Racism, The Tool of the Democratic Party

            "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its                                                  victims may be the most oppressive." -- C.S. Lewis”

         It was tough to watch the Democratic National Convention's blatant use of racism to push forward their platform and candidates. The narrative was one of of eternal White Racism. They embellished the Socialist and Communist funded Black Lives Matter movement, with its central claim that police around the country are hunting and killing innocent black men, which is based on a lie, but then, the entire Democratic party is based on lies. 

      They continue to claim that they are for the poor and working class. This isn't so because they aren’t who you think they are. The Democrats are a class party; it’s just that the class in question is not the one we think it is. It’s not working people, you know, middle class. It’s the professional class. It’s people with advanced degrees. The one-time party of the working class has been co-opted by a hyper-educated elite. These elite feel immune to criticism and are empowered by their peers that run our a racially divisive liberal media establishment, and they are affirmed by their Leftist academics who rarely live in the real world. 

     The left has been supplying both victimhood and lies to black America. The lies are that America is a racist society -- as the president of the United States himself has said, racism is "still part of (America's) DNA" -- that the greatest problem facing young blacks is racism, and that white (and even black) police routinely kill blacks for no reason other than racism. Another lie.

      Using racism as a political weapon they

have recklessly created an imaginary America, where society is far more racist today than during the Civil Rights Era. They’re silent when flashmobs of black violence terrorize white victims. White victims that aren't them. The Democratic position is that only whites can be racist, because only the powerful can be racist, and whites have all the power. Their campaign continues fomenting of anti-white hatred among black Americans and the nurturing of white guilt among their followers.

     They claim that "only following their policies and ideals will bring America back to what it once was." The problem with that statement is that it is also, a lie. Barack Obama is the most partisan president in our life time and he seems to understand almost instinctively that racial polarization is essential to the Democratic Party’s electoral strategy. Division does not serve the interests of the country, or the interests of a divided people. It only serves the political interests of the Democratic party. They promote division along racial and class lines and this continues to drive Americans  apart at a time when we desperately need to come together.
