Black America's 'Stockholm Syndrome'

When Kanye West recently suggested that African-Americans didn’t need to be Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters quickly tried to put him in his place. Waters told Kanye, in effect, that he needs permission -- from his betters, presumably -- to say what he believes. In other words, don’t talk out of turn; follow the thinking of the group. She sounded like a plantation manager of old, insisting that everyone else follow the rules she and other black Democratic leaders set down for “their” people.

All Americans today are reaping the benefits of the Trump administration’s economic policies. Employment is at an all-time high; black and Hispanic unemployment is at record lows. December’s tax cuts doubled the tax credits for school-age children and raised take-home pay for nearly all American taxpayers. Incomes have risen in real terms for the first time in 18 years, tax refunds next year that will be substantially larger, 2 million-plus poor Americans are no longer on food stamps.

This has been achieved by the GOP, which was founded in 1854 as the anti-slavery party. What’s more, most states with Republican governors are outperforming so-called blue states — those run by Democrats. No matter what the color of your skin happens to be, economic opportunity comes from freedom, not higher taxes and big government.

Meanwhile, the economic fallout from group thinking can be seen in every major city in America, where the plantation supervisors are still channeling the failed oppressors’ spirit upon the minds of the weak. It’s long past time that black America shake off the plantation manager’s yoke and shake off its Stockholm syndrome. Groupthink has gotten this group nowhere.

Maxine Waters is a gift that keeps giving.

The democrats need more spokemen like Maxine Water to illuminate the american public about how morally bankrupt that party is.
