Wanna Be Black????

.....and a Democrat??/


1. "Affirmative Action" was seminal both for the nation, and for black Americans.
It was one of those events that can only be described by the cliché "seemed like a good idea at the time."
Seminal: having a strong influence on ideas, works, events, etc., that come later : very important and influential
Seminal Definition of seminal by Merriam-Webster
....but not, necessarily good or bad.


Lyndon Johnson, speaking at Howard University, in June of 1965, made the succinct and unassailable argument in favor of Affirmative Action, as follows:

"You do not take a man who for years has been hobbled by chains, liberate him, bring him to the starting line of a race, saying, "you are free to compete with all the others," and still justly believe you have been completely fair... This is the next and more profound stage of the battle for civil rights. We seek not just freedom but opportunity—not just legal equity but human ability—not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and as a result."





2. Of course, by way of hindsight, the following applies as well:
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
H. L. Mencken

3.While fully aware of the danger of gilding that lily, and having studied LBJ's political history, I don't believe for a moment that he did it to benefit black Americans

a. " Prior to 1957, LBJ “had never supported civil rights legislation- any civil rights legislation. In the Senate and House alike, his record was an unbroken one of votes against every civil rights bill that had ever come to a vote: against voting rights bills; against bills that would have struck at job discrimination and at segregation in other areas of American life; even against bills that would have protected blacks from lynching.” Robert Caro, “Master of the Senate: The Years of Lyndon Johnson, vol.3,” p. xv.



".... even against bills that would have protected blacks from lynching.”


5. Of course, this is pretty much de rigueur for the Democrat Party:

a. Franklin Roosevelt's very first appointee to the Supreme Court was prominent Ku Klux Klan member Hugo Black,"... Black was head of new members for the largest Klan cell in the South. New members of the KKK had to pledge their allegiance to the “eternal separation of Church and State.”... Separation was a crucial part of the KKK’s jurisprudential agenda. It was included in the Klansman’s Creed..." http://egnorance.blogspot.com/2011/10/hugo-black-and-real-history-of-wall-of.html]

b. And Bill Clinton, the most popular Democrat, said this about Obama: "Bill Clinton on Obama: 'A Few Years Ago, This Guy Would Have Been Carrying Our Bags'" Bill Clinton on Obama A Few Years Ago This Guy Would Have Been Carrying Our Bags The Weekly Standard


There ya' go: Democrats.....standin' up for the black man!

We don't need affirmative action in any at-will employment State.

In your own words.

And, I point out, via experience.....it, as is true of so very many Liberal endeavors....has been a terrible flop.



Let's remind all:
1) Liberals are impulsive, and imprudent. They believe in quick changes, and risk new abuses worse than the ‘evils’ that they would sweep away, since remedies are usually not simple. Plato said that prudence is the mark of the statesman. There should be a balance between permanence and change, while liberals see ‘progress’ as some mythical direction for society.
It's brilliant, huh?


2." It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived."

That's not what I asked nor is it in your own words.

Double fail.

 

[NYcarbineer]

a. In 2005, the Democrats did not name Donna Brazile, who is black, to head the Democratic National Committee. They chose Howard Dean....white.


.

Howard Dean was much better qualified, and in fact proved his talent with the success of the 50 state strategy and the 2006 Democratic landslide.

NOW you are trying to criticize the Democrats for having chosen the best qualified person for the job, regardless of race or gender?

Make up (what passes for) your mind.

Howard Dean.....white

Donna Brazile....black




Let's remind all of the Democrat's commitment to advancing black Americans:

Remember Mark Lloyd, who was chosen by President Obama as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Chief Diversity Officer, a.k.a. the Diversity Czar?
"This... there's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem.

We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power."
Audio FCC s Diversity Czar White People Need to be Forced to Step Down So Someone Else Can Have Power



You make this soooooo darn easy!

You try to manufacture an argument premised on the Democrats having been wrong if they selected Brazile,

and wrong if they selected Dean.

That is called a heads I win tails you lose fallacy.

I didn't say it.....a Democrat totalitarian said it.

I asked him how he got to be the way he was. He said, “What do you mean?” I said, “Well, here you are, calling senators, twisting their arms, threatening them, cajoling them, trying to line up votes for the Civil Rights Bill when your own record on civil rights was not a good one before you became Vice President. So what accounted for the change?” Johnson thought for a moment and wrinkled his brow and then said, “Well, I’ll answer that by quoting a good friend of yours and you will recognize the quote instantly. ‘Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last.’”

