So the lies have worked on you.
Democrats fought against the Civil Rights movement at it's inception. If it weren't for the GOP it may never had become a reality.
Who signed the Emancipation Proclamation?
A Republican.
Somehow the Dems have used various wedge-issues to co-opt the minority vote. All they have to do is propose a new law that favors a particular race or class over everyone else, something that is obviously unfair, and the person who fights against it is branded a racist.
Best way to get a group on your side is give them something they normally wouldn't get or normally shouldn't get....like putting them first in line for jobs or favor them over whites when it comes to acceptance in colleges. How about special grants that favor them over "rich" white applicants. That's most likely how Obama got his education. His family isn't rich but somehow he got into Harvard.
Personally, I'm not inclined to beat the Dems or the GOP for historic actions.... I am more interested in what they do now than who did what to whom in the past.... we need to learn from history but not use it as a weapon.
Having said that, I find the Dems attitude towards minorities to be a major part of the problem with racism. They pander to minorities, treating them as 'special' and constantly remind them how hard done by they have been. Well, yea, they have been. But they aren't now. We really must stop using race as a weapon, we need to treat people equally - give everyone the same opportunities. What individuals choose to do with that opportunity is up to them. No one should succeed or fail on their skin color, religion or anything else.
It is, mainly, the left that single out minorities as a cause. They should stop. They should stop playing the race card for political gain and stop manipulating minorities.
I'm merely pointing out a pattern that has worked for them for over 50 years
I know, and I agree with you, but.... we need to look at the here and now.... that is what is important... the Dems should stop using race as a scare tactic. It is disgusting... and it is condescending to minorities.
