's politicians, policies and platform — attractive on the surface but dangerous in their outworking.

The Worst Enemy of Black People.  Malcolm X said:  "The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.  If the Negro wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems.  I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems.  Our problems will never be solved by the white man." [...] In Malcolm X's day, and mine, Negro was a proud name and not used derisively by blacks as it is today.

White liberals 'patronize' minorities: study.  White liberals present themselves as less competent when addressing minorities, while conservatives use the same vocabulary no matter what the race of their audience, according to a newly released study.  Yale and Princeton researchers found that white Democratic presidential candidates and self-identified liberals played down their competence when speaking to minorities, using fewer words that conveyed accomplishment and more words that expressed warmth.  On the other hand, there were no significant differences in how white conservatives, including Republican presidential candidates, spoke to white versus minority audiences.

Reminder: White Liberals Hate Living in Black Neighborhoods.  Chris Hayes the liberal talking head says he's afraid of black people.  By saying it, he joins the ranks of Ta-Nehisi Coates, who wrote a whole book about it; Jesse Jackson, who worried out loud that one of them was going to mug or murder him; Al Sharpton, who left blackville the second he had the chance; James Baldwin, who told us to love Americans and then exiled himself to France; Barack Obama, who lives in alabaster Kalorama and sent his kids to white schools; and Maxine Waters, who got so rich riling up her constituents that she was able to move away from them.  Black celebrities aside, one thing you never see a white liberal do is move into a black neighborhood.  Chris Hayes won't because he's already lived near one, and he says he hated it.

Two Young Black Men Vote for First Time — Wear Blexit Shirts to Polling Station, Reporter Stumped.  Two young black men lined up to vote for the first time in Georgia today [11/6/2018].  A reporter confronted them and asked them their thoughts.  The black youth said he wanted the Trump economy to continue.  The people around him cheered!  The reporter did not know what to think!  The two men were wearing Blexit shirts.

Pittsburgh and the Misplaced Anger of 'Liberal' Jews.  Blacks and Jews were allies during the days of the civil rights movement, but that went south a while ago, as we know.  But despite Farrakhan et al., they aren't that far apart ideologically, even today.  Both groups are comprised too largely of the most slavish liberal/progressive conformists. [...] Blacks at least have the excuse of having been an exploited underclass, although relying on such excuses does you no good and impedes progress and, in fact, encourages the reverse.  You would think the Jews, with their emphasis on education, might know better.  But again these days, there's no greater conformist than a Harvard professor or some Jewish columnist for the Washington Post.  Their views are stupefyingly predictable.

Andrew Gillum Attends Event Hosted By Anti-Israel Organization Following Mass Attack On Jews.  Florida's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum spoke at an event hosted by an anti-Israel organization the day after the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.  Gillum and his running mate, Chris King, spoke at a "Muslims for Gillum" rally Sunday [10/28/2018] at Apna Bazar in Orlando, Florida.  The event was co-hosted by Emgage, an American Muslim lobbying organization.  Only a day earlier on the Jewish Sabbath, 11 people perished in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after an individual carried out a mass shooting while reportedly shouting, "All Jews must die."  Emgage has been a vocal supporter of Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, and repeatedly endorsed his candidacy for governor of Florida.

Bernie Calls Trump 'Most Racist President In History.' He Forgot About These 3 Guys.  In 1913, Democrat president Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the federal government, replaced 88% of black federal service supervisors with whites, and by 1914 began requiring photographs from government job applicants.  Wilson's racial bigotry stands out even by the standards of his age, and his Republican predecessors Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft made a determined effort to appoint black Americans to public office.  By contrast, Wilson defended the Ku Klux Klan in passages that later appeared in D.W. Griffith's infamous film The Birth of a Nation, which Wilson screened at the White House.  After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Democrat president Franklin Roosevelt snubbed black, four-time gold medal winner Jesse Owens from a reception honoring exclusively white American competitors.  Owens might have counted himself lucky, however, comparing his treatment with that of other racial minorities during Roosevelt's reign.  In 1942, Roosevelt arrested and interned more than 100,000 Japanese Americans, while curiously sparing Americans of German and Italian descent, by executive order.  Lyndon Johnson has the laudable distinction of becoming the only Democrat president in history to sign a Civil Rights Act, albeit a century after Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 over Democrat president Andrew Johnson's veto.

Racist Hall Pass For Joe Donnelly and Hillary Clinton.  Why are Hillary Clinton and Sen. Joe Donnelly getting a free pass for their racist comments?  Seriously?  Why is the former Secretary of State not being vilified by Don Lemon on CNN for saying that black people, "all look alike?" Why is Chris Matthews of MSNBC not calling for the resignation of Indiana Democrat Joe Donnelly for saying that his state campaign director is Indian-America, "BUT" he does a great job?

Lester Holt Once Dressed As Woman In 'Whiteface,' Jimmy Fallon In Blackface.  NBC was aghast that Megyn Kelly said it was once OK to color your skin during Halloween when she was a kid.  "But what is racist?" she said on her NBC morning show last week.  "Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.  Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character."  Kelly was quickly drummed out of NBC and accused of being a racist.  Now, before we go on, we want to point out that Kelly didn't actually appear in blackface, dressed up like, say, Aunt Jemima.  She just said those words.

Latinos are waking up to the duplicity of the Democrats.  With a little more than a week left until the midterm elections, Democrats appear to be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  The matchups were theirs to lose, and they seem poised to underperform in a bunch of them.  A reader recently asked me:  "I don't understand why Latinos are not motivated to vote against a bigoted POTUS and willing enablers."  I can help with that.  The answer has to do with how Latinos feel about Donald Trump, and how they feel about Democrats as an alternative.

Limbaugh: If A Republican Said What Hillary Said About Booker, They'd Be 'Finished'.  On Monday [10/29/2018], Rush Limbaugh highlighted a topic that inevitably comes up frequently on his radio show:  Democratic hypocrisy — and, more particularly, Democratic hypocrisy on the issue of racially charged comments.  Limbaugh took a moment to give twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a chance to demonstrate once again why she lost against a former reality TV star with the media unified against him and the worst likability score of any presidential candidate since pollsters first coined the term "likability."

Hillary Clinton Says Blacks 'All Look Alike,' Then Laughs As Audience Applauds.  Now "can you imagine" Trump — or any Republican — saying that and getting a pass from the mainstream media?  Of course not.  The most hilarious thing is that Clinton had just delivered a haughty speech before she made the highly inappropriate and racist joke.  "What's often called political correctness is politeness.  It's respecting the diversity that we have in our society," she said.

Hillary Clinton jokes that all blacks 'look alike' after interviewer confuses Eric Holder with Cory Booker.  Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a joke that all blacks 'look alike' after an interviewer botched a question and mixed up two prominent African American politicians.

Hillary Clinton Jokes About Confusing Eric Holder with Corey Booker:  "They all look alike".  Failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and women's rights advocate Kara Swisher sat down for a live podcast and taping in New York City.  The media has focused on Mrs. Clinton remarks:  "I want to be president", which can be seen in the interview at 00:33:40.  However, there's also an alarming joke told by Clinton that reflects her tone-deaf racial perspective.  At the 01:04:30 moment of the interview Ms. Swisher mistakes Corey Booker for Eric Holder and Mrs. Clinton replies:  "I know they all look alike".  [Video clip]

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:  for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

— Luke 6:45    

Al Sharpton's reaction to Trump hosting young black leaders in MAGA 'caps' is worth the price of admission.  Notorious race-baiter Rev. Al Sharpton believes that President Donald Trump's decision to allow Turning Points USA to host its Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House this year is somehow, someway wrong and perhaps even blatantly racist.  "It's one of the lowest things he could ever do," Sharpton complained Friday evening on MSNBC. "To go in the East Room, which is sacred, have a staged rally.  Notice that all of those youngsters had caps on.  It was almost like we're going to dress you for the photo.  And to call it a young black leader summit...."

The Editor says...
Mr. Sharpton's horrified reaction at the sight of young blacks happy to visit a Republican president in the White House is disturbing.  It is as if Mr. Sharpton believes that all blacks are somehow under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Democratic Party.

Blexit: In My Own Words.  When I uploaded my first video onto YouTube one year ago, I entitled it "Mom, Dad, I'm a Conservative."  It was a two-minute satirical stab at the social exiling that many Americans face when they announce their conservatism to friends and family.  Soon thereafter I would discover that for black Americans, the punishment that awaits is far worse than any social exile: it is a full-court social lynching.

Kanye West designed 'Blexit' shirts calling for black people to leave the Democratic Party.  Rapper Kanye West is the designer of the "Blexit" shirts encouraging black people to leave the Democratic Party.  The shirts, which are a play off "Brexit" in the United Kingdom, were introduced Saturday at Turning Point USA's Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C.  "Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West," said the group's communications director, Candace Owens, according to Page Six.

Kanye West designed T-shirts urging black people to leave Democratic Party in a 'Blexit'.  Kanye West has reportedly designed T-shirts urging black people to leave the Democratic Party in a "Blexit."  The shirts first appeared at Turning Point USA's Young Black Leadership Summit Saturday in Washington, according to the New York Post's Page Six.  They advocate for a black exit or "Blexit" from the party.  "Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West," Turning Point USA's communications director, Candace Owens, told Page Six.

Kanye West and the Fugitive Slave Law.  After rapper Kanye West's appearance with Donald Trump at the White House, the progressives unleashed their cable news and twitter bloodhounds to pursue West and drag him back to the Democrat plantation.  Commentators who relentlessly police language for racial slurs no matter how barely detectable, suddenly were reveling in old demeaning insults like "minstrel show" and "token," new ones like "Negro" (which I'm betting few of us know is now a slur), and idiotic ones like being a spokesman for "white supremacy."  The warning is clear for black dissidents, [...]

Blacks Like Trump?  Don't Blame Kanye.  The problem for Democrats is that blacks are leaving their political plantation in increasing droves.  In a bit of irony, they are pouring across ideologically open borders.  Heeding candidate Trump's call of "what [..] do you have to lose," they have found they had nothing to lose by embracing the rising job opportunities, declining unemployment, and reduced crime those racist Republicans were offering compared to life in the gerrymandered inner-city Bantustans where liberal Democrats have held sway for decades.  Kanye West represents that increasing stampede, but he is a symptom, not the cause.  He must be crazy, CNN and MSNBC tell blacks.

Liberalism:  An Intrinsically Uncivil Ideology.  [Scroll down]  Notice that the same media burbling over the Hillary-Holder call for a suspension of civility until liberals claw back to power tut-tutted Kanye West's remarks on Thursday [10/11/2018] in the Oval Office. [...] It was all too much for them.  MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, whose maturity level is roughly that of an elementary school student, declared Kanye West's presence in the Oval Office a degradation, though surely his high-spirited if rough remarks soiled that august office less than the pastimes of one of her favorite presidents, Bill Clinton.  The media's meltdown over Kanye's trip to the Oval Office reflects nothing more than its horrified realization that Trump is eating the left's lunch, poaching more and more voters from once-monopolized lib constituencies.  Apparently Kanye West is supposed to check with the central office of the Left's Ministry of Truth before opening his mouth.  Anything less is "surreal," according to the media.

Klavan: Kanye West Exposes The Left.  Bestselling author and Daily Wire podcast host Andrew Klavan took it to CNN on Friday's episode of "The Andrew Klavan Show."  Kanye West's meeting with President Trump, he explained, accomplished one great thing for the country:  it exposed the leftist media's true colors.  "So Kanye West hugged the President, that's the thing that drove everybody crazy.  That was the moment, that's the thing that drove them over the edge," Klavan said.  Klavan particularly zeroed in on CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon for their over-the-top language criticizing West, while also highlighting the rapper's persistence in taking on the Left.

Evidence Dems are panicking over black voters.  Blacks have done far better under Trump than Obama in terms of rising employment opportunities and rising wages.  The growth in manufacturing employment in particular has pushed up wages in the segments of the labor market with heavy black participation.  Few people of any color prefer life on food stamps and unemployment insurance to gainful employment at rising wages.

Herschel Walker calls for CNN to fire Don Lemon over 'racist' Kanye West criticism.  Football legend-turned-activist Herschel Walker is calling for CNN to fire Don Lemon after the "CNN Tonight" host laughed when rapper Kanye West was referred to as "the token negro of the Trump administration" during a segment that aired Tuesday night [10/9/2018].  The segment — which has been slammed as "racist" — began with Lemon asking if President Donald Trump is simply "using Kanye as a prop to win over black voters before the midterms."  CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers responded with a jab at West.  "Anti-intellectualism simply isn't cool," Sellers said.  "Kanye West is what happens when Negros don't read."

Why CNN Must Destroy Kanye West.  "Kanye West is what happens when negroes don't read," said CNN commentator Bakari Sellers Tuesday night.  "Donald Trump is going to use it and pervert it, and he's going to have somebody who can stand with him and take pictures."  "Black folks are about to trade Kanye in the racial draft," said CNN's Tara Setmayer.  "They've had it with him.  He's an attention whore like the president.  He's ... the token negro of the Trump administration."  "No one should be taking Kanye West seriously," she added.  "He clearly has issues; he's already been hospitalized."

Don Lemon mocks 'minstrel' Kanye West.  Not satisfied with presiding over a panel that called Kanye West an illiterate "token Negro," CNN host Don Lemon went on a rant Thursday [10/11/2018] in which he said the rap star was a mentally unbalanced "minstrel" being exploited by whites.  In a segment Thursday on his network's "The Situation Room" show, Mr. Lemon also said that every black person watching Mr. West's White House appearance earlier in the day was "cringing."

The Editor says...
It's nice of Don Lemon to speak on behalf of "every black person," but isn't he supposed to check with Jesse Jackson first?

CNN Slammed as 'Full Blown Racist' After Commentators Call Kanye West 'Token Negro'.  CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a "token negro."  "Kanye West is what happens when negroes don't read," CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.

In His First Day On The Job, Kavanaugh Hired As Many Black Law Clerks As RBG Has In Her Entire Tenure.  Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation's highest judicial tribunal.  With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court's hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools.  Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.

The Black Community's Mid-Term Surprise for Democrats.  The polling in the black community for Trump is light years ahead of any other Republican candidate.  That migration to Trump represents a migration to Republicans.  Democrat never envisioned Trump making such an impact.  They figured tagging Trump as a racist would quell any potential black support.

African-American Support for Trump Surges to 35%.  Evidence of a so-called "Kanye Effect" began to show up in the polls in April after the rapper Kanye West declared his support for President Trump.  A Reuters poll, conducted April 29th, put Trump's approval among black men at 22 percent, while the poll taken the month prior put that figure at 11 percent.  According to the latest figures out of Rasmussen, Trump's approval rating among voters is now 51 percent overall — with 35 percent support from blacks.

Kanye's Not Alone:  Blacks Are Deserting the Dems.  In the midst of the Kavanaugh madness, a fascinating development passed relatively under the radar Thursday [10/4/2018]. [...] Somebody isn't buying it — and it's not just Kanye West.  If this number grows just a little bit, the Democratic Party is in deep trouble.  The party relies for its electoral power on overwhelming support from African-Americans, a dependency in itself inherently racist and suffused with reactionary identity politics.

Kanye's Right; Slavery Never Ended Because Progressives Use the Law to Enslave.  The irony is absolutely delicious.  Republicans have been using the fact that Republican president Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and the Republican Party passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitutions as their shields against attacks of racism.  Now here is Kanye saying those accomplishments weren't really achieved.  Now, I will be honest.  I have no idea what Kanye West meant with this tweet.  I've watched Kanye West for years.  I'm not going to assume ignorance, manipulation, or trolling for the next album sale.  I'm sure he'll explain himself in due time.  However, I'd like to get some understanding to the conservatives and Republicans who jumped on the Kanye West bandwagon for all the wrong reasons.

Poll: Plurality of Latinos 'Less Likely to Vote' for Candidates Who Want to Abolish ICE.  A plurality of Latino voters are "less likely to vote" for a candidate in the 2018 midterm elections who supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll.  The poll, released on Sunday, found that 36% of Hispanic voters said they are "less likely to vote" for a candidate who "favors abolishing ICE" while 33% said they are "more likely to vote."  Another 26% said there is "no difference" and 5% said they were "not sure."

Ted Cruz Opponent Beto O'Rourke Says Police Are 'The New Jim Crow'.  At an event at Prairie View A&M University in Texas on Wednesday, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Beto O'Rourke agreed with the assertion that the police are "the new Jim Crow."  The Texas Democrat began his remarks by talking about the historic injustices against African-Americans in the criminal justice system, saying it began when prisons began colluding with local business and employers to arrest African-Americans for petty crime so they could force them to work on a chain gang.  "That injustice, to many more people here than I know firsthand, continues to persist today," Beto O'Rourke said.

Beto O'Rourke to Black American:  Illegal Immigrant Labor Needed for Cotton Gin.  During a town hall event on Wednesday night, Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) — running against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the Senate seat — told a black American who questioned his support of illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today's cotton pickers.  O'Rourke's remarks were made after a black American asked the congressman if he supported illegal aliens being given U.S. citizenship despite breaking the country's immigration laws.  O'Rourke responded by saying that it is illegal aliens who are working at cotton gins today.

Beto O'Rourke to Black Student:  Illegals Needed to Pick Cotton.  A truly incredible video posted from a Texas town hall Wednesday night shows Senate candidate Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke telling a black student that America needs illegal alien laborers to work cotton gin, comparing their work to slave labor.  "My question is, do you support granting citizenship and American-paid benefits to illegal aliens who violated our country to come here, who fly their foreign flags here, who have citizenship in their countries and whose families did absolutely not build this country, while black people are subject to things that you explained before?  You can answer yes or no, please," a black student asked O'Rourke.

Has Sen. Chuck Schumer's Own Racist History Comes Back To Bite Him?  Democrat Minority leader Chuck Schumer has always been one to call Republicans 'racist.' He's done it repeatedly to Donald Trump, tried to paste the label on the late Justice Alito and has promised to attack Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions,the judge who destroyed the Klu Klau Klan in Alabama as a 'racist' as well.  As it turns out, it appears Senator Schumer may be living in a glass house when it comes accusing anyone of racism.  As conservative talk show host Larry Elder relates, we have an eyewitness account of how Chuck Schumer started of his career as a New York State Assemblyman in 1974 by concocted a disgustingly racist scheme to push blacks out of a white neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.  He convinced people living in the neighborhood that if they supported him, he would use his clout to defraud the blacks living in the neighborhood and get rid of them.

Media Matters vs.  Blacks.  Having dispatched Alex Jones from most every public platform on the face of the earth, the left is looking to engage more targets.  With an insatiable appetite to remove conservative thought from the public square, they have found a new whipping boy to thrash.  His name is Jesse Lee Peterson, and his face is being plastered on liberal "Most Wanted" posters for his "white supremacist content."  In an odd twist, it turns out that Mr. Peterson is a black man whose family worked on a plantation in Alabama.  His personal history is replete with being born in the Jim Crow south and overcoming many obstacles.  He is someone who intimately understands racism.  But pay no attention, because Media Matters has labeled Peterson "a far-right radio host and media personality."  And his crime appears to be that he's successful.

Michelle Obama urges non-white women to vote.  Why does she assume they'll go Dem?  Former first lady Michelle Obama is partnering with Black Entertainment Television to prompt women of color to vote during the 2018 midterm elections in November.  Obama "has a special message" for women of color, in a one-minute advertisement released Sunday.  "Help your sisters, children, and congregations get registered and ready to vote!" BET tweeted.

Faking Your Way to Racial Equality.  The National Center for Fair and Open Testing argues that teachers illicitly boosting student test scores is endemic.  Such deception is particularly alluring at schools with large populations of underperforming minority students, where the dismal numbers can bring school closings or mass firings.  Such cheating has been documented in Atlanta; Baltimore; and Washington, D.C. as well as in schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and elsewhere.  They are, according to the center, just "the tip of the iceberg.  Cheating may simply entail erasing the wrong answers and replacing them with the correct ones.  Less blatant tactics include strongly hinting at the correct answer during the test under the guise of "helping" the puzzled test-taker, using similar test questions in classroom lessons, or just teaching the test and little else.  One teacher has even written a guide for potential cheaters that includes tips to minimize getting caught — for instance, allowing unauthorized extra time by putting a "do not enter" sign on the classroom door.

Leftists Are Now Advocating Racial Segregation.  If you don't like a leftist position, just wait a while.  It'll change.  A good example of this is how while liberals fought racial segregation decades ago, now they increasingly are advocating it.  Just consider that at George Mason University (GMU) recently, a separate orientation was held for black students.  As The College Fix reports, "The event was called the 'Black Freshman Orientation.'  Hosted by the Black Student Alliance, the additional orientation occurred on August 25 at the university.  It has become an annual event there."  "Incoming black freshmen at GMU did not have to attend the Black Freshman Orientation, and if they decided to attend, they still were required to go to the university's regular orientation as well, according to the university," the site continues.

University hosts separate orientation for black freshmen.  Incoming freshmen at George Mason University recently had the opportunity to attend another orientation created specifically for black students.  The event was called the "Black Freshman Orientation."  Hosted by the Black Student Alliance, the additional orientation occurred on August 25 at the university.  It has become an annual event there.  Incoming black freshmen at GMU did not have to attend the Black Freshman Orientation, and if they decided to attend, they still were required to go to the university's regular orientation as well, according to the university.

Enemies Within.  It is mind-boggling that without any evidence, leftists have successfully falsely branded Trump the same as Hitler in the minds of many of my fellow blacks.  In reality, Trump is the best thing for blacks since sliced bread.  Black unemployment is at historic lows.  I am encouraged that young blacks are on the national stage informing blacks about the American left's deceptions and betrayals.

6.3%: African-American Unemployment Rate Second-Lowest Ever.  The midterm election is about "safety and jobs," President Trump told a campaign rally in Montana Thursday night [9/6/2018].  He said the economy is "booming like never before," and on Friday, the unemployment report brought the president more good news: the unemployment rate for African Americans, 6.3 percent, is the second lowest on record (it was 5.9 percent in May); and job-growth remains strong.  For Hispanics, the unemployment rate increased two-tenths of a point from last month's record low of 4.5 percent.  And the overall unemployment rate remained at a low 3.9 percent.  The number of jobs added — 201,000 — exceeded analysts' expectations.

LBJ'S Democratic Plantation.  The progressive narrative begins by crediting President Lyndon Johnson almost single-handedly for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  This focus on LBJ is critical because progressives don't want to admit that proportionately, more Republicans in Congress voted for those laws than Democrats.  The main opposition to the civil rights movement didn't come from the Republican Party; it came from the Democratic Party.  These inconvenient truths are skipped through a singular focus on LBJ.  Progressives know that LBJ, in his early career, was a bigot and a segregationist.  He was part of the most racist wing of the Democratic Party.  Yet progressives like [Eric] Rauchway and his sidekick Kevin Kruse have turned LBJ into one of their great icons.

Kanye West Goes All In To Win Black Community Over For Trump.  Kanye West told a radio station during an interview on Wednesday that President Donald Trump wants to be the greatest president ever for the black community and Trump is going to "work towards" achieving that goal.  "I feel that he cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this," West told WGCI 107.5.  "And he will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he's got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can't be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community," West continued.

Dinesh D'Souza's Film 'Death of a Nation' Exposes Democrats' 'Big Lie'.  One of the most striking things revealed in the film is that the Democratic Party was behind slavery, is linked to the Ku Klux Klan and has a long history of racism, and yet Democrats and progressives today say Republicans are racist.

Candace Owens:  Paris Dennard Faces 'Public Lynching' for Supporting Trump.  Prominent conservative commentator Candace Owens tweeted Thursday morning that the media were attempting a "public lynching" of fellow black conservative Paris Dennard because he had proven an effective advocate for President Donald Trump.

Black Trump supporters aren't Republicans.  Some conservatives are buoyed by an uptick in approval of President Trump among black voters.  Rasmussen said it doubled in the past year to 36%.  Given that black voters supply one-fourth of the Democratic Party votes, that is not insignificant.  This is the result of two things.
  [#1]   Obama failed to deliver jobs to his black constituency.
  [#2]   President Trump has.

Trump Approval Ratings with Black Voters Soars to New All-Time High at 36%.  In the last ten presidential election cycles the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996.  If Donald Trump captured 25 percent of the African American vote he would win the 2020 election in a landslide.  If Republicans were to peel off even 25% of black voters from the Democrat Party — Democrats would be the minority party for decades.

Apoplectic critics can't answer Dinesh D'Souza's ideas.  The over the top attempt to quarantine and silence D'Souza's movie only serves to support his point:  that fascism emerged on the left.  What does D'Souza say in the movie.  Let me list a few points I took from it, all of which can be discussed rationally and calmly between people of good will.  On the national front,
  [#1]   Lincoln was a Republican, indeed the first Republican President.
  [#2]   The Democrats he ran against were largely supporters of slavery, both Southern Democrats and Northern Democrats.
  [#3]   The [Ku] Klux Klan was an organ of the Democratic Party designed to suppress voter rights in the South.
  [#4]   Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, was an arch segregationist, who showed Birth of a Nation at the White House, leading to a re-invigoration of the Klan in American life.
  [#5]   The segregationist Dixiecrats were Democrats, including George Wallace and most all of the the bestial Southern sheriffs during the Civil Rights Movement.
  [#6]   Many Democrat politicians basically had an agenda of keeping urban Northern blacks dependent and thus loyal to the Democratic Party.  So much so that some black leaders today are calling the urban ghettos the "urban plantation.
  [#7]   Republicans have been largely dense and oblivious to many of these problems, and kept aloof in the suburbs, leaving the field to corrupt big city boss Democrats.  Only one segregationist Democratic senator, Strom Thurmond, and one Democratic congressman actually switched parties.
  [#8]   Robert Byrd, a former Dragon of the Klan, remained a Democrat till his death and was lionized by the leaders of Democratic Party[.]

Democrats Have Become What They Say They Despise.  Earlier this week, Candace Owens, a young black conservative, was shouted out of a restaurant by a white crowd screaming obscenities and racial epithets at her and her dining companion, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk (who is white).  The police had to be called, and the mob shouted obnoxious slurs at the officers as well.  Owens tweeted:  "To be clear:  ANTIFA, an all-white fascist organization, just grew violent and attacked an all-black and Hispanic police force.  "Because I, a BLACK woman, was eating breakfast.  "Is this the civil rights era all over again?"  It is.  And many Democrats are on the wrong side.

Death of a Nation Movie Exposes History Embarrassing to American Left.  Don't expect the liberal media to give you an accurate review of this movie.  The Washington Post's scathing review offered little in way of telling readers what the movie was actually about, dismissing it as riddled with historical inaccuracies, without offering much in the way of examples.  While D'Souza certainly pushes the historical envelope at times, his motion picture is much closer to the truth than the "review" offered by the Post. [...] Perhaps most devastating for the Democrat myth that all the segregationists became Republicans, the film notes that only two out of dozens of office-holding segregationists in Congress switched to Republican — Albert Watson of the House and Strom Thurmond of the Senate.  On the contrary, as documented in the movie, Bill and Hillary Clinton actually praised arch-segregationist and former Klan recruiter Robert C. Byrd upon his death.

Black Pastor Calls for Crushing the Evil Welfare State.  Alex Newman spoke with Reverend Matthew Cummings about overcoming the welfare state that has swelled in the U.S.  [Video clip]

Why On Earth Do Minorities Still Vote Democrat?  [Scroll down]  In fact if anyone has a problem with the historic mistreatment of the Native American and recall their 'Trail of Tears', they can blame [Andrew] Jackson and his successor, Martin Van Buren for this.  It's a wonder that Fauxcahontas, Elizabeth Warren, who claims solidarity with Native Americans manages to do so and still be a Democrat.  I strongly recommend that seekers of the truth watch Mr. D'Souza's You Tube video 'exposing the secret life of LBJ'.  He asserts that LBJ was a former Klansman along with several other high ranking Democrats and that no Republican has ever owned a slave.  In fact so much of what we know about the civil rights movement in the '60's has been a tissue of lies and misinformation. [...] It was the Dixiecrats like Bull Conner, Lester Maddox and George Wallace who fought against the Civil Rights Act.  Al Gore's father, Sen. Al Gore Sr. was one of these and filibustered against its passage.

It's Not 'White Threat' Harming Our Politics, It's Tying Race To Destiny.  People vote as individuals, but progressives too often see them only as groups, the sum of their intersections.  The demographic argument suggests that DNA determines our votes more than free will does, in a weird secular pre-destinationism.  The tenor of that argument changed as 2016's election approached.  Neutral recitation of the facts gave way in some writers' work to gleeful anticipation of white people's diminution.  As the intersectional movement moved from academia to mainstream, some on the far-left dropped the powerful liberal idea of color-blind equality in favor of a system of permanent conflict between races, religions, ethnicities, and classes.  All differences were deemed vectors of oppression, and the cause of it all was white people.

Rasmussen: Black approval rating of Trump now at 29%.  If this figure reported in Rasmussen's daily presidential tracking poll Friday is anywhere close to accurate, Democrats are closing in on a crisis.  While to poll results available to the general public reported on the Rasmussen Reports website do not contain the racial breakdown (Rasmussen pays its bills by selling detailed breakdowns of its polling results to political pros), so notable was the figure that Rasmussen tweeted out a notice: [...]

Report: Abortion Accounts for 61% of Black Deaths in America.  A report Thursday [8/2/2018] analyzed research using data from the latest year for which all the pertinent information is available (2009) and found that induced abortion was responsible for 1.152 million deaths, making it the number one cause of death in the U.S. at nearly twice the number of deaths from heart disease (599,413) and cancer (567,628).  While abortion accounted for nearly a third of all U.S. deaths in 2009 (32.1 percent), more troubling still, it made up 61.1 percent of African American deaths, according to the study published in the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine (June 2016).

The Editor says...
I don't know if you black people have noticed, but the Democrats want to exterminate you.  If a continuous supply of food stamps is more important to you, then by all means vote Democrat!

Liberal Mob Attacks Sacramento Pastor for Sitting and Speaking to President Trump.  Earlier this week President Donald Trump met with a group of inner city pastors in the White House.  Paster Dr. Phillip Goudeaux from Sacramento told President Trump:  "Don't give up on California."  Now Pastor Goudeaux is facing backlash for sitting with and speaking to Donald Trump at the White House.

Doubts About the Victimhood Narrative.  If even a third of America's black citizens shared the views of Jason Hill, a 1985 Jamaican immigrant to this country, the Democratic Party as currently constituted would not exist.  Consequently, Hill and black Americans with similar views are despised and vilified by "compassionate" Dems and by blacks who've embraced the victim status assigned to them by Alt-Left politicians and academicians like Cornel West and Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Chicago's Blacks Turn against Rahmbo.  When President Trump announced that the unconstitutional DACA program, put in place by President Obama after Congress refused to pass it into law, would be allowed to expire unless Congress took action on border security, former White House chief of staff and current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (aka "Rahmbo") announced that Chicago would become a "Trump-free zone," a sanctuary city welcoming and protecting any and all illegal aliens. [...] The problem is that he forgot the beleaguered African-Americans in his city burdened by debt and high taxes as its citizens fight poverty, joblessness, and high crime rates.  They have dreams too, such as getting to school alive or being able to do their homework with a bullet piercing their bedroom window.

Dinesh D'Souza: 'Bigotry' Is 'Unifying Glue' for 'Progressives and the Democratic Party'.  D'Souza explained his latest book and documentary's shared title and thesis:  "The reason we did that title is a hundred years ago, a progressive Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, screened in the White House the movie Birth of a Nation, and the hero of the movie was the Ku Klux Klan.  Basically, the progressive Democrats were saying, 'We don't like the American founding.  Forget about all that.  We're starting the country all over again,' and I guess it's the thesis of my book and movie that if that logic is played out, America as we know it will be killed off.  Certainly the America of the founding will be extinguished."

Uh-oh!
Watch Hispanic And Black Faith Leaders Thank Trump One-By-One For 'Empowering' Them.  This week, President Trump hosted urban pastors at the White House for a roundtable on religion.  No networks covered the event, but the White House posted footage of the remarks on youtube afterward.  Trump opened up the meeting by saying "Throughout our history, America's churches and religious leaders have called for change and have inspired us to care for and bring hope back to those in need."  Trump then opened the floor to the mostly black or Hispanic pastors.  The pastors praised Trump as a "friend" who has "empowered" Christians in the White House.  Pastor Darrell Scott, longtime member of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, called Trump "the most pro-black President that we've had in our lifetime."

Black Pastor:  Trump 'Probably Going to Be... Most Pro-Black President That We've Had in Our Lifetime'.  Donald Trump will probably be "the most pro-black president we've had in our lifetime," Pastor Darrell Scott said during a White House meeting with inner city pastors Trump held on Wednesday [8/1/2018].  Scott said Trump "actually wants to prove something" to the black community while former President Barack Obama "didn't feel like he had to."

Getting Democrats to walk away.  The Walk Away movement by Democrats who now support President Trump was led by Candace Owens and Kanye West.  The movement is part of the plan to counter the Marxist approach of Democrats to divide people by race, sex, sex preference, and education in order to conquer America.  Republicans have tried going Democratic lite on social issues in a pathetic attempt to woo these demographic groups. [...] As for his outreach to African-Americans, Trump in August 2016 gave a series of speeches that were brilliant in their message and venues.  "Look at how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic Control.  To those hurting, I say: what do you have to lose by trying something new?" Donald John Trump told a rally.  In Dimondale, Michigan.  Population 1,243.  93% white.  He made similar speeches in other largely white, rural places before finally going to a black church in Detroit.  The press laughed.  They said he was wasting his time making his black speeches to white audiences.

How Far Will the Left Go?  All the Way.  [Scroll down]  Like an opportunistic cancer, the Left finds the weak spots and pounces, often retroactively.  The Declaration of Independence says "all men are created equal," and yet all men were manifestly not equal, and thus the American Founding is morally indefensible; that what the Founders meant were "equal in the eyes of God" and what the socialist Left means is "economically equal," is passed over.  Similarly, the reductive Left has transformed what we used to call Italians, Germans, French, English, Irish, Russians, Poles, Greeks, and other ethnic/national groups of European origin into "white people," the better to identify them as the "other" — freaks and monsters — and pit them against Latin America, Africa, and Asia in a cultural-Marxist reboot of the class struggle, now crudely and reprehensibly racialized.

The Top 50 Liberal Media Bias Examples.  [#9] KKK Double Standard:  There are two stories (or one story and a lack of the other story) that shows how differently the media treats conservatives and Democrats on the issue of the KKK and the two stories can be summed up in two names:  Trent Lott and Robert Byrd.  Even though the Democrat Party is the party from which the KKK was born, the media constantly burdens Republicans with the epithet of being Klan members.  In 2002 for instance, GOP Senate Majority leader Trent Lott from Mississippi attended a retirement party of long-time Senator Strom Thurmond, famed for his anti-Civil Rights activism of the early 1960s.  At the party Lott praised Thurmond's career and said that, "If the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either."  Lott later called this was a "poor choice of words."  The media, however, instantly whipped the story up into national news.  So much so, in fact, that Lott had to step down as GOP leader.  Lott's poor choice of words cost him his powerful position.  Some may say that it is good that someone with a racist past would be turned out of power and that the Old Media did its job properly.  But if defeating racism was really the media's goal, why did it never attack Democrat Senator Robert Byrd who became the longest serving Senator in history?  After all Robert Byrd was an actual member of the KKK in the 1930s and 40s, even served as a recruiter for that hate group.  Yet the media never bothered to question him on his membership in the KKK until 2005 only a few short years before his death.  Obvious destroying Trent Lott, not rooting out racism, was the Old Media's goal here and it illustrates well the left's double standard on the issue.

