PRESIDENT TRUMP PROVES TO BE WORTH THE GAMBLE FOR BLACKS…

It was on several occasions throughout the 2016 presidential campaign that I remember then candidate Trump asking black voters what it was that they had to lose by voting for him.  He asked what it was that the Democrats had done for them that deserved their continuing loyalty.  And he asked if their lives had gotten appreciably better after voting Democrat for decades.  Well it’s just a little over two short years later and what we’re seeing is that blacks had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Because, you see, it’s another fact that’s in stark contrast to the ‘fake news’ message that continues to be used in an attempt to convince the American people that the Trump presidency somehow hurts minorities.  But if one took the time to look beyond all of the noise one would quickly find out that nothing could be further from the truth. You see, since 2017 all, yes ALL, minorities in America have seen significant gains in employment and wages regardless of gender or socio-economic background.

The conditions of minority communities have improved so much since the presidency of Barry ‘O’ it should stun anyone who bothers to take a moment to learn about that improvement.  It’s why the president’s support among minority voters is at historic highs for a Republican president of the modern era.  President Trump is rewriting the political landscape in real time even as the ‘fake news’ media continues to claim differently.  To them the president is nothing but a racist who hates all black folks.  

But despite all of the drivel coming from those in ‘fake news’ it’s the improvements for those in the Black community that have, quite possibly, been the most dramatic of all during the Trump presidency, given how dire life was for them during the eight year reign of Barry ‘O’.  During that time Black unemployment spiked to truly depressing levels.  And yet, even with a black man in the White House, conditions only managed to get worse, will little interest in trying to make things any better.

I’m sure there are those who remember how the first two years of the Barry’s presidency were especially bad for Black families when Black unemployment reached nearly 18% and didn’t start to significantly improve until Republicans took control of Congress and slowed the centralized government madness that was the hallmark of the Obama era.  And despite all the “experts” warning after Trump won the White House in 2016 that the economy would plummet the opposite has been true.

You’d have to be blind not to recognize the fact, in spite of the all the ‘fake news’ being pumped out on a daily basis, that our economy continues to strengthen and that it is minority America that is benefitting the most.  As of right now Black unemployment is at an all-time low and wage growth is improving as well. And it was President Trump that did that, not Barry ‘O’, our first black president.  Although it has been a number of times that Barry has done his best to take all the credit.

And what of the justice system reform that has been initiated by President Trump? For years DC politicians have been campaigning on the issue of sentencing and prison reform, calling it unfairly biased toward minorities, particularly Black Americans. Nothing was done about it though, until Mr. Trump.  Within months real justice reform became a reality and yet few would know that because the ‘fake news’ media did so little reporting on it.  President Trump made that reform a reality, NOT Barry.

It’s the simple truth that very American, regardless of skin color, has a choice of how best to deal with what has become an onslaught of ‘fake news’ from our media types. You can believe what is fed to you or you can question it and seek out the truth.  The futures of tens of millions of minority Americans all across the country are shining brighter right now than they ever have and President Trump should be applauded for that, not vilified.  He has truly proven himself to be America’s President.

THE GOP AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY...

To continue to make the claim that the Republican Party somehow deserted the black community, is to purposely distort, or ignore, historical fact in an attempt to convince blacks of the importance of remaining loyal Democrats. Because that’s not exactly what took place. What really happened, is that blacks were, in a way, lured into leaving the GOP by a Democrat Party who had essentially run out of options in their effort to keep black participation in the political process to an absolute minimum. With the passage in 1964 of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act, primarily because of Republican support, Democrats had to figure out a way to 'convince' blacks that the Democrat Party was their only hope of achieving equality.

And as we now know blacks took the bait, hook, line and sinker and have been, very firmly, entrenched on the Democrat plantation ever since. So chalk one up for LBJ. And the result of they're decision was that they effectively chose to sell their collective soul to the Democrat Party in exchange for being made to be on the receiving of all manner of taxpayer subsidized goodies dispensed to them by the government. And all that is asked from them in return was that they vote for Democrats in every election. And they always do, even going to far as to actually brag about it, failing completely to recognize the fact that they're being played. And you listen to these people go on and on about they're pathetic lives and then watch as they vote for the ones responsible.

