Much of the Republican Party seems intent on committing hara kiri via fawning obeisance to Donald Trump. In spite of this party foolishness, it is baffling that most Black Americans remain loyal to the Democratic Party, which can’t seem to formulate a platform that doesn’t brutalize the Black community.
Who could come up with a worse systemic design than the union-prioritized, student-sacrificing public “educational” system designed fundamentally for the warehousing America’s inner-city children? Could the soulless scientific materialism that negates the innate value in children possibly to do more harm? Could the “liberal” attack on the nuclear family do more to crush morality, undermine children’s critical relationships, and do more to drive them into poverty?
Why would people exploit the tragedy of George Floyd by using it to justify hatred of police and charge them with serving White Supremacy? Why would the Left rally around the slogans for defunding the police? Who has been hurt by the demoralization of the police? Who has been hurt by the acceleration of police retirements? Who has been hurt by the growing hesitancy among police to become involved in dangerous law enforcement events? Who are these conflict entrepreneurs? According to the Mapping Police Violence project, police killed 249 Black Americans in 2020, which amounts to just 1.8% of the year’s 13,654 Black homicide victims. Excessive use of force by police is a real problem, and one that weighs heavily on younger Black men. But if police presence reduces violent crime, and the evidence that it does is reasonably strong, then the lack of police poses far greater risks to Black men in their teens through early 40s than the police do.

Is the welfare society promoted by the Democratic party really a source of relief, or is it a powerful opiate injected into America’s poorest neighborhoods? What has been made clear by Phil Gramm and John Early is that the poorest 20% of America’s population is living on roughly the same income as the middle 20% of America’s population and, yet, the former group remains immeasurably poorer. Why? Because lack of work, lack of skills, and lack of discipline lead to idleness, which finds expression in despondency and bitterness. Out of despondency and bitterness come various forms of self-harming escapism, and violence. These, along with dependency, work to break down of the family which, in turn, creates broken ghetto societies. America’s Apartheid has not been created by redlining, but by the overreach of centralized ideology and the nanny State.
Add to these eviscerating pressures the Democratic promotion of abortion, which is applied to unborn Blacks at a rate four times that of the general population, and it becomes clear that the Democratic Party is bad news for America’s Blacks (even while this news rarely seems to make the news). The Democratic Party gushes ad nauseam about its love for Black people (and all the “downtrodden”), even as its policies prove that it hates them. As Jason Riley so kindly put it: “Please Stop Helping Us.”
