July 4, 2003 It is time for blacks to walk away from the Democratic Party. Why? The answer is there are numerous reasons, but for one thing, it is the party of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore, Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle -- as well as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton -- which is reason enough. I see what this guy, Julius Hannon, is all about, you might be thinking. He’s a “lawn jockey for the far-right,” a “foot-shuffling lackey for the Republican Party.” Well, whatever I am, that does not change one very important fact: The Democratic Party has inflicted more damage on black society than the whites who enslaved blacks ever did. That is true because ever since the early 1960s, that party has been carrying out a vast campaign to condition blacks to regard themselves as inferior and to be hopelessly dependent on government handouts and the goodwill of whites. Its agenda has served to encourage a countless number of black men and women to abandon their children, have babies out of wedlock and become career criminals. Worst of all, the Democratic Party has caused millions of blacks to be murdered before they are even born. Now, I shall present my argument in more specific terms. First, every time there is a local, state or national election, more than 90% of the blacks who show up at the polls vote only for Democrats. That is one of the greatest tragedies in America today. It is tragic because by marching in lock step behind a gang of Democratic pied pipers down a road paved with such scraps and handouts as free school lunches, affirimative-action programs and free abortions, black society is striding surely towards its own annihilation. Presently, in fact, America’s black society is in more than ever before. It is plagued by a wide range of serious social, economic and psychological problems, with no relief in sight. For one thing, even though slavery ended 150 years ago, the majority of contemporary blacks think like slaves. Most of them hold the same unliberated views that their enslaved forebears were forced to embrace. They firmly believe in such notions as black skin and kinky hair are inferior to white skin and straight hair, black is a derogatory word, and blacks cannot survive and advance unless whites treat them with “tolerance” and “sensitivity.” Just to cite a few of the crushing social and economic problems gripping black society today, one out of every three blacks is living in poverty; their average annual income is only about one-half of that of whites; the group’s rate of unemployment is constantly 2-to-3 times the national average; only about 40% of the black households with children are headed by married couples; and nearly 80% of the black children coming into the world today are born out of wedlock. And even though blacks make up only about 13% of the U.S. population, more than 40% of the 150,000+ murders, rapes and robberies that occur in the country each year are committed by blacks. In addition, a very sizable number of black communities are so rundown they resemble the battle-torn cities of World War II Europe; many of the public schools that black children attend are little more than armed camps and war zones; disproportionate numbers of blacks are dying from cancer, diabetes, AIDS and other incurable diseases; and thousands are addicted to heroin, “crack” and other dangerous illegal drugs. Black society is in very deep trouble, and that’s exactly where the Democratic Party wants it to be. That is a true statement, but you do not have to take my word for it. Just tune into the evening news any night of the week, or scan the first few pages of your local newspaper. By doing one or both of those things you will see the facts. You will learn that Democratic politicians and their allies are working around the clock to keep black society mired in the swamp of helplessness and low self-esteem that it is sinking in today. Specifically, you will see stories about the ways in which Democratic lawmakers are taking measures to provide the black poor with such handouts as “free abortions,” “free methadone,” “free needles” “free beds in filthy homeless shelters” and “free school lunches” (loaded with sodium, sugar and other harmful additives). There will also be a story or two about “prominent African-American Democrats” leading 1950s-style public demonstrations and protest marches against whatever they perceive to be racism -- as well as another showing “top African-American Democrats” lamely calling on poor blacks to “keep hope alive.” However, one thing you will not see in the news is a report about a high-ranking member of the Democratic Party calling on blacks to replace their over-reliance on government assistance and charity with a bold new movement, based entirely on unlimited black enterprise, capitalism and self-reliance. And that is because the Democratic Party wants the United States of America to remain the giant plantation it is. Every one of the “new Democrats,” as well as the old ones, want to go right on being “The masters and overseers of the African-American Community.” ------------ About the author: Mr. Hannon is the author of “The Clearstone Project,” a novel.
