The majority of Black Americans today support the Democratic (Liberal) Party. The question I have for you is why? I asked myself that question five years ago. That question was brought about after listening to Rush Limbaugh everyday at work for several years. I shared an office with two conservatives, you can guess who had control of the radio.
In the beginning I tried to tune Rush out and I hated hearing his voice because I was influenced by the media into believing that he was a racist Republican mouth piece who only cared about the wealthy. Then I thought
what better way to combat the enemy then to get to know them. I began listening to him and realized that I agreed with most of what he was saying.
I began discovering the truth and we know what the truth does. "And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free". (John 8:32) I was free at last thank God almighty free at last, at least I thought I was.
The answer to the question I believe is the same answer most Black Americans would give. My parents and grandparents voted Democrat because they thought they had their best interest at heart, why would our ancestors and todays generation think that.
Most Black Americans are misinformed about the Civil Rights Act and Black voting history. The first 23 Black Congressmen were Republicans 13 were ex-slaves. Democrats tried to prevent the Civil Rights Act by voting against it by 100% of votes. Republican Edward Derkson is credited for the passage of the Civil Rights Act.
So was it the Civil Rights Act that made Blacks believe that Democrats has our best interest at heart. Maybe
the Democrats creating the KKK had something to do with it.
Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglas and W.E.B. Dubois are a few Black American leaders who voted Republican. Douglas once said the "Republican party is the ship all else is the sea".
When did Black Americans decide that the party that freed the slaves and passed the Civil Rights Act did not have our best interest at heart. When did they decide that the Democratic party which was made up of southern slave owners and pro-slavery supporters who voted against every Civil Rights Act proposed directly after slavery was the party who has our best interest in heart.
Once my family found out and I never actually hid it from anyone I was looked at as a uncle Tom. As a Conservative Christian I know that the Democratic Liberal party does not have my best interest at heart.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do not speak for me and are not my leaders. To name a few Thomas Sowell,
Mychal Massie, Shelby Steele, Bishop Eddie Long, JC Watts and Jesse Lee Peterson may speak for me.
The Democrats think that all there social programs like welfare is helping, it only breeds laziness and contentment with mediocrity generation after generation of families.
Hear me out fellow Black Americans, Democrats do not want you to succeed. They need you to stay poor and
uninformed, they need you to be dependent on them. They will never support programs that help you succeed and awaken from the dead. They want you blinded and will continue to use so called self appointed leaders like Sharpton and Jackson to keep you in line as victims.
Republicans want you to succeed and their support of programs such as school vouchers is an example.
Democrats do not support school vouchers that would give many poor Black families the chance to send
their children to a school of choice no matter the cost. Democrats do not support vouchers because of the large donations to them by the unions, does that sound like they have you and your childs best interest at heart
or are their pockets in their best interest.