Pastor: Black Voters Should Leave Pro-Abortion Democrat Party:  "It's a Metaphorical Slave Ship".  A black pastor is telling it like it is wen it comes to the pro-abortion Democratic Party and black voters.  Bishop E.W. Jackson says the party has done nothing for black voters and it continues supporting unlimited abortions which prey on black babies.  In comments LifeNews received, Jackson said, "After eight years of the first black President, the black community is worse off now than it was when he was elected.  The Democrat Party has become nothing more than a metaphorical slave ship, holding black voters captive, taking them where they don't want to go, while telling them they're on a luxury cruise.  It is time to abandon ship."  In 2008, 96% of African-Americans voted for Obama.  Jackson believes they got "nothing in return for their loyalty."

Progressive politics have done nothing to help black America.  African Americans are the quintessential example of it means to be conservative.  Beyond the fact that a great majority are socially conservative, a great majority are also distrusting of the government because of hundreds of years of generational experience, and are skeptical of radical change because it typically negatively and disproportionately impacted them.  If you dive deeper, beyond politics, it is our discipline, perseverance, and ingenuity since slavery, coupled with the need to preserve our tradition and culture as a community that is not intrinsic values of the radical progressive left but are the greatest examples of traditional conservatism.  The effectiveness of America's radical left and their uncanny ability to usurp African American's natural ideological instincts for their warped utopian views are the most significant threat to African American progress.  Under the false pretense of cultural and identity politics, they have circumvented having to produce tangible results to holistically address the real concerns of African Americans.

Black Slaves, Muslim Masters: An appeal to American blacks.  Arabs and Muslims have black slaves today and hardly anyone, especially the leftist class which preens about its devotion to human rights, is screaming about this.  In five African nations — Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Sudan — blacks serve Arab/Muslim masters.  They are bought and sold like furniture.  They are worked until they drop, tortured, raped, forcibly converted to Islam, and murdered.  This has been going on for many years, but it only occasionally makes today's headlines.  This is an open secret.  Anyone can Google "blacks sold as slaves in Libya" and see video of slave markets.  I know Africans from Sudan and Nigeria and Mauritania who want to tell this story but they cannot get platforms.  Below is a short clip of the testimony of an escaped slave from Sudan, Francis Bok.  Here is his incredible story told in long form.  I have decided to help these people tell their story.  The people who need to hear it most are American blacks.

Fury as feminist activist says she's 'confused' seeing black man with pro-NRA and Tea Party bumper-stickers.  An activist author ignited a social media firestorm on Thursday after saying she was left "very confused" seeing a black man with a pro-NRA and Tea Party bumper sticker on his car.  Kimberley Johnson, a feminist contributor to HuffPost and the spokeswoman for the national advocacy group We Are Woman, was slammed for questioning why a black person would not embrace progressive politics.  "Out on the road the other day I saw an affluent black man driving a BMW with two bumper-stickers.  One was pro-NRA and the other one was a Tea Party sticker that read, 'Don't tread on me,'" she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.  "This left me very confused."

The Next American Revolution: #WalkAway.  Democrats who believe that they have a permanent hold on the African-American vote should take a look at how these voters view their position on immigration.  A recent Harvard-Harris survey found that African-Americans are the racial group most opposed to unlimited immigration.  Whereas 79 percent of whites want to prioritize legal immigrants based on what they can contribute to our society, fully 85 percent of African-Americans hold that view.  A party that advocates open borders and the abolition of ICE is going to get fewer and fewer of their votes.

Has Chuck Schumer's Own Racist History Comes Back To Bite Him?  Democrat Minority leader Chuck Schumer has always been one to call Republicans 'racist.' He's done it repeatedly to Donald Trump, tried to paste the label on the late Justice Alito and has promised to attack Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions,the judge who destroyed the Klu Klau Klan in Alabama as a 'racist' as well.  As it turns out, it appears Senator Schumer may be living in a glass house when it comes [to] accusing anyone of racism.

Illegal Aliens:  The New Black Vote for Democrats.  First it was the hilariously viral YouTube sensations "Diamond & Silk" supporting Trump during his 2016 Presidential campaign.  Then, it was Kanye West shocking the world with his vehement support of President Trump on TMZ Live, touting all the wonderful things that Trump has done for the Black community.  Remember, this is the same guy who said back in 2005 during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe that President Bush "doesn't care about Black people."  He has now woken up to the Democrat scam and is making an effort to wake his fellow Blacks up to it.  Then there was Candace Owens of Turning Point USA, who has been on an aggressive nationwide campaign exposing the Democratic Party for what it truly is — A communist, socialist, racist organization that has presided over the massive unemployment, massive genocide (via abortion), and massive economic slavery (in the form of family-destroying welfare programs) of poor Black minorities in the U.S. since the 1960s.  Then finally, your average everyday grassroots Black voter has finally woken up to the 50-year Democratic scam.

Asian Americans need to wise up and end our blind loyalty to the Democratic Party.  For all their smarts, Asian Americans can be pretty dumb.  They support Democrats in droves, and Democrats support race-based affirmative action.  Last week, a lawsuit revealed just how discriminatory that kind of decision-making can be.  At Harvard, racial balancing — in the guise of a personality score for applicants — appears to be systematically reducing the admission of Asian American students to the university.  The Harvard scandal contains a lot of takeaways, but here's the one I hope sticks with my fellow Asian Americans:  It's time for us to end our blind loyalty to the Democratic Party and support instead politicians who will promote our interests.

The Party Of Planned Parenthood Is Not A Family-Friendly Party.  The left opposes Trump and his attempts to halt illegal immigration for two reasons:  [#1] They need to replace the black voter, whose vote the Democrat party has depended on for the last 40 years, but who have recently realized the harm that liberalism has done to them and their families, and the replacement voters will be unemployed, poorly educated immigrants that the Democrat party will promise to house and feed in exchange for their vote.  [#2] Poor, uneducated immigrants are an easy weapon with which to criticize President Trump as he tries to keep his campaign promise to stop this illegal flow of invaders out of our country.

The Left and Children.  Even longer than they have ignored the right to life, American liberals have worked to build a massive welfare state that has played a terrible role in the destruction of the family — especially the black family.  Yesterday [6/20/2018], Rush Limbaugh again reminded Americans which political party enabled generations of children — again, especially black children — to be separated from their parents.  The Democrat Party exists on dependency, and people that escape it pose a problem.  So don't buy that the Democrats care about separated families.  Because, after all, the Democrat Party literally subsidized single motherhood in the black community for decades.  It was called AFDC.  The Democrat Party promoted a welfare policy that gave single women additional money for every child they had.  The father need not ever be around.  In many cases, the father was not even known, the father was not even identified because the Democrat Party assumed the role.

The Anti-Profiling Movement Is Killing Black Pedestrians.  A recent [Washington] Post article that focused on St. Louis led with the perfectly useless headline "Pedestrian deaths soar nationally as SUV use increases."  The reporter made the case that pedestrian deaths nationwide were up 46 percent from 2009 and attributed the increase to there being more SUVs on the road.  This correlation explained close to nothing.  From 2006 to 2013, as SUVs increased in number, pedestrian deaths declined, as did overall auto fatalities, the latter by 25 percent.

Black America's 'Stockholm Syndrome'.  For too long, black America has let its political voice and power be taken for granted.  When Kanye West recently suggested that African-Americans didn't need to be Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters quickly tried to put him in his place.  Waters told Kanye, in effect, that he needs permission — from his betters, presumably — to say what he believes.  In other words, don't talk out of turn; follow the thinking of the group.  She sounded like a plantation manager of old, insisting that everyone else follow the rules she and other black Democratic leaders set down for "their" people.  Black America's monolithic loyalty to the Democratic Party does not empower blacks, however.  If we are not "allowed" to entertain any political alternatives, we are left locked into a party that has not served our interests.  Call it a kind of collective Stockholm Syndrome:  The condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors.

Black America Walking Off the Cliff.  The pre-welfare black society understood the necessity for respect and responsibility.  From slavery until LBJ's War on Poverty programs, intact black American families were the norm.  The church was the glue that sealed biblical bindings in the hearts and minds of the family.  Fathers governed their households, and young men were less likely to become criminals.  Fornicators and adulterers were unwelcomed parasites.  Premarital pregnancies were a rarity, as they were a cause for shame and reproach.  In 1950, eighty-five years after slavery, the two-parent black household was 78%.  By the mid-sixties, black lives started to matter much less under LBJ's Great Society.  Now, just fifty-three years after the War on Poverty began, the once stable two-parent black household has disintegrated to an abysmal 27%, and the black church is all but silent!  The roots of this catastrophe were sown the minute the black church started trusting in government instead of God.

Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff Throws Tantrum Over Black Grandmother Escaping The Plantation.  And make no mistake, Mr. Schiff speaks for a great many among the liberal elite who are outraged a black grandmother who was imprisoned during the era of Bill Clinton, kept there during the two terms of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, had her sentence commuted by President Trump.  She even had the audacity to publicly thank the president for setting her free!  Apparently, Congressman Schiff feels she should have continued to rot in the white man's prison and most certainly should not be given the freedom to express gratitude to the only POTUS who apparently [cared] about her plight.

The Left Achieves Perfection.  At its core, the modern left is extremely racist.  To the left, blacks exist to vote for leftist candidates.  The technique that the left has embraced to ensure that blacks vote for them is to keep blacks poorly educated, in constant fear, and dependent on the government for their next meal.  Essentially, the modern left has created a new plantation system where taxpayers pay for the needs of blacks.  If a black person tries to leave the left's ideological plantation, he is vilified.  Compare what leftists say about Justice Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, and Candace Owens to what those same leftists say were unbearable racist slurs about Obama, and it's clear that unless blacks toe the leftist line, blacks are hated by the left.

I Have a Dream — About Gay Wedding Cakes.  Midway through the last century, bedrock legal principles about property rights and freedom of association were abrogated to deal with a specific, intractable problem:  We could not get Democrats to stop discriminating against blacks.  So Republicans, with very little Democratic help, passed a slew of laws saying:  No, even though you own that restaurant, you cannot discriminate against black customers.  And no, even though we are a free people, you cannot refuse to associate with black people in your clubs, universities or sports teams.  This should have been a one-time exception to the law for one specific group of people based on an emergency.  But Democrats, never wild about freedom in the first place, saw "civil rights" as a great gig.  Instead of civil rights being used to remedy historic injuries done to a specific group of people, they'd use "civil rights" as a false flag for all their pet projects.

Voters Think Young Blacks Doing Better Under Trump Than Obama.  Voters feel young black Americans are better off under President Trump than they were under Barack Obama, the nation's first black president.  The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey shows that 32% of Likely U.S. Voters believe life for young black Americans has gotten better since Trump's election.  Slightly more (36%) say life for these Americans has gotten worse, while 26% think it has stayed about the same.  But in March 2014, just 16% said life for young black Americans had gotten better since Obama's election five-and-a-half years earlier.  By July 2016 in Obama's final year in office, only 13% thought life was better for young blacks.  Even black voters are nearly twice as likely (28%) to say young black Americans are better off now than they were in the closing year of Obama's presidency (15%).

Whatever the Left Touches it Ruins.  The left has poisoned race relations.  America is the least racist multiracial society in the world.  On a daily basis, Americans of every race and ethnicity get along superbly.  But the black left and the white left constantly poison young minds with hate-filled diatribes against whites, "white privilege," "systemic racism," black dorms, black graduations, lies about the events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the like.

Trump's triumphs are driving his critics crazy.  When rapper Kayne West expressed his support for the young black conservative activist Candace Owens, and then went all the way in his apostasy by declaring his love for — horror of horrors — President Trump, you could practically hear leftist heads exploding all over America.  How could this be?  West is black.  He's cool.  He's popular.  So leftists believe West must hate President Trump, because they believe the president is a racist.  First the left lost their minds — but then they lost their credibility.  How?  By redirecting their hatred of Donald Trump to hatred of ... a black man.  Because now that he's backing President Trump, Kanye West is not really, you know, an authentic member of the black community anymore in the eyes of the Trump-haters.

How to tell Democrats are Racist:  The History.  The founder of the Democrat party owned slaves.  The Democrats fought to maintain slavery in the Civil War.  The Democrats founded the KKK.  The Democrats passed the Jim Crow laws; you know making Blacks drink from different water fountains.  Democrats fought against integrating Southern schools.  Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Democrats instituted a welfare system that destroyed the Black family.

Why Democrats Are Terrified of 'Woke Kanye'.  Turns out, when you're a famous musician with 28 million Twitter followers people are going to sit up and pay attention to what you tweet, regardless of the topic.  So when rapper Kanye West, a man who got over 41,000 likes for tweeting the word "decentralize," lit the social media world on fire last week with a series of tweets seeming to support President Trump, the world was quick to take notice.  Is one of the most successful recording artists of our generation actually 'waking up' to the folly of liberalism?  Has Kanye actually been red-pilled?

Can Kanye West lead a rebellion for black voters?  Two weeks ago, I wrote about Diamond and Silk, the black political commentary duo who have been deemed dangerous for the most peculiar of reasons — they are black AND conservative!  But now it's starting to look like a trend, and the political establishment is growing restless.  Indeed, the latest outburst of "free thought" among black Americans has the potential to change the political dynamic for years to come, thanks to the pivotal role of mega-star Kanye West.

What Leftists Stand For: 
  [#8]   They don't care that cheap illegal labor hurts black people by denying them jobs.
  [#9]   They don't care that their fake climate crisis will drive up energy costs and hurt the poor, who are disproportionately people of color.
  [#10]   They declare that giving inner-city black parents the choice of sending their kids to a school where they will get a good education is "racist."
  [#11]   They don't care that thousands of blacks are shot each year in Democratic-run cities.
  [#12]   They deny witness reports by black crime victims that show that blacks are more likely to commit crimes, though most blacks are law-abiding, and demand that blacks be incarcerated at the same rate as all other groups, ensuring that blacks continue to suffer from black-on-black crime.
  [#13]   They want to take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves.
  [#24]   They support discriminating against Asian-Americans based on their race.
  [#25]   They support discriminating against whites based on their race so long as leftist kids aren't discriminated against.
  [#26]   They reject equality of opportunity and embrace equality of result.

Chance the Rapper backs Kanye West: 'Black people don't have to be Democrats'.  Kanye West's blizzard of tweets supporting President Trump won the support of another major hip hop artist — Chance the Rapper.  Chance, whose real name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, retweeted one of Mr. West's thoughts about not having to agree with Mr. Trump on everything.  Chance then said Mr. West was fine mentally and the hubbub surrounding him was demeaning.  "Black people don't have to be democrats," Chance said in one tweet.

The High-Tech Lynching of Diamond and Silk.  [Scroll down]  The bottom line here is that the Democrats, already in panic mode over the phony Russia collusion probe evaporating in futility as true Democratic collusion and corruption are revealed, and as the Trump agenda, both domestic and foreign, is succeeding, are terrified that blacks are peeling away from their coalition.  Even a 5-percent swing among blacks would doom the Democratic Party.  Their ideological slavery must be maintained, and black conservatives speaking the truth must be destroyed.  Food stamp usage is in decline, as is black unemployment.  Wages are rising, as is black homeownership.  Congressional blacks like to insist that this is just a continuation of trends begun under Obama, but Obama did not cut regulations; cut taxes; boost domestic energy; rein in the EPA; and unleash entrepreneurs, black and white, freeing them to pursue their dreams unrestrained by government chains.  When you look at crime, particularly gang crime, drugs, and poverty, it is concentrated now in urban areas run by Democratic socialists and progressives.  What answer would the typical black Chicago resident give if asked if he was better off after eight years of Obama?

At the University of Texas, the Left Lynches Its Own.  An Antifa group at the University of Texas at Austin is calling for "revolutionary violence" against assistant professor Robert L. Reece after he wrote a column running afoul of feminist dogma.  Reece isn't the kind of academic that radical leftists typically attack.  Reece checks so many politically correct boxes that he'd normally be immune from criticism.  He's a young black sociologist from a poor community in Mississippi cotton country, deeply involved in issues of intense interest to the Left.  He writes for a publication of the race-obsessed, far-left Southern Poverty Law Center.  His academic research"revolves around the question 'What is race?' as well as inquiries into the historical origins of racial inequality, colorism/skin tone stratification, and racial fluidity."

Ignorance: The Greatest Threat to Black Americans.  Democrats refuse to hold blacks accountable for anything — black on black crime, epidemic school dropouts, out of wedlock births, and generational poverty.  Insidiously, Democrats have totally relieved blacks of all responsibility for their lives.  Democrats have tripled down on teaching black youths that everything wrong is the fault of "white privilege," systematic, cultural, and economic white racism in America.  Deadbeat, lazy blacks are quick to embrace the Democrats' its-all-whitey's-fault narrative.

Can America Survive the Latest Plague?  The left survives within a self-made mirage that uses well written speeches containing caring and poetic language and emotional appeals that appear to be on the side of good, protecting the weak and needy in society.  But in fact, the left exploits and manipulates both weak and poor to continue to remain in power.  Consider the infected American cities of Detroit, Baltimore, and Chicago, where the left has total control and can implement whatever programs it wants, and look at the result:  perpetual devastation, crime, and misery.

Liberals Have Only Helped Blacks Fail.  If black lives mattered to liberals, 17.3 million black women wouldn't have paid the progeny of Margaret Sanger's "Negro Project" to murder their babies.  If black lives mattered and liberal progressive policies actually helped — between 1976 and 2011, 94 percent of all blacks killed, wouldn't have been killed by other black people.  Without going into the rest of [Latonia] Westerfield's maudlin essay, her response validates what I have been saying all of my adult life, i.e., blacks are inculcated from cradle to grave to embrace being victims based upon color of skin.  To her kind there is nothing as insufferable as a "black" person who isn't a victim and who doesn't harbor deep-seated antipathy against America, (read: white people).

The leftist romance with lawlessness.  We could have a debate about whether legal residents who are not citizens — but in the country legally — should be represented in Congress.  But how dare any politician dilute the rights of legal American citizens by granting the exact same rights and representation in Congress to illegal aliens.  These are the same devious politicians who proclaim most loudly to want to protect and guarantee equal representation in Congress for minority citizens such as black Americans.  Yet they eagerly diminish that representation by lumping in illegal aliens.

DC lawmaker blames Jews for bad weather.  A DC lawmaker blamed a late-winter snowfall on a family of Jewish bankers — accusing them of controlling the climate and orchestrating natural disasters.  Council member Trayon White Sr. apologized for the comments he made in a since-deleted video on his official Facebook page posted Friday morning [3/16/2018] as snow fell over the capital.  "Man it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man.  Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation," White can be heard saying in the video, the Washington Post reported.

D.C. lawmaker says recent snowfall caused by 'Rothschilds controlling the climate'.  A D.C. lawmaker responded to a brief snowfall Friday by publishing a video in which he espoused a conspiracy theory that Jewish financiers control the weather.  D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) posted the video to his official Facebook page at 7:21 a.m. as snow flurries were hitting the nation's capital.

DC council member apologizes after blaming snowfall on Jewish bankers controlling climate.  A Washington D.C. council member apologized Sunday evening [3/18/2018] after he blamed a snow squall on a well-known Jewish banking dynasty.  In an Instagram post, Democrat Trayon White apologized to "the Jewish Community and anyone I have offended."  White made the comments on a Facebook video which was shot Friday morning through the windshield of a car driving through downtown Washington during snowfall.

Dick Durbin Calls No Amnesty 'Humanitarian Crisis' While Blacks Overly Unemployed in His State.  Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says that a lack of amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is a "humanitarian crisis," while black Americans continue to be overly unemployed in his home state of Illinois.  In the Senate on Monday, Durbin said President Trump's end to the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a national disaster but did not mention the fact that his state's unemployment rate for black Americans remains above the national average at nearly ten percent.

Desperately Hating Clarence Thomas.  Of all the desperate and futile attempts at revisionist history, few are as careless as the attempt to destroy the reputation of one of the finest Supreme Court justices this country has ever produced.  Now comes another volley.  New York magazine has assembled "The Case for Impeaching Clarence Thomas."  The author is longtime anti-Thomas journalist Jill Abramson.  [...] Justice Thomas has been a distinguished member of the Supreme Court for more than 26 years now.  In the years since, Abramson has assembled ... well, nothing.  Meanwhile, the case against Hill's unproven charges has grown only stronger, and Abramson's record of objectivity — if there ever was one — is evermore tattered.

Donald Trump is Forcing American Blacks to Pick a Side.  The most heinous reality that the straight-shooting 45th POTUS has uncovered is this: a good portion of the leftist media see most blacks and other dark-skinned minorities as sub-humans; and whether he knows it or not, Donald Trump is coming very close to removing, once and for all, the carefully and artfully applied paint from the face of a Beast that has been masquerading as Truth and Justice for far too long.  By goading the leftist media into talking about cultural issues that they really don't understand, the president has laid a trap and is exposing what has been obvious to traditional Americans with even the most basic common sense.  And in so doing he is demonstrating that the so-called intellectual prowess of many in the leftist media is nothing but an illusion.  And nowhere is the agenda-driven and shoddy analysis of these leftists more evident than when they talk about black people or anything concerning them.

I'm Still Cheering For Trump.  Trump was interrupted more than a hundred times by the applause of everyone in the chamber except a bunch of bitter and sullen Democrats.  The Democrats — some of them dressed in black as part of some phony protest — refused to show the slightest sign of approval for the president when he pointed out how well America's workers and the economy are doing.  Lowest black unemployment rate in recorded history?  Lowest Latino unemployment in history?  Lowest overall unemployment rate in years?  Republicans stood and cheered every time.  Democrats sat and stared with their arms folded.

Sadly, Another Black History Month.  Democrats are insidious enablers; nurturing problems in black communities by lowering cultural, moral, and intellectual standards for us in the name of compassion.  After all, according to Leftists, we black folks ain't too bright.  Democrats relieve blacks of any accountability or responsibility for their failure or success; claiming our fate rest solely in the hands of white America.  Notice how Democrats/Leftists are always advocating lowering the bar and giving us free stuff; addicting us to government freebies.  I am appalled by the Democrats' bigotry of lowered expectations regarding my fellow black Americans.

In their love for illegals, Democrats pitch the black community overboard.  Democrats at President Trump's State of the Union address refused to honor the parents of two girls in New York who were hunted down and beaten to death by a pack of MS-13 gang members — and the parents are angry about it.  According to Fox News, some Democrats may have actually booed them.  In the Democrats' minds, it's all about staying on message.  The killers were illegal immigrants and therefore were to be defended no matter what they did, because championing and encouraging illegal immigration is now the sole defining Democratic issue.  But this case is interesting because it pits them squarely against the black community, where the girls were from.

Democrats Dig Themselves Into A Hole After Trump's Speech.  [Scroll down]  At one point, Trump stated the fact that black unemployment is at historic lows.  This is a tremendous achievement, and one that every American should celebrate.  Trump wasn't even taking credit for it, he was just listing it as one of the many signs that the economy is doing better.  The reaction from Democrats — but especially from members of the liberal Black Caucus — who sat glowering in their seats, was incredible.  What is the message they are sending?  That it's not true?  (It is true.  No one denies it.)  That it's bad because it happened while Trump was president?  (Why should that matter?)  That they don't care?  The message they actually sent was that they are so blinded by their intense hatred of Trump that they can't even cheer the fact that their own constituents are doing well.

Democrats' Hatred Of Trump Is Going To Bring Them Down.  When [President] Trump summarized the successes of his first year in office, he emphasized how the prosperity of his first twelve months impacted the lives and hopes of ordinary Americans, wage laborers and others whom the eight years of the Obama presidency had left behind.  In doing so he exposed the Democrats in the most dramatic way imaginable.  Under his policies, he boasted, black and Hispanic unemployment are record lows.  As he said this and the Republican side of the house rose to its feet in applause the TV camera panned to the morose members of the Democrats' Black Caucus, sitting on their hands and showing America that the last thing they care about is their black constituents.  What they care about is their hatred for Trump, and about not disturbing the biggest lie of the political season:  that the White House is the headquarters of a "white supremacy" movement intent on keeping black Americans down and making them suffer.

Liberals Offended By Joe Kennedy's Spanish.  Rep. Joe Kennedy III addressed DACA recipients in Spanish during his response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night [1/30/2018].  Unfortunately for him, the liberal base may have found his attempts to be more offensive than they were honorable.  People pointed out his lack of fluency and the obvious attempt to pander to immigrants.  Multiple people noted that it could be "condescending" to assume that DACA recipients do not speak English and need to be addressed in Spanish.

The Shabby, Sophomoric Behavior of Democrats at the SOTU.  It is difficult to imagine a more galling demonstration of incivility than the Democrats in the room for Trump's SOTU speech.  They scowled, frowned, and sat on their hands throughout the speech.  They could hardly be bothered to acknowledge the heroes in the audience when they were introduced.  While the Dems brought illegal immigrants, Trump invited actual paragons of American character and the families of victims of illegal immigrant crimes, as well as a victim of North Korea.  It was embarrassing, like watching the anti-Semites in the UN stomp out of the room when Benjamin Netanyahu speaks.  How is it any different?  Our Democrats behave exactly like the most racist, intolerant people on the planet, and in their own Capitol.

Poll: Black Americans the Most Supportive of Dramatically Reducing Legal Immigration Levels.  Black Americans are the most supportive group in the United States of dramatically lower legal immigration levels, down from where the U.S. currently admits more than 1 million legal immigrants a year, a new poll reveals.  According to a detailed Harvard-Harris poll, black Americans are more likely than any other demographic group to support lower yearly legal immigration levels, down to a fourth of current immigration levels.

Real Americans vs.  Our Effete Elites.  [R]acism is contrivance, a sham invented by the left to disempower African Americans.  Convince them they are inferior, that that they need to be taken care of by the government and the democrats will remain in power forever!  Being the racists they are, projection came easy.  It has always been the left that assumes African-Americans need a leg up.  It is conservatives who have always embraced MLK's dictate about the content of character.  The left is all about skin color; to the right skin color is irrelevant.

Democrats acting as if Maxine Waters will embarrass them in SOTU response.  Quick, which Democratic Party standard-bearer brings the most recognition to mind:  Joe Kennedy the third, or Maxine Waters?  If you're like most people, the Democrat with the higher profile is Maxine Waters, a Democrat so visible and well-known she has the affectionate nickname among Democrats of "Auntie Maxine."  Kennedy is ... one of the Kennedys, gotta look up which one he is in his lineage, along with what kind of trouble he's been in with the law.  So it's weird stuff to see the noisy, flamboyant Waters being shunted off to the Black Entertainment Television network representing the Democrats in their response to President Trump's State of the Union address, while the bland, pedigreed Kennedy is being given the prime time slot for the wider-audience mainstream media response.  It certainly looks like ghettoization.  So much for the face of the Democratic Party.

An open letter to Democrat inner city residents and minorities.  Democrat policies are great for Washington bureaucrats and Democrat rich people and not so great for inner city residents, blacks, and Hispanics. [...] Whenever you vote Democrat, you get poorer and they get richer — and that's never going to change, because that's what always happens to poor people when Democrats are in power.  They get a lot of loving lip service, and some trickle-down welfare, but no wealth.  Instead, their communities just get worse and worse.

Dick Durbin Claims Amnesty Is 'Civil Rights Issue of Our Time'.  Democratic Senators believe amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants is the "civil rights issue of our time," declared Sen. Dick Durbin, just before he voted January 22 to end the 2018 budget filibuster.  Durbin's promotion of illegal immigrants above African-Americans and other Americans spotlights the party's decision that Americans' deficits in wealth, job opportunities, and education are subordinate to the party's strategy of allying with business to import foreign voters via the nation's mass-immigration laws.

Black activists shout 'Shame on you!', at Chicago aldermen supporting Obama Presidential Center.  Now that the huge monument to Barack Obama won't be a presidential library and is purely a private endeavor, the gift of precious park land belonging to the people of Chicago to a private group is questionable.  And federal permits are necessary for certain aspects of the planned center.  This isn't going to be simple or easy.  Plenty of people, black and of other races, are not thrilled with the impact the monument will have on their neighborhood, their parks, and their lives.

The pathetic results of the NFL kneeling spree.  What, exactly, did the NFL "take-a-knee" protests by wealthy black football players protesting racial injustice accomplish? [...] [T]he protests show that the black community of today is profoundly lacking in leadership.  That might be attributed to black leaders buying into the entire Democratic Party package in large numbers, leaving the black community with failed, corrupt one-party cities such as Detroit; lousy schools due to teachers unions' grip on power; abortion targeting and hitting black communities hardest, weakening the family structure; and the absence of a significant black business community due to the massive regulations imposed from Democratic rule.

Leftwing Racism Is Real And This Week Has Given Us Two Excellent Examples.  [R]acism is not only alive and well, it is living large in the progressive movement.  This is not unexpected.  It is only natural that a political movement that is so tied to racial and ethnic identity that they would feel right at home at the Wannsee Conference would lash out at anyone operating outsides the allowed bounds of behavior for racial and ethnic groups.  Tim Scott and Nikki Haley are trailblazers and these attacks are going to continue.

Dear Democrats:  Does Trump do anything that's not racist?  [Scroll down]  John Lewis and others always complain that blacks are imprisoned and blacks are killed at a much higher rate than their percentage of the population, but somehow they don't complain when Planned Parenthood aborts black babies at such a high percentage versus the population.  Why don't Civil Rights leaders complain, especially since the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, wanted eugenics to build a cleaner race?

Memo to John Lewis:  Democrats are the party of white racism.  Georgia Democrat Rep. John Lewis refused to attend the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum because President Trump was there, yet he would have been the first to condemn Trump had Trump not gone.  The irony is that much of the brutality, oppression, and denial of civil rights the museum records was committed by the party of white racism — the Democratic Party. [...] What really happened in Mississippi and throughout the South is that Democrats, who never got over losing the Civil War, sought to move blacks to a new plantation of oppression and suppression.  As one wag put it, the reason Democrats hate Republicans so much is that the Republicans took away their slaves.  All the Democrats have succeeded in doing is moving blacks to the urban plantations of inner cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago, all run by Democrats, where black children are preyed upon by black gangs, are trapped in failing schools, and have little or no job opportunities.

CNN Promotes 'White Nonsense Roundup:' White Liberals Who Save Victimized People Of Color On Social Media.  In a piece titled "These are your white allies on Facebook," CNN enthusiastically introduces us to a group called "White Nonsense Roundup" (WNR).  Essentially, the group of roughly 100 "white ally" volunteers take turns swooping in to save African American people (already suffering from the "emotional labor" of systemic racism) from social media arguments when issues of race arise.  You know, because these white liberals are "woke" enough to recognize their inherent sin of whiteness and, apparently along with CNN, think people of color need white people to fight their social media battles for them.

The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party.  Did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history?  Watch as Carol Swain, professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, shares the inconvenient history of the Democratic Party.  [Video clip]

What About the Crimes of Bill Clinton and Robert Byrd?  [West Virginia Sen. Robert] Byrd in his earlier days was a worse slime and more wretchedly vile than was anyone else who ever sat in the United States Senate.  He was as close as any U.S. Senator ever came to having been a Nazi.  He was the unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops of his Ku Klux Klan coven.  For those among recent American college graduates who have not studied American history, it is good to remember that the KKK burned crosses on the lawns of African Americans, other immigrants, and Catholics.  The Ku Klux Klan lynched African Americans.  When he was way old enough to know right from wrong — when he was as old as were some of the people now being permanently expunged from American society for wrongful sexual assaults and batteries they perpetrated at that same age — Robert Byrd was leading a group that burned crosses on lawns and that lynched blacks, kidnapping them and hanging them to die on trees.  That never stopped the Democrats from honoring him as one of their clan, revering him, idolizing him, and ensconcing the Byrd Rule in Senate lore.

Libs think you're Stupid.  Are You?  If stronger gun control laws are the answer then explain the following:  Chicago has strict gun control laws yet has one of the highest murder rates in the nation.  So far this year there have been 569 murders and over 40 have occurred in October alone with most of the victims being young blacks.  How did the assailants get their guns?  Is this being ignored because the blacks were killed by other blacks?  Why aren't there any Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago?  How on earth was Mayor Rahm Emanuel re-elected?

Released JFK Documents Suggest Lyndon Johnson Was Former KKK Member.  That [Lyndon B.] Johnson would have been a member of the Klan wouldn't be much of a surprise, frankly.  As a member of the Senate, he fought vigorously against civil rights legislation favored by President Eisenhower and Republicans.  Early in his political career, Johnson was guilty of all kinds of statements in support of Jim Crow laws in the South.  This isn't verified proof that Johnson was indeed part of the Klan.  But given the political circumstances from which he rose (deep South, Democrat-dominated Texas), it's not that far-fetched.  In fact, more likely than not, Johnson mixed around with a racist crowd to get his political start.

JFK Files:  Documents Show Democrat President Lyndon Johnson Was KKK Member.  News outlets from around the globe are furiously combing through the files in search of more pieces to the puzzling death of President John F. Kennedy.  President Trump released the remaining documents this weekend.  One of the recent documents shows Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was a KKK member.  This is not a surprise.

Racial Chasm Splits Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Ticket.  Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam's campaign became ensconced in controversy this week as the Northam campaign printed fliers that excluded a picture of African American running mate Justin Fairfax.  The Northam campaign created a Fairfax-free flier for the Democrat-leaning Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) that removes any reference to the lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Justin Fairfax because the union endorsed Ralph Northam but not Justin Fairfax.

The Congressional Black Caucus Prayer Breakfast:  The Great Black Deception.  The CBC Prayer Breakfast had nothing to do with Jesus or spreading His Love.  Quite the opposite.  It was about spreading hate for police, strengthening the Trump resistance, and strengthening black's bogus belief that they are victims in America.  The breakfast was also about despicably instilling hate and fear to register new Democrat voters.

Blacks, Crime, and the Bended Knee.  Whites comprise about 75 percent of America's population and they have had just about enough of the offensive accusations, protests, and moral outrage directed at them.  Yes, blacks were brought here centuries ago as slaves, but America did not originate slavery nor do we still practice slavery, as do parts of Africa and Muslim nations today.  In fact, America fought a civil war to end slavery.  It's been over 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation, thus, the fate of today's blacks rests not upon yesterday's slaveholders, but upon today's failed black leadership who have intentionally kept America's blacks on an imaginary plantation through the indoctrination of victimhood.

Obama, Please Go Away!  We know that black turnout in the last election was down from 2012, when black turnout was actually higher than white turnout.  The left screams "GOP vote suppression!," except that the lower turnout occurred in many instances in cities and states that Democrats control.  Maybe the fact that Obama was no longer on the ballot — and Hillary was — might explain why some black voters stayed home (or voted for Trump — he got the highest GOP share of the black vote in 30 years).  Or maybe blacks are tired of Democrats in general, and Obama in particular.  Obama is currently making plans for his presidential library and community action center to be located on the south side of Chicago.  The mostly black neighborhood where it is planned to be built isn't happy about it, and not buying Obama's happy talk about how it will bring prosperity to the neighborhood.

