Simple Sambo and Ignorant Mammy
By Frances Rice
Democrats, who claim that they care about diversity, use despicable racial stereotypes, just as Democrats did during the days of slavery and Jim Crow, to slur black professionals, such as Dr. Condoleezza Rice and Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele.
Oreo cookies were thrown by Democrats at Mr. Steele, and two members of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Katie Barge and Lauren Weiner, committed identity theft, illegally obtaining Mr. Steele's Social Security number and credit report.
Brazenly, on the left-wing Internet website called "The News Blog," Democrats posted a doctored photograph of Mr. Steele, depicting him as a "Simple Sambo." This contemptible racist stereotype is the same one that Democrats used to demean blacks during the era of slavery and segregation.
In addition to other outrageous racist images produced by several Democrats, cartoonist Jeff Danziger depicted Dr. Rice as an ignorant, barefoot "mammy," reminiscent of the stereotyped black woman in the movie Gone with the Wind who remarked: "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies."
Democrats feel free to display such blatant racism because they know that they can take the black vote for granted. Black Americans need to wake up, think for themselves and get off of the Democratic Party's plantation. The National Black Republican Association is dedicated to exposing the failed socialist policies and racist past of the Democratic Party that has hijacked the civil rights record of the Republican Party.
As Michael Scheuer, author of Imperial Hubris, stated, Democrats remain what American history shows they always have been, the party of "four S's": Slavery, Secession. Segregation, and Socialism.
In his book, A Short History of Reconstruction, the well-respected liberal historian, Dr. Eric Foner, highlights the fact that it was Republicans, not Democrats, who championed civil rights for blacks. The Republican Party was started as the anti-slavery party and fought to free blacks from slavery, while the Democrats fought to keep blacks in slavery. Republicans pushed to amend the constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Republicans pushed to pass civil rights legislation from the 1860's to the 1960's, while the Democrats fought against every piece of civil rights legislation from the 1860's to the 1960's.
Dr. Eric Foner reveals in his book the fact that the Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats and served as the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party to lynch Republicans, black and white. The recent sham apology made by the Democrats behind the curtain of Congress made no acknowledgement of the fact that it was the Democrats, not Republicans, who fought anti-lynching legislation.
Democrats, who are howling about the much-changed South today voting largely for Republicans, seemed perfectly happy when the then-segregated South voted solidly for the Democrats. Contrary to claims by Democrats, the "Dixiecrats" remained Democrats and declared that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than vote for a Republican because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks. The racist Democrats that Republicans Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was fighting died as Democrats. The over 30-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party began in the late 1970's with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy" designed to convince fair-minded people to stop supporting the Democratic Party that was denying blacks their civil rights and start supporting the Republican Party that was fighting to grant civil rights to blacks.
The Republican Party has never turned its back on blacks. Democrats use the biased media to distort the news and create a false image of Republicans. A prime example is the Willie Horton story. It was former Vice President Al Gore who first dug up Willie Horton to use against his rival, Michael Dukakis, during the 1988 presidential primary. Al Gore is given a pass for using Willie Horton against Dukakis during the primary, but George H. W. Bush is bashed for using Willie Horton against Dukakis during the general election.
Inner-city minister, Rev. Wayne Perryman, wrote a book, Unfounded Loyalty, based on his five years of research and sued the Democratic Party, demanding an apology for their 150-year history of racism based on the Democratic Party' States Rights claims. The Democrats admitted their racist past under oath in court, but refused to apologize because they know that they can take the black vote for granted.
Today, the failed socialist policies of the Democrats (who have been running our inner-cities for the past 30-40 years) have turned our inner cities into economic and social wastelands. In an effort to keep blacks poor, angry and voting for Democrats, Democrats are fighting every effort of the Republicans to help blacks out of poverty.
Democrats opposed welfare reform in the 1990's, then blocked extension of federal welfare reform in April 2004. It took Republicans until 2005 to finally get welfare reform re-enacted. Democrats are opposed to school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black children get out of failing schools. Democrats are opposed to Social Security reform even though blacks on average lose $10,000 in the system because blacks on average have a five-year shorter life expectancy than whites. Democrats are crying loudly for an increase in the minimum wage, yet the Democrats, using bogus excuses, blocked the minimum wage bill passed by House Republicans in 2006. Democrats are more interested in keeping the minimum issue alive as a political hammer than they are in making life better for poor black people.

