Redstate to Black Americans: Leave the Democrats, they're holding your children down

[HopeOverFear]

Dear American Blacks:

Sometimes the very best act of friendship I could do is tell you that the person you think is your best friend actually works against you behind your back, laughing at you, mocking your hardships, secure in the knowledge that you need him too much to ever leave him.

Sometimes — no, actually always — the true friend is the one who tells you what you don’t want to hear. The one who does not indulge you, the one who will neither promise you nor give you candy and other bennies. Instead he tells you to sit down and eat your green beans and spinach — and if you want that nice car, then quit whining, get an education, earn a good job, and earn that nice car.

The really ironic thing is that the slick, good-time “friend” will tell you what a jerk your true friend is. And you will believe him. You will believe him, that is, until you grow up, or until your good-time friend sells you up the river so far that your life is wrecked, and your future is ruined. Your wisdom will have been gained at a steep price.

But your true friend will still be there. And eating your green beans, securing an education, and working hard are still the path to success.


American Blacks, the Democratic Party is that good-time, lying, back-stabbing excuse for a “friend”. The DC Voucher story is an illustration — hardly a unique story — of how Democrats continually seek to set you up as a permanent underclass, so that you’ll depend on them to throw you scraps and believe their lies, in order to secure your votes to keep them in power.
(snip)
I ask you to consider, why is it that you hate Republicans so much? This DC School Voucher was brought in 2004 by Republicans at the request of a Democratic mayor who desperately cared about the future of DC students. It was killed in 2009 by Democrats for reasons that appear cynical and political.

Republicans do not know how to approach you. Democrats and the Democrat-dominated press have misled you and stoked up your wrath to the point that you will not listen to us.

So I propose this: how about listening? How about listening to what Republicans have to say, instead of what the Democrats say we say? How about listening to what we have to say before booing us out of the building?

(That's all fine and good, redstate, but first you have to have something to say. Dumbasses.) :eyes:

1. African-Americans to Redstate......

Kiss our collective Black Asses!

(although I only speak for myself, I'm sure a majority share my sentiment!)

[Hutzpa]

3. Ditto

Imagine the fuckin nerve.....:grr: :grr:

[HopeOverFear]

5. You gotta read the whole thing. This part is gold.

It’s tough love, but I assure you, friend, it’s love. That’s why we fought like hell to restore the DC School Vouchers. That’s why we fought like hell to lower taxes on businesses, so employers could hire more people and create more success for everybody.

We received not one ounce of gratitude from you, but we did it anyway. (I is so sorry, Boss Man. I's be mo grateful next time.) :rofl: And we will continue to do what is right for America, for whites, for blacks, for Latinos, for Republicans, for Democrats, for today, and for the future.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

13. African-Americans to Redstate...

We are not silly, "steppinfetchin'" self-hating, slave-mentality herd that you friend Mike Steele is. We are bright, intelligent people.

PLEASE STOP INSULTING OUR INTELLIGENCE!!

...oh, and by the way, KISS OUR COLLECTIVE BLACK ASSES...TWICE!!!!!!!

[roguevalley]

18. American Blacks. Right there you can see they could give a rip.

dumbasses.

[alsame]

19. They can also

kiss my white ass.

[Solomon]

48. LOL

Fucking A :rofl:

[CitizenLeft]

22. I sure as hell do.

(share your sentiment, that is).

Crimony.

[vaberella]

46. Aye! Aye! Black people are just too raw!! n/t

[ecstatic]

2. Listen to who? Rush? Bachman? Buchanan? Hannity?

:shrug:

[Zynx]

4. Well, that wasn't condescending or anything.

Their racism really shows here. The funny thing is their racism is so severe that they think blacks are too ignorant to know that the Republicans are a bunch of racists. That's why the keep only getting 5% of the black vote.

[Raineyb]

14. Really! It was quite the nauseating combination of idiocy and condsecension

I thought I wouldn't have to deal with after the Shrub left the White House. Usually it's just one or the other but both? :puke:

Regards

[bullwinkle428]

6. Same song they've been singing for years. Did they

also manage to insert the expression "race pimps" somewhere in the screed, in reference to various leaders throughout the AA community? Yeah, nothing subtly racist about that.

