The Democrats Think They Own Black Americans’ Votes, and Will Bully and Lie to Keep Them – The Stream
It is that time of the year when we can expect retail stores to be selling us Easter bunnies and chocolate. This has something remotely to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And its always in season for the Democrats to be selling us on the notion of Republicans being racists.
Nothing the Democrats have done since losing the Civil War in 1865 has improved quality of life in any conceivable way for the vast majority of Black Americans. But it makes sense that the party of Joe Biden would be reaching into its old bag of tricks, trying to convince their most faithful constituency to vote for them in the 2022 mid-term elections. The latest acts of deception: claims that Republicans are racists who 1) dont want to stop lynchings; 2) are against voting rights for Blacks; and 3) do not want a Black woman to be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice.
Lets start with the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Bill. Did you know that the Congress original anti-lynching bill was first introduced in 1917 by a Republican, Representative Leonidas C. Dyer from Saint Louis? It died of filibuster by Democrats. Every year, lynchings kill exactly zero black Americans. This has been true for decades. Abortion, by contrast, is the number one killer of minorities, but Democrats today care as little about that as they used to care about lynching.
The new Emmett Till bill (H.R. 55) adds nothing substantive to 18 U.S. Code 249 (the Hate Crime Acts). It would give judges the discretion to sentence those found guilty of the crime of lynching for up to 30 years in prison, in comparison to the 10 year maximum sentencing guidelines for other hate crimes. But a judge could have accomplished the same effect of a 25-years-to-life sentence simply by running consecutive terms for all the other crimes related to a lynching, such as kidnapping, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated murder, etc.
So this bill is just more dusty window dressing outside the massage parlor called Playing Blacks For Stupid. It is nothing less than political concubinage, where Democrats work as hard as they can to stir up and perpetuate the sacrament of fear. The goal? To keep blacks serving their political masters, the Democrats.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, in November 2020, 69% of the Black American population was registered to vote. The Brennan Center for Justice reported in August 2021, that more Black Americans voted in 2020 than any presidential election since 2012. Yet, on March 6, 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris stood at a podium on Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. She spoke to hundreds of black citizens whod always had the right to vote. But she pretended that Black folk are being kept from the polls, as if they did not play a vital role in twice electing Barack Obama as President.
The political party Black Americans have been taught to trust is manipulating them through fear. That strikes me as one of the greatest tragedies of modern civilization. One party, the Democrats, can dominate the votes of a whole ethnic group, and use it to seize the wheel of power in nearly every major city.
On top of flogging this empty, symbolic anti-lynching bill, mainstream media are trying to make a racial litmus test out of support for confirmation ofJudge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The story line here is simple: Republicans are racists. Theyre only putting on an act, and hiding it by refusing to ask Judge Jackson tough questions at an interview for a lifetime judicial appointment. Every day until Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is confirmed, CNN and the rest will keep on reminding us how Republican senators are trying hard not to remind Black voters how racist they are, so that Black voters do not show up at the ballot booth to vote against them. The ballot booth at which they are not allowed to vote, that is. Can you keep the logic there straight?
The same party that used the filibuster to block Dyers 1917 Anti-Lynching Bill used the threat of filibuster in 2005 to block President G.W. Bush from appointing Janice Rogers Brown. She was a Black pro-life Christian. Bush wanted her to replace Sandra Day OConnor. But the only good and acceptable Black Americans are those who obediently vote as Democrats tell them. So Joe Biden led a successful filibuster threat.
We should not have to live in a society where party politics have become a pseudo-religion with all the trappings of cultural sacraments and faith without reason. All Americans deserve better than political parties using fear, emotion, and lies to manipulate their votes.