Obama's promises for presidential center may not be enough this time for African-Americans.  Now that [Barack H.] Obama is about to build his presidential center in Woodlawn's Jackson Park, some residents are wary of his ability to transform neighborhoods without doing harm to longtime residents who could end up displaced by gentrification.  A nasty fight over a community benefits agreement with the Obama Foundation has exposed an unexpected rift between the former president and some of the South Side residents who helped lift him to prominence.  Not everyone on the South Side, it seems, thinks Obama did enough for black folks during his eight years as president.  And as he prepares to build a presidential center that will pay tribute to his legacy, some South Siders are calling him out for what they consider broken promises.

Hillary Clinton Is the New David Duke.  Clinton is a believer in "identity politics" — the grandchild of slavery and the son of segregation, the latter two racist policies the political fuel for Clinton's party from its birth, not to mention the later "progressive movement" that was folded into the party by Woodrow Wilson.  The latter perhaps the most racist president in American history who celebrated the pro-Ku Klux Klan film Birth of a Nation in the White House when he had some down time from segregating the U.S. government and the U.S. military.  The real problem here is that the mainstream media rolls over for this, giving all those race-card playing progressives a pass.

The Mistake of Pandering to Antifa and Black Lives Matter.  The loudest black voices trashing America are super wealthy Leftist blacks who could not have achieved their mega success without the enthusiastic support of white America.  And yet, they are dissing our flag and national anthem.  They are cheerleaders for the destruction of historical monuments and clamoring for us to throw out the U.S. Constitution.  Shamefully, rich leftist blacks are using urban blacks as pawns to further the leftist socialist/progressive agenda.

The Name/Statue Game Has Barely Begun!.  [Scroll down]  And, of course, the Democratic Party has to go.  The party that tirelessly defended slavery, refused to accept defeat after the Civil War, employed the Ku Klux Klan as its militant arm, and enforced segregation for nearly a century after the war ended, should disband in shame.  Many of its leading politicians — former Klansman Robert Byrd, William Fulbright (no more Fulbright scholarships), Richard Russell (we have to rename the Russell Senate Office Building), Sam Ervin, and many more — were proud racists and segregationists.  Such a party should no longer be permitted to exist.

Woodrow Wilson.  FDR. Lyndon Johnson.  Robert Byrd.  ALL Democrats.  ALL Racists.  POTUS Trump was proven right yet again.  Just 24-hours after asking the media where the movement to destroy historical monuments would end — including tearing down those honoring figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, far left voices like Al Sharpton and others among within the media were demanding that very thing.  Why is it then these very same voices refuse to acknowledge the deeply racist history of the Democrat Party?  Where is the cry to destroy all the monuments devoted to figures like Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Lyndon Johnson, and Robert Byrd?

While we're toppling offensive symbols, what about the Democratic Party?  [Scroll down]  That's how it is with history.  You can't say the Democratic Party wasn't the slavery party.  It's historical fact.  Just as it is also historical fact that the Republican Party was the party of abolitionists.  I mentioned this to a Democrat who was all for the removal of Confederate statues in the South, and I told him I wasn't all that opposed, either.  He thought I was being sarcastic.  But when I reminded him that his party was the slavery party, the KKK party, the anti-civil rights party from the 1860s to the 1960s, and should be put into a museum, he made a sour face.  "You're really taking this satire too far," he said.

The DNC: America's Most Notorious Hate Group.  In December 2015, President Obama lauded [Black Lives Matter] for shining "sunlight" on the problem of racist policing in America, and on a subsequent occasion he likened BLM to the abolition and suffrage movements, which he said were also "contentious and messy" but ultimately noble.  And on July 13, 2016 — a mere six days after a BLM supporter in Dallas had shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others — Obama hosted three BLM leaders at a lengthy White House meeting along with the legendary racist anti-Semite, Al Sharpton.  By then, Sharpton was well-established as "Obama's go-to man on race."  Indeed, Obama had addressed Sharpton's National Action Network on multiple occasions, lauding the organization for its "commitment to fight injustice and inequality," and for doing work that was "so important to change America."  He had also characterized Sharpton as "a voice for the voiceless and ... dispossessed," and had praised Sharpton's "dedication to the righteous cause of perfecting our union."  From January 2009 through December 2014, Al Sharpton — the most visible racist anti-Semite of the past generation — visited the Obama White House on 72 separate occasions, including 5 one-on-one meetings with the president and 20 meetings with staff members or senior advisers.  And the DNC had no problem with any of this.

Report: ESPN Removes College Football Announcer From Game Because He's Named 'Robert Lee'.  ESPN confirmed via emailed statement that they did, indeed, take Robert Lee off the UVA game over the fact that his name was close to that of a Confederate general.

ESPN Exec on Robert Lee Controversy: 'No Biggie Until Someone Leaked it to Embarrass Us and Him'.  ESPN is now in full blown damage control mode over what would seem to be one of the more ridiculous self-made controversies in recent times — the decision to pull a broadcaster from a University of Virginia football game telecast because his name happens to be Robert Lee.  With cable news and social media reaction nearly universal in their criticism of ESPN, the Worldwide Leader is looking to calm the outcry from those on the left and the right over the decision.

ESPN, the worldwide leader in liberal idiocy.  So let me ask, "what if I told you that ESPN decided to pull an Asian-American announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee?"  Your answer would probably be, "you're making it up."  But I'm not.  It is reliably reported that Robert Lee was slated to call Virginia's game on September 2 against William and Mary, but because of events in Charlottesville, which originated with a dispute over removing a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, he has been reassigned.

ESPN Pulls Game Announcer Robert Lee Because His Name Is Too "Triggering".  If ever you doubted that ESPN was the sporting epicenter of liberalism, well, consider this the day you can put those doubts to rest.  In what can only be considered the most ridiculous, over-the-top, example of political correctness running amok ESPN has pulled a college football announcer from the game between William & Mary vs the University of Virginia because his name is Robert Lee.  Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up.  Oh, and Robert Lee is Asian (pictured left) but even his ethnicity couldn't save him from the executive level stupidity and delicate sensibilities of ESPN.

ESPN Pulls Announcer from UVa Football Game -- Because His Name Is Robert Lee.  The man shown to the left is sportscaster Robert Lee.  The man to the right is Confederate General Robert E. Lee.  ESPN was afraid that viewers would mix them up.  Mr. Lee (the one who didn't die in 1870) was scheduled to announce next weekend's University of Virginia football game against William and Mary.  This match-up will be hosted in Charlottesville, which has a statue of Gen. Lee (who never provided NCAA play-by-play).  ESPN decided that this was far too confusing for their viewers to process.

Asian Announcer Pulled off VA Football Game Because of His Name.  The cultural totalitarians at ESPN pulled an Asian man off the Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee, the same as Confederate General Robert E. Lee.  These people are crazy.

The Editor says...
Ordinary viewers don't care what sports announcers' names are.  It doesn't matter if the commentator's name is Chuck Roast or Patty O'Furniture:  The names will be forgotten at the end of the broadcast, or about two seconds after the last time the names appear at the bottom of your TV screen.  (And if those names never came up in superimposed text, who would notice?)  I suspect that even the most rabid sports fan can't recall the names of the announcers on any televised sporting event they saw last week.

Change the sheets and kiss the Byrd statue goodbye, West Virginia.  Outside West Virginia's magnificent Capitol, protesters have demanded the removal of a statue of Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general from a Union state.  He's easy money.  When does the state remove the statue of Bob Byrd inside the Capitol?  In the Rotunda no less.

Democrats:  Explain What Obama Is Doing In This Pic.  If the anti-Confederate crusade teaches us anything, it's that history is obligated to remember you for your worst sins, not your best deeds.

Will The Left Start Calling For New York To Be Renamed?  Ever since the Charlottesville protests, the Left has ramped up their crusade against Confederate monuments and street named after Confederate generals.  Using their logic, they should be calling for renaming the leftist mecca of New York, whose namesake is derived from a slave trader.  The Daily Caller reminded everyone that New York is named after the former duke of York, James Stuart, who would eventually become King James II.  James formed the Royal African Company (RAC), which eventually "became the largest single company involved in the slave trade," according to a 1999 UNESCO paper.  The RAC traded an average of 5,000 slaves per year from 1680-6 and a total of 30,000 from 1680-1700.  The company remained in the slave trading industry until it moved to trading gold dust and ivory in 1731.

Capitol's Confederate cleansing poses difficult decisions for Democrats.  Cleansing the Capitol of blemishes of American history could be a hard task.  As Democratic leaders threw their support Thursday [8/17/2017] behind a proposal to take down any statue connected with the Confederacy, President Trump wondered where they would draw the line.  Sen. Cory A. Booker, the New Jersey Democrat who called for culling the Confederacy, did not say what should be done about Richard Stockton, a slave owner who is one of his state's contributions to the Capitol Collection.  Nor did Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer's office respond to a question about whether his office should be renamed from the Robert C. Byrd Rooms — as homage to one of his predecessors as the Democratic leader, who was at one time a KKK member.

The Editor says...
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was more than just a member of the KKK.  He was an officer in the KKK.  An organizer and recruiter for the Klan.  And he is a Democratic Party hero to this day, because of all the pork-barrel spending he proudly brought to his home state.

If Democrats Want Racism Removed There Are 12 Memorials That Need To Go — They Won't Like It.  Robert Byrd is perhaps the most notable example.  The late senator from West Virginia was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, rising to the rank of "exalted cyclops", and unsurprisingly filibustered the Civil Rights Act in 1964.  He's honored throughout West Virginia: [...] Yet no one is complaining about memorials to an actual Klansman who opposed the Civil Rights Act?  President Lyndon B. Johnson was also a reported racist, allegedly calling the Civil Rights Act the "n----- bill".  He is memorialized with the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac.  President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not only a socialist, but also ordered for Japanese-Americans to be held in internment camps, something almost universally condemned today.  He is honored at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington DC.  Presidents Andrew Johnson and Woodrow Wilson were also reportedly racist, yet both also have memorials standing in their name.

When Does the Robert Byrd Statue Get Torn Down at the U.S. Capitol?  Since left wing domestic terrorists are insistent on removing anything 'offensive' from history by tearing down confederate statues, why the is the Robert Byrd statue still standing at the U.S. Capitol?  You remember Robert Byrd don't you?  Democrat Senate leader from the 1950's until 2010?  The same Robert Byrd who voted against the civil rights act in the 1960's.  Also the same Robert Byrd who was a KKK recruiter and grand dragon.

Why Trump is better for black America than Obama ever was.  I've been in the conservative movement for more than 30 years and have never once met or associated with a white supremacist.  I don't know who David Duke is, nor do I know any member of a racist group.  If they did show up at any conservative meeting, they would be unceremoniously tossed out.  Conservatives stand for equality of opportunity, equal justice under the law, and a colorblind society.  We also believe in results, not intentions.  Liberals tend to have horrible results with their good intentions when it comes to economic policy, especially as it pertains to black Americans.  Polls show consistently that what blacks care most about today is jobs and economic opportunity.

Al Sharpton Criticizes Ivanka Trump with Worst Grammar You've Ever Seen!  The Reverend Al Sharpton is attacking Ivanka Trump.  Even worse, he's supposed to be a gifted speaker.  I don't see any indication of that, myself, but Democrats are falling over themselves to christen terrible speakers on the left as being shining orators.

Black activists tell Democrats:  Put an African American on 2020 ticket.  African American activists have a message for Democrats:  If you want to win back the White House, strongly consider a black person on the ticket.  On their list are a growing roster of black politicians, notably Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J. and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., former Attorney General Eric Holder and Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts.

California's Judicial Council racial sensitivity bureaucrats dress up as black convicts for office party.  If anyone needed proof that California is over-larded with do-nothing, malevolent bureaucrats, maybe the Judicial Council's Halloween party, which featured racial sensitivity bosses dressed in blackface and turning their cubicles into jail cells, is just that example.  Sure enough, it's an agency that oversees racial sensitivity programs for California's court system.

Where do you fit on the liberal totem pole?
California Democrats Want Data on Lobbyists' Race, Sexual Orientation.  Democrats in the California state legislature are asking lobbyists to provide data on the race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation of their firms' employees — while the state refuses to give voter data to President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission.  The Sacramento Bee reports that the leaders of the "Legislative Asian Pacific Islander, Black, Jewish, Latino, LGBT and Women's caucuses" sent letters "to more than 400 lobbying firms, associations and major groups that employ lobbyists" asking for them to provide data on their employees, including their sexuality.

Rev. Jesse Peterson:  Things 'Got Worse Under Barack Obama' for Black Americans.  Preacher and author Jesse Lee Peterson, who grew up on the Alabama plantation where his ancestors once toiled as slaves, said some black Americans suffer in America today because of the "destruction of the family — not because of "racism" — and that during the eight years of President Barack Obama, life "got worse" for black Americans.  During an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, July 3, Peterson said liberals have dominated the policies and lawmaking in many major cities for decades and those policies have failed, especially for minorities.  But because liberals have no new ideas, they demonize their opponents.

Fancy Names for Left-Wing Anti-Semitism.  It was a Chicago weekend filled with gay pride events, with friends and families cheering on the marchers.  But a dark cloud loomed over one event.  When some lesbians showed up at the "Dyke March" with banners that included a Star of David, they were booted out.  The Jewish symbol "made us feel unsafe," the organizers said.  As the blues-rock singer Delbert McClinton once wrote, "If you can't lie no better than that, you might as well tell the truth."

Jason Riley's False Black Power published today.  Jason Riley of the Manhattan Institute, whom you may recognize as a frequent panelist on Fox News's Special Report, has written an elegant short book that makes a powerful case on the solution to race relations in the United States.  As the title indicates, Riley believes that America's African-American community has been badly served by the emphasis on achieving political power as a means to advance.

Why Obama's presidency didn't lead to black progress.  The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was followed by large increases in black elected officials.  In the Deep South, black officeholders grew from 100 in 1964 to 4,300 in 1978.  By the early 1980s, major US cities with large black populations, such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia, had elected black mayors.  Between 1970 and 2010, the number of black elected officials nationwide increased from fewer than 1,500 to more than 10,000.  Yet the socioeconomic progress that was supposed to follow in the wake of these political gains never materialized.  During an era of growing black political influence, blacks as a group progressed at a slower rate than whites, and the black poor actually lost ground.

Hardly Walt's Disney.  The Magic Kingdom became the place of nightmares recently.  In October of 2014, with no warning, Disney informed hundreds of their information technology (IT) workers they had three months left on the job.  If the employees wanted to collect their severance, they would have to train their replacements.  For three excruciating months, Disney forced their employees to train foreign workers brought into the country to replace them.  The foreign-born workers were allowed to come into the country via the H-1B visa program. [...] Essentially, Disney has gone into the indentured servitude business.  The foreign employees cannot complain or ask for more money for fear of getting fired.  If they are fired, their visas are revoked and they are kicked out of the country.

U.S. Twitter Erupts Over News That Hillary Clinton Used Black Prison Labor While First Lady Of Arkansas.  Twitter users have reacted with surprise and fury over excerpts from Hillary Clinton's 1996 book It Takes A Village.  On June 6, Jeanette Jing, an activist with over 33,000 followers on Twitter who supports Clinton's Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared two pages of the work in which Clinton reminisces about the black prisoners who worked in the Arkansas governor's mansion she shared with her husband, Bill Clinton, who led the state from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.

Bill Maher and Perpetual Adolescence.  Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" show to promote his new book, "The Vanishing American Adult:  Our Coming of Age Crisis — And How To Build a Culture of Self Reliance."  Surely Sasse didn't expect this routine publicity spot for his book to turn into a media storm.  But thanks to Bill Maher's infamous and irreverent mouth, this is what happened.  Maher, of course, makes his living being irreverent.  But now he has discovered that even a rich left-wing provocateur has lines he can't cross.  And using the classic word of black denigration — the N-word — is one of them.  Now he has apologized — surely not out of any personal remorse but out of career damage control.  Whether he will pay a price for his casual exploitation of the pain of others remains to be seen.

How Democrats Hoodwink Blacks.  Since its founding in the late 1820s, the Democratic Party has defended slavery, started the Civil War and opposed Reconstruction.  The Democratic Party imposed segregation.  Its members engaged in the lynchings of blacks and opposed the civil rights acts of the 1950s and '60s.  During Reconstruction, hundreds of black men were elected to Southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the U.S. Congress by 1900.  The Democratic Party did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.  President Woodrow Wilson was a Progressive Democrat and an avowed racist who shared many views with the Ku Klux Klan.  He resegregated the federal civil service.  He screened the racist film "The Birth of a Nation," originally titled "The Clansman," at the White House; it was the very first movie ever played at the White House.  What was the party of Orval Faubus, the Arkansas governor who blocked the desegregation of Little Rock schools and defied the U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous 1954 Brown v.  Board of Education decision?  What was the party of Theophilus Eugene Connor, known as Bull Connor, who, as city commissioner, set vicious dogs, fire hoses and billy clubs on black civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham, Alabama? [...] What was the political party of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who, during the 1960s civil rights movement, declared that he stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever" and blocked black students from entering the University of Alabama?

The Democrats' Second Secession & America's New Civil War.  [Scroll down]  The 2016 platform of the Democratic Party vows "a societal transformation" that will "end institutional and systemic racism in our society."  This is the ideology of cultural Marxism.  "Institutional racism" as a systemic American problem is a political fiction.  Americans outlawed "institutional racism" half a century ago with the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965.  Any incidence of institutional racism today is actionable in the courts — the utra-liberal courts that threw out Trump's executive orders on extra-legal grounds because of off-the-cuff remarks he made on the campaign trail.  "Systemic racism" and "institutional racism" are anti-American mythologies that drive the Democratic Party's political agendas.

Che Guevara was no hero, he was a racist.  Jay-Z, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Depp — who have all been spotted in Guevara t-shirts in the last decade — have, as [Senator Marco] Rubio correctly noted, largely ignored the issue.  Yet, some leftist defenders of Guevara do occasionally deal with Guevara's views on race.

What Ever Happened to the Civil Rights Movement?  If you're a Democrat, and your program is wealth redistribution — with a big cut for yourself as a ruling middleman — it turns out that racism is a much better rationale than inequality for robbing selected Peter to pay collective Paul.

Do Leftists Know What Their Hero Karl Marx Thought of Blacks, Jews, and Mexicans?  May Day celebrations were held all across the fruited plain, with leftist radicals and unionists worshipping the ideals of communism.  Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives.  It was created by Karl Marx, who — along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels — wrote a pamphlet called "Manifesto of the Communist Party."  In 1867, Marx wrote the first volume of "Das Kapital."  The second and third volumes were published posthumously, edited by Engels.  Few people who call themselves Marxists have ever even bothered to read "Das Kapital."  If one did read it, he would see that people who call themselves Marxists have little in common with Marx.

Homeschooling: Restoring Parents' Right to Raise Their Children as God Intended.  Years ago, I spoke to a class of black students at a Baltimore middle school.  I asked each student to state their name.  Stunningly, I had to ask several students to repeat their name numerous times before I understood what they were saying.  They mumbled.  I thought, why would their teacher allow such lazy speech?  It is the bigotry of low expectations.

Another American City Destroyed by the Democrats.  [As Peter Collier] points out, the vast majority of America's voiceless, powerless, and impoverished people are concentrated in cities that have been run exclusively by Democrats for decades — even generations — without interruption.  These are cities where stratospheric rates of crime, poverty, unemployment, out-of-wedlock births, homes without fathers and failed school systems have become a way of life — along with oppressive and confiscatory taxes whose only discernible achievement is to keep the leaky ship of city government afloat for as long as possible before it is inevitably capsized by economic and social calamity.  Minneapolis, Minnesota is perhaps the least likely case in point.  Camouflaged by the state as a whole, a synonym for plainspoken stability, it is just one of the many American cities that were once thriving centers of industry, prosperity and optimism — until Democrats took them over.

Democrats Said Melania's White Dress Was Racist, Then Wore White to Trump's Speech.  When Republicans wear white, it's because they're trying to subliminally convey how much they hate black people.  When Democrats wear white, it's because they love women, liberty, and progress.

In February, Democrats Wrap Up Black Amnesia Month.  Democrats stood shoulder to shoulder for decades with the late U.S. senator and former Klansman Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.).  As the Washington Post explained, Byrd recruited 150 Klansmen for the Crab Orchard, W.Va., KKK.  His local chapter unanimously elected him "Exalted Cyclops."  Byrd wrote the KKK's Imperial Wizard in 1946:  "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."  Democrats ignored all of this and embraced Byrd as their Senate leader as recently as 1989.  Hillary Clinton called Byrd "my friend and mentor."  At Byrd's July 2010 funeral, President Obama eulogized this hatemonger:  "It seems to me that his life bent toward justice."  Compare Democrats' half century of solidarity with Byrd, an actual Ku Klux Klan leader, with their unbridled, race-fueled vitriol against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a non-KKK alumnus man who helped steer Klansman Henry Francis Hays into Alabama's electric chair.

Why Social-Justice Warriors Think It's Okay to Be Racist Towards Asians.  The same self-proclaimed liberals who tweet BlackLivesMatter and ChangeTheName, who work for a social-media network that fills its YouTube page with explainers telling you all you need to know about racism, have revealed a shocking blind spot when it comes to racism against Asian-Americans.

Diversify this.  Along with his remarked-upon shortfalls in diplomacy, nuance, finesse, rationality and often good manners, our 45th president has also been docked for his diversity shortfall.  This means he is surrounded by too many persons of pallor and of masculinity, in other words, by white males. [...] Trump could have found some more people of qualification with additional melanin and without the Y chromosome had he looked harder, but the fact remains that Republicans face an additional problem concerning diversity that their critics don't mention:  No sooner do they elect or appoint a female, Hispanic, black and/or Asian to any post whatsoever than that person loses all authenticity as a member of whatever group he or she may belong to.  Thus they become, in the eyes of the press and the Democrats, an imposter, a sell-out, a traitor, a Quisling, a monster, a fraud.

Ted Cruz Is Right about the Democrats and Racism.  Psychiatrists call the phenomena Warren exhibited as transference, the ascribing to others the faults you yourself possess.  Warren attempted to call former Sen. Jeff Sessions a "racist" and, by implication, his party and President Trump as well, on the Senate floor, a severe breech of protocol.  As Sen. Cruz pointed out in his reaction, Sen. Warren and her party had better look in the mirror of history: [...]

Not So Fast, UN: The US Owes No 'Reparations' to Blacks.  Though our racial history is undeniable, also undeniable is that most racial woes here were caused by the party of history blackout — the Democrats.  Let's get that history straight — a history with few teaching it and fewer knowing it.  Somewhere it's been said that one is a member of the Democratic Party by either decision, or deceit, meaning ignorance of their modus operandi.  The Democratic Party is irrevocably and inextricably tied to the racial attitudes, policy, organizations, violence and lynching in this nation's past while those more sympathetic Republicans, and particularly white men, are often referred to by that resurrected, hit-term, racist, the ne plus ultra label of the shrill and vitriolic left.

Immigration Rulings Continue Democrats' Strategy to Collect Votes.  The Democratic Party has long established itself as an "identity group" party.  It has divided the nation up into a list of groups of persons based on ethnicity and race and targeted these groups in their campaigns.  Slogans such as "black lives matter" are intended to influence voters into believing that the Democratic Party alone sympathizes with and will act, using government control of agencies and benefits, to improve the lives of those who are members of these groups.  These actions by the Democrats have a clearly defined and troubling theme in common:  the manipulation of groups of human beings into regions under Democratic control so as to build up and exploit their numbers.  In return, these groups support the Democratic Party and maintain its political power.

Trump Overseeing the Destruction of the Democrat Coalition.  [Scroll down]  The "KKKrazy glue" that holds the Democrats together is starting to dry out.  Last week's Women's March on Washington was the biggest anti-Trump demonstration yet.  There was just one problem:  the conspicuous absence of minorities.  Various Black Lives Matter groups spoke out about the absence of colored attendees.  Even before the event, the predominately white presence behind the march was a big point of contention among organizers.  One BLM activist took to Instagram to lecture white women on their inherent privilege and demanded they start "listening more, talking less, spend time observing, taking in media and art created by people of color, researching, and unlearning the things you have been taught about this country."  So much for feminine togetherness!

The Democratic party has lost its mind — and its soul.  Democrats claim to stand for the poor, immigrants and nonwhites.  Yet given a chance to actually support someone who is dedicated to improving education for all America's children, especially those trapped in failing urban schools, the Dems said no, [emphatically] no.  Joined by two Republicans, they stood in the schoolhouse door to block vital change, casting their lot with teachers unions that fear reform the way a vampire fears garlic.  Throw away all the subtexts and subterfuge, a defense of the rotten status quo is the only explanation for the bid to block DeVos.  The teachers unions pulled the strings, and the political puppets danced to their masters' tune.

The Breathtaking Hypocrisy of Senate Democrats.  In 1937, leftist icon Franklin Roosevelt appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States Attorney General Hugo Black, a man who had actually been a member of the Ku Klux Klan and never denied that fact. [...] House Democrats chose for majority whip a man who openly and clearly advocated "white supremacy," John Sparkman.  Senate Democrats chose Sparkman to be chairman of three important Senate committees.  His overt racism and links to the Ku Klux Klan were publicly called out by Republicans, but Democrats simply ignored these.  How openly did Democrats accept this Senate Democrat who was overtly opposed to civil rights for blacks?  Senator John Sparkman was selected by Adlai Stevenson to be his running mate on the 1952 Democrat presidential ticket, and not one single Senate Democrat opposed this ticket.

Cory Booker And The Party Of Robert Byrd.  The Democratic bench is thin these days and perhaps Cory Booker thought the crisis a Democratic Party decimated by the policies of Barack Obama would be a terrible thing to waste.  In, as Democrats might say, an unprecedented move, Cory Booker stepped to the plate as the designated character assassin of fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions.  It was a forum of great attention that perhaps Booker thought might launch a 2020 presidential run like another freshman Senator, Barack Obama, whose 2004 Democratic Convention speech launched his presidential campaign.

On Fire:  The Racist Anti-Racists at MTV News.  On Tuesday [1/10/2017], just before the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee and Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions kicked off, an MTV News reporter demonstrated his high and mighty commitment to racial tolerance ... by mocking Sen. Sessions' half-Asian granddaughter.  Sessions' daughter, Ruth, is married to Asian-American John Walk.  They have four girls.  Upon spotting Sessions with one of his multiracial granddaughters sitting on his lap as he waited for the proceedings to begin, MTV News "culture writer" Ira Madison III tweeted a photo of them and snarked:  "Sessions, sir, kindly return this Asian baby to the Toys 'R' Us you stole her from."  So much for liberals celebrating diversity.  So much for Michelle Obama's rallying cry to the left that "our motto is, when they go low, we go high."

At Sessions' hearing, Dems live up to the party's tradition of racism.  Like tired old racists clinging to their discredited past and divisive politics, Democrats wheezed exhaustively on their racial dogwhistles Tuesday in their increasingly futile bid to derail Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination to become the next attorney general.  The disgraceful charade proved nothing except that Democrats have learned absolutely zilch since suffering a devastating rejection by voters in November's election, in which they shamelessly and relentlessly tried segregating the country along the lines of race, religion and sex.

Hope and humility.  [Scroll down]  Humility is the polar opposite of what Michelle Obama displayed to Oprah and what the president has mirrored during his eight years in office.  Throughout his presidency, you might have thought the pronoun "I" was his first initial for all the times he referred to himself.  The Obamas could have offered real hope, especially in the hearts of African-American children, by leading the poor among them out of failing inner-city schools and giving their parents a choice of where to send them for a better education, which would have led to a better life.  They rightly sent their daughters to elite private schools, rather than bad D.C. Public Schools, but denied that choice to those less affluent, thus perpetuating a spirit of hopelessness in those voters who had hoped for something beyond a "let's move" exercise program and a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.

Illinois has the Highest Black Unemployment Rate in the Country.  Illinois has maintained the horrible distinction of having the nation's highest black unemployment rate for the 15th month in a row, according to a new analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, or EPI.  Illinois' black unemployment rate is 14.2 percent, compared to the next highest state, Pennsylvania, at 11.8 percent.  Illinois' slow economic growth and weak industrial job creation, along with heavy regulations on occupational licensing and poor school options for many minority children have had a pronounced effect on black job opportunities.  Ironically, for almost the same duration of time that Illinois has had the highest black unemployment rate, Illinois' Democratic legislative leaders have insisted economic reforms are unnecessary for Illinois' economy, putting them at odds with Gov. Bruce Rauner.

How the Left Strangled Itself With Identity Politics.  Listen up, dimwits:  When you encourage racial pride in all groups except whites, you aren't exactly making a case against "racism."

Senate Dems shamed for nearly all-white top staffers.  Senate Democrats are facing growing pressure to break the white male stranglehold on senior staff positions in their ranks — a push that's uniting consultants and lobbyists inside the Beltway with Black Lives Matter and other minority leaders who are accusing the party of "soft bigotry."  The attacks are prompting uncomfortable discussions among Democrats even as they welcome their historic Senate freshman class, which includes the chamber's first Latina and Indian-American members.  Frustrations over the lack of diversity among the ranks of top Senate Democratic aides began seeping into public view after Hillary Clinton's stunning loss deprived the party's donors and lobbyists of a critical opening to build on the Obama administration's minority-hiring efforts.

Proposed Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Discrimination Against Black Employees at CNN, TBS.  A new court filing alleges that Turner employees faced racial discrimination that held them back in their careers and led to at least one former assistant being fired.  Roughly two dozen current and former employees of CNN and TBS (both owned by Turner) claim that there is a systematic problem with "discriminatory practices being implemented throughout all of Turner's Networks [sic]," according to a complaint filed Tuesday evening [12/6/2016].  The complaint cites statistics showing that black employees at Turner are promoted at a much lower rate than whites.

Black Employees Matter.  Politically-correct broadcaster CNN and its parent company face a big racial discrimination lawsuit in the US.  The class action lawsuit was filed this week by current and former black employees.

Black CNN employees in Atlanta sue the company for racial discrimination claiming they've had lower salaries and fewer promotions for 20 years.  Black employees of CNN are suing the company and its affiliates for racial discrimination.  The class action was filed in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday on behalf of two workers, Celeslie Henley and Ernest Colbert Jr, but alleges widespread discrimination throughout the organizations.  'Dramatic' differences in pay, harsher evaluations for black males and fewer available promotions are among evidence of the prejudice, the lawsuit alleges.

CNN Gleefully Mocks Dr. Ben Carson — Exhibit Stunning Level of Ridicule Against Black Cabinet Nominee.  During a presented Don Lemon discussion panel Monday night [12/5/2016], the severity of ridicule against Dr. Ben Carson was jaw-dropping and unprofessional in the extreme.  Removing all pretense of substantive discussion, Don Lemon, Marc Lamont Hill and Peter Beinart began openly mocking the nomination of Dr. Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The scope and severity of the exhibited ridicule was so over the top, fellow CNN panelist Brian Stelter was both visibly trying to hide his glee and simultaneously uncomfortable joining in amid the laughter and mockery.

Hello Democrats, I'm Here to Help.  Dear Democratic friends: your tribalist identity politics stinks.  Politics is division, and a very dangerous thing that we all need to keep in its box.  So when you terrify blacks and Hispanics and single women and LGBTs into tribalism with your identity politics you are setting up a monster; you are teaching the white deplorable majority to adopt identity politics too.  Instead, you should be teaching the victims to grow out of their identity ghettos and just become hyphenless responsible American citizens.

30 Blocks of "Black" Friday.  The black voters on the 30 Blocks of Squalor, ignored and taken for granted by Democrat politicians since the 1950s, cast 93% of their votes for Crooked Hillary.  It is baffling how these people would continue to vote for their own servitude, trapped in squalor, dependent upon the state for survival, and wallowing in ignorance produced by government indoctrination public schools.

Keith Ellison Once Proposed Making A Separate Country For Blacks.  Some newly discovered columns shed light on the shocking views expressed by one of the Democrat's favorite politicians.  Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, now in the running to be DNC Chair, has attracted the support of Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Harry Reid.  Many think that Ellison, an African-American Muslim, would make a powerful statement leading the DNC.  Ellison's past has gained attention from the media, with Ellison being accused of anti-Semitism and ties to the Nation of Islam.

In Milwaukee, hard-pressed black voters dumped Clinton.  Wisconsin's largest city is also America's most racially segregated one, according to a study based on the 2010 census.  And Wisconsin served up one of the biggest surprises of an election day that shocked America and the world:  no one thought the midwestern state would fall to the Republican billionaire.  Clinton was so sure of victory she did not even bother to campaign here after the Democratic primaries, instead sending her daughter Chelsea or her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

The MSM Is Right:  There Is a Racist Party in America.  Like their predecessors who fought a war to keep slavery legal, who founded the KKK, who passed the Jim Crow laws, who fought for school segregation, and who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, modern Democrat politicians are constantly working to ensure that blacks be poor, ignorant, and totally dependent on the government.  Slave-owning Democrats believed that blacks were not really smart enough to run their own lives.  Modern Democrat talking heads constantly declare that in a country where Japanese Americans could go from Democrat-mandated prison camps to having one of the highest per household incomes in America, without Democrat help, blacks somehow can't manage to do anything.  It's the same paternalistic attitude that earlier Democrats used to justify slavery.  Of course, the new slavery is different from the old:  instead of picking cotton for hours in the blazing sun, modern blacks only have to vote Democrat, settle for unsafe neighborhoods, and be willing to live with the fact that their children will never get a decent education.

Why I find the black community's response to Trump's election a little embarrassing.  Just fifty years ago, our people were bravely marching for our freedom while facing the threat of bombings, lynchings, and ruthless beatings.  Are we — predominantly middle-class blacks — now going to cower in fear of a few racial slurs?  And for those who think the latter a precursor to the former:  the people making insensitive remarks in your workplace are not the same people who would burn a cross on your lawn.

The left is 'projecting' its own evil onto conservatives.  Everything the left witnesses is shot through the prism of race.  Race is their oxygen, and they can't take a breath without it.  Of late, Lebron James, and the liberal press, thinks a reference to the people with whom he travels as his "posse" is racist.  (The pendulum is hitting the wall.)  Gene Autry and Roy Rogers had posses — was that racist?  The absurdity and prevalence of these instances requires no further comment.  Who invites race into each discussion or dissection of the events of the day?  The "projecting" left.

Why Trump Won.  [Scroll down]  Finally, the more Clinton Inc. talked about the Latino vote, the black vote, the gay vote, the woman vote, the more Americans tired of the same old identity politics pandering.  What if minority bloc voters who had turned out for Obama might not be as sympathetic to a middle-aged, multimillionaire white woman?  And what if the working white classes might flock to the politically incorrect populist Trump in a way that they would not to a leftist elitist like Hillary Clinton?  In other words, the more Clinton played the identity politics card, the more she earned fewer returns for herself and more voters for Trump.