Fifty years of the War on Poverty, and we have more poor, and the US is ready to blow like Watts '65.

Could it be time for change?

A popular meme among retards is that the War on Poverty has had no effect. They parrot this bullshit with regularity on this forum.

So here we go again.

Who's poor in America? 50 years into the 'War on Poverty', a data portrait | Pew Research Center

Critics note that the official poverty rate, as calculated by the Census Bureau, has fallen only modestly, from 19% in 1964 to 15% in 2012 (the most recent year available). But other analysts, citing shortcomings in the official poverty measure, focus on a supplemental measure (also produced by the Census Bureau) to argue that more progress has been made. A team of researchers from Columbia University, for example, calculated an "anchored" supplemental measure - essentially the 2012 measure carried back through time and adjusted for historical inflation - and found that it fell from about 26% in 1967 to 16% in 2012.

Far fewer elderly are poor: In 1966, 28.5% of Americans ages 65 and over were poor; by 2012 just 9.1% were.

http://media.jsonline.com/documents/Medicare2000.pdf

. In 1964, nearly half of all seniors were
uninsured, making the elderly among the least likely Americans
to have health insurance. Today, with 97 percent of seniors
covered by Medicare, the elderly are the most likely to have
insurance.

More bad news for you, longknife, from the same link I posted above:

Poverty among blacks has fallen sharply: In 1966, two years after Johnson’s speech, four-in-ten (41.8%) of African-Americans were poor; blacks constituted nearly a third (31.1%) of all poor Americans. By 2012, poverty among African-Americans had fallen to 27.2% — still more than double the rate among whites (12.7%, 1.4 percentage points higher than in 1966).

Ain't that a bitch?

 

[PoliticalChic]

Using some kind of mass hypnosis, or voodoo, the Democrats have managed to convince lots of folks that mean, racist, non-Democrats badies... are out to do them harm!


Well....they didn't convince everyone:


6. " Robert Woodson, the founder and president of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise [and black citizen]: "You always have to begin with a solution in mind," Woodson told CSPAN Tuesday morning in a discussion on poverty. "I tell people, what is your solution? If all whites tomorrow were to move to Canada and Europe, tell me how it would affect the black on black crime rate, how would it it affect the out-of-wedlock births, how would it affect the spread of AIDS? How would it affect those issues?" he asked.

"What I'm saying to Black America, we must stop victimizaton. We must stop complaining about what white folks have done to us in the past. We must go into ourselves, as Dr. King said, and find indelible ink -- our own emancipation proclamation."

7. Pretense, fantasy, and outright lies are part of the Democrat playbook....

Rachel Dolezal....a white woman pretending to be black
Bruce Jenner (Republican???).....a man pretending to be a woman
Barack Obama....a dilettante pretending he's capable of being President


"Democrat favorite "Fauxcahontas" Warren falsely claimed that her great-grandfather was Cherokee Indian. A diversity-starved Harvard University jumped at the opportunity to hire her. She was so good at the racial fakery that a 1997 Fordham Law Review article lauded now-Sen. Warren as Harvard Law School's "first woman of color."


Racial fakery for private gain has been going on for decades. In 1990, there was a highly publicized case of outright racial lying. Two white men, twins Philip and Paul Malone, took the Boston Fire Department test. They failed. It turned out that the Boston Fire Department was under a consent decree mandating racial preferences, back then euphemistically called affirmative action but today called diversity. The Malone brothers retook the test, this time identifying themselves as black. Again their scores weren't high enough to be hired as whites, but they qualified under the lower standards for blacks and were hired. They worked for 10 years, until their racial fakery was discovered during a promotion proceeding. They were fired.


Then there's Vijay Chokal-Ingam, brother of "The Mindy Project" actress Mindy Kaling. He pretended to be black to successfully gain admission to the Saint Louis University School of Medicine but later dropped out.

Recently, there was the case of Rachel A. Dolezal, who told everyone that she was a member of my race, even though both of her parents are white. She profited immensely from racial fakery. She became president of the Spokane, Washington, office of the NAACP and became an instructor of Africana studies at Eastern Washington University. To top that off, she gained membership on Spokane's police oversight commission, where she examined police policies on race." http://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/walter-e-williams/cure-racial-dishonesty

 

[PoliticalChic]

Ya' gotta admit that there are real and actual benefits to be derived from racialism....
Liberal control of the culture has made skin color a substitute for achievement.
Is this any different from the racism that we all abhorred in the South?


