The Democrat Party is founded on racism. And they have conditioned their Black people to think like them. That is to say, the Democrats have made Black people racists against themselves. Black people have succumbed to the idea that they can only survive and succeed with help from the Democrats. They have bought into the Democrat idea that they cannot make it on their own.
Affirmative Action, a Democrat program, is institutionalized racism. Affirmative Action is essentially declaring that it is impossible for Black people to compete with other races on a level playing field. It is saying that without a forced advantage Black people will always fail. Oh, oh, but, but of course, it is not their fault. This 'advantage' does nothing but make the situation worse for the Black community. Because it trains them that they do not have to perform, or struggle, like the rest of us do, to succeed. They simply have to 'be Black', and that is all that is expected from them. This is a pernicious and very destructive force in the Black community. It destroys their self-worth and self-esteem, and makes them believe that the rules of society do not apply to them. They are different. They are a separate category of human being. Which is exactly what the Democrat Party has always believed, and still does today.
When you compare Black people with any other race in America, Blacks are always very far behind. They will say that this is because of White racism. Racism doesn't explain why Africa is the shithole of the world. Racism doesn't explain why Asian Americans have the highest average income, even more than most White people. Racism doesn't explain why Black people are killing, raping, and robbing other Black people more than any other race. Racism doesn't explain why Hispanics are the fastest rising minority in America in terms of wealth and education.
Until the American Black community stops calling themselves 'African' (technically, we are all from Africa), and has enough strength to #WalkAway from the Democrat shackles, nothing will ever change. Many American Black people are strong and intelligent. But they cannot realize their potential because the Democrats will not allow them to. The very last thing the Democrats want is a healthy, prosperous, content Black community. The Democrats want Black people to remain poor, hungry, and angry, so they can control them, while blaming all of their problems on mythical Republican White supremacists the whole time.
Democrats have always been the Party of racism. And they are today. Part of the Leftist violence we are currently experiencing is because American Blacks are starting to open their eyes. They see that over half a dozen decades, the Democrats have done nothing to actually help them in a real, and substantive long term way. The fact that so many Blacks are seeing the Democrats for what they really are, is equivalent to a slave learning how to read. This is intolerable to the Democrat slave owners. That is what they are fighting so hard to prevent. The last thing a slave owner wants is an intelligent independent slave. And they will do anything, no matter how violent, to keep their slaves from learning how to read. They are not used to this and it is frightening them.