good quote pertaining to the topic
History is not going to be kind to liberals. With their mindless programs, they've managed to do to Black Americans what slavery, Reconstruction, and rank racism found impossible: destroy their family and work ethic.
-
That is a very impressive article. Makes a lot of sense.
There are fringes of the republican party that are racist...I think the democrats have used that to paint a larger % of republicans as racist.
There is no doubt that democrats are the ones that put more people into categories and keep them in their current situation with entitlements & handouts (which has not helped most minorities to elevate themselves). Teaching hard work, character, work ethic and family/support systems produce successful people, not handouts.
If the repubs were smart, they'd specifically reach out more to conservative or independent minded blacks and hispanics over the next 3 yrs.
-
Its truly a crime what has occurred.
The govt has done everything to encourage this situation.
-
I think many liberals mean well but don't recognize the harm they have actually caused. I'm surprised this whole idea doesn't come up more in discussions.
-
with my minds eye...i see a liberal i see a govt approved panhandler :-\
i want free this....free that....i'm a minority..i want special treatment when applying into schools...i want free healthcare....your kid got a 100 on a test..well i want my kid to have 30 of those points cause mine is too stupid to pass on his own :-\
please o please treat me like a retard cause quitepossibly i might be....hense i have special needs
pathetic

It was all intentional.

It is like the parent that keeps bailing their kid out of jail. Sometimes you gotta let them rot.
-
o btw...may i ALSO point out that most liberals r white :-\

Being a baby boomer, I felt being black I was supposed to believe in the democratic way but being catholic and business minded person, I have been republican from age 13 to present. I like Obama for the fact he is the first "brotha" in da house, but its more great seeing him face the same problems George Bush's son had faced.

good post

great post toxic , its the truth
-
Probably for many liberal politicians kaje but there are also some feel good libs who really want to help minorities because they feel sorry for them or because of the history of institutional racism. The problem is they don't see how giving handouts and entitlements has never been a significant factor in changing economic/social situation. It encourages living off the system without bettering yourself, having pride, good work ethic and teaching that to one's children.
Everyone (except the truely handicapped or sick) needs to work for what they get. Even with assistance programs, people should be forced to work. Everyone should pay some % of taxes too, so they have skin in the game when the gov makes decisions with tax dollars.

I have Korean & Indian neighbors who also bust their asses and never complain.
They have not been injected with the liberal poison from birth and would be ashamed to ever take welfare.

My friends works in drugs sales and last night he was telling me the scams that are done with medicaid and welfare. He was telling me that these welfare queens coach their kids to fake certain illnesses to ger "scrips" and then they sell them on the street on our dime!

Good posts Toxic, I agree.

Keeping minorities dependent upon the Govt. eliminates competition. Welfare pretty much destroyed the black family structure and will eventually do the same to whites. Problem with stopping it is the industry itself makes a lot of money and creates jobs.
Another ugly aspect to their plan boils down to enlightened self interest. People with an actual reason for going to work need relative safety and social programs for non workers provide that.
Welfare pays substantially more than minimum wage. There's really no point in trying to make people that poor work because the American dream really doesn't exist for them anyways.

did you know certain resturants like applebees and some fridays actually accept welfare cards :-\
a dood that works at the SAME liquor store...who has a job...uses his welfare card often to get food from applebees >:(

fine doc...give em welfare...just DONT MAKE ME PAY FOR IT mang...
for every yr of welfare someone gets..they should HAVE TO serve 1 yr in the military
-
We both agree that welfare and other entitlement programs don't improve economic situations as a whole. If folks on assistance don't work they should be obligated to do something. We have to teach values, work ethic and self-pride. Creating a large dependent subsection of the population is very counterproductive.
Kaje, why don't more blacks think like you? I have talked to some that do but the majority seem to be caught up in the reality and path that has been created by the liberals.
-