8. "To voice... realities, however, is to commit a microaggression, according to University of California diversity enforcers.

Another ....presents a long list of microaggressions, categorized by “Theme” and “Message.” The “Myth of Meritocracy” “theme” includes such statements as: “Of course he’ll get tenure, even though he hasn’t published much—he’s Black!”

Now, where would anyone get that idea?

A 2004 studyof three top-tier universities, published in Social Science Quarterly, found that blacks were favored over whites by a factor of 5.5 and that being black got students an extra 230 SAT points on a 1,600-point scale.

Such massive preferences for URMs [underrepresented minorities] are found at every selective college and graduate school. Every student knows this, and yet diversity protocol requires pretending that preferences don’t exist. "
Microaggression Macro-Crazy by Heather Mac Donald City Journal Summer 2015


I'll bet that there are even black Americans who see this as a 'gift.'
If so....they wanna be black Democrats.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

ah yes, another conservative good, liberal bad thread..

That is the generally the pattern in real life.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Post #52 suggested that there are black Americans who view their unequal treatment by Democrats as a plus.

They don't recognize the strings attached.


9. "The True Black Tragedy: Illegitimacy Rate of Nearly 75% "The True Black Tragedy: Illegitimacy Rate of Nearly 75%

And this:
Both Liberal welfare policies and Liberal propaganda ('the legacy of slavery) have persuaded large segments of the black population that they need not take the steps that lead out of poverty......rather, they cannot....and only big government programs will save them.


Here is the amazing consequence of half a century of indoctrination:

Quick Hits Page - The Rush Limbaugh Show




Democrats have deprived blacks of the pleasures of striving and succeeding.

Or....perhaps Democrats don't believe that black Americans can do either.....

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. And one more of the 'favors' that blacks owe Democrats......

The legal community, largely if not entirely, Liberal/Progressive, played a major role in wreaking havoc in the black community. Starting in the sixties, ordinary people, black and white, watched in stupefaction as liberal social reformers came in and jettisoned thousands of years of human knowledge to rewrite criminal laws and government welfare policies. Liberals living in monochromatically white suburbs or doorman buildings in the city said “Let’s try these new ideas that sound really cool, like school busing and deemphasizing prison!”

a. “In the 2008 election cycle, the industry contributed a massive $234 million to federal political candidates and interests , 76 percent of which went to Democratic candidates and committees.” Lawyers / Law Firms | OpenSecrets


b. “Trial lawyers are holding steady as one of the Democratic Party's biggest sources of campaign contributions,…” Routine Maintenance




11. Thomas Sowell, in “The Vision of the Anointed,” explained that the old view was to put criminals in prison; the new view, held by, for example, Lyndon Johnson’s attorney-general Ramsey Clark, Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, DC circuit judge David Bazelon, was to avoid sending criminals to prison and instead spend all our resources focusing on the “root causes” of crime.

The basic idea that liberal judges and politicians were pushing was that society should be nice to criminals, so they would re-pay us with law-abiding behavior.

Ramsey Clark: “" The theory of rehabilitation is based on the belief that healthy, rational people will not injure others, that they will understand that the individual and his society are best served by conduct that does not inflict injury, that a just society has the ability to provide health and purpose and opportunity for all its citizens. Rehabilitated, an individual will not have the capacity - cannot bring himself - to injure another or take or destroy property. "

1. 1. Of course, if that were true, he wouldn’t have committed crimes in the first place.
   2. Despite being insane, the reformers won out. The test of public policy vs. human nature began!
   3. Need empirical evidence? Crime rates skyrocketed. By 1974, the murder rate was over twice that of 1961. Between 1960 and 1976, a citizen’s chances of becoming a victim of a major violent crime tripled. Sowell, Op.Cit., p.27.

So..... black Americans....don't forget to thank the Democrats for their multitudinous and sundry gifts!

 

[PoliticalChic]

12. See if you can find more of the 'gifts' that the Democrats have bestowed on our black citizens:


a. DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP!

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected
a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor;

Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;

Newark, NJ (10th)… since 1907.

b. Crime Rates In Liberal Cities Shockingly Higher Than In Conservative Cities
The 15 most conservative and 15 most liberal cities are listed below, along with theirviolent crime rates

The 15 most liberal cities in the US:

- Detroit, Michigan - 24 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Gary, Indiana - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Berkeley, California - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Washington, DC - 13 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Oakland, California - 16 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Inglewood, California - 8 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Newark, New Jersey - 11 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Cambridge, Massachusetts - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents

- Baltimore, Maryland - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- New Haven, Connecticut - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents


The national average is four violent crimes/1,000 residents. Every one of the 15 most liberal cities in the US has a higher violent crime rate than the national average. Twelve of the 15 have a violent crime rate that is at least double the national average. Two of them have a violent crime rate that is six times the national average.


