The Hypocrisy of Protesting Race Relations in America

As we see turmoil hit our streets, it seems that the argument has been lost – no longer sought after, never to be sought after again. Protesters in New York City, Berkeley, and Ferguson have been blind to the narrative that they are being used for. To the outside world, it is pretty easy to see that the anger is placed in the wrong direction, and the looming dangers that are now presented. In a last plea of hope, the Democratic campaign is at it again, using the Black community for political gain. From the tragic days of slavery, segregation, electing the first black president, and now racial profiling, the narrative has successfully been placed in the minds of those on the streets: there are racist people out there and you must rely on us (the Democrats) to protect you.

Mind you this is all coming after an Executive Action for amnesty is placed on the table, which would take away 5 million jobs and much needed funds (since our debt clock has now ticked past 18 trillion dollars) that could very easily be used to restore urban communities that are highly populated by minorities. Many of these protesters do not realize that they have been under Democratic rule for many years, and they have forgotten (or just ignored the fact) that there are new faces in these towns. In the Midterm Elections, we saw a wave of red as Democrats were replaced by Republican candidates who have a pretty good rap sheet when it comes to running our government. Not only this, but it really is a slap in the face that we Republicans voted people like Mia Love and Tim Scott into office to give this community a better voice, and now we are being called racists.

Here is a little history lesson about race and the political parties. It is never safe to assume, but it would be pretty safe in this situation to assume that many of these protesters did in fact vote democrat at one point or another. From the 1800’s, the Democratic party has had its hands in the mud of slavery and segregation, once proclaimed as the “White Man’s Party” (they also proclaimed the Republican party to be how do we say politely… full of black people). The 14th Amendment had 0 support from the Democratic party. By the late 1800’s, the Democratic party regained control of the southern states and well that is how it stayed until the 1950’s and 1960’s (oh yeah in the 1930’s they filibustered anti-lynching bills until they disappeared). Also, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that the protesters keep referring to? It was supported by larger percentages of Republicans in both Houses. The Democratic party is in fact, the originating force behind the KKK and pushed for segregation in the south. This is also why you saw some KKK campaign ads leading up to the 2014 elections in Mississippi.

So what is happening now that many have blindly walked past during their rampant and destructive temper tantrums? That the Democratic party has successfully made many Americans, a large majority of blacks, (11% are unemployed by the way) entirely dependent on the Government. They tell you who to vote for, what music to listen to, what clothes to buy, how much money to spend.. But they do not encourage you to have a top notch education, they do not encourage beautification efforts in your communities, they do not encourage a lifestyle that is healthy for yourself or those around you. More black people are killed by other black people than cops ten times over. Thousands have been gunned down on the streets of Chicago, where guns are supposed to be illegal. They have ran campaigns for you to give up your right to practice your religion, whereas 98% of Black Democrats are very religious, this should be something you take more seriously. They have successfully convinced you that “crime isn’t the problem, guns are.” Look now, “crime isn’t the problem, race is.”

Black Criminality is a very serious issue. One parent homes are on the rise, drop out rates continue to climb in urban areas, arrest rates increase and are beginning to trend at younger and younger ages. There must be a time when the black community, and every community for that matter, must look inside and acknowledge their influence on society. If you are selling drugs, it probably is not a good influence, if you are pushing for a degree to one day better your community, it probably is. If you promote a hostile environment, your environment will become hostile. If you continue to break the law, you will continue to have interactions with the police.

There is such thing as accountability. It is an attribute that was once apart of our daily lives, however now escapes us as time goes by. We must not continue to blame someone else for our issues, we must stand up to the occasion and make ourselves better people.
