African Americans know exactly why and what they’re voting for when it comes time to go into the ballot box. For HOUSE-NEGRO Herman Cain to say they have been brainwashed into picking the democratic candidates is brainless psycho-talk — Ed Shultz, MSNBC Host.

Here are a few reasons why African Americans choose to align with the Democrats and not Republicans:

1. Almost 17% of African Americans are unemployed. Democrats are in favor of extending unemployment benefits while Republicans say unemployment benefits just make people lazy [READ: THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING "OUR WHITES ONLY" COUNTRY AWAY].

2. Democrats are in favor of affirmative action while Republicans call it reverse discrimination.

3. Republicans are actively working against the best interests of many African Americans, and they’re not hiding their agenda a bit. For instance, Florida governor Rick Scott cut funding to historically black colleges in his state while Mississippi governor Haley Barbour refused to condemn a license plate honoring a KKK leader and Paula Page, governor of Maine, told the NAACP to, “kiss my butt.”

Additionally, the wave of voter laws sweeping up Republican controlled states — is aimed squarely at black and other minority voters. Voter suppression is a preferred tool — which Republicans have used successfully since paranoid, anti-black racist — President Richard Nixon “invented” the Southern Strategy.

4. The racist ramblings of the chief Republican party radio mouth piece, Rush Limbaugh and his underlings are legendary. The Republican party has decided that aligning themselves with the issues that affect black people is no longer in their best interest [ READ: SOUTHERN STRATEGY ]. They have decided to embrace the buffoonery and insipid hatred spread by men like Rush Limbaugh, instead of standing up and speaking out against his ignorance. They have taken up to supporting crazy conservative ideals like baring arms, supporting the military-industrial complex, expanding incarceration of blacks [ READ: THE NEW JIM CROW ] and harsh anti-immigration reform.

5. The Republican Party aided by its extreme right faction — the tea party, has mastered tactics previously employed by fascists: use of ‘tea party‘ street mobs, hysterics and lies to distract and confuse the public. In doing so, their weapon of choice is race-baiting and filthy anti Obama theatrics.

3. Why Minorities Don’t Vote Republican — Minorities are not going to listen to Republicans on taxes, terrorism, or immigration when they give them so many reasons to believe their traditions, cultures, and identities are not valued.

4. Blacks & The Republican Party — The question has always been wrong. The question IS NOT how come the blacks only vote for Democrats? The REAL QUESTION continues to be what CHANGED in the Republican Party to completely ALIENATE blacks from the party they SWORE allegiance to? When Republicans ask the first question it is ONLY a subterfuge for avoiding the second question.

NOTES:

1. The Tea Party, Right-Wing Media, And The Dog That Didn’t Bark

Huffington Post: From anti-lynching and civil rights bills in the 50s and 60s, it was “the party of Lincoln” that used the rhetorical cover of “states rights” to hold minorities down. Of course a rare species then known as Southern Democratic senators joined in, but as any student of the 1957, 1964 and 1965 civil rights laws knows, a large majority of Democrats voted yes and a large majority of Republicans voted no.

The consequent rise of minority voting and representation — and laws against discrimination in the workplace, coupled with affirmative action — have changed the face of America…to the point that even President George W. Bush had to support extending the 1965 voting rights Act in 2005. [ READ MORE ]

HuffingtonPost: AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas State Board of Education adopted a social studies and history curriculum Friday that amends or waters down the teaching of religious freedoms, America’s relationship with the U.N. and hundreds of other items. The ideological debate over the guidelines, which drew intense scrutiny beyond Texas, will be used to determine what important political events and figures some 4.8 million students will learn about for the next decade. [ READ MORE ]

Textbook changes to school curriculum will follow, and since Texas is the largest purchaser of school books in the country, the state therefore has financial clout in the publishing business — and is set to influence the rest of the country — in propagating right-wing racism and mis-information.

————————————————————————
Highlights of the prejudiced and racist right-wing changes are:
————————————————————————

1.   Public students in Texas will now be required to “evaluate” efforts by global organizations such as the United Nations to “undermine U.S. sovereignty.” The UN’s funding for international humanitarian relief and environmental initiatives will now be portrayed as threats to individual freedom and U.S. sovereignty.

2.   The board will require students to explain the roles of “Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority, and the National Rifle Association.” — Phyllis McAlpin Stewart Schlafly is racist conservative political activist and constitutional attorney known for her opposition to feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment. The Heritage Foundation is racist right-wing “think-tank,” established by Joseph Coors in 1974. Heritage is infested with anti-semite, pro-nazi, Aryan supremacists who seek to abolish civil rights laws, minimum wage laws, affirmative action, rights for the handicapped, arms control — and to deport every single non-white immigrant from the United States!. Joseph Coors was the grandson of Adolph Coors and president of Coors Brewing Company. I have always had serious misgivings about skunky “coors light” beer, never tasted it before — now I know why!

The Moral Majority — The Moral Majority was a political organization which had an agenda of evangelical Christian-oriented political lobbying. It was founded in 1979 and dissolved in the late 1980s. It’s origins can be traced to 1976 when Jerry Falwell embarked on a series of “I Love America” rallies across the country to raise awareness of social issues important to Falwell. These rallies were an extension of Falwell’s decision to go against the traditional Baptist principle of separating religion and politics, a change of heart Falwell says he had when he perceived the decay of the nation’s morality. Through hosting these rallies, Falwell was able to gauge national support for a formal organization and also raise his profile as a leader. Having already been a part of a well-established network of ministers and ministries, within a few years Falwell was favorably positioned to launch the Moral Majority. [ READ MORE ]

The now dead Falwell, was one of the biggest religious bigots while alive. His followers are the evangelical Republicans behind “Kill The Gays” law in Uganda, East Africa. Their racist-bigot empire was and is still vast.

