Democrats have historically been racist party
Editor, The Sun:
These are such entertaining times. The Governor of Kalifornia, in typical pandering fashion, makes a statement that he is dumb and can’t read- just like black people. Furthermore, the prized hair-gel of a governor can’t seem to understand what the definition of “govern” is and he, more than likely, could not care less. Finally, Gov. Newsom is faced with a scorecard of his impact on Kalifornia’s educational system and it is a doozy – a black student in Mississippi is 2.5X more likely to read proficiently by 4th grade than if he or she lived in California (NAEP 2024). It seems one political brand just can’t seem to get out of their own way and I’m fine with that. The Democrats have pandered, lied, weaseled, enslaved and have been racist for as long as I can remember. Oh, for our friends on the Left, let’s remind them that racism is not the same as bigotry. Us critical-thinkers understand the distinction. However, for the Karens, the AWFLs and most Democrats, they probably cannot read Webster’s Dictionary, much less comprehend the distinction between the two terms. But I digress. Many individual Americans of color, your humble servant included, appreciate the blessings of this wonderful country and we see political postures through a different lens. But, from time to time, it is worthy to refresh one’s memory of notable events regarding Americans of color: • Gettysburg Address in 1863. Republican President Abraham Lincoln delivered the 272 word speech to usher in a renewed sense of equality • Jim Crow laws. From 1877 to the 1960s, predominantly Democrat-governed states enforced laws to limit opportunities for folks of color • Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), longest serving member of the US Senate and organizer and leader of the local Klu Klux Klan. • In 1957, then President Dwight Eisenhower (R) federalized the Arkansas Nat’l Guard and deployed the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock to enforce the integration of nine black students. Gov. Faubus was a Democrat and had resisted the federal court order to integrate. • Civil Rights Act. Passed by Congress in 1964 after a long filibuster by Democrats and the solid wall of Republican votes forced then-President Johnson (D) to not veto the bill which Democrats resisted the Civil Rights Act. Key Senators resisting the passage of the CRA included Al Gore Sr, the father of one of climate changes biggest fools- Al Gore Jr. The aforementioned is merely a small sample of the continued legacy of the Democrats political ideology. The Dems wish to politically enslave through compromised values, corrupt voting practices, financial handcuffs such as welfare and denigration of everything not Democrat. Folks of color don’t be fooled. Certainly the GOP is not perfect but it is a far sight better, for all of us, than the the Democrat party. Always, always, view a Democrat with a jaundiced look and suspicion. There is no such thing as a good rabid skunk. Keep that in mind when listening to a Democrat.