The Media's Mass Delusion About Donald Trump.  [Scroll down]  This pitch for journalists to throw objectivity to the wind was eagerly seconded by Hillary Clinton, who spoke to the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists at their joint gathering in Washington, saying:  "Now I think journalists have a special responsibility to our democracy in a time like this."  That "special responsibility", of course, meaning these journalists should use their reporting to attack her opponent.  (And note well the irony:  Trump was accused by Rutenberg, the Times and the Post among many, many other others of being a racist.  The fact that Clinton addressed not one but two groups of journalists who quite openly divided themselves into racial groupings of "black journalists" and "Hispanic journalists" caused no one to blink, much less think twice.)

Is Affirmative Action the New Noblesse Oblige?  The idea of a privileged class bestowing gifts and benefits to lower classes — their economic and social inferiors, by definition — rubs against our egalitarian principles.  It's an implicitly condescending attitude, but that's not the worst part.  Noblesse oblige was despised in Revolutionary France because it inhibited social progress.  As the peasantry pushed for meaningful reforms that might transform the state of their condition, French patricians patted themselves on the back for bestowing kindness on the poor peasants, remaining oblivious to their actual grievances.  There seems to be a bit of a parallel here to affirmative action policies in the United States.

Black Church Leaders:  Democratic Party 'Asks for Everything, Gives Nothing'.  Leaders of the black church in America are reminding black voters that the Democratic Party has "sold out the black community and our Christian heritage," and they are urging blacks across the country to abandon the Democratic Party this election day. [...] "As someone who wants to see our community grow stronger and more prosperous, and who wants to see family and faith respected and preserved, I find that the Democratic Party no longer has room for me," says Rev. Owens.  "I realized that my relationship with the Democrats was completely one-sided.  They asked for everything — support, votes, loyalty.  And gave nothing in return."

Black Leaders to Their Voters: 'We Won't Allow Ourselves to Be Used' by Democratic Party.  Leaders of the black church in America are urging African American voters to abandon the Democratic Party once and for all as Election Day approaches.  In new videos released today, Rev. William Owens and his wife Dr. Deborah Owens of the Coalition of African American Pastors say the relationship between the black community and Democrats in America is "one-sided."

How white liberals really view black voters.  Ami Horowitz produced this wonderful clip for Fox News titled, "How white liberals really view black voters."  The concept is simple.  He heads to the progressive bastion of Berkeley, California and does a series of man-on-the-street interviews, asking white people about voter ID laws.  A number of people volunteer that voter ID laws are a bad idea and also racist.

Low turnout in early voting reveals Hillary Clinton's limited appeal among blacks.  Democrats' fears are coming true about Hillary Clinton's limited appeal among blacks, as numbers from early-voting states show the bloc isn't as fired up for the Democratic nominee as it was for President Obama.  In key battleground states such as Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, early voting patterns show that blacks aren't casting ballots in the same numbers they did four years ago, when they helped propel Mr. Obama to re-election.

Hillary eats soul food, campaigns in churches to boost lagging black turnout.  Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's tours of soul food restaurants and black churches to court black voters in recent weeks doesn't seem to be paying off.  The turnout of black voters is down in many areas compared to 2012, including key battleground states, providing the latest evidence that the former first lady's campaign may be circling the drain. [...] The black voter turnout in the key state of North Carolina is down 16 percent in early voting.  It's a similar situation in Florida, where black voters heading to the polls in person has decreased from 25 percent in 2012 to a current rate of 15 percent, despite expanded early voting opportunities.

Project Veritas Video — Top Democrat Donors Compare Black Republicans To Nazi Sympathizers.  In this video released by Project Veritas Action, a top Democratic donor is caught on camera disparaging members of the African American community at a fundraiser for North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Deborah Ross.  In the video, prominent Ross donor Benjamin Barber expresses his opinion about blacks who vote Republican by comparing them to Nazis.

Clinton ally compares black Republicans to Jews who aided Nazis in Project Veritas video.  A longtime Clinton ally and donor has a theory about black Republicans:  They're like the Jewish guards in concentration camps who tried to save their own skins by helping the Nazis kill Jews.  In a hidden-camera video released Wednesday by Project Veritas Action, author and academic Benjamin R. Barber compared black Republicans to the "Sonderkommandos" during a Sept. 19 fundraiser for North Carolina Senate candidate Deborah Ross.  He described the Sonderkommandos as "Jewish guards who in effect helped murder Jews in the camps so they could live a little longer."

Dem Strategist:  Clinton Should Be In "Panic Mode" Over Enthusiasm Gap With Black Voters, "Nothing She Can Do," "It's Over".  Leslie Wimes, the president of the Democratic African-American women's caucus, joins MSNBC's Hallie Jackson to discuss the Clinton campaign being in "panic mode" about low voter enthusiasm in the black community.  "We love President Obama," she said.  "That doesn't transfer to Hillary Clinton by osmosis."  "It's over now as far as the African-American community is concerned.  She had time back then to get into the community and get people out to vote.  Now, you know, the numbers are the numbers.  There's nothing she can do now."

Black faith leaders reproach Hillary Clinton on religious freedom as enthusiasm chills.  On the 499th anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 Theses, a group of black minsters is nailing a missive to the door of the Democratic Party demanding a political reformation on the issues black people care about.  Delivered to Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters on Monday [10/31/2016], the blistering letter is signed by more than 25 interdenominational black bishops and pastors, and finds fault with the Democratic presidential nominee's lackluster commitment to religious liberty, wholesale adoption of the LGBT movement's agenda and uncompromising support for abortion rights.

Black Leaders Warn Of Clinton Threat To Religious Liberty In Blistering Letter.  Black leaders slammed Hillary Clinton's position toward the poor in a letter delivered to her campaign Monday, saying her economic ideas won't help black communities in crisis and that her social views pose a threat to their religious liberty.  "Today in the United States more than ten million people of African descent face a crisis of catastrophic proportions," the letter begins.  "Life in our major post-industrial centers can be poor, nasty, brutish and short."

Blacks aren't supposed to catch on.  For those who don't remember, Eric Garner was the New York City resident who died following an altercation with police over his selling loose cigarettes.  After police wrestled him to the ground, Garner was whisked away and later died of a heart attack.  Ms. Garner is furious over the emails that show the Clinton people discussing how best to use Garner's death for the campaign.

Blacks aren't supposed to catch on.  [Scroll down]  But the truth is, Democrats have been using blacks to push their agenda for decades.  Their one hope has been that blacks don't catch on to that fact.  Hillary's campaign has been using blacks as pawns since the very beginning.  She needs their votes so desperately that nothing is off the table.  Hillary glommed on to the "Mothers of the Movement" group not because she cares about blacks, but because she cares about black votes.

Wikileaks: Erica Garner Rips Clinton Campaign for Calculating How to 'Use' Father's Death.  Erica Garner took to social media to express her outrage at private conversations from Hillary Clinton's campaign — which revealed political calculations on how they would use the death of her father in messaging.

Clinton Foundation Left Harlem For Wall Street Space With Goldman Sachs.  Clinton Foundation officials decided in 2011 to move their offices from Harlem to the Wall Street financial district in lower Manhattan and share the office with financial giant Goldman Sachs, according to a WikiLeaks email made public Friday [10/14/2016].  It moved into one of the most prestigious addresses in the financial district.  The building's owner boasts that 77 Water Street "sits at the epicenter of New York's financial district," and "is considered one of Wall Street's most recognizable buildings."  It was a far cry from 2001 when former President Bill Clinton proudly spoke in front of 2,000 people extolling his commitment to the poor people of Harlem.

Former Clinton Admin Chef:  Hillary Called Black Servant the 'N-Word', Clintons Made Racist Comments on a Routine Basis.  Hillary Clinton angrily referred to a black servant as the n-word, according to a bombshell claim by Tracey Martin, a former traveling chef who worked under the first Clinton administration.

Dunbar High School After 100 Years.  In 1899, when it was called "the M Street School," a test was given in Washington's four academic public high schools, three white and one black.  The black high school scored higher than two of the three white high schools.  Today, it would be considered Utopian even to set that as a goal, much less expect to see it happen.  The M Street School had neither of two so-called "prerequisites" for quality education.  There was no "diversity."  It was an all-black school from its beginning, and on through its life as a high quality institution under the name Dunbar High School.  But its days as a high quality institution ended abruptly in the middle of the 1950s.  After that, it became just another failing ghetto school.

Globalism, Soros, and Charlotte:  Now I Get It.  It's obvious.  They divide and conquer.  They set the people in each nation state against each other.  They divide them up by class, by race, by gender, by tribe:  Black Lives Matter; La Raza; Human Rights Campaign, CAIR.  With one ring to rule them all.  So that is why George Sauron and all the top-tier foundations are funding groups like Black Lives Matter.  That is why the globalists are all in favor of unlimited immigration.  The more that the people in America think of themselves as black or white or Hispanic or gay or Muslim rather than American, the easier it is for the global elite to "pierce the shell of state sovereignty" while we are all busy fighting each other.

The Left Insists On Everything Being A Consideration Of Race.  The lack of common sense among liberals is astounding.  On Fox's afternoon program "The Five" one hears the program's liberal member, Juan Williams, boringly often complaining that young black men are killed by police at a greater rate than their racial representation in the nation would predict, ignoring the fact that young black men commit crimes out of all proportion to the number of blacks in the larger population.  Eric Bolling, one of the conservative members of the program, has repeatedly reminded Williams that even though blacks make up a small percentage of the American population, they are sought out by the police in proportion to their commission of crimes, not in proportion to their racial percentage of the population, and the number of crimes they commit is far greater than their shear percentage of the overall population.

Charlotte riots, Tulsa doesn't.  For inexplicable reasons, leftists believe that the violence wrought by angry minorities will benefit them, so they encourage it.  They subsidize it.  Obama has given his not-so-tacit permission to riot every time one of these tragic events occurs, from the Henry Louis Gates minor incident to the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and the Dallas officers.  And now BLM is rolling in money, $100M from "social justice" organizations.  Soros gave them $33M.  What we see in Charlotte is what they pay for.  They are not wasting their money in Tulsa because Oklahoma is in the bag for Trump.

Farrakhan to Obama:  Let Trump Do Want He Wants, You Failed Inner City Blacks.  Sunday at the Men's Day program hosted at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, DC, Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan said to President Barack Obama, "Your people are suffering and dying in the streets," of Chicago, so "you failed to do what should have been done."  Farrakhan continued by saying it is time to let Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do "what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy."

DOJ Sends Same Unit to Charlotte That Helped Ferguson, Baltimore Rioters Organize.  In moments of social unrest featuring violence and crime, one would expect the only proper role of the taxpayer-funded federal government is to quash the disturbance.  However, a unit of progressive attorneys within the Department of Justice has been at the center of every significant riot during the Obama administration, and this unit — the Community Relations Service, or CRS — was not at those scenes to protect the safety of all citizens.  In fact, the CRS was caught encouraging the chaos.  Not only did CRS side only with the protesters and not with law enforcement, they actively facilitated the protests, even as they were turning violent.  Additionally, this same unit has a serious fraud and corruption problem.

Prepare For a Massive Racial Onslaught From The Professional Left.  Hillary Clinton is in a complete state of electoral collapse.  Her polling is far worse than what the media is capable of propping up.  Once the professional left cross a particular desperation threshold, what follows becomes predictable; this will be similar to Brexit's "Operation Fear" only with a traditional American-left-wing twist, the use of race to drive the needed division.  Before laying out substance for this tripwire prediction, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to grasp the scope of what they are going to attempt to pull off.

Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans.  Regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump's rise will force the Democratic Party to eventually have to address how its elected officials have neglected black Americans, its most loyal constituency.  The Democratic Party's worse nightmare happened when Donald Trump reached out to black Americans at a campaign rally in Wisconsin.  Trump's outreach was prefaced by challenging blacks to do an honest assessment of their return on investment after 50 years of voting Democrat.  The most damning words that Trump spoke were "what [...] do you have to lose" by voting Trump?  The last thing Democrats want blacks to do is to ponder that very question, knowing that the answer is nothing.

Liberals Claim To Know What Hispanics Want Better Than Hispanics Do.  Recent articles in The Thinker and The Hill express the position that Hispanics have broader and more areas of concern in life than the single subject of immigration when they consider the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump.  They care even more for the economy, health care, jobs and the deficit because these subject impact their lives and the lives of their families more than the appeal and faux persuasiveness of immigration.  And very often Hispanics who are American citizens don't want immigration reform, they want our immigration laws enforced and illegals kept out because criminals crossing our border are as much a threat to them and their welfare as it is to any other American citizen.

Joy Reid:  Not True That Republicans Passed Civil Rights for African-Americans That Democrats Opposed.  Saturday on MSNBC's "AM Joy," host Joy Reid disagreed with chairman of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida Sean P. Jackson when he said that if it was not for Republicans, African-Americans would still be enslaved.

Racial Issues.  [Scroll down]  The relations between the police and the black community are another issue that has gotten a lot of attention, and produced counterproductive results.  After all the rhetoric and all the efforts towards more tightly restraining the police, the net result has been that murder rates have soared in cities where that policy has been followed — and most of the people killed have been black.  None of the most popular political panaceas for helping black communities has a track record of making things better, and some have made things much worse.

Hillary's 'Deplorable' Ain't the Half of It.  Let's have a reality check about the -isms and the -phobias.  Racism is a problem?  You mean in the country that went to war to free the slaves, that passed the civil rights acts?  That elected a black president?  Sexism?  You mean the country that gave women the vote, that has encouraged women, indeed, has mandated that women get preference at the university and the workplace?  Homophobia?  You mean the country that doesn't riot in indignation when elite gays get to harass the little people for not wanting to bake a gay wedding cake?  Islamophobia?  You mean the country in which a supermarket checker gets to wear the hijab, a defiant statement of separation and act of segregation in my book, and gets to live to tell the tale?  You know what I think?  I think that the ordinary white middle class has shown the most amazing patience and sturdiness as they have marked time for the last 50 years while liberals deployed government force to help blacks, women, gays, Hispanics, Muslims at their expense.

Why Is Hillary Clinton Still Honoring A Segregationist And Anti-Semite?  Has anyone asked Hillary Clinton if the segregationist and anti-Semite J. William Fulbright was "deplorable?"  Seems like a reasonable question, since we're playing this game.  After all, her name is on the prestigious J. William Fulbright-Hillary Rodham Clinton Public Policy Fellowship.  Fulbright wasn't just a nut with despicable ideas about minorities.  He was gifted, influential politician who for decades worked to keep the races segregated through state force.  He signed the Southern Manifesto (he helped edit it, actually), opposed Brown v. Board, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  He even voted against Hawaiian statehood to keep its large non-white population out of the union.

Why African Americans should desert Clinton and the Democrats.  The Democrats, including most notably Hillary Clinton, want to distract us from the reality that their "Big Government" programs and policies have failed to deliver widespread prosperity, and in particular have harmed black Americans, who keep falling further behind in academics and earnings.  The distraction comes in the form of a virulent "us-versus-them" mentality directed against Republicans and conservatives — as though they are the cause of the blacks' fading prospects — when the true culprit is the liberal-progressive element that dominates the Democratic Party.  This strategy may get votes for Hillary Clinton, but it is profoundly immoral, because it victimizes all of us, especially blacks.

Young Blacks Voice Skepticism on Hillary Clinton, Worrying Democrats.  "What am I supposed to do if I don't like him and I don't trust her?" a millennial black woman in Ohio asked.  "Choose between being stabbed and being shot?  No way!"  "She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail," a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.  "He's a racist, and she is a liar, so really what's the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?" another young black woman from Ohio said.

Hillary Cares About You?  Ask the Haitians She Ripped Off.  The group of Haitians demonstrating on the sidewalk at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia were furious with Bill and Hillary Clinton.  A passionate Haitian-American named Joseph Mathieu frankly accused the couple of "destroying Haiti for the decades.  They pretend to be our friends when in reality they are our number one enemies... the Clintons were running Haiti, stealing our money, our resources and we are out here, outraged for the crimes of the Clintons!"  Then Mathieu labeled the international power couple racists:  "The Clintons don't like black people," he thundered.  "All they do is more welfare, more jails, more food stamps — we don't need that, we need more opportunity, more education!"

5 Eye-Opening Revelations In The Dems' Secret 'Black Lives Matter' Memo.  An internal memo drafted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last November saw the light of day this week when The Smoking Gun posted the two-page document on its website.  The memo — written by the DCCC's then-diversity director Troy Perry — explains how congressmen and their staff should "respond to the tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement."  But it also reveals some things that Perry probably never intended.

Don't anger Black Lives Matters activists by mentioning 'black-on-black crime': What Democratic staff were told.  In the midst a spate of Black Lives Matter protests that put presidential candidates on the spot during speeches last year, a staffer for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee coached Democratic staffers on how to avoid antagonizing the group.  The memo, which was published on the web site of hacker Guccifer 2.0, provides step-by-step guidance on how candidates can avoid ticking off protesters.  "Do not say 'all lives matter' and nor [sic] mention 'black on black crime,'" it advises.  "If approached by BLM activists, campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists.  Invited BLM attendees should be limited," according to the memo.

Obama's Indian Policy Threatens All Americans, Both Tribal and Non-tribal Citizens.  Tragically, among the most seriously harmed victims in this federal government/tribal government collusion are the vast majority of tribal families that, for the most part, are still living in poverty and squalor.  Meanwhile, tribal leaders, the Indian lobbyist industry, and their paid politicians pocket not only huge casino profits, but also the unaudited rivers of cash provided by the U.S. taxpayers via the ever-expanding proliferation of federal programs.  The politicians, tribal leaders, and their propagandists adroitly exploit the sympathies of decent Americans and manipulate their feelings of guilt over past wrongs (both real and fictional) against the Indian tribes.  But their real goal is building their own wealth and power, not alleviating the plight of the tribal members.

The Real Racist in the 2016 Presidential Race.  Aside from attempting to block the Civil Rights Act, the Democrats have a rich racist history, conveniently overlooked by the media and the Democrats themselves.  The KKK originated with the Democrats.  Founded in 1866, it was "a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks."  Not a Republican creation; instead, "the organization saw its primary goal — the reestablishment of white supremacy — fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s."  Ignored by Mrs. Clinton and her media fanboys who continue trying to tie the KKK to the GOP.

Claims of Racism Are The Last Refuge Of A Shrill Harridan.  Hillary's racism lie, in which she linked Republicans to the kreepy klown kar her party created and in which her senatorial mentor Robert Byrd served as a Grand Imperial Cyborg Wizard Dragon or something, was not just your typical leftist slander against normal Americans.  It was an attempt to marginalize fully 40% of the electorate desperate enough to avoid her no-doubt catastrophic reign by voting for Donald Trump.  She and the left want to write this entire chunk of the electorate out of any voice in their own governance by authorizing her progressive supporters to disregard any duty to consider, represent or respect those alleged troglodytes.

Sorry, Hillary:  Trump's policies are clearly better for blacks.  On everything from education to jobs to crime, Trump's policies offer a lifeline to people who have been losing ground for decades.  Hillary's policies will just exacerbate them.  And no amount of speeches will change that.  On education, Trump strongly supports school choice.  This would give inner-city blacks a way out of horribly performing public schools.  Clinton attacks charters and clearly opposes other forms of school choice, opting to protect teachers unions at the expense of students.  And who's harmed the most by illegal immigration?  Who's most likely to suffer unemployment or wage reductions due to the added competition?  Young, unskilled blacks and Hispanics.  The biggest beneficiaries?  Wealthy people who get to pay less for lawn care and housecleaning.  But crime is the immediate, life-and-death issue for so many blacks and Hispanics trapped in high-crime urban areas.  Too many come to physical harm, have their property stolen, or lose their jobs as businesses are driven from their neighborhoods.  Clinton seems more focused on helping criminals rather than their victims.

Flashback: KKK gave Hillary $20,000 — 'Clinton is our choice'.  Hillary Clinton is poised to give a speech today supposedly tying Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan, but she likely won't address the $20,000 the group says it gave her.  "For the KKK, Clinton is our choice," Will Quigg, a Grand Dragon in a California branch of the KKK, said in April.  "She is friends with the Klan," Quigg said.  "A lot of people don't realize that.  She's friends with Senator Byrd.  He's been an Exulted Cyclops in the Klan.  He's been King Kleagle."

White House rejects Trump's claim that blacks are worse off under Obama.  Despite government data supporting Donald Trump's claim that blacks are worse off under President Obama, the White House insisted Thursday [8/25/2016] that blacks have made progress under the first black president and that the Republican nominee would reverse those gains.  Mr. Trump's pitch that black Americans have "nothing to lose" by voting for him is clearly irritating the White House, which tried but failed to muster much convincing evidence that life for blacks in America has improved over the past eight years.

Hillary's Race War.  Hillary Clinton has met with leaders of a racist hate group responsible for torching cities and inciting the murders of police officers.  Deray McKesson, one of the Black Lives Matter hate group leaders she met with, had praised the looting of white people and endorsed cop killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal.  The Black Lives Matter hate group had specifically made a point of targeting white people in "white spaces" for harassment.  It would go on to incite the mass murder of police officers in Dallas and other racist atrocities.  Despite all this, Hillary Clinton has never disavowed the racist hate group.  Instead she doubled down on supporting the hate group and its icons at the Democratic National Convention.  Now, after Trump's appeal to the black community, Hillary is desperately trying to divide us by race.

Trump: Democrats Have Run Cities For Decades And "Have Produced Only Poverty, Failing Schools and Broken Homes".  Donald Trump rips Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party for leaving the black and Latino community in poverty.  "The Democratic party has run nearly every inner city for 50 years, 60 years, 70 years, and even more than 100 years they have produced only poverty, failing schools, and broken homes," Trump said at a Monday night [8/22/2016] campaign rally in Akron, Ohio.  "Hillary Clinton has totally forgotten the first rule of public service, the job of an elected official is to serve the citizens of the United States," Trump also said.

Donald Trump to black voters: 'What do you have to lose?'.  Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made a direct appeal to African-American voters, saying "What do you have to lose?"  Mr Trump told a nearly all-white audience in Michigan that black voters "are living in poverty" and their "schools are no good".  He promised to "produce" for African-Americans where Democrats had failed.  "If you keep voting for the same people, you will keep getting exactly the same result," he said.

Irony Squared:  Could Donald Trump Be the Savior of Black America?  Be careful what you wish for, as they say, because Holder and Obama — whatever they pretended and pretend to themselves and others — were seeking to use this dialogue to expand the liberal/progressive agenda for minority communities initiated by Lyndon Johnson, which largely has been a disaster by almost all measures compared to the majority culture.  The principal substantive result to come from Johnson's War on Poverty was the validation of that famous prediction attributed to the Texan:  "I'll have those [N-words] voting for us for the next two hundred years." That proved to be true and the outcome of that repulsive statement, these days, is the black family has been decimated, African-American unemployment (particularly among the young) is massive, and violence is extreme and growing in their urban neighborhoods.  Obama and Holder, intelligent men, must realize this on some level, which makes their adherence to the same strategy — more and more welfare, more and more food stamps, more and more reliance on government, year after year — more than slightly sinister, even veering to the sadistic.

The Scourge Of Racism In America.  Oh yes, there is significant racism in America today.  It is alive and well, and it is systemic.  Not in the way progressive activists would have you believe — that it's "open season on young black men," for example — but in the way the Democratic Party views and treats black Americans.  It's every bit as nefarious and damaging as Democrats' segregationist past; only this time the bigotry is couched in compassion. [...] To say Democrats take black voters for granted is an understatement.  To take someone for granted is to be confident they'll always be there, no matter how you treat them.

Trump: The Democrats Have Taken Advantage Of African-American Voters.  [Scroll down]  "My opponent, Hillary, would rather protect the offender than the victim," he said.  "That is a big problem in our society."  He continued:  "Hillary Clinton-backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.  I care too much about my country to let this happen."  At this, the crowd broke into a chant of:  "USA! USA! USA!"

Lamont Hill:  Just Because Poor Cities Are Run by Democrats, Doesn't Mean Democrats Are to Blame.  On Wednesday's [8/17/2016] CNN New Day, Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans.  While Bongino argued that democrat run cities have failed black communities, Lamont Hill claimed that poverty and Democrat machines are connected, but that "doesn't mean" being a Democrat makes you poor.  After Cuomo brought up a new ABC News/WSJ poll that predicted only one percent of blacks would vote for Trump, he asked Bongino why Trump was unable to make the case to blacks that their Democrat-run communities would only keep them in poverty.

Lying Black Folks to Death.  Leftists — aided by our corrupt news media — are past masters of replacing truth with narrative. [...] When it comes to the problems of black Americans, the left outdoes itself in the art of deception.  Virtually every assertion of the violent Black Lives Matter hate movement is a falsehood.  Even the name of this vicious collection of groups is offensive.  When challenged by those who respond with "All Lives Matter," the BLM people thug-splain that what they really meant was "Black Lives Matter too."  But this assumes that white people don't know this, that blacks in this country are treated as if their lives matter less than others.

Clinton Chooses Black Lives Matter Over Law Enforcement Support.  Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton pursued the endorsement of Black Lives Matter activists but blew off the largest police union in the United States.  After almost a year of meeting with Black Lives Matter representatives, Clinton failed to garner the support of the movement's co-founder Alicia Garza, but she managed to receive the endorsement of mothers championed by the Black Lives Matter movement.  Garza recently slammed Clinton, saying the former secretary of state only "uses black people for votes" and "photo ops," but doesn't "do anything for black communities" after getting elected.

DNC Corruption At the Core — The Latest Evidence.  [Scroll down] The DNC emails also prove how they take for granted the Hispanic and the black vote.  Multiple emails from DNC staffers referred to the "buckets" of voters, based on race.  They further prove how they take those voters for granted by claiming that they are the most "brand-loyal" voters for the party.  It should be immensely disturbing to those voters that they're assumed to be so loyal that they are merely blind puppets of the party that panders to their special interests.  Equally disturbing was the pejorative way they are sometimes referenced by the DNC.  One staff member, and Obama campaign veteran, Rebecca Christopher, referred to their courtship of Hispanic voters as "taco bowl outreach."  That kind of "branding" should cause all sentient Hispanic voters to rethink their commitment and fealty to the DNC.

Obama's news conference:  Everything wrong with Democrats, encapsulated.  In President Obama's news conference [8/4/2016], he was correct that so many young people going to prison has devastated communities, but he fails to recognize that many of the policies that he and the Democrats advocate contribute greatly to the problem.  The anti-poverty Great Society programs from the 1960s contributed greatly to the breakup of families, especially minority families.  The majority of minority children are born out of wedlock, and single parenthood is the greatest indicator of who will end up in poverty and dependent on government.  Democrats generally want to expand these programs, even with their terrible results.  It helps greatly to have two parents as role models.  Also, it is generally Democrats who block big box stores from building in inner cities.  This takes away opportunities for inner-city youth to start moving up the economic ladder.  This causes teens and young adults to be on the street more or join gangs, and this causes more young people to commit crimes and end up in prison.  Now Democrats want to massively increase the minimum wage which, along with other costly regulations like Obamacare, further takes away opportunities.

Michelle Obama and the Content of Her Character.  [Scroll down]  She and her husband cannot shed the belief that "being an authentic black person involves in some elemental way seeing oneself as an object of mistreatment by white people, while participating in a collective consciousness of that mistreatment with other black people."  Thus, America is reminded that Michelle "wakes up every morning in a house that was built by slaves."  Does she explain that Hillary Clinton — the woman she supports — received enormous sums of money from countries where slavery still exists?  Does Michelle proudly assert the enormous strides America has made in ending slavery whereas the African nation of Mauritania is now the number one slave capital of the world?  Does Michelle acknowledge the blood spilled by black and white people who despised slavery and gave the last true measure of their devotion?  Does the First Lady acknowledge that the Democratic Party voted against the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments?  Does she remind her audience that the Republican Party was the party of ending slavery and that the KKK was actually the military arm of the Democratic Party?  Hardly.

Do Black Lives Really Matter to Democrats?  The Black Lives Matter movement arose in 2014 in response to what it perceived as a spike in extrajudicial killings of unarmed African-American men by police officers.  An analysis of police killings of black men from January of 2013 through June of 2016, though, shows that the cities in which the vast majority of these killings occurred were in cities that the Democratic Party has controlled for generations.  According to data compiled by the Mapping Police Violence research collaborative, there are 67 city police departments whose officers have killed two or more black men since the beginning of 2013.  Just seven of those departments are in cities with a Republican mayor.

The secret history of the Democratic Party.  [P]rogressives who are forced to acknowledge the Democratic Party's pro-slavery history promptly respond, "We admit to being the party of slavery, and we did uphold the institution for more than a century, but slavery ended in 1865, so all of this was such a long time ago.  You can't blame us now for the antebellum wrongs of the Democratic Party."  Yes, but what about the postbellum crimes of the Democratic Party?  From Democratic support for slavery, let's turn to the party's complicity in segregation and the Ku Klux Klan.  Democrats in the 1880s invented segregation and Jim Crow laws that lasted through the 1960s.  Democrats also came up with the "separate but equal" rationale that justified segregation and pretended that it was for the benefit of African Americans.  The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee by a group of former confederate soldiers; its first grand wizard was a confederate general who was also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. [...] Leading Democrats including at least one president, two Supreme Court justices, and innumerable Senators and Congressmen were Klan members.  The last one, Robert Byrd, died in 2010 and was eulogized by President Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

Black Votes Matter.  If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined.  This is highly unlikely, given the approach used by Republicans.  However, the point is that Democrats must not only continue to get nine-tenths of black votes, they also need to get a high turnout of black voters on election day.  People who expected the election of President Barack Obama to lead to racial healing and a post-racial society failed to take account of the political reality that racial healing and a post-racial society would, at a minimum, reduce black voter turnout.  Black votes matter to many politicians — more so than black lives.

Keith Ellison Embarrassed After Falsely Calling Racist Democrat George Wallace a Republican.  Rep. Tom Cole (R., Okla.) embarrassed Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) on ABC Sunday morning [7/24/2016] when the latter falsely claimed that former Democratic Alabama governor George Wallace was a Republican.  Wallace is perhaps best remembered as being one of the most strident supporters of segregation in the 20th century.  He sought the Democratic nomination for president multiple times, with racist stances as a key of his platform.  In 1968, he ran as the American Independent Party candidate and received 46 electoral votes, making him the most recent third-party candidate to capture votes in the Electoral College.  Ellison was attacking Donald Trump when he made his false charge.

Racist DNC Email Flagrantly Makes Fun Of Black Woman's Name.  Democratic operatives made fun of a black woman's name in an email chain recently leaked by the website Wikileaks.  An email with Scott Comer, the finance chief of staff and LGBT finance director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Zachary Allen with the firm TIPAH Consulting, makes fun of LaQueenia Gibson's name.  Gibson is an executive assistant for the company Haddad Brands.

Check Out The Incredibly Racist DNC Emails Uncovered In The WikiLeaks Document Dump.  Democrats have long styled themselves as champions of American minorities.  However, the DNC emails recently released by WikiLeaks paint a much more dark picture of the Democratic National Committee.  One email, addressed to DNC Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer, pokes fun at the name of an African American Executive Assistant for apparel company Haddad Brands named LaQueenia Gibson.  "LaQueenia is a NAME!" the email reads.  "I'm sorry, boo.  I hope you got a raise with this title."

The Anti-Cop President.  [The 1960s] sexual revolution removed the stigma from out-of-wedlock pregnancy.  An explosion of inner-city illegitimacy ensued, with between 70 and 90 percent of black children born to single mothers, depending on the city. [...] So by the early 1990s, murders in New York, for example — mostly by young black men killing other blacks — were occurring on average every four hours, every day.  The same spirit of elite racial contrition made generous welfare payments, with virtually no questions asked, seem like appropriate reparations for the long mistreatment of African Americans.  In this way, government ended up enabling the spread of out-of-wedlock childbearing, which the culture had legitimated.  But those fatherless welfare families proved far from ideal for raising successful, law-abiding children.  What came to be called the cycle of poverty — single parenthood, school dropout, drug use, crime, non-work, welfare dependency — went into overdrive.

Obama Is The Last Person To Turn To For Healing And Peace.  [Scroll down]  The Democrats have established their future voting block and re-election efforts on poor people, disproportionately black under the Obama administration, whose population is also disproportionately unemployed and poorly educated with no fathers in the home and whose mothers are swamped with too many welfare children to raise alone on a barely existent welfare budget and living in crime-ridden areas.

Ignorance of Facts Fuels the Anti-Cop 'Movement'.  After the shooting deaths of black suspects at the hands of the police in Minnesota and Louisiana, Hillary Clinton said, "White people ... have to start listening to the legitimate cries" of black people.  This is the usual kind of condescending pap we always hear from Democrats.  But in their case, the reason is votes.  In order for the Democratic Party to maintain the 95 percent monolithic hold they have with black voters, they need to create scenarios of anger and fear against so-called "structural" or "institutional" or "systemic" racism. [...] And there's this.  What's hard about complying with a cop's order so you don't get shot?  There is no right to defy a lawful order.

How The War On Drugs Fails Black Communities.  Writing for the Cato Institute, John McWhorter noted:  "It has become a norm for black children to grow up in single-parent homes, their fathers away in prison for long spells and barely knowing them.  In poor and working-class black America, a man and a woman raising their children together is, of all things, an unusual sight."  The drug war plays an oversize role in this trend.  Keeping drugs illegal makes selling them more profitable than they would otherwise be.  As such, the war on drugs creates incentives for young black men to seek employment in the drug business rather than seek lower-paying legal employment.  This incentive structure unfortunately starts a vicious circle of incarceration followed by "a failure to build the job skills for legal employment that serve as a foundation for a productive existence in middle and later life," McWhorter continued.

11 Horrible Things Hillary Said To The NAACP About Cops And Race.  On Monday [7/18/2016], Hillary Clinton descended on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to pander to black Americans by bashing the police while telling black folks that every complaint they ever had about the cops is fully justified.  Hillary's ham-handed approach to pandering has been well-established:  whether she's painting herself as a Hispanic abuela or Tweeting in fluent Spanish or pretending she carries around hot sauce to pander to black radio hosts, Hillary's pandering is obvious and mechanical.

America's Worst President?  [Scroll down]  Believing that welfare payments constituted well-deserved reparations for 300 years of slavery and oppression, we New Yorkers created a come-and-get-it dole that ended up with one in eight of our neighbors on the welfare rolls — paid for by the rest of us and resulting in a multi-generational underclass.  We entertained the foolish notion that black crime was a manly revolt against oppression — that black criminals were only protesting against the closure of all avenues of honest advancement for their race, as well as against the daily humiliation heaped on African-Americans.  The resulting depolicing of black neighborhoods and unwillingness of courts to punish black criminals drove crime to Hobbesian levels and turned minority neighborhoods into killing fields, where mothers put their kids to bed in the bathtub, trying to keep them safe from stray bullets.  They would never send them out for a bottle of milk or take them into the street to learn to ride a bike.

Black against White.  Anyone who believed that Obama's policies were going to improve the lives of black Americans were oblivious to reality.  Economic advancement comes through hard work, coupled by the right policies.  Obama offered the wrong policies and allowed people to think that they no longer needed to put in the extra hours.  He would take care of them, would liberate them from the oppressive shackles of white racism.  His constituents refuse to see Obama as a Pied Piper so they continue to keep blaming white people.  Obama has not failed them.  White racists have obstructed his agenda and did not allow it to benefit them.  Yet, if you tell blacks that they are not responsible for their lives and tht anything bad that they do is the fault of their white puppet-masters, you are teaching a debilitating lesson.  They are learning that they are not responsible for their own actions.  If the deck is stacked against you, why bother?  Exonerating blacks while blaming white has been the hallmark of the Obama administration.