The Contract with America was a document released by the United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign. Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxon, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan’s 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract’s policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation — the conservative think tank.

Republicans were elected to a majority of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1953, and several parts of the Contract were enacted. Some elements did not pass in Congress, while others were vetoed by, or substantially altered in negotiations with President Bill Clinton, who would later sarcastically refer to it as the “Contract on America.”

The leader of the group, Newt Gingrich — ended up being kicked out of the speaker’s chair, and has never held any elective office since, but has maintained a high profile — lying frequently while applauding the current political stunts that House Republicans have been engaging in.

Gingrich is a serial-womanizer, a hardcore racist and shameless liar — as documented variously on this blog. The bum has a split personality — part racist bomb thrower, part statesman, and part tea-bagger.

The National Rifle Association is the custodian of “gun-sucking” bigot America, who hysterically oppose controls that are indistinguishable from those they readily accept as applied to automobiles. Lunatics who anticipate a “future” race war — with blacks and browns, I suppose. Don B. Kates, Jr. demolishes their bigoted rationale in his article: Bigotry, Symbolism and Ideology in the Battle over Gun Control.

3.   The whitewashing of slavery in textbooks: The board renamed “Slavery” — “Atlantic Triangular Trade,” Whitewashing the genocidal, disgusting and perverted practice and leveling the trade of people to rum and sugar, says the DC Skeptics blog.

4.   Ronald Reagan, the greatest PR swindle in the history of mankind, has been added to a list of “great Americans,” while country music, but not hip hop, can be described as an important cultural movement. The board’s five Democrats objected to the Republican call to include President Barack Obama’s second name of Hussein — obviously a stealth attempt to de-legitimize him as an un-American Muslim!

5.   Note: Last year, conservatives on the board changed the science curriculum to downplay the teaching of evolution and the Big Bang theory.

Two Right-Wing Idiots (Kirk Cameron & Ray Comfort) Try To Convince You That God Created a Banana! LOL!

…And Here The Two Thieves “Debunk” Darwin’s Theory of Evolution For The Benefit of Their Pockets

Deluded Morons, drunk with “Jesus” — Help This sickness Mr Dawkins! LOL!

…or even better — exorcise them brother …afriqueonline!

6.   Senator Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist witch hunt in the 1950s, will be watered down. Joe McCarthy was a scumbag for the ages. Much like “Tea-Partyism,” McCarthyism was the political action of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence; Reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries — exactly what the current tea-baggers are doing to the Obama administration.

Essentially, young American students will learn more about the virtues of free enterprise, Biblical values and the Confederacy’s RACIST cause, and less about slavery and civil rights. They will learn less about how brutal, barbaric criminal Anglos nearly wiped out indigenous Indians, stole half of Mexico and viciously used free African labor to sustain a plantation economy in the south.

They want the Saturday market-place lynchings of Africans be erased off the history books. These racist Republican goons are determined to deny future generations of young Americans the knowledge of America’s bloody and sordid past — hence mold them into mindless Republican sheep and racist goon-bags, like Sarah Palin and Rand Paul — hungry and ready to lynch again without the “heavy burden” of their forefather’s despicable deeds!

MediaMatters: Last week (and this week) was a big week for fearmongering about illegal immigration.

If you’ve been living under a rock, you may have missed the news that Arizona passed a controversial new immigration law — considered to be the toughest in the nation (and the most draconian) — requiring law enforcement to investigate the immigration status of anyone they come in contact with through the normal course of their duties if they reasonably suspect them of being in the country illegally. This led legal and law enforcement experts to raise concerns that the law will lead to racial profiling, and it prompted former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough to call the law “un-American.” [ READ MORE ]

Glenn Beck: “Nobel Peace Prize should be turned down by Barack Obama and given … to the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project.”

Rush Limbaugh: “Something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn’t deserve the award.”

Bill Kristol suggested that Obama will be defeated in 2012, because Mikhail Gorbachev won a Nobel Peace Prize, and the Soviet Union collapsed a year later.

Some radio thug suggested that it was an “Affirmative Action” award.

“I think the Nobel Committee couldn’t vote in our election in 2008, so they decided to vote this year,” said Bush GOON John Bolton, who served as ambassador to the U.N. under Bush. “It’s high-minded Europeans talking down to hayseed Americans, saying this is the way you ought to be.”

—————————————————————————————-

French President Nicholas Sarkozy: “The award marks America’s return to the heart of the people of the world.” That deserves a prize. Thorbjorn Jagland, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, defended the decision. “The question we have to ask is who has done the most in the previous year to enhance peace in the world,” Jagland said. “Who has done more than Barack Obama?“

MediaMatters: Reminiscent of the Friday Freakout that followed the glorious news that Chicago, and the United States, had been denied the honor of hosing the Summer Olympic Games (Hallelujah!), the same Obama-hating voices in the right-wing media are outraged that the President of the United States has won the Nobel Prize. In other words, Obama/America loses = good. Obama/America wins = bad. [ READ MORE ] [ READ MORE [2] ]

Limbaugh: “We all agree with the Taliban and Iran” that Obama does not deserve Nobel

In his latest rant Dick Morris fear-mongers: “Europe wants to reverse the American Revolution and re-colonize us and it sees in Obama a kindred spirit willing to do its bidding.” “……All this heavy lifting, this conversion of America into a European state, deserves a reward. And what is a more fitting one than to give Obama than the Nobel Peace Prize? He obviously doesn’t deserve the award for economics or, given his health care ideas, for medicine. But the Peace Prize expresses Europe’s longing: to take back the nation its overly ambitious and uppity children founded.”
