NO, NO my far left Progressive good friend 2seaoat has a good point here.
Here is why, 2seaoat has a good point. Primarily because Progressives cannot see anything else. Their philosophy collapses if there is not tension and strain between all the different pigeon holes Democrats depend on for their very existence.
For decades, at least back to President Lyndon Baines Johnson Democrats have pigeon holed all minorities. They then research the needs and weaknesses of each group. They develop their strategy to coincide with the specific groups needs. Democrat Elites then convince these groups that they are not good enough to succeed without the handouts, quotas or affirmative action. In this way they steal the self esteem, self respect and very soul of the people they claim to want to help.
Once they have them on public assistance, welfare, rent subsistence, medicaid, food stamps, free breakfast for their kids in school, free lunch, free education (did you know there is a district starting to offer free dinner?) they are told that if they vote Republican, they would die of starvation, disease, dirty water and dirty air. Could you please tell me how this is any different than the old Southern Plantations with the master and the slaves? The black family unit was one of the strongest in America prior to the Johnson plan for a "Great Society". Now it is one of the weakest and accounts for the vast majority of minorities living below the poverty level. Fifty years under Democrat control and we have the same poverty level we had when the War on Welfare was started by Johnson.
Republicans and Conservatives don't see people in pigeon holes or worth any less than themselves. They see all Americans as being equal. Each and everyone one fully capable of being as successful as anyone else. All they need is for government to keep the peace and allow them to go about their business.
Is there racism and prejudice? Sure, there has been since the beginning of man on earth and will be until we are gone. Get over it. So long as you see a glass as half empty, it is. President Barack Hussein Obama has openly stated his own racism, need we mention an associate of Obama's the Rev. Wright and Minister Louis Farrakhan and do they get any more blatant than Al Sharpton? Would any of these race baiters be where they are if they were not constantly stirring up trouble between the races? Without trouble, they are unnecessary.
