The Democrats’ Obsession with Race

It is obvious now that Kamala Harris is going to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for President this year.  Democrats have invested so much of their history into race that they cannot turn their backs on her.  “Kamalamania” is currently wide, but how deep?   James Carville and other Democrats have said she's going to get slaughtered.  I don't know if she will or not because I can’t predict the future.  But there are many Democrats who are concerned.  She has problems, and they know it.  They must completely remake her, and they are trying.

Thus, the propaganda machine is working overtime to persuade Americans that she is qualified and should be elected president.  They have to do that because they cannot escape from her for two reasons—her race and gender.  DEI has the Democrats trapped.  

Race has been an obsession for the Democratic Party their entire history, and it still is.   And it has indeed been politically successful for them.  They don’t really care anything about blacks as people today any more than they did back in the days of slavery.  Blacks were a tool for Democratic Southerners to make money, and now blacks are a tool for Democrat politicians to gain political power.  Blacks have always been a tool for Democrats, and that’s such a sad thing, part of the evil that is the Democratic Party.

Thus, historically, and it is just as true today, the Democratic Party has used and abused blacks for their own advantage. And that’s true of Kamala Harris.

I don't oppose Harris because of the color of her skin.  I oppose her because of her far left-wing, anti-American policies.  I don't believe she's a good person, but, in the main, it’s what she thinks that gains my disapprobation.  If she felt the way I do, if she were a conservative, pro-American Christian who believed in a limited government, virtuous Republic, I would support her politically 100 percent.   Her skin color is utterly irrelevant.

And in one sense, that’s true for Democrats, too.  They back her because of her Leftist beliefs, but the key point is that obsession with race is one of their cardinal doctrines.  They don’t care about blacks, though they hope her race will win them votes.  If they were genuinely concerned about black advancement, they would celebrate the success of black conservatives, too.  They would rejoice over Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, and other black conservatives who have succeeded because of their merit and hard work.  But Democrats hate Clarence Thomas and successful black conservatives because such blacks expose the fallacy of Democratic Party ideology.  

The Democrats propagandize that America is a systemically white racist country, white supremacist and that the whole system has been rigged to favor white people and disadvantage people of color.  Since racism is systemic and inherent in the American ethos, black people cannot succeed without affirmative action, DEI, and the Democratic Party.  And black people like Clarence Thomas, who HAVE succeeded on their own merits, prove the lie and fallacy of that Leftist ideological belief.  Blacks don’t really need Democrats; Thomas, Scott, Ben Carson, and millions of other achieving blacks prove that.  And thus disprove Democratic Party dogma.

That's incredibly important.  Democrats have made a living; they have gained political power—all through their history, from slavery until today—on the lie that black people cannot succeed without them.  Clarence Thomas disproves that.  So, they hate Clarence Thomas.

I am extremely happy that people like Kamala Harris can succeed in America.  If she got where she is because of her ability and merit, then I would applaud that endlessly.  But, frankly, by her own words, she's a walking contradiction.  As a Democrat, she believes in the systemic racism of America.   But now, she wants to convince America that she is where she is because of her merit and “qualifications.”  Which is it, Kamala?  Is America “systemically racist” where blacks like you can’t succeed on their own, or did YOU succeed by your ability, thus giving the lie to your own Democratic Party propaganda?  

I genuinely wish Kamala was where she was on merit, but her own party declared it’s not true.  She was a DEI appointment, and Joe Biden said, "I’m going to appoint a black woman as Vice-President.”  He plainly announced he would select someone based on color and gender; if Kamala were indeed the most qualified person, why didn’t Biden just say that?  By the admission of the President of the United States, Harris didn’t become Vice-President because she earned it; she got there because of DEI.  And now, she wants to convince us that she deserves to be President because of her own abilities.

Many black people in America have succeeded because of their individual competence.  They’ve actually been doing it for a long time.  Kamala Harris just isn’t one of them, thank you, Willie Brown and Joe Biden.  

The truth is, it’s the Democrat Party who is, and always has been, racist, who believes in the inferiority of blacks.  I believe in America.  I believe in ALL Americans: white, black, brown, yellow, red, green, purple—I don’t care what their skin looks like.  I believe in equal opportunity for every CITIZEN of the United States.  But the Democratic Party intends to keep as many people of color as possible enslaved to the government and lie to them that they can’t make it in America on their own, all the while NOW exalting a Presidential candidate who they claim made it to the top by merit.  

Blacks used to be slaves of Democratic Party Southern slaveowners for financial reasons.  Now, they are slaves of Democratic Party tyrants for political reasons.

I don’t oppose Kamala Harris because of the color of her skin.  I oppose her because her far-left, godless, Marxist policies will continue to enslave black people and will indeed hurt all Americans of every race.
