There is supposedly no progress in racial relations over the last fifty years. This is pure nonsense. We elected a black man president of the United States twice. That was an absurd thought back in the sixties. The idea that all men are created equal is more true today than when those words were penned by that awful slave owner. Our founders knew that phrase would have huge ramifications on all men including slaves. Washington, Jefferson, and many others were born at a time when slavery was being abandoned by western culture. Slavery would have died in the U.S. too. But in man’s impatient wisdom 620,000 souls had to perish in a brutal civil war. Men of that era grew up in families that owned slaves. Washington inherited ten slaves at eleven years old. He and his peers grew up at a time that owning slaves was common practice. For thousands of years slavery was just a natural part of life on planet earth. It takes years to change a system that you grew up believing was normal. So thoughts about the lawfulness of slavery took years to evolve. It was pure Christianity and western adherence to natural law that made freedom for the slave possible. Today the Communist influenced hippie slob generation became an easy target for the democratic party. Politics after all is about staying in power. Lyndon Johnson not only took credit for the civil rights movement but have for years done a fine job of racial division. Blacks have been happy pawns of the democrats for years. Never mind that abortion clinics were placed where blacks had easy access. Along with Medicaid, government housing, food stamps, and other programs in the war on poverty, the black community along with the young have been corralled in state programs and allowed the democrats to maintain and expand their strangle hold on a large part of the voting public. Medicare gave democrats control of the elderly and government handouts gave them control of the poor. Power corrupts the morals and the judgment. If democrats really cared about blacks they would give Bill Cosby the same consideration they give Bill Clinton. Their problem with Donald Trump is that he is a member of a fraternity the left has demonized, that being the white male. In fact, Mr. Trump is not only white, he isn’t a wimpy white. He likes women. He believes in what he says. In short, he is a type A white male which is anathema to leftist thugs. Democracy is mob rule; all you need is 51% to crush your opposition. That is why the U.S. is a republic; it makes it harder for the mobs to destroy the little people.
