Texas Congressional Redistricting: Democrats Still as Racist as Ever
Flashback: Before the Civil War, slave owners favored the “doctrine of paternalism,” justifying slavery as “responsible dominion over a less fortunate, less evolved people.” In other words, the White elites contended it was their responsibility to take care of sub-humans unable to survive on their own merits.
The Democrat party nominated pro-slavery presidential candidates, and tried repealing the Missouri Compromise, in order to spread slavery into newly-forming western territories.
After the Civil War, White Leagues terrorized newly-freed slaves into abandoning the Republican party, restoring Democratic control of the South.
Today’s Democratic racism has a friendlier face, but the same outcome: segregation. For example, Democrats brought suit against the Texas legislature’s congressional redistricting map by playing the race card.
“It’s just offensive to see [minorities] responsible for the population growth be denied representation,” said Ed Martin, former executive director of the Texas Democratic Party…
Last week, a federal court presented their own map, which was praised by Democratic race-based activists.
Nina Perales, vice president for litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and an attorney in the San Antonio case, said the new maps will provide opportunities for more minorities in Congress…
The problem is that race-based representation creates ghettos so that those people are motivated to remain within their congressional districts. This makes a sick sort of sense, since my own experience in White liberal enclaves indicates their desire to keep those people out of White neighborhoods.
Last Friday, after filing his emergency stay to halt implementation, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott noted:
“A court’s job is to apply the law, not to make policy. A federal court lacks constitutional authority to interfere with the expressed will of the state Legislature unless it is compelled to remedy a specific, identifiable violation of law.”
Because of its “history of racial discrimination,” Texas needs federal approval to implement new congressional districts.
Black leaders played into Democrats’ desire to recreate separate-but-equal policy:
In its own filing Friday, the NAACP cheered the court-drawn interim map as a “step forward for Texas.” The group said it, “recognizes the growth of the minority population and takes significant steps toward remedying some of the startling lack of proportionality in the prior plans.”
In 2008, Blacks voted 95%, and Latinos 67%, for Obama. Blacks voted 93%, and Latinos 68%, Democrat in federal House races. In 2010, Blacks voted 89% Democrat, and Latinos 60%.
The NAACP doesn’t want its members to be Americans, but remain a Democrat special interest group. And while implying the Texas legislature’s racism, the NAACP has no problem using racism to promote its agenda.
The New York Times offers more evidence of Democrats’ modern-day, racist paternalism: They plan to re-elect Obama by abandoning the “White working class” and focusing on a coalition of “well-educated socially liberal Whites” (e.g. college professors, lawyers, teachers) and “a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.”
Thus we come full circle, beginning with White, Democrat, elite slave owners in dominion over non-Whites allegedly incapable of surviving on their own merits, and ending with White, Democrat, “well-educated” Whites in dominion over non-Whites who allegedly remain incapable of succeeding on their own merits.
Democrats’ racist doctrine sees immigrants as political pawns in their quest for power, and doesn’t want these immigrants to become Americans, but to remain dependents on the Democrats’ plantation.
Welcome to the segregation of America, courtesy of the Democrat party…again.
Again I fail to see how congressional districts compel individual real estate or rental decisions. Tell that to the many people of color who will still move to exurbs despite the presence of an “unsymphatetic” US representative. You can make an argument for local governments and compositions of respective City and town councils (e.g. sanctuary cities, willingness to zone Section 8 housing,for example).
You also have to see Lamar Smith’s line of reasoning in not being a voracious pursuer of additional R districts. Districts are trade chips to hispanic politicians in exchange for their willingness to go along with his dogged pursuit of E-verify and other pro-security pro-enforcement measures. Its an acceptable tradeoff knowing that success will result in at worst a static number of hispanic politicians (e.g. Italians/Jewish reps in NY) or a gradual decline so long as measures begin to take their intended and unintended effects.
Really? How about some citations regarding suburban demographic shifts. The biggest racist outcomes happen in liberal white enclaves. I’ve seen it.
They should sue Massachusetts whose 12 member congressional delegation is 100% white.
But their all Dems, so fat chance. However, your point highlights the paternalism that is the end-game for Dem racism.
Congressional districts have congressional representatives. They make decisions on how federal money is spent. Some of that federal money is spend on programs that preferentially help one race over another.
A district whose representative is a particular ethnicity, may steer spending that provides preferential treatment for that particular to his district. This creates a ‘plantation’ where people of that particular ethnicity have advantages, and people of other ethnicity have disadvantages. These advantages become known, and attract others from outside the district. The disadvantages also become known, and people of other ethnicity leave the district, for a location where their wages are higher, their school children are treated better.
I lived in one district where ex-cons on probation were quite simply not allowed. When my roommate reported to his probation officer, he was told to move, or be re-arrested. A real estate investor had decided to buy up the area, and coordinated new rules, and HUD policies derived from his desire to drive renters away from a given ‘blighted’ area until he bought it and gave it his healing touch.
Good application of logic. You must not be a modern liberal.
I thought that Brown vs the Board Of Education was supposed to erase segregation not enhance it. But then again I could be wrong. I guess when it comes to DemocRATs nothing is against the law, just for Republicans.
Were that so. The decision on Brown v. Board of Education was itself inherently political and it did nothing about ending segregation. If anything, it along with forced busing exacerbated segregation. The effects of both are still prevalent to this day.
The entire existence of the Democrat Party is based on several loathsome concepts, and one of them is identity politics. Democrats do not think of African-Americans, women, Hispanics, or any other so-called “group” as anything but voting blocs for the Democrat Party. I get their idiotic mail campaigns because they assume I vote either as a “woman” (in quotes to identify me as a ‘minority,” even though women as the majority, and the Dems believe women vote for Dems because Dems will represent their interests — as if Nancy Pelosi and I have anything in common but Italian ancestry and gender) or as an “ethnic” Italian. Little do they know or care that I am a proud, unapologetic American conservative who supports our staunchest ally, Israel. That doesn’t compute in the Dems’ computers when they see my name and my zip code. I’m only to happy to return their prepaid fundraising envelopes to them empty or with a few choice words of what I think of their party, but lacking the check they ridiculously expect or even hope I will send them. When hell freezes over.

I’ve heard a couple alternatives to returning the envelop empty:
1. Send them a money order for two cents. They’re supposed to comply with the law on how they process the money order and the labor cost will be far more than your contribution.
2. Attach the prepaid envelop to something heavy, such as a brick, and let them pay the postage.