Why Dems Try to Break Black Hearts and Only Trump Can Fix It.  This election cycle is dominated by Democrat race-baiting as usual.  Trump's massively popular nationalist platform to stop illegal immigration and suspend Muslim immigration is labeled racist.  What is new are perfidious Republican leaders and pundits rushing to join Democrats in their false accusation against Trump.  Democrats have called every Presidential candidate for decades racist.  They have to.  Telling blacks that Republicans wish them ill keeps Democrats in power.  They don't care about the damage they are doing to the country and to black lives.  Blacks are cannon fodder in the Democrat war for power.  There is something profoundly depressing and pathetic that until Trump, our Republican leaders have been willing to write off the black vote and accept the Democrat poison that our party is made up of racist white people.

One Week After Orlando, Democrats Feature Anti-Gay Imam at Banquet.  On June 19th, the Florida Democratic Party held its annual Leadership Blue Gala event.  US Senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, was the keynote speaker.  Also listed as speakers were House Democratic Leader-Designate Janet Cruz, Senate Democratic Leader-Designate Oscar Braynon, DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, US Senator Bill Nelson, and Florida Democratic Chair Allison Tant.  However, one of the other speakers, Maulana Shafayat Mohamed, who partook in opening prayers, should have been the main concern.  Shafayat Mohamed is the imam of the Darul Uloom mosque, located in Pembroke Pines, Florida.  The mosque has been a haven for terror-related individuals, many of whom have been imprisoned — or, in one case, killed in an overseas anti-insurgent raid — due to their jihadist activities.

The Modern Enemies of Native Americans.  North America's native tribes are as complex and diverse as the immigrants which now populate the continent.  Historically, the federal government sought devious and violent means to control indigenous populations, and ultimately segregated most tribes by 'giving' them tribal lands and reservations.  This social experiment has failed many Native Americans, yet many more have successfully assimilated into contemporary life and economic activities.  But universally valued by native tribes are their ancient cultural identities and ancestral lands.  Despite "progress," the 21st Century finds the federal government still warring with some native tribes, while the American Left, namely the environmentalist movement, exploits their grievances, real or fabricated, to advance a progressive agenda.  Stories illustrating ongoing conflicts between Native Americans and federal agencies, environmentalist groups, and each other, are many and often heartbreaking.

The Killing Fields of Chicago.  Heather MacDonald's analysis of what is happening in Chicago today is accurate and frightening.  She shows what happens when cynical politicians and idealistic social justice warriors hijack law enforcement to impose a narrative on reality. [...] The larger narrative attempts to explain away the fact that the Obama presidency has been a miserable failure, especially when it comes to the lives of the inner city blacks who supported him so fervently.  As with all things Obama, the president's failures are explained away by racism.  As for the notion of exculpating criminals and terrorists, the response to the terrorist attack on the Pulse nightclub has shown us the pathetic spectacle of leftists, liberals and progressive shifting the blame from Islam, from Muslims and from the Obama administration... onto guns and on Christians.  In their eyes it all comes down to white privilege.

90% of the Racism in America Comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  I am uniquely positioned to say this because I spent most of my life on the Left and was a civil rights worker in the South in my early twenties.  I was also, to my everlasting regret, a donor to the Black Panther Party in the seventies.  So I have seen this personally from both sides and my conclusion is inescapable.  The Left is far, far worse.  They are obsessed with race in a manner that does not allow them to see straight.  Further, they project racism onto others continually, exacerbating situations, which in most instances weren't even there in the first place.  From Al Sharpton to Hillary Clinton, they all do it.  Barack Obama is one of the worst offenders in this regard.

Trump and Democratic Political Incorrectness.  Remember the time a presidential candidate suggested that Gandhi used to run "a gas station down in St.  Louis."  No it wasn't Trump.  That was Hillary Clinton.  Had Trump said it, we would still be hearing about it.  But since Hillary Clinton was responsible for it, it went down the memory hole.  Along with her more recent "Colored People Time" gag.  And who can forget the time that Trump said, "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."  But that wasn't Trump.  It was actually Vice President Joe Biden.  But still it was indisputably offensive when Trump told the Asian Chamber of Commerce, "I don't think you're smarter than anybody else, but you've convinced a lot of us you are."  Then he followed that up by joking, "One problem that I've had today is keeping my Wongs straight."  You would have to be ridiculously politically incorrect or an outright buffoon to say something like that to the Asian Chamber of Commerce.  And this is exactly why Trump is... but wait, those lines actually came from Democratic Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.

Sheriff Clarke:  Democrats 'decimated the black family'.  Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Sunday accused the Democratic Party of "bigotry" that has "decimated the black family."  Clarke, who has become a leading conservative black voice on gun rights and other issues, was responding to Hillary Clinton's charge Saturday evening that a Trump presidency would put "more kids at risk of violence and bigotry."  "If black kids are at risk from anybody, it's from other black kids in black-on-black crime," Clarke said.

The Democratic Party's Evolving Racism Toward Blacks.  [Scroll down]  Perhaps there is no clearer indicator that the Democratic Party cannot shake its historic view of African American potential than affirmative action.  They refuse to consider replacing race based affirmative action with affirmative action based on socio-economic status.  In other words, they insist that colleges lower admission standards for black students from wealthy families as compared to white students from poor families, since the African Americans are (always) "disadvantaged."  Further signs that, in reality, Democrats continue to hold African Americans in low regard is their venomous attack on blacks that don't support the liberal cause.  Today, Democrat treatment of conservative blacks is reminiscent of their treatment of all blacks before the "great party switch" of the 1960s.

Black Pastors Slam Obama Admin's Equivalence of Gender Identity Ideology with Black Civil Rights.  The president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) says that the Obama administration's assertion that single-sex bathrooms are discriminating against gender-confused individuals in much the same way that blacks experienced discrimination in the United States is a "gross insult" to all who fought for equality for African-Americans.

Where are racial gaps in school test scores worst?  The new national database of school-district test scores created by education researchers at Stanford and Harvard reveals that the single widest white-black racial gap in American public school districts is in the city most synonymous with leftism since 1964: Berkeley, California.  How badly do blacks lag whites in Berkeley public schools?  Berkeley's white-black gap is 1.60 standard deviations.  In other words, the median black student would score at only the 5th percentile if he were white.  Yet, Berkeley is ferociously antiracist.

The Secret Racist History of the Democratic Party.  Have you heard of Josiah Walls or Hiram Rhodes Revels?  How about Joseph Hayne Rainey?  If not, you're not alone.  I taught history and I never knew half of our nation's past until I began to re-educate myself by learning from original source materials, rather than modern textbooks written by progressive Democrats with an agenda.  Interestingly, Democrats have long ago erased these historic figures from our textbooks, only to offer deceitful propaganda and economic enticements in an effort to convince people, especially black Americans, that it's the Democrats rather than Republicans who are the true saviors of civil liberties.  Luckily, we can still venture back into America's real historical record to find that facts are stubborn things.

Why has there been an exodus of black residents from West Coast liberal hubs?  The Black Lives Matter movement has brought the challenges facing black America to the fore, and introduced racially conscious quality-of-life questions into the national debate.  How are black residents in America's cities faring?  And how are those cities doing in meeting the aspirations of their black residents, judged especially by the ultimate barometer: whether blacks choose to move to these cities, or stay in them?  Though results vary to some extent, the broad trend is clear:  West Coast progressive enclaves are either seeing an exodus of blacks or are failing to attract them.  Midwestern and Northeastern urban areas are attracting blacks to the extent that they are affordable or providing middle class economic opportunities.  And Southern cities are now experiencing the most significant gains.

Symbolism Instead of History.  [Scroll down]  In fact, Obama has done little for black people.  Larry Elder lays out the cold hard facts:  "The net worth of all non-white families has fallen almost 20 percent since Obama took office.  For blacks, it's even worse. [...]"  And the black unemployment rate is 9.2 percent, twice that of whites.  Black pundits, professors, and race-baiters have cleaned up on white guilt and vote-trolling Democrats, but blacks most in need have been abandoned.  Having done little for a majority of blacks, Obama instead has peddled the symbolic racial politics of outfits like Black Lives Matter, which claims that there is an epidemic of policemen wantonly gunning down innocent black men in the streets.

The Liberal War on Black Men.  In 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas, then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and former chairman of the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, to replace Thurgood Marshall on the U.S. Supreme Court. [...] The Senate Judiciary Committee, under the chairmanship of now-Vice President Joe Biden, allowed Thomas's nomination hearings to become a circus in which Thomas was dragged through a personal hell, resulting in him saying, after his confirmation:  "Mere confirmation, even to the Supreme Court, seemed pitifully small compensation for what had been done to me." [...] Rather than the nomination and appointment of a black man, who rose from humble and poor roots, to the U.S. Supreme Court, becoming a moment of pride for the nation and for black Americans, it was transformed, at these hearings, into an opportunity for character assassination and shame.

The long war against Clarence Thomas.  In its war for America, the left never rests, sometimes falters but rarely allows itself to fail.  It works tirelessly to "fundamentally transform the nation" and smashes anyone and anything that gets in its way.  Consider the pitched battle it has waged against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over the past quarter-century.  Instead of celebrating and honoring a black man who rose from grinding poverty in the segregated South to sit on the nation's highest court, the left sees an existential threat:  a black pro-life, pro-gun conservative who has spent his life crushing leftist orthodoxy.  He must, therefore, not simply be opposed, but destroyed, regardless of how long it takes.

Report: Chicago police have 'no regard' for minority lives.  Police in Chicago have "no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color" and have alienated blacks and Hispanics for decades by using excessive force and honoring a code of silence, a task force declared Wednesday [4/13/2016] in a report that seeks sweeping changes to the nation's third-largest police force.

Task force accuses Chicago police of institutional racism.  Chicago is once again seething with rage after a deadly shooting by a police officer, the latest in a spate of violence that has strained relations between the community and law enforcement.  Hundreds of residents took to the streets Tuesday night [4/12/2016], one day after authorities identified the person shot and killed by police as 16-year-old Pierre Loury.

The Editor says...
Before you get angry at the cops, ask yourself this question:  Which political party has ruled Chicago for the last several decades?  If there is a system that condones excessive force and permits a "code of silence," who is to blame?  The correct answer is:  the Democrats!

Sanders Says He'll Apologize For Slavery.  He Should Start By Apologizing For Socialism.  [Scroll down]  Sanders thinks he has a shot at the nomination if he can just pry enough black support away from Hillary.  So he'll say anything, including imputing pro-slavery motivations to his opponents.  In reality, of course, the president apologizing for slavery 150 years after its conclusion only exacerbates racial tensions by reinforcing the notion that America is irredeemably racist; Sanders' protestations that he wants to "wipe the slate clean" are nonsense.  Teaching yet another generation of young black people that America was born in sin and raised in evil and bears a stain that will never be washed away — all of that will do nothing to empower individuals to take responsibility for their own lives.  But Sanders doesn't want individuals taking responsibility for their own lives.  It's government's job to take responsibility for everybody's life — to seize from them their property and their labor for its own ends.  Which, come to think of it, sounds a lot more like involuntary servitude than freedom.

Under Obama, race relations [are] at [an] all-time low.  A poll finds that more than one-third of Americans say they worry "a great deal" about the state of race relations in the United States, the highest number in the poll's 15-year span.  Thirty-five percent of Americans in the Gallup survey released Monday [4/11/2016] said they are extremely worried about the state of race relations, up from 28 percent in 2015.  That number is also up by more than 100 percent since 2014, when 17 percent of Americans said they were greatly worried about racial strife in America.  The numbers fluctuated in the teens during President Obama's first six years in office, but race relations tumbled to a new low during the first black president's last two years.

Magic Honky Theory.  For as long as most people reading this have been alive, the cult in charge of America has preached the need for full integration.  This has led to endless campaigns to "desegregate" the schools, housing, jobs, sports clubs, etc. [...] The way around this has been to argue that "diversity" makes everyone better somehow.  This proximity effect only works in your neighborhood, of course.  The bunkered enclaves where our betters live are almost all white.  Like so much of what these people say in public, it is intended to obscure, not explain.  Ask these people why diversity is good and they start mumbling about their favorite Ethiopian restaurant.  Western civilization did OK without having a single Ethiopian restaurant for a few millennia, but we're to believe it is now a necessity.

When Black Voters Exited Left.  While the passage of the Civil Rights Act helped Johnson earn support from 94 percent of black voters in 1964, there is a gulf between what black Americans hoped the legislation would achieve and what Democratic politicians actually delivered.  Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped end apartheid conditions in the South, a critical objective for which grassroots black Southern activists fought and died, the legislation did little to address the structures of racism that shaped black lives in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.  This was an intentional consequence of how the bill's sponsors, largely liberals from the North, Midwest, and West, crafted the legislation.

Con Artists: How the Democrat Party Eviscerated the Black Family Unit.  It's well known how in 1965 Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assistant secretary of labor to Democrat President Johnson, warned that the black family was on the verge of a "complete breakdown" because of growing illegitimacy rates:  in 1963 the out-of-wedlock birth rate for whites was 3 percent, and for blacks it was 23.6 percent.  Moynihan was part of a generation of Democrats who cared about lifting blacks up into the ranks of equal opportunity with whites, back in the days before the Democrat Party became completely morally corrupt.  In his 1965 "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," Moynihan observed that because more blacks were being born into unmarried homes, more blacks were becoming dependent on welfare to survive.

Blacks Mainly Backslide under Obama.  With President Obama's gas tank now less than an eighth full, it's amazing where he has taken black Americans.  Mainly, it's been a long ride in reverse.  Even liberal black broadcaster Tavis Smiley has criticized Obama for this.  As Smiley told HuffPost Live's Alyona Minkovski, "Sadly — and it pains me to say this — over the last decade, black folk, in the era of Obama, have lost ground in every major economic category."  Smiley is almost completely correct.  Based on the Obama administration's own latest-available statistics by the most basic economic-performance metrics — with one key exception — black Americans are worse off now than when Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009.

A Trump-Lover's Manifesto.  [Scroll down]  People who engage in these real forms of racism always keep their agenda secret, which is why they are the loudest attackers against Trump.  He blows their cover by getting people everywhere to say what they really think about race instead of continuing America's politically correct charade.  True malevolence adores secrecy and dissembling.  More often than not, racial injustice thrives under disguises of condescension, exploitation, and mental manipulation.  Higher education, Hollywood, and big-city bureaucracies are the biggest foes of Black Lives Matter despite the fact that they are universally led by Democrats who claim to love and defend people of color.

Widely Held Beliefs That Are Either Untrue or Meaningless, Part 2.  A pillar of contemporary leftism is the notion of "white privilege."  Given that a generation of high school and college students are being taught that a great number of "unearned privileges" accrue to white Americans — the charge of white privilege demands rational inquiry.  The assertion turns out to be largely meaningless.  And more significantly, it does great harm to blacks. [...] So, then why all this left-wing talk about white privilege?  The major reason is in order to portray blacks as victims.  This achieves two huge goals for the left, one political, the other philosophical.  The political goal is to ensure that blacks continue to view America as racist.  The left knows that the only way to retain political power in America is to perpetuate the belief among black Americans that their primary problem is white racism.  Only then will blacks continue to regard the left and the Democrats as indispensable.

A Refresher on Supreme Court Nominations.  [Scroll down]  As the hearing progressed the Democrats saw that they were losing this battle.  Committee Chairmen Joe Biden's questioning had failed to reveal a chink in the defensive armor of [Clarence] Thomas.  The Democrats were reduced to bringing in a ringer; an unknown [woman] named Anita Hill.  Her testimony elicited the intended, feigned outrage, fueled by coordinated efforts.  However, Thomas, now justifiably outraged, struck back:  "This is a circus.  It's a national disgrace.  And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.  You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree."  Thomas fought back and was confirmed by the narrowest of margins.

With An All-White Candidate Slate, Democrats Fret About White Voters.  The Democrats' continuous bean-counting about race may just be catching up to them.  Last week, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid defended the patently undemocratic "superdelegate" system in the early Democratic Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, (both of which stiffed Bernie Sanders on delegates) as necessary because the states' Democratic voters are just too white for him.

Hillary X.  [Scroll down]  Hillary as a candidate and a person has no connection to the black community.  Her husband was routinely called "the first black president" during his tenure, but that was meaningless shtick used to placate discontented voters.  What has Hillary done to earn anyone's vote, let alone support specifically from black voters?  Nothing.  Well, nothing except pandering.  Progressives derive their power from division — race, gender, sexuality, income, you name it.  Racial division is their political "comfort food," their most successful weapon.  And it's about to be deployed like never before.

White Lady with $650K Speaking Fee Wants Black Americans to Know She's Down with Their Struggle.  [Scroll down]  I'm glad we are finally getting around to airing out a subject that's been put on the back burner for so long.  After the Democrats got a free pass on making the African-American citizens of Detroit significantly poorer for almost half of a century, Hillary probably rightfully feels that there is no level of Demspeak feel-good pandering that she can't get away with now.

Why Are Liberals So Racist When It Comes to Clarence Thomas?  There's something endlessly fascinating about the left's insistence that Clarence Thomas is not "authentically" black — that this descendant of slaves, this grandson of sharecroppers, this hardworking man who rose to the grandest heights of the legal profession, is a traitor to his race and his class.  I don't know what it is about Thomas that drives the left so nuts, but it's there, and it's very real.  Could you imagine what would happen if someone on the right described a brilliant liberal African-American of being no more than a slave controlled by white devils?

Bernie Sanders confronted by supporters demanding slavery reparations as he courts the black vote.  Bernie Sanders was repeatedly pressed to endorse reparations tonight by his own supporters at a 'Black America' community forum.  'I know you're scared to say 'black,' I know you're scared to say 'reparations,' panelist Felicia Perry said, then told him, 'Can you please talk specifically about black people and reparations?'  Sanders replied, 'You and I may have a disagreement on this,' but 'it's not just black.  This is Latinos.  There are areas of America, more rural areas where its whites, OK?  As he talked about income inequality and poverty in the 'African-American community an audience member interrupted to urge him to use the term 'black.'  'I've said 'black' 50 times.  That's the 51st,' Sanders declared.

Black lives don't matter to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton — only black votes.  Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is running such a white campaign that he rushed to New York City the day after his New Hampshire win to have breakfast with Al Sharpton to buy, I mean beg, for the black vote.  Fresh off the heels of walloping Hillary by 22 percent margin, one would think Sanders would take a moment to celebrate or head to the next primary state South Carolina to campaign.  But ironically for the Democrat Party that professes diversity, Sanders is the whitest candidate running.  He represents Vermont, one of the whitest states in the US; he won the New Hampshire primary, one of the whitest primaries (with over 90 percent white population).

Sanders: We Must End Over-Policing in African-American Neighborhoods.  Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for an end of "over-policing" in black neighborhoods during the PBS Democratic presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wis., on Thursday night [2/11/2016].  "What we have to do is end over-policing in African-American neighborhoods.  The reality is that both the African-American community and the white community do marijuana at about equal rates," Sanders said.  "The reality is four times as many blacks get arrested for marijuana.  Truth is that far more blacks get stopped for traffic violations."

The Editor says...
Who says those neighborhoods are over-policed?  The police should go where the crimes and criminals are.  Is Bernie's concern really about (the votes of) blacks, or is he really after the legalization of marijuana?

The Myths of Black Lives Matter.  A television ad for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign now airing in South Carolina shows the candidate declaring that "too many encounters with law enforcement end tragically."  She later adds:  "We have to face up to the hard truth of injustice and systemic racism."

Ben Carson: Black Dependence on Democrats Has Meant 'Poverty and Broken Homes and Crime and Incarceration'.  GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson discussed the overwhelming level of support for the Democrat Party among Black Americans during an interview on Breitbart News Daily interview with host Stephen K. Bannon.  Carson says that relationship, "has yielded more poverty and broken homes and crime and incarceration and it's completely unnecessary."  "We need to talk about the effects of out of wedlock birth.  How that stops that woman's education and sends that child into poverty," he later added.

The Four Types of Socialists.  Socialists reject the idea that the government serves the people and embrace the idea that the government rules the people.  After all, if the people are too stupid to wisely spend their own money they clearly need help in surviving life.  The attitude is very similar to the one slave owners used in an attempt to justify slavery.  According to the slavers, Blacks just couldn't take care of themselves and they needed the "helping hand" of white folk to survive.

Left spin cycle: Cruz and Rubio aren't, you know... Latino Latino.  We're having ourselves an historic presidential campaign in case you hadn't noticed.  Sure, we've only had one state vote so far, but a new record has been set.  We now have not one, but two Hispanic candidates who have received more votes and more delegates than any other in the history of presidential primaries.  This is a truly great day for diversity and the future of the American melting pot.  Or at least it would be if either of them had been Democrats.

NYT Column: Cruz & Rubio [are] Not Really Latino Because [they are] Not Liberal.  Your last name could be Cruz or Rubio but unless you pass the stringent political tests of certain self-appointed gatekeepers, you are not authentically Latino.  One such gatekeeper is Roberto Suro who wrote in a New York Times column that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can't be considered to really be Latino because they do not subscribe to liberal identity politics.

Colorblind America: A Malignant Fallacy.  Yes, African Americans are slightly more conservative than white Americans on social issues such as abortion and school prayer.  The problem is that African Americans do not vote on these issues.  They vote on one issue:  race.  Wealthy blacks are just as likely as poor blacks to vote for the Democratic candidate.  The reason is simple:  The Democrats are willing to give blacks more goodies.  Republicans should recognize that in the short term there is no way to win the black vote.  What they should do, therefore, is allow the Democratic Party to be the party of blacks and black demands.

Is the Left Even on America's Side Anymore?  [Scroll down]  The Left is blind to the responsibility of inner-city populations for their off-the-charts violent-crime rates.  The failure to embrace the responsibilities of parenthood is as characteristic of the progressive attitude as is its blindness to the betrayal of inner-city communities by Democrats, responsible almost entirely for the disgraceful condition of America's cities.  Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, and numerous other centers of out-of-control black poverty, failed public-school systems, and black-on-black violence are 100 percent controlled by the Democratic party and have been so for 50 to 100 years.  Yet 95 percent of the black vote and 100 percent of the progressive vote continues to go to Democrats who oppress African Americans.

The Nastiest Insult to Call a Black Man, According to Liberals.  When you're an outspoken black conservative like I am, you grow accustomed to vile names, hate mail, disdainful attitudes, snide comments, and the like.  For reasons unknown, Caucasians espousing conservative values are not sellouts to their fellow white folk, but blacks and Hispanics are. [...] Pretty much all of these personal attacks come from self-described open-minded, inclusive, minority-loving liberal types who cannot see the blatant hypocrisy of their own positions.

Why Fund Amtrak? Because All Must Serve The Capitol.  [Scroll down]  The left is always dabbling in fictional dystopias where there is a yawning chasm between rich and poor, where the country is riven by racial conflict, and where the whole nation has to be impoverished to serve the power and vanity of the Capitol — and yet somehow this is the system they always create when they're in power, in places like Baltimore and Chicago.

Obama and the Democrats' War on Black America.  It may appear to Black Americans that Barack Obama is in their corner, but it's a cunning deception.  His presidency has had a truly malevolent effect on the Black community — by design.  The sole evidence that the White House has any interest whatever in Black America has been an unending stream of rhetoric alleging racism by police against Blacks.  Such a campaign can only spawn more resistance to police in encounters between Blacks and cops.  And since crime is far more prevalent in Black neighborhoods, those encounters are inevitable.  An ancillary Obama campaign makes constant reference to Jim Crow seeping out of every crevice in our society.  In an interview with comedian Marc Maron, he actually driveled this out, after admitting that "race relations have improved significantly during my lifetime."

Rename the Racist Democrat Party.  Former Democratic President Woodrow Wilson may be purged from his alma mater, Princeton University. [...] But if Princeton has to rename anything carrying Woodrow Wilson's name, are there any Democratic presidents that the party and its faithful partisans can keep?  FDR enforced segregation through red-lining and liked to tell jokes about "darkies".  Truman wrote, "I think one man is as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a n--ger or a Chinaman."  JFK was disgusted by interracial marriage.  LBJ liked to describe the Civil Rights Act as "the n--ger bill".  Jimmy Carter ran for governor promising that "I can win this election without a single black vote" and accused his opponent of liking Martin Luther King.  Bill Clinton's view of Obama?  "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."  If Woodrow Wilson gets the boot for being racist, there isn't a single Democratic president from the last century who can survive the politically correct inquisition.  They were all racist.  Every last one of them.

Does Any of This Campus Turmoil Have to Do with Race?  It is important not to be fooled by all the outward appearances of these campus Chernobyls.  First of all, a small percentage of students are involved in these shenanigans.  Most are busy trying to finish their work or looking on in horror.  Second, racial minorities are simply being exploited in a gigantic bait and switch.  It is usually not students, but rather provocateurs off campus or nestled in the administration who are behind the sit-ins, snap-fests, marches, and mass confessionals.  The easiest way to prove this is by looking at the lists of demands.  There is invariably a lot of bizarre attention paid to the misdeeds of some administrative position and calls for a reorganization of the bureaucratic leadership.  "Fire the vice provost and promote the associate director."  Students don't write stuff like that.

The Curious Case of Black Advocates and MSM Hatred for Dr. Ben Carson.  Racism along with every other sin will exist until Jesus returns.  However, the notion that blacks are suffering, held back, routinely murdered by cops, and victimized by "white privilege" is absurd.  These narratives are manipulative tools to keep blacks voting for Democrats.  Suckered blacks believe voting for Democrats will keep racist white America and Republicans at bay.  After 50 years of voting for Democrats, black life continues to spiral downward in cites controlled by Democrats. [...] The undeniable truth is the American dream is alive and well for all who choose to go for it.  The only real stumbling block for blacks is Obama's economy.

Why the Conventional Wisdom Has Been All Wrong This Election Season.  After Barack Obama's two successful presidential elections, liberal and supposedly far more inclusive Democrats declared themselves the only party that looks like the new multiracial America.  Republicans, in contrast, were written off as mostly old white fogies — has-beens bitterly clinging to their fading prior privilege.  The campaign has exploded that myth too.  The Republican field is far more diverse, although the candidates see their ethnicity as incidental rather than essential, in bumper-sticker fashion, to their personas.

Apache leader offended by Redskins name wore blackface for Halloween.  An American Indian leader and outspoken opponent of the Washington Redskins' team name reportedly dressed up in blackface for Halloween.  Terry Rambler, chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona, posted a Facebook picture of himself as Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley, complete with a dreadlocks wig and blackface makeup, the New York Post reported.

Apache leader who criticized Redskins is sorry for Halloween blackface costume.  Two years ago, San Carlos Apache chairman Terry Rambler was at the White House, meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the "racially offensive" name of the Washington Redskins.  Last week, Rambler was in blackface.  On Sunday [11/1/2015], the Arizona tribe leader posted a Facebook photo of himself dressed as Bob Marley for Halloween, complete with fake dreadlocks and blackface makeup.  The picture has caused outrage, especially given Rambler's own public protests against racism towards Native Americans.

Video Proof: CNN's Attack On Ben Carson's Biography Is Racially-Motivated.  CNN's recent and troubling history of anti-black bias is well documented.  The left-wing network has been sued for racial bias, is infamous for ginning up violence in predominantly black neighborhoods, and has faced scrutiny by the National Association of Black Journalists for its treatment of black staffers.  It is no surprise, then, to discover that CNN is currently on a racially-motivated rampage to undermine Ben Carson's biography, and by extension, his presidential ambitions.

'Colored Person' Association president calls Ben Carson 'safe negro'.  I thought terms like "colored people" and "negro" were considered derogatory to blacks.  And yet we still have organizations called The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the United Negro College Fund.  The Brooklyn head of the NAACP in an interview referred to Ben Carson as a "Safe Negro."  After an uproar, she claimed she was referring to what other people thought of Carson, though she still affirmed that she thought he was "safe" for Republican voters.

Why Are Asian-Americans Such Loyal Democrats?  In just two decades, Asian-American support for the Democratic presidential candidate more than doubled, from the 31 percent Bill Clinton got in 1992 to the 73 percent cast for President Obama in 2012, according to exit polls.  This shift followed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, developments that freed anti-Communist Asian immigrants — those with roots in China or Korea, for example — from single-issue ideological concerns that had previously drawn them to the Republican Party.  Today, Asian-Americans, a population of 17.2 million, are among the fastest growing constituencies of the Democratic Party.

'Dangerous Token Negro': DC Media's Destruction Of Carson Is Just getting Started.  Let me be very, very clear about one thing:  The DC Media cannot allow Dr. Ben Carson to become President of the United States.  And if the DC Media has to put on white robes, burn crosses, grab firehoses, and sic German Shepherds on Carson, they will.  In fact, they already have.  Not literally, but the tactics and the goals are exactly the same:  By any means necessary, destroy the free-thinking black man who threatens our power.

Welfare Mom Has 52 Kids/Grand-kids: A victim of Leftist Deceptions, Promises and Betrayals.  Barbara's life could have been so much more.  Barbara's life is the legacy of loyalty to Democrats.  For fifty years Democrats have been promising blacks better lives from government dependency and voting Democrat.  And yet, today rather than fewer Barbaras, in Baltimore and other cities controlled by Democrats, there are more Barbaras than ever.  Over 70 percent of black kids grow up in fatherless, government dependent households which breeds poverty, incarceration, black on black crime, epidemic school dropouts and substance abuse.

Welfare and Race.  A single graphic explains why it is a waste of time for the GOP to try to challenge Democrat hegemony among blacks and Hispanics.

African Americans keep waiting for 'better' from Emanuel.  Black Chicago must be suffering from a bad case of buyer's remorse.  Mayor Rahm Emanuel was re-elected on April 7 in a hard-fought runoff election.  African-American voters bought in and elected a mayor who promised to "do better" for Chicago.  Black voters made the difference then and in 2011, when Emanuel was first elected on the strength of his high-powered résumé and his close ties to Barack Obama, America's first black president.

Obama's Tragic Legacy for Black Americans.  At the urging of labor unions, President Obama has pushed for higher minimum wages that price a disproportionate percentage of blacks out of the labor force.  At the urging of teachers unions, he has fought voucher programs that give ghetto children access to better schools.  Both policies have a lengthy track record of keeping millions of blacks ill-educated and unemployed.

Mike Barnicle: Ben Carson a 'Political Nut-Boy'.  For nearly three decades, Ben Carson was the head of pediatric neurosurgery at one of the world's best hospitals.  To MSNBC panelist Mike Barnicle, however, Carson is a "political nut-boy" who reminds him of a patient at a certain type of hospital.

Virginia's first black governor says Obama ignored blacks.  L. Douglas Wilder, in his new autobiography Son of Virginia, expressed deep disappointment with America's first black president, calling him "aloof" and "tone deaf" to blacks' needs, leaving African-Americans to ask, "When is our time coming?"  Wilder, governor from 2005-09, and who served twice as mayor of Richmond, wrote, "This was not the 'hope and change' president we had expected."

Black Lives and the Death of a Culture.  Do black lives matter?  You wouldn't know it by looking at the governmental policies that have been in place since the Civil Rights Movement.  No policy since then has done anything but make black lives worse.  Affirmative Action, Aid to Dependent Children, food stamps, welfare.  Okay.  These programs have allowed for the accumulation of TVs and cars and microwaves and AC.  But those things don't give a person purpose or a sense of self-worth, a hope for the future.  Are these young people angry because white cops are mowing them down willy-nilly? No — because that isn't happening.  Are they starving?  No — EBT cards allow them the same diet the rest of have and they don't even have to work.  But there's the rub.  Work provides much more than a living.  Work can provide a goal, a hope, a possibility.  You can feed a body with food, but a soul requires a more esoteric diet.  It requires actual achievement, actual struggle to arrive at that success.  It requires self-understanding and respect.  It requires reason — things have to make sense.  It requires truth.  These angry young people have had none of that.

Reality Therapy for Liberals.  Look at what has happened to our black urban communities since the father was made irrelevant by Lyndon Johnson's Great Society policies.  Here we are now, nearly a half century later and the ghettos are worse than ever, over 70% of black mothers are single moms, in New York City 69% of black pregnancies end in abortion.  High school graduation for blacks is only 69%.  Unemployment especially amongst young black males peaked in 2009 at 49%, drug use and incarceration rates are off the charts.  Obviously, a society cannot function without strong families headed by strong fathers; it takes no leap of faith to reach that conclusion.  Yet people still contend that family is merely a human construct and can be redefined willy-nilly.

#BlackLivesMatter's agenda is costing black lives.  I've seen this movie before.  And for the last 25 years, I thought I'd never have to watch it again.  But now it's playing, not in theaters, but all over mainstream media, with something like rave reviews from the president and his administration.  The theme of the movie is that there is an epidemic of racist white policemen, gunning down innocent black people.  The movie's message, implicit but unambiguous, is that the police must be restrained from vigorous enforcement of the law.  That was the message of the Black Power movement half a century ago, and it is the message of the #BlackLivesMatter movement today.

How Democrats Created America's Social Caste System.  For over two hundred years Democrats have worked to create and maintain a low caste based upon race.  For example, it was Democrats who wanted to maintain the South's system of race-based labor exploitation known as slavery.  In the 1820s Democrats who were anxious to maintain the low caste refused to follow federal laws that banned the existence of this caste in new states.  America's Civil War was not started by the North to abolish slavery.  Rather, it was started by the South in order to preserve slavery. [...] To this day, many blacks and Hispanics do not realize that the poverty and racial segregation they endure has been created by Democrats.  Democrats preach equality but seek to make the social castes unequal.  This is done to maintain their political power and control over the nation.

Surprise: Murder Rates Rise In Mostly Democratic Party Run Cities.  One has to ask why Liberals are not only not concerned by the high violent crime rates within the Black community, but why they seemingly defend Blacks killing each other off [and why] they deflect attention away from this.  Do they just not care?  One can even stretch and think that Liberals want Blacks to kill each other off.  They've obtained a situation where Blacks live in high concentrations in liberal cities, and vote Democratic Party at a rate that would make 3rd world dictators happy.  All while Democratic Party policies create highly negative living conditions and high rates of violent crime.

The left's deranged attack on Clarence Thomas.  Black lives matter — unless, apparently, you're Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.  The left is renewing its venomous, racist attacks on Thomas in the aftermath of his dissent in the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in favor of gay marriage.  Actor George Takei smeared Thomas as a "clown in blackface."  The Huffington Post called his dissent "beyond ridiculous" and tarred him as a hypocrite for opposing a court-created "right" to gay marriage:  "Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman — something that would be illegal today, if it weren't for the Supreme Court's historic Loving v. Virginia ruling."  As if his personal life is fair game.

The Democrats: Too Old and Too White?  [Scroll down]  For Democratic progressives, Hawaiian Barack Obama could not be of mixed ancestry and decidedly middle class, but simply "black" or "African American" — as if he had shared the Jim Crow experience of Clarence Thomas.  Nor was there any allowance that race itself had become hard to sort into neat categories in a nation of immigration, intermarriage, and assimilation, in which millions of Americans were one-half this and one-quarter that.  Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King proved that well enough by successfully constructing themselves as white for quite a long time.  Liberals had reversed the vision of Martin Luther King Jr.:  The color of our skin, not the content of our character, is what matters.

