Keeping Racism Alive

Sponsored by: Patriot Home Funding

It sure has been a tough couple of weeks for the racists in the democrat party, which is to say pretty much all the elected democrat representatives, media, and race hustlers stealing power and money from their constituents. The Southern Poverty Law Center indictment and the Callais decision striking racial gerrymandering by the Supreme Court have rocked the democrat and left to their core. I'd have some sympathy for them if I didn't have total disdain for the damage they've done to our republic- note that I said republic, not democracy- but I don't because they are lower than whale excrement and beneath contempt. They have neither your or even their own constiuencies' best interest at heart. They don't seek to construct, they seek to destruct.

From Chuck Schumer saying that voter ID laws are "Jim Crow 2.0," to Kathy Hochul saying that "Blacks don't know what a computer and the internet are," to Joe Biden saying "You ain't black unless you vote for me," to Gavin Newsom saying to a predominately black crowd in Atlanta that, "I can't read, I'm just like you black people..." That real racism and outright bigotry is a staple of the democrat party and has been for over 160 years.

George W. Bush spoke about the "soft bigotry of low expectations," which is absolutely true, but the modern-day democrat party and their apparatchiks have somehow managed to lower that to the absolute hard bigotry of no expectations. Racism is the capital that the democrat party trades in, cratering expectations and standards for behavior for minorities and the poor to enslave them economically, intellectually, and culturally- none of which benefits the so called "communities" they purport to support.

Instead, they use the racism to first acquire and then expand their own power and wealth. You might say that it is a solution looking for a problem. To them, the "communities" are the plantation and they are the masters, and they exploit them for their own political benefit and wealth. As I said earlier, they are beneath our contempt.

Oh, they're mad alright... Georgia Senator and Atlanta slumlord Raphael Warnock said this after the Supreme Court's Callais decision overturning racially based gerrymandering, "No one elected this court. It's really not up to the Supreme Court." Even Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor got in on the act, when speaking in the Temporary Protected Status arguments, she implied that admitting Scandinavian immigrants over Somalian and Haitian immigrants was racist.

Forget the fact that lifetime net contributions to the economy of Scandinavian immigrants is a positive $557,000, compared with a net cost of negative $675,000 for Haitian immigrants and a net cost of Somalis of negative $1.1 million. Scandinavians commit crimes at about one fifth of the rate of the Haitians and Somalis, have an average IQ that is over 30 points higher, and their literacy rates are about 30 percent higher. Justice Sotomayor, it isn't racist, it is about bringing in people who can contribute and assimilate, not drain our finances and steal from us. It is about rewarding ability and achievement.

Perhaps the pig that squealed the loudest is House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who said the Supreme Court is "illegitimate" and that "We are now at a point where affirmative action is gone, diversity is gone, equity is gone, and inclusion is gone." Dang straight, congressman, and for the better.

Let's look at Jeffries' statement point by point.

Affirmative Action is a synonym for racism, taking away opportunity and wealth from people who have earned it and giving it to people who haven't based solely on non-merit-based factors like race, gender, sexual orientation, or political ideology.

Diversity is the illegitimate little brother of Affirmative Action, where merit doesn't matter, but rather a false construct that segregates us based on physical characteristics as opposed to uniting us based on excellence, achievement, or a unique culture.

Equity is the process of engineering equal outcomes instead of equal opportunity. The only equal in equity is that everybody winds up equally worse off. Equity is a fundamental component of Marxism, stemming from the Marxist goal of eliminating class distinctions based on ability, but rather based on "need" as determined by an omnipotent government. Perhaps you've heard the saying. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." That's what equity is.

Inclusion is also a Marxist construct that encourages lowering and elimination of standards and performance in favor of an emotionally based feeling of value, where value is not based on achievement or great ideas, but rather how people feel. Inclusion is the basis of the "participation trophy," where just showing up and feeling or believing a certain way is given equal value as achievement and winning, which is the exact opposite of capitalism and entrepreneurialism.

Democrats are willing to, and are actively seeking to, tear down any and all institutions in America to enact their version of Marxism, which is a straight line to socialism and then communism. There are no standards, no rules, no laws, only the relentless pursuit of power and a socialist utopia.

When standards are destroyed or compromised, when people become accustomed to receiving special treatment, then the application of standards and elimination of special treatment is seen as oppression, and the standard bearers are seen as oppressors, when in fact the opposite is true. When standards are lowered, when ability and achievement and become devalued, that is real oppression, or as President Bush said, the soft bigotry of low expectations. When excellence is demanded and rewarded, and people are given the same opportunity, society benefits as a whole through the achievement and innovation of the best and brightest, and it is human nature to strive, not to settle. The rising tide really does lift all boats.

I guess all this can be summed up with two great quotes, the first from Thomas Sowell, who said, "The real motives of liberals have nothing to do with the welfare of other people. Instead, they have two related goals- to establish themselves as morally and intellectually superior to the rather distasteful population of common people, and to gather as much power as possible to tell those distasteful common people how they must live their lives."

The second one, and more to the point, is from an anonymous author, who said, "To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth."

And as for Hakeem Jeffries, perhaps the Rev. Martin Luther King was speaking about him when he said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
