The Party of Racism, Prejudice, and Bias

Jasmine Crockett accuses the GOP, Donald Trump, or GOP lawmakers of racism, seemingly every other time she speaks. Moreover, during Trump’s entire first term and now since his re-election, the fakestream media asserts that the Trump administration is racist.

These are the same editors and broadcasters who claimed that Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia. Following Robert Mueller’s self-destruction in prime time, The New York Times executive editor, Dean Baquet, finally figured out that three years of intentionally lying to Times readers was long enough.

The nano-second that the Mueller Report went up in flames, Baquet focused on a new pursuit. "We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet proclaimed with profound idiocy. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.” The ‘newspaper of record’ would now highlight Donald Trump’s racism and that of America in general.

Piling on the Myths

Leftist control +90% of U.S. media when one includes major newspapers, television, the Internet giants, and book and magazine publishing. The Left also dominates popular culture, Hollywood, and, sadly, our public schools.

The long-enduring Leftist myth propagated today by the likes of Jasmine Crockett is that the entire GOP is racist. Democrats uphold this myth knowing that John Q. Citizen is concerned with bread and butter issues, not with political machinations. When Joe Biden told the Charlottesville “fine people” fib at virtually every campaign appearance, despite clear video footage refuting his claim, most Left-leaners believed him and many still do.

A quick review of American history, nonetheless, reveals that it is the Democrat Party which has and continues to display unflinching racist views and behavior. Before the Civil War, and for 27 months after the Emancipation Proclamation, who in the U.S. owned slaves? Democrats. Republicans in general did not.

Consider the Confederate States of America. Was it formed by Republicans or Southern Democrats? John Wilkes Booth, a renowned actor, murdered Abraham Lincoln who was only days into to his second term. Wilkes, while not a Democrat, was very sympathetic to the Democrat’s opposition to Lincoln.

Hampering the Dream                        

Who murdered President John F. Kennedy, our 36th president? The release of thousands of JFK files thus far has not refuted that Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own, was the murderer. Oswald viewed communism favorably and personally espoused Marxist rhetoric. This is highlighted in detail by Gerald Posner in his 1993 book Case Closed. After featuring Posner’s book in a 24-page spread, U.S. News & World Report emphatically noted it would no longer review any other books on the assassination because the case, indeed, was now closed.

What about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? A segregationist, James Earl Ray, assassinated MLK in Memphis on April 4, 1968, and then fled to England, though he was eventually captured.

In summary, the assassins of Lincoln, Kennedy, and King were all Leftists. These three leaders, each of whom had great potential for accelerating rights civil, were murdered in their primes.

An Un-proud History

Largely throughout the South, nearly 3,500 African Americans and 1,300 white sympathizers were lynched in the U.S. between 1882 and 1968, with the peak occurring in the 1890s, when one party vehemently enforced white supremacy. Which party? Democrats.

Who launched the Ku Klux Klan? Politifacts reports: “Back in the mid-19th century, various Klans in the South acted as a ‘strong arm’ for many local Democratic politicians...” A Confederate general, “believed to be the KKK’s first Grand Dragon even spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention.” Democrats didn’t create the KKK, but they sure played along.

Who quashed and delayed women's suffrage, for nearly 80 years? At each critical juncture, it was Democrats.

Who supported segregation in the early 1900s, during World War II, and into the 1950s and 1960s? Democrats. Who posted signs that said, "Colored drinking fountain," or, "Colored bathroom?" Democrats. Does such history elude Ms. Crockett?  

Who stood at the doorway of high schools and colleges to bar African-Americans from attending? Democrats. Who interned Japanese American citizens for three years during World War II? President Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat.

Racism, Bias, and Prejudice All from Democrats

To this day, who castigates blacks who deign to vote as they wish and not toe the Democrat party line? Malcolm X once said, “Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party.” What prompted him to make such a statement?

Since our founding, Democrats have displayed their racism, prejudice, and bias, yet which party is continually cast as racist? So, Ms. Crockett, Republicans may not have always acted impeccably but they can’t hold a candle to Democrat racism, prejudice, and bias.