Generations of Stolen Black Dreams.  Black unemployment, particularly under Obama, is extremely high.  While many blacks have achieved their American dream, many have not.  That is not white America's fault.  Behavioral issues are laying waste to the black community.  Over 70% fatherless households and 70% school dropouts leads to gangs, drugs, blacks murdering blacks and incarceration; all resulting in poverty.  So what is Obama's solution to fixing these problems plaguing blacks?  He lets drug dealers who prey on urban youths out of jail, claiming their crime is non-violent.  He has his DOJ bully police across America to back off urban thugs.  Obama minion Baltimore mayor said, "Let them loot.  It's only property."  Violent crime is up big-time in Chicago, New York and Baltimore.

Marco Rubio: The Newest Member of Black Lives Matter.  Every politician has a go-to guy for black issues:  A black person to keep it real with the latest information from the streets about riots, rampage and rap.  Senator Corey Booker's guy is named T-Bone.  Booker met T-Bone — a drug dealer — when Booker moved into The Ghetto of Newark during his second year of Yale Law School.  Booker started telling stories about T-Bone during his unsuccessful race for mayor of Newark in 2002. [...] One problem:  T-Bone was a dream.  A fairy tale.  A lie.

Hillary Clinton: Let's Be Honest, Black Men In Hoodies Are Scary.  Add this one to the "imagine if she were a Republican" files:  old white lady expresses fear of young black men, political funeral details to come.  During a campaign speech on Thursday [7/23/2015], Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton touched on race, saying that even "open-minded white people" are sometimes afraid of hoodie-wearing black people:  [Video clip]

Under Obama, Blacks Are Worse Off — Far Worse.  Ninety-five percent of black voters in 2008 voted for then-Sen. Barack Obama.  Surely a "progressive" black president would care about, empathize with and understand black America in a way no other president ever has or could, right? [...] After six years, the report card is in.  The grades are not pretty.  By every key economic measurement, blacks are worse off under Obama.  In some cases, far worse off.  What about poverty?  In 2009, when Obama took office, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent.  As of 2014, according to Pew Research Center, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent.  What about income?  CNNMoney says, "Minority households' median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites."

Alveda King to Congressional Black Caucus: Lead Investigations of Planned Parenthood.  Dear Congressional Black Caucus, I am writing to you today because my heart is heavy over the deafening silence coming from you regarding a recent video that has gone viral exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted babies' body parts.  If they or anyone else had been exposed for harvesting and selling animal body parts, there would be such an outrage from the left and right.  "Save the whales!  Save the dolphins!  Save the doggies and cats!" people would declare.  But for some reason it seems to be okay to chop up the unborn babies and harvest their body parts.

If the Confederate flag offends you, ask who designed it.  After alleged mass murderer Dylann Roof was captured, news media discovered a photo of him with the Confederate battle flag.  Somehow, this flag has become an issue that more than one Democratic spokesperson has asserted will become a problem for Republicans in the 2016 election.  How can that be? [...] This flag was designed by Democrats.  Democrats whipped slaves under this flag.  After the Confederacy was defeated, Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the Ku Klux Klan, which continued to carry the Confederate battle flag during a reign of terror against blacks and Republicans.  The Confederate battle flag was raised on the grounds of the state house in South Carolina by a Democratic governor.  A Republican governor ordered it taken down.  Why would this be a problem for Republicans?

Thanks to Obama, Racial Division Will Never End.  Obama is the president of the United States, yet he persists on dividing us, not uniting us.  It is the goal of the Left to break us all down into groups, so that you can be "treated fairly" by your benevolent government.  Let's say you are black.  No matter what your background, experience, family life, likes, dislikes, work ethic, whether you are a professional or unemployed, you are going to be treated as if the government has to fix things for you, even if you don't want them "fixed" — and it's all for your own good.

For Planned Parenthood Black Livers Matter.  If you have ever witnessed one of those "spontaneous" pro-abortion demonstrations held in Washington whenever Congress contemplates curtailing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, you may have noticed that there was something missing — African-American demonstrators.  This is odd, considering that black women are far more likely to have abortions than are their Caucasian counterparts.  And, examined in light of the now infamous video of a white Planned Parenthood official discussing how to crush a baby without damaging marketable livers and other organs, it is particularly ominous.  Why?  Because the terminated baby will probably have been black, and that is no coincidence

America, the Beautiful.  As a black man in my sixties, yes, I have encountered racism.  But for the most part, whites and America have been extremely good to me.  When I was a boy in the hood of Baltimore, several white politicians awarded me scholarships to pursue my dream of becoming a graphic artist.  During and after college several so-called "evil white men" according to a NY Times article, employed me, treated me well, and furthered my career.  And yet, when I say I love my country and am proud to be an American, Leftists/Democrats look at me cross-eyed, accuse me of disloyalty to my race.  I am supposed to be mad, feel resentful and victimized.  Sorry, but I can't go there, embracing hate and a victim mindset.

Donald Trump's Criminal Illegal Immigrants.  [Scroll down]  The only way illegal immigrants can ever obtain good jobs is by obtaining a good education, yet Democrats and their liberal enablers intentionally have successfully forced, through Federal regulation, all product labels, election ballots, and so on be printed in Spanish as well as English.  This action permanently disables illegal immigrants and their children from ever obtaining good paying, English speaking, jobs.  The progressives want them to be low paid, just as they've always wanted black voters to be low paid.  So here we have proof that progressives don't want to pay illegal immigrants much money for their menial work.  This is the exact attitude that they claim capitalists have toward the masses of workers.

Fiddling Away the Future.  Forty-three years ago, there were roughly 1,500 black elected officials nationwide.  According to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, by 2011 there were roughly 10,500 black elected officials, including a black president.  But what were the fruits?  By most any measure, the problems are worse.  There is the greatest black poverty, poorest education, highest crime and greatest family instability in cities such as:  Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Calif., Memphis, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Buffalo, N.Y.  The most common characteristic of these predominantly black cities is that, for decades, all of them have been run by Democratic and presumably liberal administrations.  What's more is that in most of these cities, blacks have been mayors, chiefs of police, school superintendents and principals and have dominated city councils.

The White Privilege Lie.  Of all the invectives launched against the United States by the resurgent American Left, the charge that in America, White Privilege reigns supreme is the most insidious and culturally ruinous.  Its intent is unambiguous:  leftists perpetuate the White Privilege lie to smear America and its institutions as inherently racist, and therefore unworthy of adulation and in need of fundamental socioeconomic transformation.  The ultimate power of the White Privilege calumny lies in its capacity to impugn the virtue of American patriotism and the idea of American exceptionalism.

The Editor says...
Liberals keep talking about white privilege, as if it's a bad thing.  But logically, if being white is a privilege, it must be superior to the alternatives.  Anyone who gives a moment's thought to their logic can see that "white privilege" is a problem that doesn't exist.

Why it's Republicans, not Democrats, who really offer African-Americans hope for a better life.  Fifty years ago, Republicans and Democrats came together to enshrine in law the principle that all of us, regardless of race, color, or national origin, are created equal.  Because of that, today America is a better, more tolerant and more welcoming place than it has ever been.  So why is it that so many black families still feel left behind?  A quarter of African-Americans live below the poverty line, even with federal programs like food stamps and housing subsidies, and the supplemental poverty rate for African-Americans is nearly double the rate for other Americans.

Progressive Mass Hysteria.  [Scroll down]  In fact, no president of the 20th century disliked blacks in general and integration in particular as much as the Southern segregationist Woodrow Wilson, although he adroitly cloaked his racial hatred with a thin veneer of liberal academic respectability as president of Princeton University and author of several progressive tracts.  The writings and speeches of Margaret Sanger, founder of what evolved into Planned Parenthood, trumped the biases of Wilson.  Her progressive version of eugenics fueled much of her family-planning agenda.  She saw reproductive rights as inseparable from discouraging the supposedly less gifted (in her view, mostly non-whites) from having lots of children.

Will Democrats Apologize for Slavery and Segregation?  Dear Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz: [...] In 1860 your platform said:  "Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon these questions of Constitutional law."  This was, in fact, an endorsement of the infamous Dred Scott decision by the Court, a decision which legal scholars say was designed to write slavery into the Constitution.  And your party approved of it.  As the Civil War was ending your party opposed the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment — which ended slavery. [...] For decades your party gave free rein to the Klan and its rabid, racist violence.  In 1924 the Klan ran your Democratic Convention in New York's Madison Square Garden, known to history as the "Klan bake" convention.  Time and time and time again your party selected Klan members to represent it in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House as well as state governorships and all manner of local officials.

Will Dems apologize?  In an open letter to DNC Chairman Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, Jeffrey Lord provides a readout of the tangled history of the Democratic Party with slavery, segregation, lynching, and the Ku Klux Klan.  Lord draws on the Democratic Party platforms of 1840, 1844, 1856 and 1860.  He adds that, as the Civil War drew to a close, the Democrats opposed the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment (ending slavery), and proceeded afterwards also to oppose the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  Lord has more, all in the spirit of the moment; Lord calls on Schultz to apologize on behalf of the party.

The Top Five Most Racist Presidents.  [#3]  Franklin Delano Roosevelt:  FDR spoke at the 1924 Democrat National Convention, also known as the "Klanbake" for the "heavy representation of Ku Klux Klan-friendly delegates," as reported at the Wall Street Journal.  According to Digital History, after the Klanbake, "some 20,000 Klan supporters wearing white hoods and robes held a picnic in New Jersey... "  Roosevelt appointed "confidant" James Byrnes to the Supreme Court, who was so powerful that he was known as the "assistant president on the home front" and who "believed in racial segregation... and worked to defeat anti-lynching bills introduced in Congress."  Despite the fact that Byrnes was not elected by the people, FDR "assigned Byrnes more powers than ever held by a public official."  Even worse, FDR appointed prominent Ku Klux Klan member Hugo Black to the Supreme Court.

The History of the Racist Democrat Party.  Mark Levin spent much of his first hour last night laying out the evil 'missing history' of the racist Democratic Party, digging in deeper than most to reveal things that many just don't know.  [Audio clip.]

The Monuments to the Framers of The Southern Manifesto of 1956.  If there is no honor in the memories evoked by the Confederate flag, then there is even less to be found in the statues depicting those prominent politicians who fought for segregation well into the 20th century.

The Progressive Timeline.  Race is the most obvious big social issue which has been totally controlled by Progressives.  Since the 1950's, the Left has had a free hand in trying to[ ]make the races get along.  They even control the definition of "getting along."  Despite this, the last few years has been a non-stop campaign to "fix" race, as well as a cynical effort to cause a race war.  After the church shooting, every member of the Cult was out in the streets claiming nothing has changed since the last time a white guy killed a bunch of black people, which was fifty years ago.  Normal people would look at the near total absence of white on black crime in the South, relative to the bad old days, as an amazing development.  To the Left, this has not happened and it is still 1955.

Another Racist To Be Evicted from American History: Woodrow Wilson.  If our public life is going to be all race all the time, with a view toward expunging all traces of racists from honored positions in American history, then Woodrow Wilson is a prime candidate for the memory hole.  At InstaPundit, Randy Barnett sets out Wilson's record as a racist in detail.  Wilson re-segregated federal agencies that had been integrated during Reconstruction.  W.E.B. DuBois called Wilson's segregationist and discriminatory policies the "gravest attack on the liberties" of African Americans since Emancipation.  Booker T. Washington visited D.C. during Wilson's first term and reported, "I have never seen the colored people so discouraged and bitter as they are at the present time."  Wilson was an unequivocal and outspoken supporter of segregation.  "Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen," he told African-Americans.

The Last Thing the Left Wants is Racial Healing.  While the media was all abuzz over Obama using the "n" word, I was outraged over him accusing my country of being a nation filled with racists.  Folks, our president actually said racism is in our DNA and is passed on from generation to generation.  Dude, you're a black man whom white folks — because blacks are only 12% of the population — made leader of the free world two times.  Stop it with the "blacks are victims" nonsense.  Millennial blacks have never or rarely experience bona-fide racism.  So why are Obama and his fellow Leftists hell-bent on instilling racial paranoia and resentment against whites in millennial blacks?  The answer is simple:  this is how Democrats keep their monopoly of the black vote.  Instill in blacks that America is eternally racist and voting for Democrats is the only way to keep the haters which are the majority at bay.

When Erasing Symbols of Slavery, Don't Forget the Democratic Party.  [Scroll down]  Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren (anti-abolitionist), James K. Polk (slavery compromiser), and Stephen A. Douglas (slavery fence-sitter) founded the current Democratic Party.  The abolitionists wandered in the wilderness for a while, mixing with Whigs, and finally coalescing into the Republican Party in 1854, with abolition as its singular purpose.  During the first half of the 1800's, slavery was a contentious and persistent issue.  Many slave owners and Democrats viewed slavery as a necessary evil, and abolition as unnecessary contention.  Thomas Jefferson advocated for mass emancipation and deportation, for he viewed the black race as too childish, and based on the 1791 Haiti rebellion, unable to handle the anger engendered by their enslavement.  Another common view held that the black race was simply unable to care for itself, and thus slaves were better off under the care of their masters, and that slavery only needed greater compassion, a view still held by the Democratic Party to this day.  Why do you think Democrats promote government assistance programs for African Americans?

Why Are We Not Removing All Things Related To Robert "KKK" Byrd?  Should we remove George Washington and Thomas Jefferson from Mount Rushmore?  How about all statues, streets, monuments, and references to the two?  Despite being opposed to slavery, they had been slave owners at one time.  Better yet, why are we not calling for the removal of all things named after Robert "KKK" Byrd (Democrat), as well as any and all statues?  The man was an actual high ranking member of the KKK. [...] Byrd made many racist pronouncements.  He was a virulent racist.  Let's remove all references to him.

90% of the Racism in America Comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  Ninety percent of the racism in America today comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  They live off it and exploit it.  It is unconscionable to the degree they do this, ruining the lives and futures of the very people they say they are helping in the process.  I am uniquely positioned to say this because I spent most of my life on the Left and was a civil rights worker in the South in my early twenties.  I was also, to my everlasting regret, a donor to the Black Panther Party in the seventies.  So I have seen this personally from both sides and my conclusion is inescapable.  The Left is far, far worse.  They are obsessed with race in a manner that does not allow them to see straight.  Further, they project racism onto others continually, exacerbating situations, which in most instances weren't even there in the first place.  From Al Sharpton to Hillary Clinton, they all do it.  Barack Obama is one of the worst offenders in this regard.

The Media's Despicable, Racist Attack on Bobby Jindal.  The defining moment of the blatantly racist attacks against Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will always be the MSNBC segment where guest Arsalan Iftikhar claimed Jindal's criticism of radical Islam was him "trying to scrub some of the brown off of his skin."  Those comments were so bad MSNBC was forced to apologize and promise never to have Iftikhar on again.  Before that of course, there was Vox.com's Matt Yglesias questioning whether people thought Jindal was smart because of his race.

Black Chamber of Commerce: EPA Clean Air Plan Will Increase Black Poverty 23%, Strip 7,000,000 Black Jobs.  A study commissioned by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents 2.1 million black-owned businesses in the United States, found that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan would increase black poverty by 23 percent and cause the loss of 7 million jobs for black Americans by 2035.  The study also found that the EPA' plan would increase Hispanic poverty by 26 percent and cause the loss of 12 million jobs for Hispanic Americans by 2035.

Fairness in Cleansing.  To begin, I want to know when the countless bridges, schools, highways and buildings named for Robert Byrd will be changed to that of someone who was NOT an Exalted Cyclops of the KKK?  When will portraits of him be removed from all Federal and State buildings?  When will his statue in West Virginia's Capitol Rotunda be pulled down? [...] While we're at it, let's make certain Harry Reid's legacy faces a similar fate for his comments that candidate Obama could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "... with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

Hillary arrives by private jet for Ferguson-area speech on race relations and Charleston 'terrorism'.  Hillary Clinton arrived in a private jet on Tuesday [6/23/2015] to talk race relations at a church whose rooftops can see Ferguson, Missouri.  And she left some in St. Louis's urban black community feeling cold, coming to town for a campaign speech nearly a year after the riot-inducing shooting death of Michael Brown.

Dylann Roof, Southern Democrat Throwback.  It turns out the suspect, Dylann Roof, is an ideological amalgam of old-line Southern segregationist Democrat KKK white supremacy combined with 21st century emo-progressive-anarchist sensibilities.  Top that off with a horrendous androgynous emo bowl cut and a drug arrest, and you've got a poster child for new age leftist counter-culture abomination.  The guy is a product of the Democrat Party and contemporary moody emo-oriented pop-cultural leftism.

Hillary Clinton fights post-Obama apathy in bid to energize South Carolina blacks.  She has mastered the art of affecting a folksy twang when speaking to Southern crowds and her husband once boasted that he was the first black president, but Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton has a long way to go to win over black voters crucial to victory in South Carolina's early primary.  Mrs. Clinton, who on Wednesday will make her second visit to the Palmetto State, moved early and forcefully to shore up support of black voters, but that Democratic bloc has yet to coalesce behind her.  That includes young blacks who say they have lost faith in politics after their experience with President Obama.

Black Chicago Pastor: 'Democrats Have Taken Advantage of Our Community'.  Corey Brooks, pastor of New Beginnings Church on the infamous south side of Chicago, wants Republican presidential candidates to speak to his congregation, because being black doesn't mean you have to be a member of the Democrat Party — which he says has failed to help his community.

Hillary Sweeps Left in Houston, Sells Early Voting as Civil Rights Issue.  Hillary Clinton ran one of the most boring, tired football plays in Houston this week — Wishbone Sweep Left.  We've seen it over and over again:  tell Democrats that Republicans are out to bring back Jim Crow, energize a moribund, racially motivated base by scaring them into thinking the Voting Rights Act has vanished, and claim that not having a month-long election day means blacks are being targeted for vote "suppression."  The play is tired, familiar, and goes nowhere.

Hillary goes ugly early with racism claims.  Down in Texas for a campaign event aimed at restoring her relationship with black Democrats who rejected her 2008 candidacy, Clinton said that laws requiring voters to show identification at polls were part of "a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of color, poor people and young people from one end of our country to the other."  Note the language here.  It's not a misguided effort with an unfortunate result, it is a deliberate effort to prevent minorities from voting.  That's not just racist, that's evil.

Black Chicago Pastor: Dems 'Failing' Us.  It is difficult to imagine a less likely GOP presidential campaign stop than O Block.  After all, it's the most dangerous stretch of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Chicago and one of the toughest territories in the city.  But if Republicans stand a chance of chipping away at Democrats' dominance over the black vote in this city and elsewhere, it might be something to consider.

Hillary Clinton Cannot Afford to Lose Black Voters.  Barack Obama didn't need to do much — almost anything — to win record turnout from African-American voters.  Hillary Clinton will need to pull out all the stops to score just a fraction of that support.  An exaggeration?  Black political leaders don't think so.

The War against Black Children.  There is a statistic out there that almost half the adults in Detroit are functionally illiterate.  They can't fill out job applications.  They can't read the instructions on a pill bottle.  So when we talk about a war against black children, let's not think first about guns.  Think about the weapon that is doing the most damage.  That would be our public schools.  You cannot have functionality illiterate children at the high school level unless the school system systematically evades teaching those children to read at the elementary school level.  That's exactly what is happening in cities across America.

What is wrong with Democrats?  Why do Democrats embrace Al Sharpton, an anti-white anti-Semite, liar, con man hustler who extorts millions from corporations and who is a habitual tax cheat?  He has received a lot of attention lately, not because of his carnivalesque talk show on MSNBC that few watch, but because Barack Obama has appointed and anointed him as his point man on race.  The riots in Ferguson and Baltimore and the tragic death of Eric Garner are fuel for Al Sharpton (he may not need much food in the wake of his bariatric surgery but he needs riots and mayhem — and when they aren't there, he creates them).  But he has been welcomed by Democrats for many years.

Univision keeping the lid on Democrats' coalition of victims.  One key to the future viability of the Democratic Party is suppressing the serious conflicts of interest between its black and Hispanic constituents.  The influx of 12 to 16 million mostly low-skilled labor force entrants across the southern border has driven down wages and employment opportunities for blacks.  The single most effective means to raising incomes for those who sell low-skill labor would be to close the border and repatriate those who violated our laws in coming here.  But Democrats need the votes of both blacks and Hispanics to sustain their coalition of purported victims, those needing to appropriate the income earned by others through welfare and redistribution programs in order to enjoy what they consider an acceptable lifestyle.  So any consciousness among blacks that the influx of Hispanics is costing them opportunities must be suppressed.

The Big Tent Party Collapses.  While the Democratic Party has moved toward leftist purity in which Hillary Clinton's policy positions are virtually indistinguishable from socialist Bernie Sanders', the Republican Party has become to political positions what COEXIST bumper stickers are to religion — an embrace of all and, thereby, a perversion of all.  The media enjoy suggesting that the Republican Party has never been more right-wing, but the opposite is true:  the Republican Party has never been more heterogeneous, and the Democratic Party has never been more radically homogenous.

Can you guess when it's okay for whites to use the n-word?  [Scroll down]  You see, liberals like Doctor Seuss.  And if liberals like someone, any kind of behavior is acceptable.  If a politician was a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, it's okay...if he was a liberal.  See Robert Byrd.  If another politician says Obama can be successful because he's a light-skinned black and doesn't speak with a "negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," that's okay... if it's a liberal like Harry Reid.  If someone says that Obama is the first Black candidate who is "bright and clean-cut," that is okay... as long as he's a liberal like Joe Biden.

Black Columnist Brands Dr. Ben Carson as 'a Court Jester, a Minstrel Show'.  Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Cynthia Tucker criticized Dr. Ben Carson for his conservative political and religious views, referring to the retired pediatric neurosurgeon and 2016 presidential candidate as "the GOP's latest black mascot, a court jester, a minstrel show."  Carson, who was raised in a poor, single-parent household in inner-city Detroit, became the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland at age 33.  He made medical history when he became the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins attached at the head. [...] Claiming to speak for the black community, Tucker said that Carson's non-politically correct views on homosexuality, evolution and religion threaten to eclipse his many accomplishments, and that because of his conservative views he "stands to lose his place as one of the nation's most admired men."

The Halperin-Cruz teaching moment.  There is more to this story than a simple case of media gotcha.  It's one thing to ask a candidate what newspapers she reads, or whether he can identify the president of Mexico.  It's quite another to set out to show that the candidate isn't who he says he is because he doesn't meet your subjective standard for determining who's who and what's what.  Actually, as should be obvious to anyone who has watched the clip, this was no interview.  It was an interrogation.  Journalists conduct interviews to obtain information.  That's not what Halperin did here.  He was on the attack, quizzing Cruz about his Cuban-ness to make the 2016 Republican presidential hopeful look like a phony.

Halperin Interview Of Ted Cruz Shows Left's Plantation Attitude Toward Latinos.  In a classic gotcha interview with a GOP candidate, Bloomberg big shot Mark Halperin sought to discredit Ted Cruz as a "real" Latino with patronizing questions.  It goes to show the proprietary sense that the left has toward minorities.

Time for the Welfare State to Stand Trial.  As of 1950, "only 9% of black families with children were headed by a single parent."  Between 1940 and 1960, "the black poverty rate had been cut in half." [...] By 2012, the black illegitimacy rate was at 73%, starkly high in contrast to other demographic segments.  And the moral decay that came with this trend is not obscure.  "According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, 60% of rapists, 72% of adolescent murderers, and 70% of long-term prison inmates are men who grew up in fatherless homes."  In light of these facts, these statistics may be less surprising:  In 2010, blacks (approximately 13% of the population) accounted for 48.7% of all arrests for homicide, 31.8% of all arrests for forcible rape, 33.5% for aggravated assault, and 55% of arrests for robbery.  It was by design that the social structure provided by government supplanted the social structure of the family.

Po-Po and the Missing Papas.  The rage of Baltimore's ghetto boys against cops is not due to an epidemic of police killing black men.  That's a big lie of the left wing.  It is mainly caused by brainwashing black youth to hate the only effective discipline they have had in their lives.  Subjecting ghetto youth to any discipline is a threat to the idea that they cannot be responsible citizens.  Law enforcement in the ghetto is a threat to the creed of victimization, which wealthy, privileged black leaders use to subjugate and control people.

Liberals' petri dish laid bare in Baltimore.  All the mayhem unfolding in Baltimore is nothing short of an unspeakable American tragedy.  Laid bare are the failures of cradle-to-grave social policies held so dear by politicians in both parties, but embraced and celebrated most lustily by Democrats.  These self-proclaimed Robin Hoods and do-gooders have issued open and unashamed invitations to the most vulnerable in society to become completely dependent upon government for everything from food to cellphones to home heating oil.  Left in the wake is the utter annihilation of families and the destruction of cohesive neighborhoods.  Complete dependency comes at such a high and bitter cost.  All in return for what really amounts to a sad pittance of welfare payments.  It is a twisted mockery of the American dream.

Blacks, Hispanics reject Obama climate change agenda over concerns about poor.  The very same voters who helped put Barack Obama in the White House increasingly are turning against the president's climate change agenda, with influential black and Hispanic leaders warning that stiff regulations to limit carbon emissions will have a devastating effect on the poor and will further stifle economic opportunity for minorities.  Some of Mr. Obama's most ardent supporters say they simply cannot go along with the administration's increasingly ambitious program to combat global warming.  They argue that, contrary to the Environmental Protection Agency's claims, the carbon regulations will drive up utility bills for poor households and will stunt economic growth in low-income areas.

Carbon dioxide is not carbon, for the same reason that water is not hydrogen.  If you're writing an article about the climate, and the subject is carbon dioxide, don't call it carbon

Blacks Lose Ground Under Obama.  This economy has left blacks with little to show for their loyalty to Obama and the Democrats.

Record High 12,202,000 Black Americans Not In Labor Force.  Anyone doubt for a second a white Republican president would under constant attack by the Dems for their "racist" economic policies against black Americans?

Mr. Noah and the Flood.  So-called liberals habitually tolerate black anti-Semitism.  Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson remains a revered figure in the Democratic party; Al "Bloodsuckers" Sharpton was inflicted upon the general viewing public, or at least a couple of hundred members of it, by MSNBC; progressives are happy to stand with vile anti-Semites such as Louis Farrakhan, and Democratic organizations are happy to host them.  So-called liberals tolerate black anti-Semitism because they believe in their hearts that blacks are their wards and that they cannot be expected to know any better.  If unfunny anti-Semitism of the Nation of Islam variety is to be indulged, what's an unkind joke or three?

Imagine the current state of black Americans under a Republican administration.  Imagine if the president were a Republican, and if during the second half of his second term, after having been elected both times with record turnout by blacks, the black unemployment rate remained stagnant at 11 percent while the black poverty rate hit a record high of 27 percent.  What would black politicians be saying about that Republican president?

150 Years Later, Democrats Are Still Fighting Efforts to End Slavery.  The Democratic Party is the Party of Slavery.  They are the party that decided to secede from the Union.  They are the party that started a Civil War over the right to treat people as property.  They are the party that, once their side lost the war, set up structures to keep American citizens from exercising their civil rights.  And now, 150 years after the Civil War, the Democratic Party is at it again.

The Left's Destruction of Inner-City Communities.  Progressives and Democrats control every major city of any size and every major inner city of any size in America, as you've heard me say before.  Everything's that's wrong with the inner cities of America, that policy can affect progressives, leftists, Democrats are responsible for.  They have monopoly control in all these cities:  Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis.  There's not a Republican in sight.  Progressive welfare policies destroyed the black family beginning in the 1960s.  Seventy-five percent of African American children were born to two parents at that time.  Now, 80 percent in the inner cities are born out of wedlock.  The absence of a father and authority figure in the home, often complicated when the mother works as well as raising her children, has produced a series of pathologies which we summarize as the underclass, which were predicted by Daniel Moynihan in 1965, of violence, drug abuse, and criminality.

The Democrats' War on Women and Blacks.  Barack Obama, the first black president, comes into office and black unemployment actually increases while, for the first time in years, relations between the races in our country are reported in a recent poll to be worse by both blacks and whites.  Something's wrong with that picture too.  Did Americans suddenly become more racist or is it something else — that something being the policies of the Democratic Party, encouraging division and then living off those same divisions like a parasitic animal?

A Marxist View of the Democrats' Entitlement Economy.  Karl Marx, considered the founding figure in the rise of communism, divided all persons into two classes:  the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. [...] Democrats create highly segregated communities whose boundaries are defined by racism so that they could represent minority neighborhoods in elections.  All racially segregated communities are under Democrat control and its residents suffer very high rates of poverty, single motherhood, crime, high dropout rates, high unemployment, zero economic growth, misery, and death.  And the solutions Democrats always put forth to correct these social ills are always more community programs and entitlements.  These programs only serve to expand their political control of the entitlementariat through dependency.  The benefit the Democrat bourgoisie gets is political power.  The racial segregation found in big cities is proof that the Democrat bourgeoisie creates and maintains the entitlementariat.  Recently illegal immigration has been used to create an Hispanic entitlementariat.

Why Do Democrats Hate Asian-Americans? Because They're Smart and Successful.  This piece appeared in the Los Angeles Times recently, and it deserves a lot more notice from conservatives than it's received so far.  It's not that it doesn't tell us things we didn't already know — it's that the Left is so blatant about its prejudices, and so determined to tear down any semblance of meritocracy regarding college admissions.  And, mostly, it reminds us that Asian-Americans need to recognize who their enemies are.

Sounds like someone is perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
Obama to Amnesty Beneficiaries: 'There's Going to Be a President Rodriguez Someday'.  Republicans should stop fighting amnesty, President Obama said on Thursday [2/26/2015], because one day a Hispanic will become president.  "Over the long term, this is going to get solved, because at some point there's going to be a President Rodriguez or there's going to be a President Chen," Obama told a Florida International University town hall audience, hosted by Telemundo and MSNBC.

Here's How Obama will be Remembered During Black History Month.  Unemployment among blacks rose 42 percent in Obama's first five years as president — worse than unemployment for whites and Hispanics and far worse than the 20 percent decrease in unemployment among black adults during Ronald Reagan's presidency.  Other statistics tell a similar story:  inflation-adjusted gross income is down for African-Americans, while slightly up for whites and Hispanics, and many African-American children remain trapped in failing schools and violent neighborhoods.

Manufacturing Outrage.  The most disgraceful use of this strategy has been the deliberate stoking of black rage against whites.  Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown became martyrs not perpetrators.  Al Sharpton was anointed healer-in-chief and Obama's point man on race (the arsonist becomes the fire department chief — such are the perversions Barack Obama has inflicted on America).  Barack Obama has fanned the flames by comments such as "racism is deeply rooted in American society" and his Attorney General Eric Holder has race-baited throughout his tenure, routinely claiming civil rights violations at the height of the strife triggered by the deaths of Martin and Brown — and routinely being frustrated by the facts.  Joe Biden told a black audience that "Republicans are "going to put y'all back in chains." [...] And so it has been throughout Obama's presidency.  He has never missed an opportunity to manufacture outrage.

Liberals Exploit Race & Gender.  The growth and impoverishment of the black underclass in cities governed for decades by Democrats is our greatest domestic tragedy.  Blaming it on mostly mythical white racism obscures the real causes, prevents solutions.  But if liberals acknowledged the progress that's been made, more blacks might wonder why all the "help" they've gotten from Democrats has done them so little good.  So they pretend every year is 1963.

Selma and LBJ.  Why exactly did Dr. King have to spend his life marching for civil rights?  Why in fact did Selma — the march, not the movie — have to happen in the first place?  The Selma march took place in 1965, after the Civil Rights bill of 1964 has been passed with the help of Republicans and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson.  What the Selma marchers were about was voting rights.  The basic, all-American right to vote.  Of course, they already had the right to vote. [...] Not a single Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the [15th] amendment.  Only eight Democrats in the Senate signed on.

Ronan Farrow's Awkwardly Condescending Exchange with Black Teen.  As we've written here many times before, Ronan Farrow's MSNBC show is something to behold: An awkward mess of obvious inexperience, nepotism, self-congratulatory sanctimony, and preening condescension. Today's [1/20/2015] edition of the program showcased the lattermost element.

15 Statistics That Destroy Liberal Narratives.  [#13] The more progressive the city, the worse a place it is to be poor and/or black.  The most pronounced economic inequality in the United States is not in some Republican redoubt in Texas but in San Francisco, an extraordinarily expensive city in which half of all black households make do with less than $25,000 a year.  Blacks in San Francisco are arrested on drug felonies at ten times their share of the general population.  At 6 percent of the population, they represent 40 percent of those arrested for homicides.  Whether you believe that that is the result of a racially biased criminal-justice system or the result of higher crime incidence related to socioeconomic conditions within black communities (or some combination of those factors) what is undeniable is that results for black Americans are far worse in our most progressive, Democrat-dominated cities than they are elsewhere.  The progressives have had the run of things for a generation in these cities, and the results are precisely what you see.

Liberals' Use of Black People.  Johns Hopkins University sociologist Andrew Cherlin told us: "It has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes. ... (The problem) is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income."  The liberal vision is that fathers and husbands can be replaced by a welfare check.  Liberals desperately need blacks.  If the Democratic Party lost just 30 percent of the black vote, it would mean the end of the liberal agenda.

Black Conservative Son Educates Dad on Dems' Race Lies.  When presidential candidate Obama told Joe the Plumber that he planned to spread the wealth around, I knew he was nothing more than another socialist/progressive liberal who hated America as founded.  My 86-year-old black dad, on the other hand, is a lifelong Democrat.  He believed that Dems are for the little guy and that voting Republican is like voting for the KKK.  Despite being a God-fearing Christian preacher and pastor for over 50 years, Dad rejected evidence of Obama's anti-Christian leanings and voted for him solely because he is black.

Night Thoughts.  Now and then, I think back to why I rejected the Left, many years ago — when I was in college.  One of the reasons was, they always kept the racial pot boiling.  They would never let the pot cool off.  It seemed to me they did not want racial harmony.  They preferred strife, regarding it as more "authentic" or something.  Harmony was for Toms.

Do Black Lives Really Matter to Liberals?  Surprisingly, the same liberals who say they are concerned about the tiny percentage of blacks killed by police not only don't care about the mass elimination of blacks in the womb, but they in fact work constantly to protect those who slaughter blacks.  Eighty percent of abortion facilities are in minority neighborhoods, and blacks are three times as likely to kill their unborn child as whites are.  If black lives mattered to liberals, they'd be up in arms over this racist effort by organizations like Planned Parenthood.  Instead, the same folks who are ignoring the facts of the Ferguson case and imputing nonexistent racism to the Garner case tend to be strong and proud supporters of Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations that target blacks.

Making Whitey Suffer.  From a complaint against two white police officers in the death of black men, these latest protests have morphed into a general and bitter repudiation of law enforcement, in general, and even of the capitalistic system in America, fueled by an irrational hatred for all businesses and industries, whether they employ a few people or millions.  It is doubtful that most protestors speak entirely from personal experience.  Their outrage echoes the far left litany and its deadly chokehold on American academia.  Even as demonstrations are applauded and encouraged, the aim of the left extends well (or ill) beyond empathy for a person's right to protest wrongs.  The ultimate goal is to destroy America as they see it and to substitute their "progressive" dream of utopia.

