DEMS: No friend to black Americans

| August 17, 2014 9:00 PM

On a flight to Tampa this past February, Delta Airlines was showing a movie titled “The Butler.” This is what I wrote concerning this movie while on the plane:

Hollywood does an excellent job of “Keeping Them Down On The Farm.” This movie was created to remind black people of persecutions which happened long before they were born. This movie rehashes events which have long since gone extinct. One purpose, or agenda, which Hollywood has is to continue to re-enforce the myth that black people are where they are today because of white people and the injustices heaped upon them throughout the past 200 years or so.

As events unfold in Missouri and in other cities across the nation, our current black president has done a very good job of keeping Hollywood agenda “alive and well.” Hollywood, and the Democratic Party have no use for black people who have achieved success without government’s help, i.e. Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell to name just a few. Hollywood is simply another name for Democrat in today’s political world.

Slowly though, Americans are waking up to the fact that the Democratic Party has long been the culprit and creator of problems confronting blacks in this country. Whether on election day blacks decide to vote differently is a subject for another day. However, slowly, their eyes are also being opened to just where they are in America’s Dream. We are seeing their responses daily. It is becoming increasingly clear that some of the problems blacks face come directly from Democratic leaders.