If you didn't pay it wouldn't be safe enough to leave the house for work. See the problem?!
Also, Welfare lets those in the majority and wealthy immigrants feel superior to certain minorities. Messed up as it is... the system actually works. It's designed to keep poor people poor but not to such an extent that social order cannot be maintained without having a police state. Why else would welfare pay more than minimum wage? :)
The real problem? People are willing to believe only used black/hispanic girls with multiple baby-daddys are costing them money. :)
Only around 13% of the population is black but no one wants to admit all that money can't just be going to them. Eventually all the damage done to black families through welfare will happen to whites and maybe then people will finally admit the whole idea was bad.
The stat you have to watch is teen pregnancy rates in rural areas. In 1950 Harlem's teen pregnancy rate was around 15% by late 80s it was almost 86%.
* Certain = black. Just so there's no confusion. :)

Good post!

If you look at families that have been on long term assistance programs, despite their race, they develop maladaptive patterns so IMO, the system is broken. Blacks have a higher rate of entitlement/assistance use but once the pattern starts in any race, it seems hard to break.
I don't speak of temporary assistance. In some cases food stamps are given to military families and I believe kids going through education can also apply for them.
-

blacks and whites are equally to blame for welfare...watch brownies also join the group once they learn the system >:(
as for safe enough to leave the house...good point...BUT even more reason NOT to legalise ANY illegal immigrants..then we add to the amount of social fucksups we have to pay to not commit crimes...i mean thats ridiculous even as its probably true
here is a thought...legalize drugs...and make othercrime more severely punishable
The real problem? People are willing to believe only used black/hispanic girls with multiple baby-daddys are costing them money.
doc its not people with $ that you see waiting in long lines in emergency rooms...its more than $..and when did it become ok for someone to steal $ from me whether be it 20 cents or $2000... :-\ so stealing 20 cents is A-ok? slippery slope there mang
is this in line a more cultivated version of pakistan ???...where rich people regularly get phone calls from local thugs " pay us so and so amount of $ or we'll kidnap your kids or we'll rape your wife " etc etc...then what difference is there between America and pakistan where we preemptively pay people not to commit crimes :-\ at least in pakistan i can choose NOT to pay and shoot those fuckers instead >:(

If a republican botched up historical facts like Sen. Reid did, they'd be lambasted by the MSM!!!!! This is pure, unmitigated CRAP that the Democratic party is pushing!
Reid: No Slave to the Facts
frc.org (http://frc.org)
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wants his colleagues to be on the right side of history, but there's just one problem. He doesn't seem to know any of it! Yesterday, the Senate Majority Leader became the front-runner for the most absurd quote of the health care debate. (Sen. Barbara Boxer of California finished a close second for suggesting that there's no difference between funding abortion and Viagra. Last time I checked, Viagra didn't end human lives--but apparently that's beside the point.) Sen. Reid bested Boxer, though, when he stood on the Senate floor and compared health care opponents to the old supporters of slavery. "Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Republicans can come up with is this: slow down, stop everything, let's start over," Reid said. "If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said slow down, it's too early, let's wait, things aren't bad enough."
Today, his office may have defended those remarks, but what they cannot defend is Sen. Reid's distortion of the facts. It was his party--not the GOP--who stood in the way of American freedom. Every vote against the Thirteenth Amendment to free the slaves was cast by a Democrat. Every vote against Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation was cast by a Democrat. In 1922, when Republicans tried to outlaw lynching, Senate Democrats filibustered the bill until it died and continued filibustering against it until it was approved in 1957. When the great Civil Rights Act of 1964 finally passed, Republicans in the Senate backed it 23-6, but Democrats in the majority approved by only 44-23. Without the Republican Party, it wouldn't have become the law of the land.
Sen. Reid isn't making history--he's making it up! If his party shows this much disregard for the past, then Americans should be terribly worried about their future. When the Majority Leader is willing to rewrite history to score cheap political points, how can we trust him with something as vital as health care? How can we be sure that he's telling the truth on the H.R. 3590? We can't. Until then, I have a suggestion. Senators who want to be on the right side of history can start by supporting innocent human life. If anyone deserves to be freed, it's U.S. taxpayers who want no part of abortion's bloody business.

yeah..thanks for confirming what i said.
if you think it has little do with race then you should get your eyes checked...in any other democratic race a woman like hillary clinton would have walked away with the democratic nod...instead a black man with little experience..and not much on original ideas gets the nod and is treated like a messiah--by the liberal WHITE media...the white guilt was so bad it trumped the idea of ''the first female president'' dream.

