So, I have a question. Why is it that one is always, or nearly always, considered as being a racist for doing nothing more than to point out what is really pretty obvious. In this particular instance what I’m referring to is the fact that the only reason that the majority of Blacks and Hispanics so reliably vote Democrat is because of their rather well known dislike for anything having to do with being required to work to support oneself. We seem to be living in a day and age where those folks who comprise what is essentially an entire class of parasites possess a rather misguided sense of entitlement that replaces a love of country. Especially when it comes to those in our minority communities. And that’s not being racist, that’s just telling it like it is. And if there are those who may feel offended, too bad. Because they are the ones who have made this perception possible. After all, it doesn’t, or at least it shouldn’t, take a genius to recognize the fact that the Democrat Party is called home by those for whom work is nothing more than a dirty four letter word. These people seem incapable of recognizing the fact that someone has to work in order for them to get what they view as being the freebies that they deserve.
Anyway, as a way to support my argument here, the state of Georgia can be used as the perfect example. We do so because Georgia is a state that now seems to have the Democrats salivating regarding what they think is the fact that they may, and sooner rather than later, be able to turn a very deep shade of blue. They see their chances getting better because of the fact that Georgia is quickly becoming less white and less rural. In 2000, Georgia's population was 63 percent white; as of the 2010 Census the state's population is 56 percent white. Of the state's 1.5 million new residents between 2000 and 2010, more than 80 percent were non-white. Over the past decade, the 6 percent growth among Georgia's white population pales in comparison to the 26 percent growth rate among African Americans. This is in stark contrast to the growth patterns of the 1990s, when Georgia's white population grew by more than double that rate. Since 1990, Georgia has gained more than 1.2 million African-American residents and has served, according to The Wall Street Journal, as a "magnet for black professionals" from other parts of the country.
Georgia's Hispanic population grew by 96 percent over the last decade, a growth rate double the national average. From 1990-2010, the state's Hispanic population has risen from roughly 100,000 to more than 800,000, now totaling 9.1 percent of the state's population. Additionally, Georgia's Asian-American community grew by 81 percent from 2000-2010 and has almost quintupled since 1990. African-Americans in Georgia vote overwhelmingly Democrat, and party leaders believe they can, thanks to Republican policies on immigration, do well among Latinos. But with the current numbers, it is unlikely to be enough to change the outcome this year. Some Republicans realize they face a challenge down the line. Charlie Harper, editor of the conservative blog Peach Pundit, said any Democrat talk of a resurgence this year or in 2014 is wishful thinking on their part, but said six or eight years from now, things will likely be different. "The Democratic voter base is growing faster than the Republican base," said Harper, who also writes a column for a chain of rural newspapers. "If Republicans aren’t able to figure out how to solve some of the problems they’re grappling with now, Democrats will have a chance to take Georgia blue, or at least make it purple."
Georgia’s 16 electoral votes are not trivial and would, if lost, also do grievous damage to Republican prospects. Yet we hear relatively little about possibilities for a blue Georgia, despite the fact that Georgia is, in many respects, a more plausible candidate than Texas for changing colors. In the last decade, Georgia had a rapid rate of increase in its minority population, going from 37 to 44 percent minority over the time period. The increase in the minority population accounted for 81 percent of Georgia’s growth over the decade. The biggest contributor to minority growth came from blacks, who alone accounted for 39 percent of Georgia’s growth. The next largest contributor was Hispanics, whose numbers increased at a scorching 96 percent pace and accounted for 26 percent of the state’s growth. And as I have already said, minorities in general have very little interest in the general welfare of our country, being much more interested in the general welfare of themselves. Hence they make what are ideal supporters of the Democrat Party. Minorities makes it very plain that their votes will go to the highest bidder, and as long as we have a political party willing to buy, not much will change.
There continues to be many who argue that the Republican Party needs to do more to entice minorities into its ranks. But apparently the only possible way to do that is by offering all manner of taxpayer sponsored freebies, hence the dilemma. Which means that the survival of the country now hinges on the fact of whether minorities can ever be convinced into put the country above their own rather selfish desires. And, quite frankly, I just don’t see that happening any time soon. And again there is nothing racist in what I’m saying here, I’m just being honest about what I see as taking place. And I’m sure there will be those who insist upon calling my position racist, but by doing so all they really do is to add support to my position. And the truly sad thing here is that if both political parties were more interested in the needs of the country than they were determined in their efforts to accrue more political power for themselves, everyone, including those in our various minority communities would be much better off. But it’s highly unlikely that something like that is going to happen anytime soon. So here we sit, essentially at the mercy of those who perpetually have their hand out.
