In short… They would be rampaging against the morally bankrupt
hustlers of victimhood and dependency. Or, to put it another way, they
would be voting Republican.
I mean, let’s face it: The riots, rallies, and violence in Ferguson
are not about empowerment, justice or even indignation. Heck, where are
the rallies for the more than 400 people killed in Chicago last year?
Where is the outrage over governments systematically making it
impossible for poverty-stricken inner cities to defend themselves?
Yet, there is a left-wing groundswell of support for the lawlessness
that has followed a questionable police shooting just outside of St
Louis. The truth is, this story isn’t
really about racism,
police brutality, or even tragedy… This story is about the failure of
Liberalism. It is an indictment of the liberal culture of victimhood,
and oppression. The riots, the violence, and the anti-police actions of
the Black Panthers, "Anonymous", and average thugs in Ferguson is the
result of being told for years that
victimhood is a permanent state of being; rather than a temporary state of mind.
It is a tactic that the left has imposed on minority groups for half a
century. To the American left, African Americans are in a perpetual
position of subjugation. After all, heroes are only found when they are
perceived to be needed, right? … Without a class of victims to champion,
Sharpton/ Holder & Company would be exposed as the quixotic
hustlers they truly are. These hollow heroes of the modern “Civil
Rights” movement are, essentially, portraying themselves as the
emancipators from a truly fictitious reality.
After more than a century of civil liberty battles and triumphs,
African Americans have flocked to the Party that opposed every
measurable Civil Rights initiative since the Emancipation Proclamation.
It should stun historians that the party of the Ku Klux Klan and
segregation now has an undeniable stranglehold on black America.
Today’s Party of Barack Obama and Eric Holder, willfully ignore FDR’s
history of opposing anti-lynching laws. They ignore John F Kennedy’s
vote, as a Senator, against the 1950’s era Civil Rights laws. They even
ignore the egregious violence and lawlessness that plague some of
America’s most Democrat cities. (Such as Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC
and Los Angeles.)
In a raging display that resembles the clinical definition of
“denial”, the American left claims that Republicans have abandoned their
civil-rights-minded past. They assert that the right wing of America is
nothing more than racist, backward thinking rednecks who “cling to
their guns, religion, and an antipathy toward people not like them.” But
nothing could be further from the truth.
“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a
nation where they are not judged by the color of their skin, but by the
content of their character.”
And yet we live instead in a nation where the liberally-inclined media
uses the term “white-police-officer” in their racially sensationalized
news coverage of Ferguson. We also live in a nation where dozens of
black children are shot every week in the war zone of Chicago without so
much as a whisper on the nightly national news, or from the first black
(and half white) President in American history.
Most of America has a dream as well. It is the same Dream that King
articulated so emotionally 50 years ago on the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial. And the progressive brand of Obama’s Democrat Party has spent
the last fifty years suffocating this dream under empty promises and
government programs. Just like the plantation owners of the pre-war
south, the Modern Democrat Party promises black America a roof, food,
and protection from the risks of freedom. . . And the brave few who dare
to champion the forgotten cause of individualism are ridiculed among
the Left; called traitors to their race; and are said to not know their
proper place – as voters in the Democrat plantation.
This suffocation of empowerment has been perpetuated by leftist
“heroes” who have sold the idea of permanent victimhood to minorities in
America. The progressive message has infected the African American
community with a sense of hopelessness and despair, not hope and
empowerment. And what we’re seeing in Ferguson is the exact thing that
can be expected from people who have no faith in the dream of American
equality.
The Left’s message that
African Americans are incapable, hopeless, and persecuted – without a
heavy-handed government of benevolent masters – is more than tragic… As
we see in Ferguson, it’s also dangerous.
