Let me get this straight, the Supreme Court rules against racist gerrymandering of districts and Democrat Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández cries Republican racism in the Sun when grouping districts by racial characteristics isn’t allowed. I remember back when integration was the civil rights cry, yet for the past 17 years it appears multicultural segregation of races is the Orwellian civil rights demand by Democrats. Yet that should not come as a historical surprise. Here’s why:
The Democrat Party represented the pro-slavery South in the Civil War. The newly formed Republican Party represented the anti-slavery North.
The post-war Jim Crow laws and Ku Klux Klan terrorists were strictly Democrat attempts to maintain segregation and so were the two KKK revivals.
Democrats were the primary opposition to all the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
The 1940s and 1950s saw the greatest increase in economic opportunity and prosperity for Blacks. That ended with the primarily Democrat creation of the 1960s “Great Society” welfare state generating a government dependency which tore apart the Black family and led to massive increases in crime and societal dysfunction. The oppressed Asian population rejected the Democrat’s welfare plantation and flourished, surpassing Whites.
The Race Hustling Eras: Race hustlers or race pimps feed off and exploit racial tensions for personal, political, or financial gain. Where racial harmony exists they utilize Marxist identity politics with race card/race baiting tactics to stoke fear and hatred in the name of racial sensitivity. I consider it the most sinister form of racism. The race hustling activism and protests of Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson were at their peak in the 1980s and 1990s. They included shakedowns (extortion) of businesses for alleged discrimination.
Despite those exploitations, by 2008 the U.S. had attained the international status of “most racially tolerant nation” as proven by comprehensive social science surveys. 2008 also marked the revival of race hustling with President Barack Obama’s claims of “systemic racism.” Yet systemic racism never existed, it was all individual. “Systemic race hustling” was and is the insidious reality. Obama proved to be the great divider. Before him, race was becoming a nonissue. Now it’s *the* issue – race is everything and everything is racial.
By 2016 our standing on the Racial Tolerance Index had fallen dramatically. Martin Luther King Jr. ‘s values of integration and content of character were replaced with the woke Neo-Marxism of tribalistic identity segregation – race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation – divide and conquer.
The Trump administration’s banning of several discriminatory racist policies and usage such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, racial gerrymandering, affirmative action, critical race theory, the 1619 Project, Marxist American revisionism in education and “radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling” has triggered Democrat’s Trump Derangement Syndrome to the point where they openly justify racism while at the same time rant and label Republicans and conservatives as racists for ending discrimination. Their racial cognitive dissonant double standards are duplicitous, hypocritical, deranged, delusional, and mentally unstable. These people are dangerous.
Leger Fernandez’s systemic race hustling may be poisonous to society, yet her misery has plenty of company. She is merely parroting the woke mind virus of the entire Democrat Party. They are united in their collective fever dreams and are so blind to their own racial bigotry it’s as chilling to freedom loving Americans as a modern sequel to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