I remember being told many times as a kid how whenever it was that I found myself in some manner of trouble, that I had made my bed and now I'd have to lie in it. Well, that's pretty much how I feel whenever I hear blacks whining, incessantly, about whatever misfortune it is that has befallen them. They're the ones who made, and continue to make, the very conscious decision to strive for the mediocre. They are, essentially, their own worst enemy. They chose to become dependent on the government, no one was there holding a gun to their head. And I'll tell ya, if these folks are so insistent upon being able to blame someone for their plight, they really need look no further than the nearest mirror. That face lookin back at them is the only culprit!

Ironically their decision to hitch their wagon to the Democrat Party has made them allies of the same political party, not only, of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow, but of the very same party of those who made up the majority of members of the Ku Klux Klan. And for what, exactly? The truth is these people don't want what the Republican Party is offering because it would require a little effort on their part and a willingness to be more responsible for their own actions. They enjoy this whole 'victim' thing that they have going. They've been playing the slavery card now for over 140 years, wouldn't you think that the time had finally come to give it a rest? I mean, after all, blacks aren't the only group to ever find themselves on the receiving end of slavery.

Let's face it, blacks are the only ones capable of deciding how best to improve their lives. I mean it doesn't take brain surgeon to recognize who or what has been behind the rapid decline of the black community, and on so many different levels. It's been their unyielding allegiance to the Democrat Party. And if they're too blind to see that, or too stupid to figure that out then, quite frankly, I have no sympathy. But unfortunately what that also means is that I'm stuck in the unenviable position of having to continue subsidizing their lifestyle. A lifestyle that is essentially a dead-end for them and is becoming more and more of a financial burden on me! But none of that really seems to matter very little to any of them.

And another thing, I think we need to get back to that place were we can all look upon each other as Americans and not as hyphenated Americans. We need to think of ourselves not as African-Americans or Hispanic-Americans or any another sub group of Americans. Because. I'll tell ya folks, we're all in this thing together, and either we're all Americans or we’re not. It's just that simple. Our country is spiraling out of control and the deck is coming up awfully fast to meet us. We have to stop allowing politicians to separate us and encouraging us to fight amongst ourselves. No one wins in that little scenario except the politicians. These's simply too much at stake. It has to be 'all of us' presenting a united front and going up against those in power.

And one last thing here, the sense of entitlement that now has such a grip on the black community, and that borders on belligerence, has gotten seriously out of control. And it is something that's going to have to be reeled in a little if there is to be any hope of saving things. The money is now gone, and the saving of our country is now up to us, ALL of us. We have to convince those in government that we are all mad as Hell and we're not going to take it anymore. We're going to ignore their efforts to set fighting with ourselves as we, at the same time, set about fighting what it is that they are trying to do to our country. Because there is no way on God's green Earth that will be able to continue on our present course, which is straight down.

And I'll tell ya something else, before blacks are going to be able to make any significant progress in the improvement of their own lives, they would need to first develop an actual love for this country and for the freedoms that it guarantees. They would then need to realize that a massive and all-powerful government is NOT what's in the best interest of anybody, including themselves. That it does nothing other than attempt to smother the freedom and liberty of the individual. And here's quite possibly the toughest thing of all, they would need to put what's best for their country above what's best for them. Because without a truly free America, nothing else really matters. If America dies, freedom dies with it! For EVERYBODY!

HYPOCRISY AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY...

Further proof of the hypocrisy that seems to run pretty deep in the black community comes to us now in the form of a new poll which was recently commissioned by Black Entertainment Television (BET) founder Bob Johnson and conducted by Zogby. What the poll shows us that 55 percent of African-American adults do not agree with the LGBT community’s claim that gay rights are the same as civil rights for blacks. And yet the folks that blacks continue to insist upon voting for do not agree with them on this issue. Democrats view the 'struggle' of gays to be the equal of the civil rights struggle experienced by blacks. But the holding of such an opinion seems to have very little impact when it comes to voting patterns of those in the black community. They continue to be very firmly entrenched in their commitment to voting for Democrat candidates, no matter what.

