For his part, the Reverend Meeks promises to keep the heat on Democrats, while encouraging white conservatives to become more aware of the issues facing minority residents subjected decades of liberal-progressive social engineering, "I wouldn't call us victims, nobody is a victim. But the Lord knows these Democrats have victimized us."

There's actually some sense in that senseless comment. The way I usually say it is that we can't win them over by burning them out of the plantation. Instead we need to lure and encourage them to leave willingly.

Excellent assessment. Take a page from the Republican northern industrialists, circa 1880-1920.

Before that era, most blacks were still in the south, working as sharecroppers or casual laborers. They were attracted to the cities and industries by better wages. Their exit inspired all sorts of Jim Crow laws (the kind libtards won't tell you about) which made it illegal to recruit blacks to move to the cities.

Word got around anyway and it didn't work. The fundamental difference needs to be making entry level jobs pay better than collecting a government check. For that to happen, it isn't so much that the minimum wage needs to be raised as the benefits of collecting a government check needs to be lowered and, with it, some enforcement against the tide of illegal immigration which drives down entry level wages.

lure and encourage them? In what way? Give more freebies? More affirmative actions? History alone should wake them up.

Republicans have always tried to help them...

The Republican Party was formed to stop the spread of slavery in 1854.

On May 22, 1856: For denouncing Democrats pro-slavery policy, Republican U.S. Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA) is beaten nearly to death on floor of Senate by U.S. Rep. Preston Brooks (D-SC), takes three years to recover.

January 31, 1865: 13th Amendment banning slavery passed by U.S. House with unanimous Republican support, intense Democrat opposition

Republican Party Support: 100%


Democratic Party Support: 23%

Who subjected them to the decades of it???? Themselves. Willingly.