[DrToast]

7. Always the victim...

So I propose this: how about listening? How about listening to what Republicans have to say, instead of what the Democrats say we say? How about listening to what we have to say before booing us out of the building?

Nothing is ever their fault with these guys, huh?

[wileedog]

15. What are they going to say that will be so compelling?

"We're going to cut rich white guy taxes, siphon the money to large corporations in offshore tax havens and make sure those gays can't get married . That will help your children! Honest!!"

[butterfly77]

39. Do they really think...

that blacks have not been watching and listening for all they years? These people are really,really,really D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E!

[Aloha Spirit]

8. Maybe if the Republicans wanted DC to have congressional representation, this

wouldn't be so sad.

[Cha]

9. So this is what Desperation

smells like? Cornered rancid rats squeaking "school vouchers" "school vouchers":freak: Stupid assholes forgot Prez Obama is the champion for education and the repubicons want to keep everyone dumbed down.

[graywarrior]

10. They know a thing or two about deliberately holding people down

[RubyDuby in GA]

11. Ah Redstate. The sad little website owned by the total asswipe that brought you this:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aewerickson%20molester

Yes, he called retiring SCOTUS Souter a "goat f*&king child molester" (http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/red-states-erik-erickson-writes-judge-s)

He also runs a local statewide blog in GA called Peach Pundit that discussed it here where he brags about using the only weapon in the GOP playbook - obstructionism http://www.peachpundit.com/2009/05/04/epic-win/

Erick Erickson is a total dick and a waste of space. And he's on the Macon City Council! He also calls for anyone not standing behind Sarah Palin to get out of the GOP. The crazies (and he is working hard to put himself up there with Rush and Boortz, et al) are totally coming unhinged. It's awesome.

[Occam Bandage]

12. Sure. Let everyone listen to exactly what the Republicans have to say.

Nothing drives them towards us faster.

[Vinca]

16. All the Republicans say is "no." They never offer alternative solutions,

they never give anything other than a direct opposite opinion (even when it comes to ketchup and mustard). Why should anyone of any color waste their time with people who have a party based on whining?

[TheKentuckian]

17. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!

They can smooch up to the ole high yella arse.

[CTLawGuy]

20. Dear Republicans

Want to know why blacks don't vote for you?

Maybe it's because you've spent the past 40 YEARS chasing and cultivating the votes of white southerners, the very people who have spent the past 100+ years fighting tooth and nail against black equality.

Maybe it's because you tell those white southerners that you believe in "state's rights" which they KNOW means "the right to not have to treat the 'Neeeegroes' as equals"

Maybe it's because your solution to every problem is to give tax cuts to the very wealthy, few of whom are black, and hope that they piss prosperity on everyone else.

Maybe it's because you welcome hate mongers like Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott, and Jeff Sessions into your party with open arms.

May-be!

[Number23]

21. Ha!

"Republicans do not know how to approach you. Democrats and the Democrat-dominated press have misled you and stoked up your wrath to the point that you will not listen to us."

Get the FUCK out of here. Black folks, don't you just love it when people act as though we simply just MISUNDERSTOOD something. That we are all so stupid and easily mislead that if our enemies just come up with their own version of history, we'll fall for it?? "No, no! All of the racism coming from the Republican party for the last 60 years was just in your head! It was somebody else! We're innocent!!"

"Republicans stand, as much as anything, for equality of freedom, equality of opportunity. We do NOT stand for equality of outcome. Hard work is rewarded, laziness is not."

Wooooohahahahaha!!! Oh wait, he's not serious is he?? More importantly, he doesn't expect us to TAKE him seriously, does he??

And his little snide BS about
"Want special treatment? Tough.
Want the opportunity to escape poverty, crime, and poor schools? Then quit voting for the Democrats that put you there." get him one of these from #23 --

[firedupdem]

23. +1000000....

I cannot believe that ridiculous bullshit!

[Number23]

27. Like I've said before

It must really piss some folks OFF that black people are not nearly as stupid and as blind as they presume and desperately want us to be.

The unmitigated gall of this jackass is just amazing. I must put this in AAIG! :)

[HopeOverFear]

24. rofl

[BlooInBloo]

25. Oh those wascaly bigot wabbits.

:rofl:

[traxster]

26. Wow...so they assume all blacks are in poverty, stupid and lazy?

Oh yeah...I'm listening. And I hear what I always here from republicans which is why they will never get my vote.