"There weren’t any real surprises. On the issue of gay rights, African-Americans are far more conservative on that issue than I think the general population, so that wasn’t a surprise," Johnson, who is also founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies, said Tuesday at the National Press Club when asked what findings surprised him most. "We had another question that we … didn’t put in the speech: Did African-Americans believe that gay rights are the same as equal rights for African-Americans, and surprisingly they shared the view that gays can make the argument that their rights are tantamount to African-Americans, equal with civil rights," Johnson, who is also founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies, said Tuesday at the National Press Club when asked what findings surprised him most. But his claim isn't actually supported by the poll's results.

Johnson’s remark on gay rights seems to contradict the section of his own poll on equal rights for gays, which actually found that in fact, 55 percent of those surveyed said no when asked, "Do you believe that equal rights for gays are the same as equal rights for African Americans." In contrast, only 28 percent said yes. That’s almost two to one who said that equal rights for the gay community is no the same as equal rights for blacks. However, respondents were basically split on the issue of gay marriage. When asked, "Do you believe marriage should be restricted to between a man and a woman or do you believe that persons of the same sex should be allowed to marry and receive similar benefits as heterosexual couples," 42 percent said marriage should be between a man and woman, while 40 percent said same-sex couples should be allowed to marry with benefits.

Respondents were also asked: "Do you believe ministers who oppose homosexuality, including the rights of gays and lesbians to marry are right, wrong, or no opinion." A majority of respondents (35 percent) had no opinion, but 34 percent said ministers were right to oppose homosexuality and gay marriage, and 31 percent said ministers were wrong. While the gap has most definitely narrowed over time, the majority opinion would seem to be the complete opposite of the position held by the Democrat Party, the party that remains the favorite of the vast majority of blacks. Hence my rationale for accusing the black community of hypocrisy. I'm not sure how else to say it. If you are voting for candidates who do not support your values or your positions on issues that are important to you, what else can you call it but being a hypocrite? Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

And I'm constantly hearing about how it is that the Republican Party needs to do more to entice minorities to join its ranks. How it needs to be a 'big tent' party. But I disagree. Blacks continue to place their need for a government check above all else, and until THEY decide to vote for those who actually support their views on such things education, the family, and gay marriage, there is nothing that we can do as Republicans that will convince them to come over to our side. It should be quite obvious to even the dimmest of bulbs that the Democrat Party has been the most destructive entity to ever hit the black community. And yet, blacks remain blindly obedient to the party. They have essentially enslaved themselves to a party that seeks only to prevent them from improving their lives. All we can do, as Republicans, is to present blacks with a viable option, the rest is up to them.

ONE OF THE TRUE MYSTERIES OF LIFE...

While not wanting to sound like I am somehow claiming to possess some level of superiority here, I have to say that I am extremely curious about something. What is it about being a member of pretty much any minority community that seems to instill or encourage in those individuals the rather strange mentality that drives a rather warped sense of entitlement? When looking around and taking note of the obviously precarious position in which this country now finds itself, what is about those who make up an overwhelming majority of these people, that has them possessing such an inane sense of being owed something? And where does this "need" to portray oneself as being a "victim" come from? Does it stem from something ingrained in their DNA, have they just become too comfortable in their welfare status or, is it that they have simply been manipulated by a political party into believing that they truly are unable to make it on their own without the receiving any of the unique assistance that only that the Democrat Party can provide. And how exactly did they reach a point where they have achieved such an incredible level of collective, as well as chronic, paranoia that, even among the very well educated, although that may in itself be the problem, seems to run rampant with they’re thinking that all of us white folks have nothing better to do than to be out to get them? Look, I'm a live and let live kinda guy I possess no ill will toward those different from me as long as what they do has no impact on me or on my ability to provide for my family. I am someone who favors helping anyone truly down on their luck and in need. But not forever, even my generosity has a very specific limit. At some point people need to be motivated enough to get out there and develop a little initiative and self-respect to fend for themselves. And don’t try to tell me you can't find a job because of your race. That's nothing more than a cop out, plain and simple. It's now time for a great many of these people to do nothing more than to, quite simply, grow up. Because if they are "victims" of anything, it would be their own ignorance. Ignorance of why it is exactly that the overall condition of their community, over time continues to change very little. And the reason for that little dilemma would of course be, the Democrats. But that little light bulb just never seems to come on. Hell, it doesn't even flicker!

