Democrats Still Want To Keep Black Folks On Their Plantation

 

About a decade ago I wrote a post in part about Democrats disdain for black folks who wander off their government plantation. A couple of years later I penned one about a study that showed white liberals condescend to black people. (That shouldn’t have been a shock.)

Those “progressives” who try to make blacks believe the only hope they have is to rely on them (the “progressives”) to throw them a bone now and again—as long as they continue to vote the right way—are no different than the slave-masters of old. In fact, if blacks believe this message—and abide by the progressives’ wishes—there really is no hope for them, because if you don’t believe it is possible for you to achieve a better, freer, life on your own, it will be impossible for you to achieve a better, freer, life on your own. By doing this, progressives ensure that black folks who buy their message and obey them will never be able to escape a kind of mental, spiritual, and economic slavery. That is not moral, it is not caring, it is not tolerant. If you ask me, it is despicable and borderline criminal. The soft bigotry of low expectations isn’t that soft. In fact, it is devastating. But, just as Leftists don’t wish to hold others responsible, or don’t believe certain groups are capable of being responsible, they themselves do not want to be held accountable for any or all the damage they’ve done, either. And, tragically, they never really have been. (See also, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom, Keith Ellison, Eric holder, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, Adam Schiff, etc., etc., etc.)

In the wake of the Democrats’ indignant response to President Trump’s alleged attempt at bribing Americans to vote for Republicans in the upcoming mid-term elections, it must be noted that Democrats don't just bribe folks, especially black folks, they expect them to stay on their welfare plantation, unquestioningly, forever. If a black person dares to wander off, they are immediately set upon. The Democrats employ the equivalent of electronic fencing around the smallish perimeter of the plantation. Dare to cross, and the alarms go off. Because Democrats don't tolerate independent thinking, they demand obedience and obsequiousness. This should be anathema in a sane world. Yet, should a person of color (POC) somehow permanently escape their plantation, it calls the Democrats’ virtue signaling into question, thereby driving them mad. (Short drive, indeed.) So, you see, from the physical plantations of the 1800s to the mental and spiritual ones of today, Democrats haven't changed that much in terms of their racism. They just try to pass it off as caring and empathy. And they have largely succeeded. Remarkable.

As in the past, knowledge, independence, and courage can lead the way to an Underground Railroad of sorts, this one figurative…and freedom of the mind, spirit, and body for today’s blacks. So, my heartfelt message to them is to leave the plantation…and take a train to freedom and dignity. Perhaps prosperity will follow. It is high time to walk away from an old obedience that has never done you anything but harm.

And rest assured, those in the Party of Lincoln will welcome you with open arms. And no shackles.
