Biden warns blacks, “they gonna put y’all back in chains.”
More freedom, via less red-tape, translates as slavery. America is apparently so endemically prejudiced, “institutionally racist” some say, that minorities risk grave calamity without Washington’s muscular intervention. President Obama re-confirmed Biden as running-mate and refuses to repudiate him. Team Obama’s divisive message: Racist Republicans would thrust blacks back into bondage.
Rodney King once asked, “Can we all get along?” We’d do better without demagogues stoking racial animus through such incendiary ploys. Obama’s media surrogates dance too, regularly choreographing coverage to remind readers of an irredeemably racist country.
Recently, a church somewhere in rural Mississippi was plastered across the internet for refusing to marry blacks. Racism lingers it seems. Meanwhile, a huge black church in Chicago, which happened to spawn our president, spews hate regularly, yet reporters downplay this as a facet of black culture which whites dare not question.
Despite his decades-long dalliance with black racists, Obama received larger proportions of white votes than any Democrat since 1976. Artur Davis, former Democrat Congressman who switched sides, states, “But one would have to be blinkered to deny that Obama’s race in 2008 likely empowered him much more than it weakened him.”
But then Obama began governing. Democrats fleeing from his dismal record exaggerate racism instead. Insidious undertones aside, Romney hasn’t suggested rescinding civil rights or resurrecting slavery. Romney merely means to decelerate rapidly expanding entitlement outlays.
The entitlement state and identity politics exemplify an infamous marriage hitching voters to public freebies. It’s even chic to declaim that making people purchase their own contraceptives embodies a Republican “War on Women.” But, borrowing Robert Higgs’ metaphor, safety-nets ensnare their prey in webs of government bondage.
If blacks truly rely on government per Biden’s remarks, such programs must cease. Handouts destroy families rendering recipients into perpetual dependence. Family breakdown and cycles of generational poverty confirm the state’s reach should shrink even beyond budget pressures.
In our over – yes – over-served communities, where welfare recipients fashion food stamps instead of wages, character and vitality erode under an avalanche of “help.” Families, disproportionately colored, become shackled by chains of dependency. Taxpayers of every hue are being consigned to serfdom by debt and bureaucracy.