The 15 most conservative cities in the US:

- Provo, Utah - 2 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Lubbock, Texas - 9 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Abilene, Texas - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Hialeah, Florida - 4 violent crimes/1,000 residents

- Bakersfield, California - 6 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Lafayette, Louisiana - 8 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Orange, California - 1 violent crime/1,000 residents
- Escondido, California - 4 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Allentown, Pennsylvania - 6 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Mesa, Arizona - 4 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Arlington, Texas - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Peoria, Arizona - 2 violent crimes/1,000 residents

"Black Lives Matter organizer and Oprah scholarship recipient who was 'revealed to be white' refuses to answer questions about his race - claiming he is the victim of a 'white supremacist conspiracy'

• Shaun King, an author and writer who is one of the leading voices speaking out against police brutality on social media, has claimed he is mixed
• A report now claims he is white, citing a police report that labels him as white and claiming his parents on his birth certificate are both white
• King applied for and then accepted an Oprah scholarship to Morehouse College, which are only given to black men
• He also called the vicious attack he suffered in high school a hate crime that was motivated by race
• 'Out of LOVE for my family, I've never gone public with my racial story because it's hurtful, scandalous, and it's MY STORY,' King said in defense of these claims
• King also said he is the victim of a 'white supremacist conspiracy,' and that he will not speak on the issue of his race again "

7. Pretense, fantasy, and outright lies are part of the Democrat playbook....

Rachel Dolezal....a white woman pretending to be black
Bruce Jenner (Republican???).....a man pretending to be a woman
Barack Obama....a dilettante pretending he's capable of being President


"Democrat favorite "Fauxcahontas" Warren falsely claimed that her great-grandfather was Cherokee Indian. A diversity-starved Harvard University jumped at the opportunity to hire her. She was so good at the racial fakery that a 1997 Fordham Law Review article lauded now-Sen. Warren as Harvard Law School's "first woman of color."


Racial fakery for private gain has been going on for decades. In 1990, there was a highly publicized case of outright racial lying. Two white men, twins Philip and Paul Malone, took the Boston Fire Department test. They failed. It turned out that the Boston Fire Department was under a consent decree mandating racial preferences, back then euphemistically called affirmative action but today called diversity. The Malone brothers retook the test, this time identifying themselves as black. Again their scores weren't high enough to be hired as whites, but they qualified under the lower standards for blacks and were hired. They worked for 10 years, until their racial fakery was discovered during a promotion proceeding. They were fired.


Then there's Vijay Chokal-Ingam, brother of "The Mindy Project" actress Mindy Kaling. He pretended to be black to successfully gain admission to the Saint Louis University School of Medicine but later dropped out.

Recently, there was the case of Rachel A. Dolezal, who told everyone that she was a member of my race, even though both of her parents are white. She profited immensely from racial fakery. She became president of the Spokane, Washington, office of the NAACP and became an instructor of Africana studies at Eastern Washington University. To top that off, she gained membership on Spokane's police oversight commission, where she examined police policies on race." Cure for Racial Dishonesty

"These leftist get so caught up in their made up world."

Excellent point!

1. It's part of the corollary of "moral equivalence," known as "Postmodernism."


a. It was the attack on reason that paved the way for the rejection of rationality by postmodernism. Postmodernism is a tendency in post-World War II culture characterized by the rejection of objective truth and global cultural narrative. The term "Postmodernism" comes from its rejection of the "Modern" scientific mentality of objectivity and progress associated with the Enlightenment, as well as extending its criticism to religion.
(Breitbart)

b. Postmodernism became the orthodoxy of academia, those who considered themselves to be in the vanguard of progressive thinking. While the hallmarks of the progressives had been pursuit of liberty and optimism about progress, now cynicism about reason and democracy replaced them. Built on a repudiation of objective knowledge, postmodernism demanded that the vacuum be filled with ideology and propaganda.


2. What happened to truth?

Liberalism happened to it.


. "Remember, for Progressives, postmodern relativism is the glue that binds all of their myths."
Berezow and Campbell, "Science Left Behind."
