As many have known for years and warned frequently, the Democratic Party strategy of race-baiting was merely a tactic to gain political power for their White leadership. Sound really cynical? Take a look at the new strategy. Old habits die hard, as the saying goes. And so, too, do deeply-rooted, institutional policies reflective of a rotten core…like the Democratic Party’s harboring of bold racial animus and disdain while claiming the mantle of “diversity,” and at the same time, employing the most overtly divisive racial political strategies seen in this country during the past 60 years.
If not for racism, how else to account for the pervasive corruption in the Democratic party, and yet, under the authority of the Democrat-controlled Office of Congressional Ethics, only one White member is under investigation, while at least eight Black members are? Coincidence? Seems unlikely.
Chris Dodd. Barney Frank. Nancy Pelosi. Jim Moran. These are just some of the names that swiftly percolate to the surface during any man-on-the-street interview with regular Americans when you ask their views on corrupt politicians. And yet, not a one of them is currently under investigation by the Democrat-controlled Office of Congressional Ethics.
So, what is it, exactly, that differentiates those members of the Democratic Party from, say, Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, Melvin Watt, or Jesse Jackson, Jr., all of whom are currently enjoying “official, enhanced scrutiny”? Time in office? Power at hand? Intelligence? Good luck? Or, have they garnered special treatment simply because of the color of their skin?
Seem far-fetched? Here is how Democrat cheerleader Froma Harrop described Pelosi’s strategy in her Real Clear Politics column:
“That the Democrats under the microscope -- New York Rep. Charles B. Rangel and California Rep. Maxine Waters -- are both black only underscores the seriousness with which the Democratic leadership supports a new set of standards for conduct.”
In the 45 years since the inception of Civil Rights legislation in America, Democrats have taken Blacks from the back of the Democrat bus, propelled them up to the front of the bus when the microphones and the cameras were in evidence – festooning their likeness throughout – and then chucked them unceremoniously under the bus in order to get back what they consider their lost redneck voters. And yet, this is the political party that consistently “earns” over 90% of Black support at the polls?
