Black Leaders Should Focus Less on Racist Republicans like Sarah Palin and More on Racist Democrats like Harry Reid…

(ThyBlackMan.com) I really don’t care whether or not Marilyn Davenport resigns from the Orange County Central Committee for emailing a picture of President Barack Obama’s face on the body of a baby chimpanzee. I’m not a Republican, I’m not planning on joining the Republican Party anytime soon, and to be quite honest neither are the majority of the Black folks up in arms about it. In fact, I’d actually have been more offended if it’d come from a Democrat—but it didn’t. So what’s the big deal? In my opinion, Blacks have enough racists in the Democratic Party to contend with without taking on unnecessary fights with people whose candidate’s we were never going to support in the first place.

Look—it’s no secret that today’s Republican Party is no friend to Blacks, and that’s with or without Marilyn Davenport’s email. Historically, every issue of importance to Blacks you can find the Republican Party on the other side of the line. And while alleged 2012 presidential candidate Donald Trump is under the elusion that he has a good relationship with “the Blacks,” that’s not the case with his Republican Party counterparts.

Instead of Black leaders doubling their efforts to influence the decisions made my a political party that’s of no relevance or importance to the average Black voter, why not turn a discerning eye towards their own party, the Democratic Party and the unspoken racism that oozes from within?

I’m not sure which is worse. The Democrats continued assumption of the Black vote or the Republican’s refusal to even acknowledge the passage of the 15^th Amendment granting Blacks the right to vote.

Republicans are an easy target for Blacks, where’s the challenge in that? I’d rather see Black leaders asking the tough questions to our alleged political allies in the Democratic Party. It was after all Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid’s who characterized then-candidate Barack Obama’s as a “light-skinned” African-American “with no Negro dialect.

And even though she’s dead, it was one-time Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro who told the Daily Breeze Newspaper in March of 2008 that “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

And I can’t leave out my favorite racist Democrat of all—Harriet Christian, who during the 2008 presidential campaign said that “The Democrats are throwing the election away. For what? An inadequate black male, who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for president?

She might as well have called him a nigger.

So you see, the Democratic Party has its own race issues to deal with.

Besides, considering the fact that Blacks constitute less than 6% of the state’s population and electorate, it just seems to me that Black leaders would be more focused on making sure that our voices and issues are heard loud and clear by the Party we’re seemingly born into before we start interfering in others.

As far as I’m concerned I sincerely hope Marilyn Davenport doesn’t resign and holds her ground—going into the 2012 presidential race strategically speaking, that’s exactly where Democrats need her—timing, it really is everything and sometimes we really need to just take a chill pill.

Two years ago, Rev. Sharpton held a rally at the New York Post building because of one cartoon it published of a policeman shooting a dead chimp. Earlier that week, police had to shoot a chimp that badly disfigured a woman. The caption read, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”
All the Democrats chirped “racist” and all the Republicans said, “What? After eight years of portraying President Bush as a chimp, you bums are going to pull that crap?”
Some of my co-workers, in all earnest, explained that some racists think that Blacks are kin to apes.
I explained to them that Democrats have a world view that is radically different than the Republican world view. For one difference, the overwhelming majority of Republicans would never abort their own children. For other, Republicans abhor the Democrats’ efforts to abort black children. Republicans are working hard to stop the money (taxpayer money) to end this genocide of blacks, who but for the Democrats would be the second-largest ethnic group in America.
I also tell my Democratic co-worker Darwinists that they have no one but themselves to blame for the thinking that Black people are kin to apes.
My religion, Catholic, says, “God is the Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things.” And, “That man was created in God’s image.” In my life, I had never seen a chimp evolve into a man. Science is mankind’s search to understand God’s creation.
BTW, the Republican Party was formed to abolish slavery, and started and won the Civil War against the Democrats. Every Confederate was a Democrat. The Republicans fought for the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th, 14th, 15th and Amendments, and every Civil Rights Act. The only Southern Democrat that jumped to the Republicans was Strom Thurmond. All the other KKKers, Byrd, Stennis, Eastland, Russell, et al, were Democrats.
Peace.