What evil lurks? The liberals know.  On a good day, about 80 percent of the content generated by left-leaning websites will be spent explaining why Republican positions on x, y and z are really expressions of their fear and loathing of non-white Americans, and how modern conservatives descend from John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, the 1948 presidential campaign of Strom Thurmond and the Ku Klux Klan in its entirety in one straight and unbroken line.  MSNBC frets over the threat of the "dog whistle," by which one uses a commonplace phrase to send a sinister message to one's fellow bigots.  Only their network's anchors are apparently able to hear them.

Two Americas.  Why did it take until 100 years after the Civil War, until 1964, to pass a Civil Rights Act?  Because the Democratic Party would not take its boot off the neck of the black man until Martin Luther King made the black vote a political force.  Dedicated to being in power above all else, the Democrats had to make a U-turn on their race policy in the 1960s and join the Republicans in passing the Civil Rights Act because they realized that after the black vote was counted, they were not going to win any more national elections without it.  But there was a problem.  How was the Democratic Party going to overcome its deplorable record on race?  It was the party of slavery, segregation, lynching, and the Klan.

The True History of the Democratic Racist Party.  If only blacks knew of the true history of the Democratic Party.  "Black History Month" has been observed for 29 years, yet many blacks know little to nothing about the parties' respective roles in advancing or hindering the civil rights of blacks.  How many blacks know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks — 13 of them ex-slaves — were elected to Congress, all as Republicans?  The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois.  The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.  Democrats, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act.  This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories.  Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party — not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it. [...] In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states.

Call Ferguson Demonstrations What They Are: 'Obama Riots'.  The truth is that these riots are about so much more than Brown.  They are about the monstrous discontent over every aspect of life for so many people finally boiling over.  Mr. Obama ran and won two presidential campaigns on promises that he would heal these very people.  It was either stupidity or dishonesty to make such reckless promises to such vulnerable people just to win a couple of political elections.  The rioting lays bare the complete failure that is this presidency.  In the end, the only thing this president has accomplished is proving that the American people, for all their flaws, would elect a black president.  And then re-elect him despite a very disappointing first four years.

Obama's Amnesty and the Democrats' War on Black Americans.  Obama's proclamation of amnesty to illegal aliens is just the latest step in a long-running war conducted by Democrats against American citizens of African descent.  But, there are early signs that the African-American community is waking up to the decades-long, false claim by Democrats, heralded since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as being the political party most concerned with the condition of Blacks.  Obama's dictatorial edict granting functional amnesty to millions of Hispanic illegal immigrants is not being well-received by some African-Americans who feel betrayed by the first Black President.

Obama's condescending stereotype of Mexicans.  It is unbelievable that the president of the United States would say something this elitist regarding the nation's largest minority group — and perhaps just as worse that it's gone virtually unreported. [...] Not all Mexicans do the type of work that Obama described, especially the ones who have been in the country for several generations and have gone to college.  This is just more of the same, sadly, to be expected from this arrogant president who jaunts around the world on luxury vacations, and whose favorite past time is golf, not charity and actually helping those less fortunate.

Juan Williams: 'Insulting to Black People' That White House Elevates Sharpton.  Fox's Eric Bolling went after Al Sharpton today for his tax issues that have somehow not stopped his White House invitations.  Juan Williams agreed and went so far as to say it's "insulting to black people" for the White House to be elevating Sharpton like that.  Williams suspected that the Obama White House just doesn't like Jesse Jackson and since Sharpton is the only big alternative, the White House just "anointed him as their official black leader," which people find insulting.

Giving Up On Black America.  [A]s shocked and depressed as I was over his election in 2008, it was Barack Obama's re-election in 2012 that helped to confirm my worst suspicions about black America.  In spite of lingering double-digit black unemployment, increasing black homelessness, food pantries with block long lines, inner-city schools that were still failing to meet even nominal standards of proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and headline news levels of racial strife, blacks still gave Barack Obama 93% of their vote.  This non sequitur helped me to face some important facts.

Dear Black People: The Democrats Are About To Break Up With You.  For decades, the black vote in the United States almost uniformly has gone to Democrats.  How's that working out?  Black unemployment is twice the national average, poverty rates are higher than before Democrats offered "help," and the education system fails a disproportionate number of black children.  That's what 50-plus years of blind voting loyalty to Democrats has earned.  And, thanks to those same Democrats and the nation's first black president, it's about to get a lot worse.  President Obama is set to legalize upwards of 5 million illegal aliens, with the dream of granting amnesty and citizenship to 6 million to 25 million more, based on estimates and chain migration.  These aren't Ph.D.s with seed capital ready to start tech companies; they're low- and no-skilled workers with limited English skills ready to take any job available, especially entry-level jobs.

Is This the End Game for Liberal Racism?  Every day in every way corporations are converting your tired and your poor into middle-class workers glad to serve the stranger, make the customer king, act friendly with everyone.  No wonder lefties hate corporations; they are teaching people how to break out of liberal tribalism and join the global middle class.

Explosive Charges: Black Democrat Alleges Racism in Lawsuit against Ohio Democratic Party.  An African American lawmaker — a Democrat — is charging the Ohio Democratic Party and chairman Chris Redfern with racism and defamation in a lawsuit filed this week, telling reporters there is a "plantation mentality" in the party that treats black lawmakers as a monolithic voting bloc.

Time for the GOP to stand up to the radical left's false racism claims.  One of the quickest arms in the radical liberal arsenal is to accuse Republicans of being racist.  It is just one more of their tactics to scare the people and offer themselves as saviors.  If the leftists couldn't scream "racism" they'd have little to say.  It's core their constituent building via victimhood strategy.  Screaming "racist" is a tactic designed to shut down debate and liberals need that since they can't win on the merits.  This is also why liberals save their most vicious attacks for minority members who dare to stray to the right.  Liberals know that if a small but critical mass were to venture off the house of cards they run would fold.

Liberal Racism: Hispanics Are Next.  Roughly ninety-five percent of racism in America today now either emanates from liberals or is generated by them.  The Democratic Party relies on racism because, without the perception of serious ongoing racism in our culture, the identity politics on which the party depends would disintegrate.  As presently constituted, they wouldn't win another national or statewide election.  This makes the Democratic Party by necessity a virtual racism-manufacturing machine.  The Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons are not anomalies.  They are the motor that drives the car.  Barack Obama could in no way be a post-racial president as promised, even if he wanted to be (doubtful).  He wouldn't have had a party anymore.  Do I exaggerate?  Actually it's worse.

Liberals Desperate To Keep Blacks On Their Plantation.  Democrats are beginning their racist attacks against Dr. Ben Carson.  The conservative neurosurgeon, who is black, recently changed his party affiliation from "Independent" to "Republican" and is about to air a 40-minute video in 22 states to introduce him to the American People.  The odds are pretty good he's going to run for President.  Of course, liberals are well aware of Carson — and they're terrified of him.  That's why he's repeatedly called an "Uncle Tom" or worse by liberals who can't stand that a black person — again — has ventured off the plantation and is able to think for [himself].

Employment Situation Improves in October — Except for African Americans.  The employment situation in October improved in every way for most Americans, except for African Americans, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  The number of African Americans who were employed in the United States in October dropped by 41,000; and the number of African-Americans not participating in the labor force increased by 114,000.

How did it all go so wrong with Wendy Davis?  [Scroll down]  Too many strategists fall into the trap of treating demographic groups of people as if they were monolithic entries in pigeonholes which can be placed on a war room map and shoved back and forth.  Yes, the demographics of Texas are shifting (along with much of the country) and the voting base is becoming decidedly more Hispanic.  But despite repeated evidence that the Hispanic population frequently leans toward social conservative views, the Democrat Monday morning quarterbacks still seem to base their analysis on the assumption that nobody could ever possibly vote for a Republican except for elderly white people.

Clyburn Dismisses Tim Scott: Just Because He's Black, That Doesn't Mean Progress.  On Tuesday evening [11/4/2014], interim Republican Sen. Tim Scott won South Carolina's special election to fill the remaining two years of retired Sen. Jim DeMint's term.  Despite that electoral victory making Scott the first black senator elected by South Carolina, fellow South Carolinian James Clyburn is not impressed.

Jay Carney to GOP: Your Party is Racist — and 'You Know It'.  Former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, now a political commentator for CNN, casually admitted that, yes, his party uses race to convince minorities that Republicans seek to oppress them.  Before the midterm election, Carney said:  "Republicans are going to pick up seats in the Senate and the House, and they may win control of the Senate.  So (Democrats) need to mobilize their base voters, and that is especially true of minority voters."

Typhoid Barry.  Blacks account for a quarter of the vote for Democrats nationally, and without their utter continued solidarity, the party is in deep trouble.  But blacks continue to identify with President Obama, no matter how badly he screws things up.  It is awfully tricky for Democrats to distance themselves from him, or even turn on him, without risking black turnout in 2016 elections.

Well-financed Democrat Lies Won't Confuse Blacks This Time.  The way for a Party to get support is to deliver success.  When there is no record of success, lies, distortion, and fear become the operative tools, in hope that uninformed voters will buy the garbage.

Michelle To Black Voters: Just Vote Democrat, Then Celebrate With Fried Chicken.  First lady Michelle Obama has a message to black voters:  Don't worry about what candidates have done or said — just vote for the Democrats.

Michelle Obama grants black people permission to eat fried chicken if they vote today.  Speaking to Roland Martin on a black-oriented radio program, News One for Black America, Michelle Obama engaged in racial stereotyping that would get a white politician excommunicated from decent society, while joking about her belief in her own status as food czar.

Celebrating Six Years of Broken Promises.  Always insecure about his authenticity, Obama has, from the beginning, tried to reassure his base that he was a real African-American and not just someone who played one on TV.  This anxiety has led to a series of distortions, none more outsized than his claim as a candidate in 2007 that the events at Selma, Alabama, in 1965 stirred his parents to ignore the obvious obstacles to their multicultural romance and give birth to baby Barack.  "They got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born," said Obama to a largely black audience.  "So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama.  Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama."  He didn't, and he wasn't.  In reality, Obama's father had long since abandoned the family by the time of the famous march.  While protestors were confronting angry white state troopers in Alabama, the three-year-old Obama was collecting seashells with his white grandfather in Waikiki.

Race and Reaction.  [Scroll down]  And here we are now, with the nation led by a president who went to a Black Liberation Theology church in Chicago, and a first lady whose thesis was on Black Power, and an attorney general who whines about his treatment as the most powerful law-enforcement figure in the nation, and we find ourselves fully under attack because of the color of our skin.  The left has racialized every single thing that occurs in the country, and in each instance, it is non-liberal whites who are evil and blacks or Hispanics who are victims.

FLOTUS: No Matter Who's on the Ballot, Our Community Should Always Vote for Dem Ticket.  Monday on TV One, a cable channel who's programming is geared for African-American adults, first lady Michelle Obama told Roland Martin the candidate on the ballot and what they say or do should not matter to African-Americans because voting for a straight Democratic ticket best serves their communities.

Is This the Beginning of the End for Blacks and Dems?  Black voter enthusiasm has been at an all-time high during the era of the first black president, but will this enthusiasm last in the post Obama era?

Desperate Dems Are Turning to Racial Attacks.  This year is shaping up to be a great one for conservatives.  Real Clear Politics projects that Republicans are on track to pick up seven Senate seats, and there's a real possibility that come January 2015, they'll hold a 54 or 55-seat majority.  This has left Democrats utterly panicked as they scramble to motivate their base at a time when President Obama's approval rating has stalled at 39 percent.  They have turned to an old hat — race-baiting — in hopes of scaring African-American voters to the polls.

Whites say Obama's America is 'divided,' blacks feel robbed.  Over six in 10 whites believe that America is more divided now than it was just four years ago when the Tea Party rose up and helped the GOP take control of the House, and blacks feel Washington is robbing them.  A startling new poll from Rasmussen Reports finds that 65 percent of white voters believe the country is divided, and a sizable number of non-black minorities agree.  Even more — 44 percent — Democrats agree than not, 41 percent.

If It Damages America, It's Good for Democrats.  In almost every area of American life, the better things are, the worse it is for the Democratic Party. [...] Blacks who are not angry at America, especially white America, are more likely than those who harbor such anger to vote Republican.  On the other hand, the more a black American considers America a racist society, the more he or she is a guaranteed Democratic voter.  Therefore, it is in the Democratic Party's interest to ensure that as many blacks as possible regard America negatively.

Alarmed By Planned Immigration 'Surge', Civil Rights Advocate Tells Obama Amnesty Harms Black Workers.  A top civil rights advocate is warning President Obama that extending executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens will deeply harm black workers.  Peter Kirsanow, as U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner, says in an Oct. 27 letter to Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' recently revealed preparations for a huge ID "surge" upped his alarm over what the president has planned.  "Granting work authorization to millions of illegal immigrants will devastate the black community, which is already struggling in the wake of the recession that began in 2007 and the subsequent years of malaise," he explained.

Democratic Party: America's Resident Evil.  A New York Times article exposed that the Democrats are expecting to have their clocks cleaned in the election in a week or so.  Democrats believe that their only hope is to get out the black vote.  How do they plan to achieve this?  Of course, with their tried and true tactic of race-baiting.  In other words, the Democrats and their MSM operatives have launched an all-hands-on-deck deplorable effort to convince black Americans that white Americans are out to suppress and even murder them.  Democrats pray that hordes of enraged blacks will forget about how they have suffered under Obama and flock to the polls to vote for Democrats. [...] All that these Democrat politicians and their MSM sycophantic minions care about is infecting blacks with a victim mindset, which keeps blacks dependent on government, which keeps Democrats fat and happy with power.

Black pastor endorses Republican for governor — guess what happens next.  Corey Brooks is the pastor of New Beginnings church on the south side of Chicago.  Pastor Brooks, who is black, endorsed Bruce Rauner for governor of Illinois, going so far as to appear in television ads with the candidate.  Normally I wouldn't find it necessary to describe the skin color of anyone I write about.  However, in this case, it's central.  Because ever since Pastor Brooks endorsed a Republican for office, he and his church have experienced threats and attacks.  More specifically, the pastor and his family have received hundreds of death threats.  Most recently, his church was vandalized.

Demagogue Al Sharpton: The Democratic Party's New 'Civil Rights' Leader.  The Democratic Party no longer fights for actual civil rights for African Americans.  It has become beholden to race hustlers and demagogues, those who inflame passions based on memories of the real racism that existed decades ago but which is no longer relevant to the present-day American experience.

There's No Place Like Utopia.  [Scroll down]  Along the way [Joel] Gilbert bumps into notables like Jesse Jackson, Michelle Obama's mother, and most interestingly, Peggy Joseph, the Florida woman who scored brief internet fame for announcing after the 2008 election that she would no longer have to work because Obama was going to pay her mortgage and her gas.  Much to Joseph's disappointment, Obama not only didn't follow through, but her mortgage and gas prices are even higher.  She educated herself politically since 2008, and does not support him today.  Neither do some of Gilbert's other interviewees, poor blacks in communities increasingly devastated over the decades by progressive policies.

Blacks On Barack: 'Worst President Ever, He Chose Illegals Over Americans'.  These Chicago residents put Obama on blast for choosing to pour millions of dollars into helping illegal aliens instead of the communities with high levels of violence and crime in the United States.

Black disappointment with Obama threatens Democrats.  Black voters' disappointment with President Barack Obama, who they so eagerly embraced for so many years, could be costly on Election Day to Democrats, who badly need a big African-American turnout to win Senate and gubernatorial races in key states.  Instead, many African-Americans see an unemployment rate well above the national average, continuing problems with crime in many neighborhoods, and a president more interested in trying to help other voting blocs that didn't give him such unwavering support.

Political TV Ad Claims Obama Is Bad for African Americans.  A new television ad airing in Louisiana makes the case that the nation's first black president has been bad for the black community.  The ad comes from a group called "Progressives for Immigration Reform" and uses images of Hurricane Katrina devastation and blacks standing in unemployment lines to argue that "our own president" wants to allow in millions of illegal immigrant workers to "take jobs when many of us still can't find jobs."

The Democrats Go Back to Their Racist Roots.  The Democratic Party is trying to use the shooting of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri to stimulate black turnout.  There is zero reason to believe that the Brown incident had anything to do with race.  Is there any evidence that Wilson, if attacked by a 6' 4", 292 pound white man, would not have shot him?  No.  Wilson may or may not have overreacted; we may never know for sure.  But connecting the incident to race is sheer political opportunism by the Democrats.

Jeff Sessions: Obama's Immigration Policies Hammer Black Workers.  Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told Breitbart News that black workers across America should be wary of supporting Democrats because of President Obama and other Democrats' support for immigration policies that displace them economically.  "A nation owes its first obligation to its own citizens," Sessions said in an emailed statement.  "But our current immigration policy advantages the citizens of other countries over our own.  Undeniably, one of the groups most hurt economically by unjust immigration policies are African-American citizens."

Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID?  Leftist opponents of voter ID truly think minorities are less able to function in American life.  I learned this when a Department of Justice Voting Section lawyer opposed to voter ID told me he thought blacks were more likely to forget their photo identification than whites were.  Their lives "were more disorganized," he said.  This is a lawyer currently still working in the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department.  This is a perfect example of the "soft bigotry of low expectations."

Districts drawn to elect minorities may cost Democrats control of House.  Black residents of this small southeast Florida town like their congressman.  Rep. Alcee Hastings looks like them.  He understands them.  "If the person has the same race as you, I think they care about you more.  They understand where you come from," said Michael Foreman, a personal trainer.  Hastings, a black Democrat, represents a surgically drawn district where a majority of the population is black, one of dozens of majority-minority districts around the country.  For three decades, lawmakers have increasingly crafted similar districts so that historically underrepresented populations will have adequate representation.

The Racism of Open Borders.  Over the years since the mid-1960s, when the white left discovered how easy it was to convince black supremacists (e.g., the Black Panthers) that they should not integrate, but self-segregate into Black Student Unions, Black Business Leaders Associations, the Black Community, etc., black people have been cynically manipulated into believing and embracing all sorts of negative, disastrously damaging things about themselves.  First and worst is the idea that they cannot possibly succeed in life, due to the racism of white people, without the massive intervention and help of [...] WHITE liberal Democrats!  They managed to convince the vast majority of black people that all whites hate them and spend a large part of their time scheming and coming up with ways to keep black people down.  The frightening thing is that just a cursory look around America makes this idea about as ludicrous a notion as you could possibly come up with.  Yet black people have bought into it, big time.  They have also let the White Left convince them that welfare is not only acceptable, but that they are somehow entitled to it to make up for the way white people have kept them from succeeding.

Amazing ad tells Louisiana blacks that Mary Landrieu has failed them.  Senator Elbert Guillory of the Louisiana State Senate is known as a maverick, a black Republican in a state where the Democratic Party is sustained by solid support by the African-American population.  But that doesn't stop him from tyelling the hard truths he believes African-Americans must face.

Black Genocide And The Black Leaders Who Support It.  This weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is proudly hosting an event with Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill. BET Networks is sponsoring the issue forum on "reproductive freedom".  The nation's largest abortion chain, never missing an opportunity to target the black community, is addressing how the Hobby Lobby decision will impact — you got it — black women.  The Hobby Lobby decision does nothing to reduce anyone's access to birth control.  The Supreme Court decision ruled that a closely held corporation cannot be forced to pay for an employee's abortifacients, including Plan B, Ella, and hormonal and copper IUDs.  The lawsuit never opposed the other 16 forms of contraception, and the ruling doesn't touch those.  But this weekend's conference isn't about birth control, but spin control with a racial twist.

Should Joe Biden Step Down?  Vice President Biden is being urged by liberal activists to "brush up his Shakespeare."  His friends are trying desperately to clean up the latest mess that Joe Biden has caused.  He recently told a group at a Legal Services Corporation event that his son, Beau Biden, had worked to protect our soldiers from "Shylocks" — whom he described as unscrupulous lenders.  This is only one of the oldest anti-Semitic slurs in our language.

Rush Limbaugh's Call Screener: 'What Liberalism Has Done To Black Communities Is Horrific'.  Most Rush listeners know James as either "Snerdley," the call screener, or the "Official Obama Criticizer."  Golden was in Washington recently for a CURE meeting and that's where we got the chance to sit down with him for this exclusive 30 minute video interview.  For the first half of the interview, Golden waxed passionately about race in America, and how America's first black president has only harmed race relations in this country.

Yes, I Blame White Liberals.  At every turn, liberals send the message that blacks are lesser Americans.  Liberals say it is hateful for conservatives/Republicans to expect blacks to speak English correctly, show an ID to vote, refrain from murdering each other, and stop dropping out of school.  White liberals say asking blacks to refrain from having babies out of wedlock is culturally insensitive and imposes morality on them.  Libs ignore the truth that fatherless households contribute to gang membership, black-on-black violence, and poverty.  Do you see the pattern?  White liberals insinuate that urban blacks are poor uncouth savages.

The Sad Irony of John Lewis Playing the Race Card.  It was one of [Governor George] Wallace's state troopers who shot to death Jimmie Lee Jackson, a civil rights demonstrator, in Marion, Alabama.  A few days later, on what is now known to history as "Bloody Sunday" — March 7, 1965 — civil rights protesters led by a young activist named John Lewis sought to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on a 55-mile walk to the state capital of Montgomery.  They didn't get far.  Governor Wallace had his state troopers waiting for them, and along with local law enforcement the troopers charged the demonstrators, beating the living hell out of them, John Lewis included.  The incident spurred the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act — itself a re-do of the Republican-passed Fifteenth Amendment that was ratified in 1870, 95 years earlier and repeatedly ignored by elected Democrats.

At Risk in Senate, Democrats Seek to Rally Blacks.  In black churches and on black talk radio, African-American civic leaders have begun invoking the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, along with conservative calls to impeach Mr. Obama, as they urge black voters to channel their anger by voting Democratic in the midterm elections, in which minority turnout is typically lower.

Democratic Party Has Roots in Violence, Racism and Bigotry.  When I read this morning that a high school in the South was going to drop its racist, confederate name, I immediately thought of Democrats Strom Thurmond or Robert Byrd, who were Klan members and staunch segregationists.  But no ... the school is Nathan B. Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Forrest was a Confederate General and a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.  I decided to research a little bit into General Forrest and it turns out he was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention.  In fact, the KKK was founded by Democrats to terrorize blacks and white Republicans.

Let's play 'What if a Republican Said It' with Harry Reid's racially insensitive jokes.  Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) found himself in some hot water on Friday [8/22/2014].  According to Time Magazine's Zeke Miller, the Senate Majority Leader "drew laughter from an Asian audience Thursday with a pair of Asian-themed jokes."

The Real Villain of Ferguson.  The Great Society, which I voted for and supported from the bottom of my heart, is the villain behind Ferguson.  Ferguson is the Great Society writ large because the Great Society convinced, and then reassured, black people that they were victims, taught them that being a victim and playing a victim was the way to go always and forever.  And then it repeated the point ad infinitum from its debut in 1964 until now — a conveniently easy to compute fifty years — as it all became a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The Great Society and similar policies screwed black people to the wall.  It was racist to the core without knowing it.

Democrats Pay Black Staffers 30% Less.  If you're a person of color hoping to get hired by a political campaign, here's the ugly truth:  You'll probably get paid less than your white counterparts, if you're even hired at all.  On both sides of the aisle, there is a racial pay gap in campaign politics.  Asian, Black and Latino staffers are paid less than their white counterparts, according to an analysis by the New Organizing Institute.

Former NFL Pro Explains Why He's a Republican: Democrats Are Destroying Black Communities.  Garry Cobb played football for USC and then for 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles.  He is now running for New Jersey's 1st District seat as a Republican, and his explanation of why he is no longer a Democrat is very compelling.

Charge: Obama plan to legalize millions of immigrants 'disastrous' to blacks.  President Obama's much-rumored executive order granting legal status to potentially millions of illegal immigrants will be "disastrous" to African-American job seekers and a slap in the fact to others proceeding through the tedious legal immigration process, charges a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

NBC News, Politico Bury Nunn Campaign's Asian Slur.  You would think that a major U.S. Senate campaign caught referring to an ethnic group as financially "very tight" would thrill a media that loves nothing more than political scandal mixed with race.  Well, not when it's a Democrat campaign.  When that's the case, the media circle the wagons to pretend it didn't happen, or in this case, reassure everyone there's nothing to see here, because this is just how campaigns are run.

20 Examples of What Liberalism REALLY Is.  [#5] Liberalism is people who say that asking for voter ID is racist while claiming that black Americans are too uniquely stupid and lazy to get an ID.

Is the race card all that's left in the administration's deck?  Blacks rightly feel jilted after pledging so much loyalty and emotion to a man they thought was one of their own.  They are painfully learning that President Obama is like the fast-talking peddler of magical elixirs who promises a cure-all, then skips town before you find out you've been bamboozled.  The protesters feel used and now the president and the Democrats seem to have jilted them in favor of the Hispanic vote.  That's what the unbridled illegal immigration debate is all about.

The Secret War On Black Republicans.  According to former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, who is African-American, the media do not seem particularly interested in covering perceived racial slights when the victim is a black conservative.  "In my race for the U.S. Senate, I was painted in blackface with big red lips and called an Uncle Tom," Steele told the Beast.  "I had Oreo cookies thrown at me during the Lieutenant Governor debate in 2002.  "And there seems to be this attitude they can get away with it and in a large number of ways they do.  Because the press does not go after such attitudes the way they would if, for example, a conservative were seen holding a poster of Barack Obama in a disparaging caricature."

A Primer on Race.  Back in the heyday of the British Empire, a man from one of the colonies addressed a London audience.  "Please do not do any more good in my country," he said.  "We have suffered too much already from all the good that you have done."  That is essentially the message of an outstanding new book by Jason Riley about blacks in America.  Its title is "Please Stop Helping Us."  Its theme is that many policies designed to help blacks are in fact harmful, sometimes devastatingly so.  These counterproductive policies range from minimum wage laws to "affirmative action" quotas.

Why liberals should stop trying to 'help' black Americans.  The civil-rights struggles of the mid-20th century were liberalism at its best. The efforts culminated in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed racial discrimination in employment and education and ensured the ability of blacks to register and vote.  But what about the social policy and thinking that arose from the ruins of Jim Crow?  Good intentions aside, which efforts have facilitated black advancement, and which efforts have impeded it?  Many liberals today don't seem particularly interested in asking this question, even though 50 years into the war on poverty the picture isn't pretty.

Did Obama Fail Black America?  For many African-Americans, he has been a hero — but also a disappointment.  On critical matters of racial justice, he has posited no agenda, unveiled no vision, set forth no overarching mission to be accomplished.

Democrat Says Of Hispanic Republican: 'We Need To Send Her Back To Wherever She Really Came From'.  Is Alan Webber intending to win any votes from Hispanics?  He's a Democrat vying for the party's gubernatorial nomination in New Mexico, and his recent comments about incumbent Republican Governor Susana Martinez aren't likely to make him many friends.  Video obtained by The Weekly Standard shows Webber at a candidate forum where he made the questionable remarks.

Reparations and the Great Unmentionable.  Call it American history à la carte.  Over at the Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates, the magazine's national correspondent, has written a long and instructive piece titled "The Case for Reparations."  In which Coates supports Congressman John Conyers's H.R. 40, the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.  Let me start here by saying I don't doubt Mr. Coates's sincerity.  And since one of his objectives is doubtless to launch a serious discussion on the issue of race and specifically the issue of reparations, I'm happy to oblige.  This is a long and serious article.  Yet for all of the facts and passion, Coates never gets around to the Great Unmentionable. [...] What is the pattern here — a very telling pattern?  Everything was perpetrated by some vague "Mississippi" or, when named, a collection of people with titles like "governor" (Vardaman) or "senator" (Bilbo and Calhoun) or "Red Shirts" or "Klansmen" or just plain "Woodrow Wilson."  The Great Unmentionable in the Coates article is... the Democratic Party.  Progressives.  Democratic political fortunes were built on racial politics.

Jim Crow alive and well in Eric Holder's Justice Department.  Jim Crow is now making a huge comeback, thanks to the identity politics so common among liberals, especially on college campuses.  As PJ Media columnist and former U.S. Department of Justice civil rights attorney J. Christian Adams notes, a federal court recently struck down a law in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands that allowed only people of "Northern Mariana descent" to vote on constitutional referendums. In Guam, the new Jim Crow appears in a law that allows voter registration only by those with ancestors living there prior to 1950, thus effectively limiting the ballot to individuals descended from the Chamorro people.

Obama Looks to Bypass Congress and Promote Racial Spoils in Hawaii.  When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we also pledge allegiance to the Republic for which it stands — "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."  The modern American left has put each of these qualities up for grabs.  For example, implementing "social justice" would make it logically impossible to provide justice for all of us as individuals.  The left is also unfavorably disposed to the idea of one indivisible nation.  The Akaka Bill was a good example.  As Gail Heriot and Peter Kirsanow explained, this legislation, which the House passed in 2010, would have enabled the nation's approximately 400,000 ethnic Hawaiians to organize themselves into one vast Indian tribe. [...] Existing Indian tribes have a degree of sovereignty.  But this was an attempt to establish and empower a tribe where none existed, and to do so along racial lines.  Naturally, as Heriot and Kirsanow explained, the attempt was really about funneling billions of dollars to ethnic Hawaiians, a Democratic constituency.

White people be playing the race card.  The Republicans-hate-blacks narrative remains crucial to maintaining the monolithic 95 percent Democratic black vote, without which the Democratic Party cannot succeed.  Economist Thomas Sowell writes, "If Republicans can get just a fourth or a fifth of the black vote nationwide, that can shift the balance of power decisively in their favor."  As recently as 1956, nearly 39 percent of blacks voted Republican in the presidential election.

What White Democrats Really Think About Black Americans.  On any given day of the week, one can turn on the liberal media and hear how the Democratic Party is the one party that cares for black Americans. [...] Just a few weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi told Americans that Republicans were trying to take food out the mouths of black Americans by cutting food stamps.  She then stated that 50% of food stamp recipients are black Americans.  And let us not forget that the Democrats are fighting hard against the supposedly racist voter ID laws on behalf of the poor blacks who are either unable or too stupid to get an ID card in 2014.  When Newt Gingrich called President Obama "the food stamp President" during a presidential debate in 2012, both Chris Matthews and Lawrence O'Donnell immediately thought of black people and accused him of racism.  As a black American, it is infuriating for me to listen to white Democrats' claims of helping blacks when all they are doing is making sure that blacks remain dependent upon Government handouts.  That stance reveals what they really think about black Americans.

Condoleezza Rice too privileged to be role model for blacks: Fox's Bob Beckel.  Fox News' Bob Beckel suggested Monday [5/19/2014] that Condoleezza Rice, the first female and first black secretary of state, is not a good icon for young black people because she didn't grow up in the "ghetto." [...] Mr. Beckel said there's a "lot of truth" to Mr. Holder's notion that racism is still alive and well in America.

Democratic Congressman Condemns Chicago Sun Times Article.  A leading African American member of Congress from Illinois condemned the Chicago Sun-Times for running an "over the top" column last month that compared black Republican voters to Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.  Democratic Rep. Danny Davis told the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday [5/20/2014] that the piece by Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg was surprising, "inaccurate," and "over the top."  Steinberg's piece sparked a row in the Jewish and black communities last month after Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's reelection campaign tweeted — and then quietly deleted — several messages praising the article and encouraging followers to read it.

Bloomberg Writer: Black Republicans Are a 'Lower' Group.  Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson recently wrote a piece claiming that Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina — an African American — only became a senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment.  He also claimed that Scott's candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind.  In an article that is more invective than analysis, Wilkinson essentially called Senator Scott a do-nothing senator.

Democratic Congressman Makes Shocking Racial Comments About Republicans, Clarence Thomas, Mitch McConnell.  A Mississippi Democratic Congressman says Clarence Thomas is an "Uncle Tom," Mitch McConnell is a "racist," and that Republicans are only anti-big government and anti-Obamacare because President Obama is black.  Rep. Bennie Thompson made the comments over the weekend while appearing on a New Nation of Islam radio program.

NJ Democrat Caught on Tape, Fears Her Town May Become [...].  Conveniently the Star-Ledger leaves out the part about her being a Democrat.

The Radical Left Rewrites the History of Civil Rights.  The general thrust of left-wing pundit Richard Cohen's syndicated column of April 17, 2014 is an attack on Rand Paul's (and other prospective GOP presidential candidates') lack of experience. [...] Bad as Cohen's attack on Paul (and others) is, his sly effort to rewrite the history of the Republican Party's (and by implication, the Democrat Party's) role in the struggle for blacks' civil rights is even worse.  Unhappily, however, Cohen's historical revisionism typifies the American left's all-too-successful efforts to change Americans' memories of the roles of the two major political parties on behalf of blacks' civil rights.

Some Lessons from Cliven Bundy.  I am not a lawyer, and am not going to pretend to be one.  Neither do I give any credence to the claims about Bundy's "racist" comments that were engineered by the New York Times' Adam Nagourney, a left-wing gay man following the "progressive" playbook of demonizing those against whom you can't argue.  I would only note that Bundy didn't actually make any "racist" comments.  Instead, what he DID do was point out how terribly, terribly destructive that Democrats and the rest of the "progressive" movement have been for black Americans over the past few decades.  If there's anything racist going on, it involves trapping African-Americans in a grinding cycle of poverty and despair, while psychologically bullying them into continuing to support the very people — the Democrats — who trapped them in the first place.

Obama program aims to reduce 'births' among blacks, Latinos.  President Barack Obama is attempting to lower the rate of "births" — and separately, pregnancies — among blacks and Latinos.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists reducing "births" as one of the top goals of Obama's "Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative."  The language on the CDC's website makes clear that the program seeks to reduce the rate of both pregnancies and "births" among minorities.

Erasing the race card.  The race cards have been flying so fast and furious lately, one can hardly tell the kings from the queens.  Leading the weird lately has been Democratic Alabama state Rep. Alvin Holmes, who called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina "Uncle Toms."  Holmes, who also has said that it's fine by him if men want to marry mules and, while we're exorcising demons, that white people are only pro-life until their daughter gets pregnant by a black man.

Black Lives, Democrat Lies.  A fascinating article by Francis Wilkinson appeared in Bloomberg View last week (h/t Instapundit).  Wilkinson detailed the fact that income inequality between whites and blacks is worse in leftist cities: [...] Now to someone like me — a former liberal who became a conservative, in part, because I saw the devastation wrought on poor black neighborhoods by leftist policies — this is no surprise, not even all that interesting.  What I did find riveting though were the desperate attempts by presumably left-leaning social scientists to explain the discrepancy away.

Progressive Insurance.  No one asks Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step down from the Supreme Court; but in a quite frightening remark, she quipped that she was surprised about the uproar over abortion:  "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."  Frankly, that seemed a savage thing to say, especially given the inordinate percentages of abortions among minorities and the poor.

Blacks must reject purveyors of dependency, victimhood.  During the dark days of slavery in America, there were many geographic areas where the number of slaves significantly surpassed the number of whites and slave owners.  This occasioned appropriate anxiety for the owners, who cleverly sowed seeds of discord among the different groups of slaves in an attempt to effectively destroy unity.  For example, field slaves were told that the house slaves thought of themselves as superior. [...] In today's culture, there are political forces that see the descendents of slaves as useful objects for maintaining their positions of wealth and power.  By promising to care for their every need, they create dependency.

