When hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their prey. They would synchronize their steps on the side of the horse away from their prey until they were close enough for a good shot. A stalking horse had a double benefit if the prey was an armed person. If the stalkers were discovered, it would be the horse that took the first shot. That's what blacks are to liberals and progressives in their efforts to transform America -- stalking horses. Let's look at it.
I'll just list a few pieces of the leftist agenda that would be unachievable without black political support. Black people are the major victims of the grossly rotten education in our big-city schools. The average black 12th-grader can read, write and compute no better than a white seventh- or eighth-grader. Many black parents want better and safer schools for their children. According to a 2015 survey of black parents, 72 percent "favor public charter schools, and 70 percent favor a system that would create vouchers parents could use to cover tuition for those who want to enroll their children in a private or parochial school." Black politicians and civil rights organizations fight tooth and nail against charter schools and education vouchers. Why? The National Education Association sees charters and vouchers as a threat to its education monopoly. It is able to use black politicians and civil rights organizations as stalking horses in its fight to protect its education monopoly.
The Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 was the nation's first federally mandated minimum wage law. Its explicit intent was to discriminate against black construction workers. During the legislative debate on the Davis-Bacon Act, quite a few congressmen, along with union leaders, expressed their racist intentions. Rep. Miles Allgood, D-Ala., said: "Reference has been made to a contractor from Alabama who went to New York with bootleg labor. This is a fact. That contractor has cheap colored labor that he transports, and he puts them in cabins, and it is labor of that sort that is in competition with white labor throughout the country." American Federation of Labor President William Green said, "Colored labor is being sought to demoralize wage rates."
The Davis-Bacon Act is still law today. Supporters do not use the 1931 racist language to support it. Plus, nearly every black member of Congress supports the Davis-Bacon Act. But that does not change its racially discriminatory effects. In recent decades, the Davis-Bacon Act has been challenged, and it has prevailed. That would not be the case without unions' political and financial support to black members of Congress to secure their votes.
Crime is a major problem in many black neighborhoods. In 2016, there were close to 8,000 blacks murdered, mostly by other blacks. In that year, 233 blacks were killed by police. Which deaths receive the most attention from politicians, civil rights groups and white liberals and bring out marches, demonstrations and political pontification? It's the blacks killed by police. There's little protest against the horrible and dangerous conditions under which many poor and law-abiding black people must live. Political hustlers blame their condition on poverty and racism -- ignoring the fact that poverty and racism were much greater yesteryear when there was not nearly the same amount of chaos. Also ignored is the fact that the dangerous living conditions worsened under a black president's administration.
There are several recommendations that I might make. The first and most important is that black Americans stop being useful tools for the leftist hate-America agenda. As for black politicians and civil rights leaders, if they're going to sell their people down the river, they should demand a higher price. For example, if black congressmen vote in support of the Davis-Bacon Act, they ought to demand that construction unions give 30 percent of the jobs to black workers. Finally, many black problems are exacerbated by white liberal guilt. White liberals ought to stop feeling guilty so that they can be more respectful in their relationships with black Americans.
I believe over the past couple of years we have seen a small but noticeable separation between blacktivists and rich white libs; the former seem to be realizing things have only worsened under the guidance of the latter.
I forgot who, but ever since this person pointed out that we talk about black people like they’re pets it’s really stuck with me.
Read these articles, and look at the way that the black is regarded in the US.
Even look at these sentences I have typed.
I wonder, in this case, which came first - the chicken or the egg ?
There is no push for the common good. That’s for sure.
Excellent analogy.
Libs use them for “cannon fodder” and treat them like cattle.
The insanity brought on by liberalism cannot be overstated.
Minimum wage is a job killer.
We need five things to save our nation.
1. End minimum wage
2. End welfare
3. End income taxes
4. Return education to the local level
5. Make public employee unions illegal
Minimum wages destroys jobs.
Welfare destroys individuals
Income taxes allow the government to do things it has no business doing
Federal Government control over education has been a failure
Public employees have split loyalties if they are in a union.
Most?Many?
Many black parents don’t really give a damn about education of obnoxious by products of sex
Therw might be be an NAACP, SPLC, BLM, DNC Law Suit resulting from the Connection of Blacks yo Stalking Horses.
Republicans, of which I have always been one, believe that blacks can achieve at the same level as whites if the opportunities are colorblind. Then blacks will try harder to make the grade, I believe.
As true as this may not goingbe Blacks will never get off the Democrat plantation because their own black leaders are slaves to the Dems also. Its a perpetual cycle.
Walter E. Williams is a national treasure, and should be required reading in high school.
“we talk about black people like they’re pets”
I’d say more like feral cats. They’re out of control, they are a pain in the butt to some folks, other people feel sorry for them and feed them; they breed continually and the males disown thier families and move on.
I ordered one of each from Amazon. I'll let you know.
