Black racists hurting their own people -- are these REALLY the role models of the African-American mainstream?
David Horowitz weighs in on the shame and disgrace that hover like a dark cloud over solidly entrenched institutionalized Black racists on the left. It should make any person of color with half a brain take pause--and ask themselves which party really is for the advancement of more and more black Americans into prosperity and power, and which party in reality only retains power by keeping the brothers down--so they can keep on portraying intelligent men and women of color as "victims" and continue to rake in the big bucks from limousine liberal Dems. I am saying it and I am saying it proudly--the party of racial equality is the Republican, not the Democratic party. Horowitz's post is a timely reminder of this fact:
George Bush has appointed more blacks to higher positions of authority than any president in the history of the United States, and indeed has appointed blacks to higher positions of authority in this country than any comparable minority in any country in the history of the world.
Yet an NBC poll this week reveals that only 2% of blacks "approve" the president's performance. Two percent! What could account for this failure of vision? Perhaps black Americans have been persuaded that Bush caused Hurricane Katrina that devastated the Gulf and also that only blacks died in the hurricanes? And that all those whites who risked their own lives to rescue them were only a mirage. After all this is the impression conveyed by the leaders of the Democratic Party and the entire "liberal" media.
Whereas the (ignored) truth is that if any individual is responsible for black deaths in New Orleans it is New Orleans black mayor Ray Nagin, who failed to evacuate his citizens even though the means, the time, and the warnings were all available to do so and it was his responsibility (and not George Bush's) to see that it was done.
This Saturday, as millions of Iraqis go to the polls to vote on the first democratic constitution in the history of the Arab Muslim world -- courtesy of George Bush -- millions of African Americans will be focused on a march in Washington led by a racist kook who has proclaimed that George Bush not Osama Bin Laden attacked America on 9/11 and followed up this feat by blowing up the levees that protected New Orleans in order, presumably, to drown its black citizens. What a disgrace this spectacle is. What a travesty this march. And the usual black leaders will be there to join Minister Farrakhan, including Al Sharpton, recent Democratic presidential candidate who has the blood of 8 lynch victims on his hands but is treated by all and sundry as a veritable statesman.
This is the last popular racism in America: The racism that blames whites for everything bad that happens to blacks and the racism that holds blacks accountable for nothing.
All that said, the Captains Quarters offers some caution in taking the 2% figure at face value:

On the other hand, the low percentage of black approval ratings for Bush does reflect the racist propaganda coming from the Democrat/"liberal"/left side of the argument.