I'm always impressed by Blacks who are able to think for themselves and not automatically follow suit with the rest. I saw a gathering of Black conservatives on TV the other night, and they seemed as a collective ,to be very intelligent, well spoken and well informed. As opposed to the stereotypical types moaning in unintelligable jibberish on "the white man keepin dem down" and "Obama goings to pays my bills." Of course if you're black and you're articulate, have a good job and did well in school, you're probably an outcast in your community.

I would say that would depend quite heavily upon the community within which one lives wouldn't it?
Articulate, intelligent people as a rule would not reside in a community that does not share it's values.

Michael Fauntroy, a prof at George Mason U was on Cspan this past Sun talking about this. Fact of the matter is. Repubs don't present a good open arms policy to black folk. Like they only want you to season the pot...and you are the stew.
There really needs to be a break down of all the parties into smaller ones that rep the diff mindsets and platforms of thes parties. For instance a Conservative Party, a Welfare Party, a Liberal Party, a Rainbow Party ( you know what that is).

Hillary Clinton is a very polarizing person.
I'll go a step further and say she's responsible for Barack Obama becoming president. A pure attention whore that couldn't tolerate staying out of the limelight 1 year and running for the Ill. seat. Instead she ran for New york, left a vacant seat and the rest is history. :)
If you right-wingers want to be mad at someone turn your anger towards her and the political management team.

that's a stretch...she didn't run for an Illinois seat because her husband had his office in Harlem...and she made her home in New York.

No, and that's a idiotic thing you said. The two party system is crap, useless and outdated. Both parties cannot accommodate all the diff platfoms and mindsets. Many of these need to splinter off and form their own parties, ala the Brits and Italians...who btw are far more passionate about politics than braindead Americans are.
Within this format even your North Star, Palin, can have all the attention she wants, and nobody can say that she is being ignored.

Let me ask you a question, what message do you believe the GOP, or some other party can offer to blacks that might sway them from the Dems?

I hate the 2 party system more than anyone but looks like that's not changing anytime soon.
Middle and upper class blacks have 2 good reasons to not vote democratic...1. Taxes (particularly if they own a business) 2. Personal freedoms.

MARYLAND DEMOCRAT APOLOGIZES FOR ALLEGEDLY CALLING COUNTY A ‘N***** DISTRICT’
Daily caller ^ | 2/26/19 | Henry Rodgers
Posted on 2/27/2019, 4:41:02 AM by DeathBeforeDishonor1
A Maryland Democratic lawmaker apologized to the state’s Legislative Black Caucus Monday after calling a district in Prince George’s County a “n***** district.”
Del. Mary Ann Lisanti, who is white, was approached by the caucus regarding her alleged remarks Monday night, after news broke that Lisanti had said the racial slur at a cigar bar in Annapolis, Maryland, while speaking to a colleague, who was also white, after work late one night.
“She apologized several times,” Barnes, a Democrat, said. “She recognizes how she has hurt so many within the caucus, and she hoped to repent from this. She said that she doesn’t remember fully what happened, but she recognizes what happened.”
“I do think that someone who uses the word, it’s a reflection of what’s in their heart,” Barnes said.
Lisanti was reportedly questioned about the use of the racial slur in early February. She denied ever using the word but also said she did not remember much of that night. Lisanti also said she is sure she has used the racial slur before in her life.
“I don’t recall that. … I don’t recall much of that evening,” Lisanti said to The Washington Post. She was also asked if she had ever used the racial slur before. “I’m sure I have. … I’m sure everyone has used it. I’ve used the f-word. I used the Lord’s name in vain,” she said.
The Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland chair, Del. Darryl Barnes, said Lisanti apologized multiple times but also added he thinks anyone who uses the word is “a reflection of what’s in their heart,” The Washington Post reported.
