Desperate times call for desperate measures. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is desperate. He needs all the votes Nevadans can give him, and he’s not taking any chances. “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican,” said Reid in a campaign address, “Okay…do I need to say more?” In the Amos and Andy-Speedy Gonzales world of Jim Crow Democrats like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, minorities are bought-and-paid-for commodities. And like antebellum Southern house servants, should know their place.
Reid’s views on minorities should come as no surprise. He was only able to bring himself to support candidate Barack Obama because he was “light-skinned…with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” It’s difficult for Reid to get beyond his fond memories of minstrel shows from a bygone age.
Why would minorities continue to honor Democratic racism and condescension with their votes?
Professional race hustler Rev. Al Sharpton gave an insightful answer to Politco.com. “Senator Reid’s record provides a stark contrast to actions of Republicans to block legislation that would benefit poor and minority communities.” In other words, for communities trapped in the web of federal dependency, biting the hand that feeds you is not a wise move.
Reid and Pelosi would like to expand the weapon of big-government. Financial reform, stimulus and bailouts are geared to increase big-government control over the broader American landscape; doing for it what it has done for the crumbling inner city. The question should be: “Why would any freedom-loving American – rich, poor, Black, Hispanic or White – vote for a political party that holds power by turning large segments of society into desperate, needy and beholding voters?”
