The Democratic Narrative Fails Again

Everywhere you look the Democratic narrative keeps breaking down. The latest example comes from the New York Times itself. We all know that the Republicans are racists right? And that there is no such thing as a black Republican, right? And those Tea Party people are nothing but angry racist white dudes, right? Hmm, then how do you explain this. . .?

The Democratic Party is a racist party. They were the party of slavery. They were the party of Jim Crow and of segregation and the Klan. They even managed to turn the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the law that looked to end the issue of race in America, into a racial spoils bill that acts like American Apartheid.

And like all hypocrites, they are very quick to tar others with their own sins. Thus, we are treated to an endless stream of lies about Republicans being racists. We’re told that the Republican Party is anti-black. We’re told that there are no black Republicans. And that those black Republicans who do exist are all dupes or “Uncle Toms” or “a disgrace to [their] race”. That’s why Clarence Thomas is so hated by the left, he doesn’t fit their narrative. That’s why Bush HHS Secretary Louis Sullivan was treated so disgracefully by racist liberals in the House.

That's why black columnist Bill Maxwell said that black Republicans are "mean-spirited self-loathers who rarely find anything positive to say about fellow blacks." And why Maureen Dowd said that black Republicans are "an oddity, useful only in enabling Republicans to make a perverse claim to diversity." How's that for blatant racism!

Well, now there is a new problem from the left. . . their narrative is broken: there are 32 black Americans running for the House of Representatives as Republicans. Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Arkansas, etc. All over the United States.

That’s only seven fewer than the total number of blacks in the Congress today.

What’s more, these aren’t blacks who are looking to get elected in black districts. Nor are they trying to live off a false legacy of a civil rights movement that betrayed its own objectives the very moment victory was in its grasp. These aren’t professional hustlers looking to milk the system. Nope. These are normal Americans. The horror!

These are people who are bright, accomplished, proud Americans who are concerned with the state of their country. Some are ex-military, some are business executives, some are elected officials. Many are members of the Tea Party, and they freely report that they never saw any evidence of the racist narrative the left tried to use to tar that movement. These are the very people the left tells us don’t exist.

I can’t say that each deserves to become the party nominee as I don’t know enough about them all. But I can say that if any sizable number of them do win House seats, the effects on the political landscape could be seismic. Indeed, this could be one of those moments that shatters the Democrat narrative permanently, a moment that even the most Kool-Aid drunk leftist will need to acknowledge.

Of course, the left isn’t happy about this. Said Donna Brazile, a former hack for Al Gore: "In 1994 and 2000, there were 24 black G.O.P. nominees, and you didn’t see many of them win their elections." Translation: “Don’t worry folks, the public is too racist to elect these people." Other Democrats have said the same thing. Even the NYT reporter reached this standard liberal-narrative conclusion:

Still, black Republicans face a double hurdle: black Democrats who are disinclined to back them in a general election, and incongruity with white Republicans, who sometimes do not welcome the blacks whom party officials claim to covet as new members.

In other words, Republicans are racists and won’t vote for them, and blacks don’t trust them because they’re Uncle Toms. . . I guess old habits die hard, especially at the NYT.

No matter what these leftists say, this is going to be an interesting election, and I wish these people well. I hope that they finally achieve what we should have achieved in the 1960s, breaking the color barrier, so that even Democrats must begin to judge others on the content of their characters, rather than the color of their skin.
