If I were a racist, I'd be a liberal!

Well, another liberal is in trouble for making racist remarks. Why are we surprised? Political philosophies throughout history have fostered racism. Misguided beliefs in white supremacy led to this country's most horrendous war to date to redeem us from America's "original sin," slavery. But Senator Biden's comment expressing how surprised he was that a Black man could be articulate and more recently Don Immus's comments disparaging Black women are just another in a long line of racist remarks made by liberals. Like the slave owners of old that looked benevolently at their slaves at a group of people that needed taken care of while demanding their servitude, liberals today have pretty much the same attitude, demanding votes in lieu of picking cotton. While it is a gross exaggeration to claim all liberals are overtly racist, their political philosophies attract racists and even foster a soft racism among those that do not realize they are being morphed into racists. In fact, if I wanted to inflict the maximum misery on a group of people, I couldn't come up with a better program than that used by liberals to reek havoc in the Black community. Indeed, if I were a racist, I would be a liberal and here is how I would do it.

Let's go back to 1968, the dawn of modern liberalism. Blacks throughout the South are trapped by Jim Crow laws and not much better respected in the North. But Black families are intact and largely reaping the rewards of living clean, Christian lives. In the sixties we have an overwhelming Democrat majority in Congress and a great liberal icon, Kennedy, elected president. He continued the policies that kept Blacks in their place. Then Johnson sides with the civil rights movement and tries to empower blacks through the Voting Rights Act. But we have the overwhelming majority in Congress and great liberals such and Senator Gore from Tennessee and the Klansman and Grand Wizard, Senator Bird from West Virginia; they will help us block the legislation. But then tragedy strikes. An overwhelming majority of the Republicans join a small minority of Democrats in Congress to vote for Blacks to claim their rights as citizens and the legislation passes. Blacks, in deference to their liberator, Lincoln, vote en mass for Republicans. This will not do. We need to come up with a plan to destroy the Black community while getting them to participate in their own destruction by making them think it's in their best interest to vote for us Democrats. I know, let's promise them stuff if they vote for us that looks good but is actually to their detriment.

Let's start by exploiting their weaknesses. Years of segregation have left them largely ill-educated and unprepared for employment. But some are getting jobs at wages lower than whites, gaining needed experience and working their way up. Without segregation, they make integrate and work up to the level of other groups within a generation or two. That is what Jews, Irish, Germans, Poles, Italians and countless other groups have done, in spite of prejudice. Let's have a minimum wage law. We will tell Black folks that we are forcing employers to pay them the same as white folks just to be fair. But we know that if employers must pay the same for an ill-prepared Black person as for a well prepared white person, the Black person will not get hired. This should keep the unemployment rate higher among Blacks and this poverty can be exploited later. And we need to raise the minimum wage often so the pay will always be beyond the worth of their average skill level.

Now we address the education situation. There is a danger that Blacks may become as well educated as whites, eventually. We need to get them stuck with rotten teachers who teach poorly or not at all. But if teachers do a poor job, they will get fired. How do we keep bad teachers from getting fired? Of course! Let's support teacher unions. Unions are all about job preservation, not job performance. We can spew more of our nonsense about fairness while picking up campaign cash from yet another group. But how do we keep this plan from affecting whites? Well, whites can escape our strongholds, such as inner cites, while we trap Blacks there with high unemployment. Maybe they will even become discouraged enough to drop out at a high rate.

But a minimum wage will not be enough. Black men can be quite resourceful in providing for their families. We need to put a wedge between Black men and their families. How about welfare? We can pay women for having babies when they have no husband. The disproportionate unemployment we caused among Black men will encourage them to flee their responsibilities, especially if they know the government will take care of their families for them. Black women may even see having babies out of wedlock as way to get money. Nothing says poverty like an unwed, drop-out, single mother. Then they will have to vote for us because they depend on us for their very survival.

But they will never go for that; they are good Christians. That's it! Too much Christianity! Let's get prayer out of schools along with any reference to religion or moral judgments. We will allow anti-God, anti-Christian things such as Evolution Theory and Halloween but take out things like Bible Study and Nativity displays. We will attack people of faith, accusing them of being wackos while defending sacrilegious displays of a naked Jesus make of chocolate or a crucifix in urine as expressions of free speech. Heck, we might as well fund them with Federal tax dollars. And if all this godlessness spawns a culture of violence, perhaps Blacks will start killing each other. Perhaps an environment of hopelessness will push them into a culture of violence and drugs to destroy themselves. We will be as soft on crime as we can so that the drug dealers and the criminals stay on the street as much as possible. And if anyone tries to put the thugs responsible in jail, we will accuse them of being racist. Maybe Blacks will have such a low respect for themselves that they will start using racist epithets on each other. How about that for a twist!

Now we may have some hard cases that try to rise above their circumstances. We will constantly remind them that their ancestors were abused and that because of this, they are victims of the society and that society owes them a living. That way they will wait around for the justice we promised that will never come instead of striking out to make something of themselves. Bestowing them with victim status will keep them helpless while talking about how lousy a job this country has done with race relations will keep them angry and prevent them from joining and enjoying the benefits of the society they hate so much. Maybe some non-racist whites will even belief this blather and join us in our quest to "help."

Now what if some Blacks do manage to get through the system and get a college degree. I don't mind if they get college degrees as long as they do not actually get educated in the process. The help we offer will not be to improve schools. Not after all the work we did to trap them there to begin with. No, we will lower standards in admittance to college and lower standards in college graduation and professional programs. We will get them that piece of paper without the risk of their actually becoming educated. And if we do get the occasional well-educated Black, he/she is likely to go to the other (i.e., conservative) side anyway. We will just accuse him/her of not being black enough or not being the right type of Black. Heck, we might as well vent our racism toward them through hateful speech and ugly cartoons. After all, as a racist, we need to vent at someone. Surely we could get a pass if our racism is directed at Conservatives. Some of these smart Black people may be allowed to become mayor of Atlanta or Secretary of Agriculture but never chair of the Democrat Party, and heaven forbid, a Black ever becomes Secretary of State or President.

Suppose some Black people succeed in building wealth through successful business. We will have taxes as high as possible, regardless of how devastating these taxes are on the economy or the overall flow to the treasury. The important thing is to keep people from rising into affluence by increasing taxes as their incomes rise. And lest they pass their businesses on to the next generation, we will have an estate tax so high that it will destroy the businesses and send the next generation back to the poverty to which they belong. Whites, like the Kennedy family, have enough money that they do not need to run businesses and can just avoid the taxes by putting their money in trusts.

But will the American people let us have enough power to inflict mass malaise on an unsuspecting group we hate so much? That remains to be seen. We are and will remain the power brokers in the urban areas where Black populations are concentrated. And if the Conservatives are in power nationally, we will blame them for the chaos we have caused. We will make up lies of how electing conservatives will cause black churches to burn and children to starve. We will even go into Black churches and campaign for them to elect more of us. We will promise to make things better while things get worse. We will teach everyone that this is a rotten country and blacks can only be delivered if they vote more liberals in power. And if other groups come to this country, we will trap them in the same system. If they do not speak our language, we will promote education in their native tongue to discourage them from assimilating either. Maybe we can convince them they are victims too, expanding our voting base. Everyone who opposes us will be accused of being racist.

And after we have spread our death and misery, we will send a white liberal president to a Black community, like Harlem, to declare that he sympathizes with Blacks so much he considers himself to be the first Black president. How poetic is that?! The ultimate insult of how they will never rise to our level and they will see it as a compliment.

Yes, if I were a racist, I would definitely be a liberal!