And ya know, how dare these self-righteous, sanctimonious and yes, even, ignorant individuals continue to use as an excuse, something that ended over 140 years ago. Granted, I'm not going sit here try and claim that there weren't things like segregation that did take place for far too long and much too far into more recent times, historically speaking, and I'm sure that some would say that they still take place. But which political party was it that worked, and continues to work, toward the taking of specific actions to bring about an end to such things? And while the president at that time may have been a Democrat, which Party was it that ensured the successful passage for both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in 1964 and 65, it wasn’t the racist Democrat Party. Ah, that would be the same party that took the nation to war to end slavery, the Republican Party. Perhaps if they made themselves a bit less ignorant regarding history or spent less time listening to all of the drivel coming from their supposed “spokesmen,” who we know are beholden to the Democrats, they might finally get a clue as to who it is that is on their side. And again, it sure ain't the Democrats! What’s really pathetic is the fact that these people have a personality complex of a most bizarre and extreme nature. The “only” ones who see them as being supposedly inferior and are determined to convince them that they are, remains to be those who are supposed to be the one offering up the most encouragement, not excuses. Come on folks, for crying out loud, GET A GRIP! Life's tough, nobody is entitled to a free ride. We all have choices to make in our life, sometimes we make good ones, sometimes we don't. But no matter who you are, the making of bad ones is no ones fault but your own. It's time to claim a little ownership here. And it is a fact of life that some folk’s decisions are easier than other folk’s for any number of reasons. It is just a very simple fact that while we may not all be born with the same advantages, we are all born with the same opportunities. But it all boils down to what we need to do to make of the most of those opportunities and if we are willing to do whatever's necessary to take advantage of them. Quit your damn whining, after all, nobody likes a whiner. Get off your duff and find something to do that justifies your existence. Something other than trying to continually reach into my wallet! The best thing that any of these folks could do for themselves is to cut the umbilical cord that runs from themselves straight to the Democrat Party and has done so ever since the creation of that infamous “Great Society." If they were ever to actually do that, the sense of freedom that would come rushing into them would be unlike anything they have ever experienced. It truly would create for them real “hope and change,” not the vague illusion promised by others, but as something tangible and actually brought about by their own actions. Because the intent of the Democrats is not to move those at the lower end of the economic scale up, but instead it is to move those at the upper end, down. It's a philosophy of let's all be miserable together, except of course for the political elite. Realistically speaking, what is that I would gain personally by having someone else being brought down to where I am. We should all want to strive to be up there where they are and should be willing to work hard in order to get there. But the Democrats are constantly putting up more and more roadblocks preventing us from doing so. WHY? Because the need for victims is what's paramount to the Democrats being able to move forward with their highly toxic agenda, that's why!


