He can count on the votes of people who vote Democrat because they vote Democrat, because they have generic world views sculpted by leftist propaganda (the rich don’t pay their share; we have to preserve the planet; everyone deserves everything). But many of his votes seem to be coming from barely literate people being rounded up like kindergartners and bussed to polling places, where they are told who to vote for. And the reason they are doing this is that they are being told either that they will get free stuff, or that the other guy is so awful he wants to kill them.
Here’s the thing: whatever free stuff they get will suck. Their “free” healthcare will suck. Their free housing will suck. Their food stamps will suck. The simple reality is that whatever handouts are offered, they are a FRACTION of what would be available to them if they simply had decent jobs.
Here is a nice clip from Malcolm X, where he points out that the Democrats were elected because of the “negro” vote, but basically ignored them. It is a matter of historical fact that, percentage-wise, WAY more Democrats opposed Johnson’s Civil Rights initiatives than Republicans. I did the math once, and it was roughly twice.
I will add that it is a horrible shame Malcolm X was shot. He was a true leader. He was racist, but if he is calling for black self respect, and black self determination, that is something I can easily live with. In fact, I admire it. He had balls. He answered to no one but his own conscience. He and Martin Luther King, Jr. were the only true black leaders I have seen in my lifetime, although Bill Cosby has made some efforts at it.
The simple and inescapable truth is that if I were a behind the curtain string puller TRYING to ruin black America, I could do no better than to foist upon blacks leaders like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Barack Obama, Louis Farrakhan (who if memory serves was possibly involved in Malcolms’ assassination), and Jeremiah Wright. If you wanted to DESTROY black America, these are the sort of people you would choose. Why? They are self aggrandising, unprincipled egomaniacs whose sole purpose is obtaining wealth and power through race baiting.
What has Barack Obama done for black people? What has he even TRIED to do for black people? Everything Malcolm X says here about Johnson is doubly true for Obama, since black people voted for him BECAUSE he was black. But he isn’t black. And he doesn’t care. Black Americans are being played, again, for chumps.