The states with the most segregated public schools are epicenters of liberalism.  The state with the most segregated public schools is New York.  Other states with exceptionally segregated schools include California, Illinois and Michigan.  These findings come from a longitudinal study of enrollment figures conducted by the Civil Rights Project at the University of California at Los Angeles, The Associated Press reports.  The period studied was 1998 through 2010.

Report: NY Schools Are Most Racially Segregated.  New York state has the most segregated public schools in the nation, with many black and Latino students attending schools with virtually no white classmates, according to a report released Wednesday [3/26/2014].

Few African Americans Enrolling in Covered California.  African Americans make up about 7 percent of California's population but just 3 percent of Covered CA enrollees.  But the situation is actually worse than that because African Americans make up 17 percent of the state's uninsured population, the very people Obamacare was supposed to attract.

The Democratic Party's War on Black People and How to Counter It.  As one of the relatively few people (percentage wise) to have spent more than a decade on both sides of our political divide, and also to have participated personally in the civil rights movement in the South in the sixties, I am going to say something that will be extremely controversial to liberals, indeed make them hate me.  Given all those years I spent on the two sides, I have observed liberals to be vastly more racist than conservatives and libertarians.  It isn't even close.  During the time I was on the left, I heard many racially disparaging comments by my associates either offered in confidence or as off-hand remarks.

Unruly Progressives.  Sure, once in a while, a prominent liberal will run afoul of his brethren.  MSNBC dropped its relationship with Alec Baldwin shortly after suspending him in the wake of video footage of the actor allegedly shouting homophobic slurs to a paparazzo.  Around the same time, Martin Bashir resigned after he declared, on air, that someone should defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth.  But Democrats are given a wide, wide berth for comments they themselves would be quick to label racist.  South Carolina Democratic chairman Dick Harpootlian, for example, urged his party to "send Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from."  (That would be Bamberg, S.C., but her parents were Sikh immigrants from India.)

How 'My Brother's Keeper' Stands to Destroy Already Bad Schools.  Though the Obama presidency has years to go, he has already initiated his legacy project.  It's called My Brother's Keeper and attempts to help "at risk" young men of color — those prone to crime, mayhem, drug addiction, and fathering illegitimate children. [...] That's the good news.  The bad news is that Obama's putative cure is a modern-day Progressive nightmare.  It will fail while further generating government make-work jobs, and most importantly, it will hurt the education of millions of minority children.  This awaiting nightmare is hardly hidden, and tellingly, everything starts with more government jobs.

When Blacks Voted 80 Percent Dem, Malcolm X Called Them 'Chumps'.  When blacks gave 80 percent of their vote to the Democratic Party in 1964, black activist Malcolm X called them "political chumps."  White voters, X said, "are so evenly divided that every time they vote, the race is so close they have to go back and count the votes all over again.  Which means that any bloc, any minority that has a bloc that sticks together is in a strategic position.  Either way you go, that's who gets it."  Yet Democrats, said Malcolm X, failed to deliver on a promised and much anticipated new civil rights bill, knowing the party could still count on their blind support in the next election.

Poll: Just 11% of blacks say life under Obama is better for young African-Americans.  President Obama is going to have to do a whole lot more than promise to make things better for young blacks under his new "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, because 71 percent of voters in a new poll say life for the group is the same or worse than before he came into office.

The Left versus minorities and charter schools.  If anyone wanted to pick a time and place where the political Left's avowed concern for minorities was definitively exposed as a fraud, it would be now — and the place would be New York City, where far-Left Mayor Bill de Blasio has launched an attack on charter schools, cutting their funding, among other things.  These schools have given thousands of low-income minority children their only shot at a decent education, which often means their only shot at a decent life.  Last year, 82 percent of the students at a charter school called Success Academy passed city-wide mathematics exams, compared to 30 percent of the students in the city as a whole.

Florida Democrat: we need immigration reform to get hotel maids and lawn guys.  It's a [very] good thing for Alex Sink, the Democrat running against David Jolly in a tight Florida special election for Congress, that she isn't a Republican.  If she had an (R) after her name, there would be nothing left of her after remarking that immigration reform is vitally necessary to keep hotels full of maids, and lawns well-tended: [...]

Biden: 'I May Be a White Boy, But I Can Jump'.  During a celebration of African-American History Month, Vice President Joe Biden said, "I may be a white boy, but I can jump."  The comments were made at Biden's home, the Naval Observatory.

Black Pastors: Impeach Holder.  A coalition of black pastors announced on Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that they are launching a campaign to gather one million signatures on a petition calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Eric Holder for violating his oath of office by trying "to coerce states to fall in line with the same-sex 'marriage' agenda."  "President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have turned their backs on the values the American people hold dear, values particularly cherished in the black community:  values like marriage, which should be strengthened and promoted, rather than weakened and undermined," says a statement by the Coalition of African American Pastors that has been posted online with their impeachment petition.

White House pushes for black enrollees.  The Obama administration is engaged in a "final coordinated push" to enroll blacks in ObamaCare, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Friday [2/21/2014].  Jarrett said blacks have a "disproportionately low rate of coverage," and called enrolling them the administration's "top priority."

NYC: More Black Babies Killed by Abortion Than Born.  In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.  The report is entitled, Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes, and was prepared by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics.

Black America: Stop The Insanity!  Why do you continue sleeping with the enemy, voting for liberal Democrats whose policies imply that you are inferior, stupid, and culturally immoral?  When the NAACP and Democrats claim that requiring a photo ID disenfranchises blacks, such implies we are stupid.  For the life of me, I do not understand why millions of blacks are not highly insulted by this absurd claim.  Do blacks fly?  Do blacks drive cars?  Do blacks cash checks?  When Democrats and liberals accept over 70% out-of-wedlock births and fatherless households as a cultural norm in the black community, I am offended.  And yet, I am called a sellout.

Spot the Black Dummies.  All forty-one voting members of the CBC have dutifully cast their ballots with the Democrats over 90% of the time during their tenures in Congress with most having done so more than 94% of the time.  The aforementioned John Conyers, in his 47 years in the U.S. House has voted in lockstep with the Democratic Party nearly 94% of the time.  Charles Rangel has used his vote to break ranks with the Democrats a paltry 4.5% of the time in over four decades.  Yet no one from the NCAAP or other far-left organizations ever raises the notion that these individuals are just dummies doing the work of their masters, even though the data would certainly point toward that conclusion.

List of 100 Black Conservative Blogs and Websites. 

Seven Minimum Wage Facts That Have Democrats Worried.  [#5]  Minorities and the poor are hit hardest by the minimum wage.  Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman famously noted that "the most anti-black law on the books of this land is the minimum wage law."  Higher wages mean employers seek higher, more skilled workers.  That, said Friedman, puts those with disproportionately less education and experience at a significant disadvantage when looking to put their foot on the first rung of the employment ladder.

Romney grandchild [is the] latest victim of racist media.  Now there has been a lot of this "knockout" game going around where thugs sneak up on unsuspecting victims and cold-cock them to the pavement.  The goal is for innocents to drop like sacks of potatoes, without even a defensive flinch.  It has been done to young people, mothers, students, elderly men and even elderly women.  But never before has such an attack been caught on video where it was performed so ruthlessly against a defenseless infant.  Since you, like most Americans, do not watch MSNBC and have never heard of any of these thuggish characters, I will describe what they did.

Barack Obama's Presidency Is A Complete Failure By His Own, Self-Imposed Standards.  In November, black unemployment was still 12.5%, after 5 years under President Obama.  The Hispanic, or Latino, unemployment rate was still 8.7%.  The teenage unemployment rate, reflecting Obama Democrat experiments with the minimum wage, was 20.8%.  The black teenage unemployment rate was 35.8%. [...] More than 3 times as many jobs were created for African-American women in Reagan's first term, compared to Obama's first term, even though the population was much larger in Obama's first term.  Jobs for African American women rose by 15.1% in Reagan's first term, compared to 2.6% in Obama's first term.

MSNBC's Attack On Romney Child Exposes Left's Racism.  In the season when charity for our fellows should be in our hearts, MSNBC mocks Mitt Romney's family Christmas photo for prominently featuring his black grandson.  The real bigots are on the left.

A deep sickness on race on MSNBC and CNN.  It used to be unacceptable for national news shows to broadcast race hatred as commentary.  No longer.  So extreme is the loathing of white Republicans that black commentators on two cable news channels have uttered patently ridiculous and shameful comments on a Romney family photo that shows the former presidential candidate with his black adoptive grandson on his knee.

The Great Race Hoax.  When Barack Obama rose to national prominence following his 2004 keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, his African-American heritage was a footnote to the fawning reception he received from the media and from most Americans. [...] Fast forward to today.  President Obama's race is no longer a footnote.  It is central to his presidency.  It is arguably his defining characteristic.  Unity and bipartisanship are nowhere to be found.  Who is responsible for this?  The blame rests squarely with the American Left, and specifically, with the racialists.

New report shows poor minorities in the South are disproportionately shut out of insurance options under Obamacare.  Nearly 5 million poor, uninsured adults will have no subsidized coverage options under the Affordable Care Act next year.  Three-quarters of them live in the South and more than half are minorities, according a new report by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.

Minorities disproportionately represented in health care 'coverage gap'.  New data from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that minorities will make up 53 percent of the estimated 4.8 million low-income Americans who will fall into the "coverage gap," leaving them without viable options to obtain health insurance next year.  In the 25 states that won't expand eligibility for the Medicaid program, many adults earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to qualify for tax credits that would help them purchase marketplace insurance.  That puts them into the bureaucratic no-man's land known as the "coverage gap."

On the Road to Itascas.  Martin Luther King Jr. said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." [...] Was Reverend King referring to the infinite hope for more food stamps, Medicaid, and Obamaphones?  That is all socialist entitlement offers.

Blacks and Obama.  There is every indication to suggest that Obama's presidency will be seen as a failure similar to that of Jimmy Carter's.  That's bad news for the nation but especially bad news for black Americans.  No white presidential candidate had to live down the disgraced presidency of Carter, but I'm all too fearful that a future black presidential candidate will find himself carrying the heavy baggage of a failed black president.

Blacks and Obama.  There is every indication to suggest that Obama's presidency will be seen as a failure similar to that of Jimmy Carter's.  That's bad news for the nation but especially bad news for black Americans.  No white presidential candidate had to live down the disgraced presidency of Carter, but I'm all too fearful that a future black presidential candidate will find himself carrying the heavy baggage of a failed black president.  That's not a problem for white liberals who voted for Obama — they received their one-time guilt-relieving dose from voting for a black man to be president — but it is a problem for future generations of black Americans.

The War on Conservative Minorities.  Members of both political parties use sharp elbows to rough up and discredit the opposition, but the media are supposed to call "foul" on the worst abuses.  But when the media are ideologically opposed to conservatives — especially minority conservatives — the abuses sometimes get lost in the shuffle.

Obamacare and the Death of Liberalism.  [Scroll down]  These "smart" people can't even run a website.  The eternal liberal dependence on class warfare and racism?  Yes indeed, the party of slavery, segregation, lynching, the Ku Klux Klan, racial quotas and illegal immigration never blinked at the shameful firing of an Obamacare operator — a black single mom — for the "crime" of answering Sean Hannity's questions honestly.  And doing so while keeping on a rich white woman named Kathleen Sebelius whose management of Obamacare has been as incompetent as it is dishonest.

The truth about civil rights and the Democrat Party.  After appearing on MSNBC this week where he compared the Tea Party movement to the Ku Klux Klan, Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Florida) stirred controversy when his KKK-themed fundraising email surfaced featuring a burning cross, men in white sheets, and the words Tea Party spelled out in flaming letters.  If anyone would know what the Ku Klux Klan stands for, it would be Grayson and his Democrat Party.

Alan Grayson Flaunts His Ignorance.  The Ku Klux Klan was the vicious thug wing of the Democratic Party.  You know, that political party which endorsed the KKK, refused to recognize the 14th Amendment?  The political party that encouraged the KKK to attack and kill Republicans and blacks.  That encouraged the KKK to burn down Republican offices, attack Republican homes, lynch blacks and in all ways try and destroy the Reconstruction of the South. [...] No less an authority than historian David Barton says in his book 'Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White' that not only did the Democrats work hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for generations, they started the KKK and endorsed its mayhem.

Did MSNBC'S Chris Hayes Use 'KKK' Image For Cruz, Paul, Rubio?  Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC's All In, has a favorite tactic — though not an original one:  connecting today's Republicans with the racist Democrats of the old South.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Accused of Using Racial Stereotypes.  Several groups have accused the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission of using racial stereotypes as the foundation for a lawsuit charging an education company with discriminating against minorities in its hiring process, according to a legal brief in the case.  The EEOC alleges in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Kaplan Higher Education Corp., et. al., that Kaplan's screening of applicants' credit histories has a "disparate impact" on minorities.

Boxer Calls Ex KKK Member Byrd One of the Great 'Senators and Historians'.  Byrd famously joined the KKK at the age of 24 and proceeded to rise to the lofty rank of Exalted Cyclops, leading his local chapter.  The former West Virginia senator also refused to join the military during World War II out of fear he may have to serve with African Americans, or as the great senate historian put it:  "race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

Tavis Smiley: 'Black People Will Have Lost Ground in Every Single Economic Indicator' Under Obama.  PBS's Tavis Smiley made a comment Thursday [10/10/2013] that every African-American as well as liberal media member should sit up and take notice.  Appearing on Fox News's Hannity, Smiley said, "The data is going to indicate sadly that when the Obama administration is over, black people will have lost ground in every single leading economic indicator category".

What Democrats Really Care About.  Black unemployment is twice that of whites.  Yet not only do liberals refuse to try to improve the black inner-city schools so that blacks have a fighting chance of using their talents to support themselves, but they actually work to ensure that public education stays bad.  Obama ended a school choice program that disproportionately helped blacks in D.C., and Obama's administration is suing Louisiana to end a school voucher program that is primarily helping poor blacks.  Any competition would result in the public schools having to improve, but if they do, then there will be fewer dependent people, and that is bad for Obama.  Obama proves he cares more about power than about the poor when he works to ensure that the public schools in poor areas remain horrible.

Jobless Rate for Black Teens: 38.2%.  The unemployment rate for African American teenagers aged 16 to 19 was 38.2 percent in August, according to the latest figures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  This figure is nearly twice the 20.5 percent unemployment rate for white teens of the same age, and down less than a percentage point from the 38.8 percent black teen unemployment rate BLS reported in August 2012.  The jobless rate for black teenagers hovered in the 40 percent range all summer, prime earning time for students trying to save for college.  It peaked in June at 43.6 percent, compared to 20.4 percent for white teenagers.

13.0%: Unemployment Climbs in African American Community; 210,000 Fewer Jobs.  The unemployment rate in the African American community climbed from 12.6 percent in July to 13.0 percent in August, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  At the same time, the number of African Americans 16 year [sic] or older who held jobs dropped from 16,318,000 in July to 16,108,000 in August — a decline of 210,000.

President's policies are hurting Hispanics.  Hispanic unemployment is getting worse — spiking up to 9.4 percent — and more are descending deeper into poverty every day.  Hopelessness is spreading and people are giving up — as the labor force participation rate has fallen from 66 percent in 2008 to 63.4 percent today.  The number of Americans receiving foods stamps has surged to 47.6 million — a 13 percent annual increase during the same time, and now we read Obamacare is turning many full-time jobs into thousands of part-time jobs.

Obama's War on Black Education.  And now through his Justice Department, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are again seeking to restrict poorer, inner-city black families to under-performing inner-city schools. [...] Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) called the action "shameful" and said President Obama and A.G. Holder "are trying to keep kids trapped in failing public schools against the wishes of their parents."

The Dream is No More.  [Scroll down]  Today, African-Americans are the most manipulated and abused segment of the American population.  Black children are deliberately ill-educated, as the unions and politicians are more concerned with their own welfare than that of the children.  The Democratic Party Establishment, content in the knowledge that Black America has been conditioned to vote for their candidates in overwhelming numbers regardless of circumstances, views the vast majority of blacks with condescension and disdain.

Douthat Can't Say It, But I Can.  You liberals were the guys that said never again would the U.S. countenance racist thugs like Lester Maddox and George Wallace.  Today, in 2013, it is liberals that not merely condone but actually encourage the racist Reverends who go out every morning to remind African Americans that Jim Crow is just around the corner.

The Hood Comes to Duncan, Oklahoma.  The nation's hoods and increasingly, barrios are modern-day reservations, where independence, initiative, self-worth, and self-respect have been stripped from residents.  Where family, community, and church have been debased in favor of the government handout machine... and minority leaders who pimp their own people for gain. [...] Gangs are replacements for families; they lend identity, security, and worth.

Obama's Economy — We've Fallen And Can't Get Up.  Household incomes are still down 4.4% since the recession ended four years ago.  Meanwhile, the unemployment picture may be even worse than we think. [...] The picture gets even grimmer the deeper you dive into the data.  The most vulnerable groups — blacks, Hispanics, female-headed families and the young — have fared far worse under Obama than everyone else.  Black households' median income has plunged 11% since the "recovery" started.  Hispanic households are off 4.5%.  For single moms, median household income dropped 7.5%.  For those households with three or more children, it fell even more — 9.2%.

The International Gay War on Black People.  Crystal Dixon was an African-American administrator in Toledo who authored a rebuttal against someone who'd accused the University of Toledo of economic discrimination against homosexual couples.  Dixon said, "I take great umbrage at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle are 'civil rights victims.'  Here's why.  I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a Black woman."  She went on to clarify the illegitimacy of the economic comparison.

Progressives and Blacks.  Progressives treat blacks as victims in need of kid glove treatment and special favors, such as racial quotas and preferences.  This approach has been tried in education for decades and has revealed itself a failure.  I say it's time we explore other approaches.

Hillary's race card.  Madam Secretary hasn't missed a beat.  She knows that the calling card of Democrats in the Barack Obama era is a polarizing politics that seeks to fire up minority voters by stirring fears of fire hoses and police dogs.  Its basic vocabulary is imputations of racism; its evidentiary standard is low and dishonest; and its ethic is whatever works — so long as its stirs fear, anger, and resentment.  Get ready for Hope and Change 2.0.  The latest target is the state of North Carolina, which is accused of soiling itself with a new voter ID law, among other changes in its election laws.

End the Civil Rights Movement.  It's a relic of the 1960s about as relevant as bell bottom trousers.  When we are debating Oprah Winfrey's right to buy a thirty-five thousand dollar purse or whether Barack Obama's dog should be flown to Martha's Vineyard in the canine's own private state-of-the art military transport, you know it's finished.  Or should be.  It's also time for the NAACP and the Black Caucus to close up shop.  They are dinosaurs from another era, making life miserable for the very people they are intended to help.

Hey Cowards, Let's Have a Conversation.  With no doubt of their superior subtlety of mind, the most rabidly pro-abortion people are now heating up their keyboards with swellers about the value of precious black life.  On July 30, Nancy Pelosi is hosting a "Conversation on Race" in which shame-and-blame phraseologists will get a chance to fascinate each other at taxpayer expense.  No one else is listening anymore.  The epidemic of black-on-black murder, child-killings, flash mobs, and horrors like the killing of baby Santiago, combined with travesties like the racist dereliction of Holder, are imploding the liberal rhetorical frame.

And the Oscar Goes to... Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin!  Through their nakedly deceptive public speaking tours, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, parents of Trayvon Martin, are all but ensuring that a high percentage of American black males will continue to end up in the cradle-to-prison pipeline.  By glorifying their son's lifestyle, they push young wayward blacks away from the truth and into further trouble.

In Detroit, racial rhetoric concealed corruption.  Living in the Detroit metro area most of the last decade, I have experienced many of the events leading to its bankruptcy.  Take, for example, the 2008 State of the City address by then-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.  With Detroit facing a perilous fiscal future and him facing ethics complaints, Kirkpatrick highlighted race.  He sparked controversy by using the "n-word" while referencing an insult he received from some random person.  Kirkpatrick vowed to stand strong against this attack, and asked citizens to stand by him against a "lynch mob mentality."  He essentially used that slur to leverage racial tension, inciting and dividing the mostly-black city against mostly-white suburbs.

The Criminal Profiling of Conservative White Males.  [Scroll down]  Once-upon-a-time, leftists displayed no lugubrious solicitude for blacks and other non-whites.  During the 1930s, for example, FDR — a patron saint for American Left-wingers — did little or nothing about segregation in the South, because doing so would offend southern white (and Democrat) pols whose votes were needed for New Deal legislation.  Never forget, also, that Roosevelt was president in 1942 when American citizens of Japanese descent were shipped to "resettlement centers" because of their ethnicity.  As recently as the early 1960s, JFK had to be practically dragged into acting on behalf of southern blacks.

Played Out: the Liberal Racists' "Uncle Tom" Card.  Holding a black man to a different intellectual standard based on his skin color.  Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism.  Employing one of the most infamous, overused epithets against minority conservatives in the Democratic lexicon.  "Apologizing," but disclaiming responsibility.  Sorry ... that he got caught.  Just another day at the left-wing racist office.

Democrats put Blacks in the Back of the Bus.  Currently the unemployment rate for black Americans is 13.5%, vs. 6.7% for whites, but the rate for black teens is 42.6%, vs. 21.6% for whites.  It's clear that the Obama economy has had a very disparate impact on blacks.  This is in large part due to the much lower skill levels of blacks than whites.  While 94.4% of whites finish High School only 88.1% of blacks do.  Similarly while 39.2% of whites have at least a Bachelors degree only 20.1% of blacks do.  There are many theories as to why this gap exists but a likely cause is the horrible state of public education in the inner cities where Democrat politicians and teachers unions work together with little concern for the children they're supposed to serve.

Prominent Blacks Deserting the Liberal Plantation.  In the last few months we have seen the rise to national prominence of the conservative Dr. Ben Carson of Maryland, the surprise emergence of Bishop E.W. Jackson as the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor in Virginia, and now Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory has switched parties with a video that has gone viral.  During this period Republican Congressman Tim Scott also became the junior US Senator from South Carolina.  Note, too, that about a year ago former Alabama Congressman Artur Davis switched parties.

More Black Democrats May Be Ready to Switch Parties.  After two black Democrat state legislators switched parties in the span of a month, more frustrated black Democrats may be willing to join them.

Rewriting history and 'Looking Backward'.  A quick Internet search reveals the following:  69 percent of Senate Democrats supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but that margin of support was far surpassed by the Republican Party — where the bill had 82 percent support!  It was virtually the same story in the House, where only 63 percent of Democrats supported the end of Jim Crow laws, but fully 80 percent of Republicans did!  Makes sense considering that Republicans were the party of Lincoln, abolition and emancipation!  By the following year, Democrats were starting to come along, and a larger proportion of them supported the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but they still trailed behind Republicans.

Black America shouldn't give Obama a pass.  I hope President Obama appreciates the grand bargain he's getting from African Americans:  unwavering support, stratospheric approval rating, muted exasperation when he disappoints, vociferous defense when he's under attack.  But what do black people get in return?

KKK Lynched 3,446 Blacks in 86 Years — Abortion Claims That Many Black Babies in 'Less Than Four Days'.  Over 86 years, the Ku Klux Klan lynched 3,446 blacks — a figure matched in less than four days if tallying the number of black babies who are aborted.  Walter Hoye, founder and president of the Issues4Life Foundation, shared those statistics at a press conference on Tuesday where black clergy and other leaders gathered in response to the guilty verdict in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of murdering three newborn babies.

25 Reasons To Dislike Liberals.  [#18]  Liberals have been big supporters of slavery, Indian massacres, the KKK, eugenics, fascism, communism and Jim Crow laws.  Then, down the road, after liberals finally join everyone else, they try to claim that conservatives still support all the practices that we fought liberals on from the beginning.  [#19]  Liberals think black Americans are inferior to whites, which is why the worst, most crime-ridden places to live in America are inevitably run by liberals.  That's acceptable to liberals because they don't think black Americans deserve any better.

Barack Obama's America.  Barack Obama's America is a place where the president's daughters can vacation on the taxpayers' dime in the Caribbean and twice at ski resorts, all within three months, plus attend ritzy private schools, while poor black children at horribly failing schools in the District of Columbia have their "opportunity scholarships" taken away.  Barack Obama's America is one where a black man can be elected president and a black man can be appointed attorney general, and then where both they and their sub-appointees can argue that huge parts of America are still fundamentally racist.

The Minimum Wage Hurts Unskilled Black Workers.  Historically, [...] minimum wage laws and unions have actually hurt the black community.  Did you know that there was a time in our country, after the Civil War, when white unemployment was higher than black unemployment?  It seems almost unfathomable now, but that was the case in the early decades of the 20th Century.  This was intentionally changed after Congress enacted the first federal minimum wage law:  the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931.

School for scandal.  The seven were nicknamed "the chosen" and, according to Georgia state investigator Richard Hyde, the less than magnificent seven sat in a locked room without windows, erasing wrong answers and inserting correct ones.  It's one thing for a child to cheat on a test; it's quite another for teachers to do it.  Compounding the cheating scandal is that the children in this elementary school are mostly poor and African-American.  How are they helped to develop a moral sense, not to mention an academic foundation that will lift them out of poverty, if they get the message that cheating is better than achieving?

The Party of Civil Rights.  Of the 21 Democratic senators who opposed the 1964 [civil rights] act, only one would ever change parties.  Nor did the segregationist constituencies that elected these Democrats throw them out in favor of Republicans:  The remaining 20 continued to be elected as Democrats or were replaced by Democrats.  It was, on average, nearly a quarter of a century before those seats went Republican.  If southern rednecks ditched the Democrats because of a civil-rights law passed in 1964, it is strange that they waited until the late 1980s and early 1990s to do so.

History Lesson: Racist Democrats and the Big Lie.  It makes [Democrats] profoundly uncomfortable that among the 21 who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 can be found Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., the founder of the Hillbilly Dynasty; Robert "KKK" Byrd, the Conscience of the Senate; and Sleepin' Sam Ervin of Watergate fame.

No Guns, No School: Liberal Racism In Obama's Chicago.  Facing a billion-dollar budget shortfall, the Chicago Public Schools' plan to close 54 schools, mostly in black and low-income neighborhoods, forces many students to cross gang boundaries to get a mediocre education.

25 Examples of Liberal Racism in Quotes.  [None that I would care to print on akdart.com ]

Race-Baiting Perez Would Enforce Hiring Quotas At Labor.  By putting his civil-rights pit bull in charge of the Labor Department, the president thinks he can force businesses to hire minorities amid record joblessness.  But he'll only alienate employers more.

Minimum wage responsible for black unemployment, Sowell says.  In an appearance on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" with fill-in host and Daily Caller editor in chief Tucker Carlson, author Thomas Sowell argued that the federal minimum wage law has been used to undermine companies that employ blacks.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, the black unemployment rate was more than double the rate for whites.  But prior to the 1930s, Sowell said, black unemployment was actually lower than white unemployment.

Ensuring Black Kids Get Inferior Education: a Civil Rights Issue?  The single greatest civil rights issue in modern America is the inferior quality of education that so many black Americans are receiving.  If the KKK were in charge of the school system in cities like Detroit and Atlanta, the kids couldn't be getting a much poorer education.  But, as long as there are black, liberal Democrats running the show and wetting their beaks, nobody seems to care whether the children get educated.

President Obama's War On Women And Minorities.  The 2012 election featured the bottom feeding charge of a Republican War on Women.  The grounds for such a charge were less than zero.  But with the Democrat Party outright controlling so much of the national media, every Democrat talking point takes on added weight.  Is opposition to abortion indicative of a "war on women?"  That would overlook the fact that at least half of babies aborted are female.  Maybe it is a liberal war on women.

'Know Your Place': Elite Media Target Herman Cain.  There is no greater danger to the left (and therefore the media) than minorities who "forget their place" and join the Republican Party.  Each time this occurs, it represents a two-part existential threat.  First, these apostates undermine the cherished media narrative that portrays Republicans as intolerant of anyone who isn't white or male.  Second, those who think for themselves might give others ideas.  And so, in order to terrify others into "knowing their place," the media targets "runners" for personal destruction.

20 Of The Most Embarrassing Moments In The History Of The Democrat Party.  [#6] Democrats Successfully Stop Republicans From Making Lynching A Federal Crime (1922):  "The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer's (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal crime.  Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure." [...] [#12] Fire Hoses And Attack Dogs Used On Children (1963):  Birmingham, Alabama's notorious Commissioner of Public Safety, Democrat Bull Connor, used attack dogs and fire hoses on children and teenagers marching for civil rights.  Ultimately, thousands of them would also be arrested.  [#13] Stand In The Schoolhouse Door (1963):  Democrat George Wallace gave his notorious speech against integrating schools at the University of Alabama in which he said, "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."

Black Leaders: 'Direct Correlation Between Gun Control and Black People Control'.  Gun control dates back to laws before and after the Civil War that prohibited or restricted African Americans from owning firearms, a group of black leaders said Friday [2/22/2013] at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.  "History is [rife] with examples.  There's a direct correlation between gun control and black people control," Stacy Swimp, president and CFO of the Frederick Douglass Society, said at the event.

Star Parker: Blacks Who Back Gun Control Need to Study History of Slavery and Jim Crow.  [Scroll down]  Parker said:  "Well, I'd say they need to revisit their history — black history, black slave history, black Jim Crow history — and they should visit the histories of other tyrant nations where we had people like Hitler and Stalin and Mao.  Every single time there is someone who wants to take away all other rights of the people, the first right they take away is your right to bear arms."  "I believe that the the Congressional Black community, or the Congressional Black Caucus is absolutely out of step with black America today on this issue," Parker said.

That Could NEVER Happen Here...  On February 19th, 1942 FDR willfully and intentionally violated The Constitution, an act for which he should have been impeached.  I am speaking of the Japanese internment — the rounding up of over 100,000 people who were frog-marched into Concentration Camps on American soil.  Far more than half were American Citizens with a full and complete set of alleged Constitutional Rights.

Pro-Obama election flyer marked with NAACP seal featured Klan, lynching imagery.  A presidential election flier disseminated in North Carolina and marked with a seal for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) featured Ku Klux Klan and lynching imagery as part of its presentation urging voters to head to the polls.  Another pro-Obama flier in North Carolina informed African-American voters that Mitt Romney would relegate them to "picking cotton" if elected president.

The Minority Youth Unemployment Act.  In his latest attempt to increase the minority youth jobless rate, President Obama is proposing to raise the minimum wage.  In his State of the Union address, Mr. Obama proposed an increase to $9 an hour by 2015 from $7.25, and then indexing the minimum to inflation.  "Employers may get a more stable workforce due to reduced turnover and increased productivity," the White House says.  No doubt employers are slamming their foreheads wondering why they didn't think of that.

Against the Ghetto Plantation.  If Frederick Douglass walked today's ghettos, he would witness a new-age style of slavery, plantations without the lash and chains.  He would soon be outraged that government overseers are perpetuating generations of dependency through policies designed to capture the votes of the ignorant.

Harry Belafonte Condemns "White America," Pleads for Civilian Disarmament.  Lest we forget, southern racists created America's first gun control laws.  They depended on it.  Without gun control, they couldn't have raped, tortured, disenfranchised and murdered blacks.  Today's gun control laws continue to leave African Americans — in specific — defenseless against the vicious criminals that prey upon their communities.  Not to put too fine a point on it, gun control is racism.

NAACP president: Black people worse off under Obama.  NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said Sunday [1/27/2013], perhaps unwittingly, that black Americans "are doing far worse" than when President Obama first took office.  "The country's back to pretty much where it was when this president started," Mr. Jealous told MSNBC host David Gregory on "Meet the Press."  "White people in this country are doing a bit better.  Black people are doing far worse."

The Editor says...
Maybe next time you should vote for someone who knows how to run a business and put people to work, and who can improve your situation, instead of voting for an incompetent "community organizer" just because he's your favorite color.

Obama's Mention of Gay Rights May Raise Eyebrows Among Black Backers.  By linking the founding moments of women's rights (Seneca Falls, N.Y.), African-American rights (Selma, Ala.), and gay rights (Stonewall Inn), President Obama stepped forcefully into a politically charged zone.  He became the first president to mention the word "gay" and the issue of gay rights in an inaugural address, according to ABC News.  While praised by gay-rights advocates, the remark might raise eyebrows in the African-American community, where social conservatism runs deep, as does skepticism about gay rights.

Liberalism Versus Blacks.  San Francisco is a classic example of a city unexcelled in its liberalism.  But the black population of San Francisco today is less than half of what it was back in 1970, even though the city's total population has grown.  Severe restrictions on building housing in San Francisco have driven rents and home prices so high that blacks and other people with low or moderate incomes have been driven out of the city.  The same thing has happened in a number of other California communities dominated by liberals.

Kwanzaa, Liberalism And Hypocrisy.  I have never met a Black liberal who truly embraces the kind of self-determination Kwanzaa proposes, which calls for one to define themselves and speak for themselves.  Black liberals have been indoctrinated by an ideology which makes it instinctive to malign, slander, and assassinate any idea, definition, or expression that does not espouse liberal Democrat policies.  Liberal Black Americans do not self-define.  They are defined by the Democrat Party and they fight to promote those definitions.

Radio Host on Tim Scott: 'Black Only in Skin Color'.  Tim Scott has been appointed to fill the South Carolina Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Jim DeMint and immediately the racebaiters jumped in with both feet to attack him.  One of the early hatemongers was Amos Brown, a host on a religious radio station in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Brown used his Twitter account to claim that African American Tim Scott isn't really a black man.

MI Union destroys hot dog cart, calls owner an 'Uncle Tom' over right-to-work.  Clint Tarver's hot dog cart, which he has operated since 1996, is another casualty of the union protest against the right-to-work law.  Union members destroyed the cart and called Tarver an "Uncle Tom," among other racist epithets, for serving right-to-work proponents.  After destroying the Americans for Prosperity tent, where Tarver was catering hotdogs, the mob turned there [sic] attention to the hot dog cart.

Union Thugs Demolish Lansing, Michigan Hot Dog Vendor Clint Tarver's Equipment.  Everyone who has passed the hot dog cart knows what a kind and caring individual Clint is.  He never fails to bestow a smile or friendly greeting.  In no way [did] he provoke this attack, nor any of the behavior displayed toward him.

Union Goons Destroyed Man's Hot Dog Cart While Calling Him [Names].  So Mr. Tarver runs a business, semi retires, operates a hot dog cart for so long that it becomes a local icon, then gets himself hired by those Koch minions and somehow gets the unions' tolerant and thoughtful ones to call him names and wreck his business, er, if you're a liberal and buy the alternate history view of Tuesday's events.  That's one of the longest and weirdest false flag operations I've ever heard of.

Saturday Night Card Game (WaPo plays the Rice card).  Everytime I think the Democratic race card players could not get more vile, more deranged, more patronizingly demeaning to blacks, someone manages to defy even my vivid imagination.

For Some, Obama Was Just Good Enough.  Blacks and Hispanics in particular believe the country is headed in the right direction.  Black voters appear to feel that way despite soaring black unemployment.  By contrast, the real explanation for Obama's strong showing among Hispanic voters may have less to do with Republican immigration policy and more to do with the fact that two-thirds of the jobs created during Obama's presidency have gone to immigrants, legal and illegal.