These people continue to be their own worst enemy and on so many different levels. They insist on voting for the one political party which has been the sole source of all their misfortune, which should strike anyone looking in from the outside as being more than just a little odd. What exactly have they gotten in return for their blind devotion and their continuing affiliation with the Democrat Party? The guarantee of receiving a taxpayer funded check from the government? Is that all that they see their self-respect as being worth? Ah, and then there was that brainchild of LBJ’s called the “War On Poverty” or, what now I suppose might be referred to by some as being something like the poverty contingency operation. And just has been accomplished by all those billions of dollars spent? Well, let’s see, we have a prison population that still has as its largest percentage of inmates, members of the minority community, the family unit within the minority community that is essentially laying in absolute shambles, a 70 percent out of wedlock birth rate, if we’re being honest, the stigma of affirmative action and their continuing to remain essentially trapped in self-destructing neighborhoods located in fiscally imploding cities, and being run by none other than….Democrats. And yet, these people remain convinced that they are so much more better off than if they were to ever cast a vote for those evil, racist, church burning, lynch mob crazy Republicans. And just who is that repeatedly portrays that image to them? Why that would be none other than those perpetually self-promoting racist scumbags of which Al "Bullhorn" Sharpton, Jesse "Blackmailer" Jackson and "Calypso Louie" Farrakhan are only three of the biggest offenders. It is men like these who, while obviously being on the Democrat Party payroll, are the main reason that the minority which they claim to represent, continue to demonstrate their undying allegiance to a political party whose sole purpose is to ensure that those who comprise this minority remain stymied in any effort made to improve their lives. These people are constantly encouraged to believe that the best they can ever hope for will result only from their continuing to remain willingly dependent on the Democrat Party. How tragic is that? Ignorance is no excuse and neither is being clueless. These people have got to realize that it is the Democrat Party that is the speed bump on the road to they're being to achieve any satisfactory level of progress and has essentially maintained them in their lower level existence. And the sooner they realize that the ones whom they continue to trust and to look upon as being trusted leaders are nothing more than well paid accomplices, essentially shills, of the Democrat Party, the better off they are going to be. Which begs the question, why do they tolerate it? Can it really be as simple as they're being permanently affixed to the receiving end of the steady flow of taxpayer funded Welfare checks and food stamps? Have their expectations really been reduced to that? Are they really that afraid of kicking off the training wheels and just going for it, throwing caution to the wind? Despite what Barry may say, if you wish to become successful, you're gonna need to take risks. Risks that will very much be worth it if, any level of success is achieved. Obviously if failure is the result, then the risk may not seem worth it at the time, but then you pick yourself up, review the things that were learned in order to increase the odds of becoming successful in any future attempts. But don't come crying to me with you hand out for any of my hard earned money because you're simply afraid to crawl out from under the shelter of some government entitlement umbrella.


I worry about the future especially when I see the ease with which so many people can be so easily manipulated into believing things that are so patently false. People seem to be willing to believe that their inability to succeed at something must be someone else’s fault, after all, they have just tried so hard. The only reason that they are somehow being prevented from succeeding must be because of their skin color. No, they're being prevented from succeeding because the Democrats need victims, and what better way to supply yourself with victims, than to create them and to then blame their plight on the opposition party. There does remain a political party in this country who possess a very obvious racial bias, but as much as some would like you to believe, it is NOT the Republican Party. It is nothing more than the luck of the draw that we may possess the natural ability or the necessary talent, skill or commitment to succeed at some endeavor. We each have or own unique abilities and skill sets but without the opportunities to put them into practice they are worthless. That is where the Democrats come in. They work ever so diligently to reduce those opportunities through any number of ways. But if they were to simply stand aside, one would very easily be provided with any number of opportunities to try, and to actually achieve, some degree of success. But if the Democrats were to do that, well then these people would no longer be victims in "need" of Democrat entitlements, and therefore no longer in need of the Democrats. Everyone has some natural ability or skills, and when mixed with hard work "anyone" can achieve measurable success were it not for the impediment of the Democrat Party. And that goes for everyone no matter their race, who has been blessed with the privilege of living in this country. But too many listen to, and give far too much credence to, those who tell them that they can't. They are told that if only they were white, then all their problems would be solved. BUNK!! And yet, when someone actually takes the time to make the effort to try to convince them of the truth, they're simply not willing to listen, resorting to name calling and sometimes even threats of violence. Even when those trying to enlighten come from within their own community. The term brainwashing does not even begin to describe the condition with which these people presently find themselves being afflicted. No offense intended here, but it's much more closely resembles being brain dead. What gives these people any right to make demands that they be entitled to their fair share of my earnings as if they are owed something? I owe them nothing, least of all any of the money I earn by actually working for it. Which is something maybe they should be forced to try out for themselves. Yeh, yeh I know, now I'm a racist. Get over yourselves, you'll be much better off in the long run!