[elshiva]

28. Dear Redstate:

[agentS]

29. What a condescending a-hole this E Pluribus Unum is!

Oh yeah- like I'm gonna listen to this schmuck tell me I don't deserve special treatment when he and his butt-buddies whine and moan about the 10
commandments not being in schools or about gun control laws that haven't even been written yet.

The comments are even more tasteless. I could go on and on, but why should I?
President Obama. There's my answer right there.
What is YOUR answer, RedState? Michael Steele? Sarah Palin?

[Fleshdancer]

30. "Republicans do not know how to approach you"

"Democrats and the Democrat-dominated press have misled you and stoked up your wrath to the point that you will not listen to us."


Can't you African-American types understand? You are all just soooo gullible and weak minded that the Democrats have convinced you to not listen to us. It's YOUR fault we friendly republicans don't know how to approach you so we can tell you all to get a job in order to buy a nice car.

:sarcasm:

With "friends" like the republicans, who needs enemies?

[traxster]

34. That part REALLY grated me!!!! n/t

[Aragorn]

31. what fun it is

to pick on a very extremist post and act as if it is accurately representative of all repubs. And to point out the severely racist positions of a lot of repubs. But the dems are only better bny comparison, and a lot of the specific things mentioned in comments section are things both corporate-controlled parties are complicit in.

Voters cannot get trapped into 2 party ideology, or we continue to be stuck with the "lesser of 2 evils" outcome. Being less racist, as in this issue, is not the same as treating all people fairly and equally.

Lastly, a semantic point. Why do folks continue to speak of multiple races. There is only one race of humans. This term is destructive, IMO, in any context.

32. It's so stupid it's laughable

whines from the party that has used racism and scapegoating black people as campaign platforms for decades. Now, they have the unmitigated gall to wonder why black people won't listen to them. Add to that the ignorant and disgusting follow-on comments. :eyes:

They can go eat shit and die! :grr:

[fishwax]

33. filth

:puke:

[Willo]

36. This reminds me of the "Blacks Don't Read" email

that pops up from time to time. I find both are impossible to take seriously.

[ej510]

37. They can watch my black ass walk away!

[ItNerd4life]

38. Why is this program being killed?

Everything that I read said that the people in the program loved it and that the other schools started to show improvements because
there was competition.

If the Republicans are the party of 'NO', then why are Democrats saying 'NO' to this solution that the black community wanted?

The people in the program are furious it's being killed. Doesn't that say that the program was successful, so why kill it?

Can someone explain why the program is being killed and have stats to back up that it wasn't successful?

[butterfly77]

41. Because they are full of shit!

will it help all black children and why do black children have to have a special program just to learn?and yes I understand all of the little nuances that people love to spell out about the black community and why it is so hard to learn. The republiCONS are full of shit!

[Luminous Animal]

42. Because statistical analysis does not bear out

the hype. You can download the full report and summary here:

http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/pubs/20094050/

[ItNerd4life]

43. In 3 years, reading went up significantly, how is that not successful?

If you read the results (thank you for the link) It's only been 3 years and reading scores improved. Math stayed the same.
They don't talk about history, science, art, etc. so I have to question how well the study was conducted.

But the parents liked it and said it was a much better environment. (the kids opinions didn't, but I would listen to parent over kids)

In 3 years, a program just in it's infancy shows positive results, you don't kill a program like that!

[Luminous Animal]

44. In 3 years for some of the children..

were 3 months ahead of their non-voucher peers. Rather than funding religious instruction and schools that are having trouble with special needs children AND those who other children who need help the most, the district should adapt the methods that produced the 3 month advantage and make it available to all the children in the district.

[sarah553807]

40. NOW they want to hear the african american communities opinion

why don't you guys just stick to bitching about mustard

[windy252]

45. I am

white myself, but it has to be said: the GOP might have had more luck if there was not an issue with them trying to suppresing votes every cycle, i.e. caging lists, vote challengers only in minority areas, etc.

[vaberella]

47. Lordy...its tough being Black. n/t

[old mark]

49. Redstate: You may have noticed our President is a Black man who is

also a Democrat.

[livefreest]

50. why in the world didn't this person sign their name?

such beautiful sentiments in the article. why won't they just say their name?:shrug:
