Black Friends: Please Wake Up

By Marilyn M. Barnewall
News With Views

“It (self-esteem) cannot be replaced by one’s power to deceive.  The self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological universe.  The success of a man who deals with reality augments his self-confidence.  The success of a con man augments his panic.”  John Galt, Ayn Rand’s hero in Atlas Shrugged.

The news the past few days has been about Donald Trump’s supposed verbiage used to describe nations known by all civilized societies to be hell holes.  The President theoretically used a different word… but I wouldn’t believe anything Democrat Senator Durbin from Illinois said if my life depended on it.
There were six members of Congress in the room.  Dick Durbin is the only one who heard President Trump say “s**t holes.”   I find it interesting that Durbin had nothing to say about Barrack Obama when he called Libya a “s**t show.”  There is evidently a difference in Durbin’s mind between a “s**t hole” and a “s**t show.”
In this instance, Donald Trump is the realist to whom John Galt refers; Dick Durbin is the con man… and panic motivates this kind of behavior, as Rand’s John Galt said it would.
The fact is, Trump is right in his assessment.  And it has nothing to do with race.  It has everything to do with poverty, dependency, violence, poor health, and the drain the natives of hell holes place on our economy when millions of them enter our country illegally every year.
If one seeks truth, one cannot ignore a significant fact about which no one speaks.  It is this:  All of the nations of the world being invaded are white-dominated societies; all of the invaders are non-whites.  If that simple fact makes me a racist, so be it.  It makes the fact racist, too.
A second fact is this:  The only race of people in history that has consistently avoided or quickly thrown off the bonds of slavery is the white race.  This may lead you to recognize a third fact.
That third fact is this:  It is a distinct possibility that the reason all white nations on this planet are being invaded by non-white populations is not because the invaders are in any way inferior.  Nor is the invasion of white worlds occurring because corrupt politicians worldwide want to hold out a compassionate hand to those in need.  It’s quite possible the invasion is because as long as whites dominate by number any nation, it is impossible to enslave that nation.  And the world government theme is based on precisely that:  enslaving the labor class to serve an elitist class… the planned oligarchy.  History tells us that non-whites do not defend against slavery as determinedly as whites do.  It’s as simple as that.  Pick up a history book and check it out.
Over the years, I have learned that when progressive liberals flood the front pages of the liberal media with flashy, sexy, divide and conquer headlines, it is because they are hiding what is really occurring.
What you are hearing about Donald Trump calling some nations “s**t holes” really has no significance relative to what is really going on.  The Democrats have no issue on which they can win an election and their issue has become telling any lie they can about President Donald Trump and finding every way they can to play the race card.  It’s all they have… and it is a deplorable card to play.
Think about some inconvenient facts with which liberal progressives are now wrestling… a very difficult conflict.  Answer these questions:
1.     On whom do Democrats rely to win elections at both the state and federal level?  Answer:  Black people.

2.     To whom is the Democrat Party now giving all of its attention?  Answer:  Illegal aliens, most of whom are Hispanic.

If there is any way to support illegal aliens, progressive liberals are for it… from no wall, to an international lottery which lets nations with societies that are the hell holes send the worst of their problem makers to America, to making the “Dreamers” (DACA) sound like the most honorable and hard-working people in the world.  To hear Democrats talk about those who come to America illegally is to hear them talk about how they are serving in our military to protect America.  There are some who do and they are to be commended above and beyond the normal “thank you for your service” statements that are sincerely given by civilians to members of our military.
The fact is:  Only 7/10ths of one percent of non-Americans serve in our military.  So when you hear Democrats make it sound like half of our military personnel are illegal aliens, it’s a huge lie… excrement from male cattle.  The fact is, 21 percent of those behind bars in federal prisons are illegals.  Many are anything but contributors to American society.
3.     The above facts create a problem for Democrat liberals and progressives.  They are giving full attention and support to those who are Hispanic, illegals who cannot vote, and are ignoring their Black constituents on whom they depend to win elections.  Oops.
What startles me is that the Black population is allowing itself to be drawn into this political conflict of interest.  Those they elect to support Black communities support illegal aliens who cannot vote (legally, at any rate) and are ignoring those who can and on whom they rely to win elections.  It’s not the smartest strategy in the world and Republicans have an opportunity to play the race card against the Democrats (if they’re smart enough to know how without offending people).

Within the first year of Barrack Obama’s presidency, the Black unemployment rate hit 16.8% and it stayed high during his entire administration.

In the first 8 months of the Trump Presidency, Black unemployment is down to 6.8 percent, its lowest level in many years.

Black family income fell by more than $900 a year under Obama.  Within just 8 months of Trump’s presidency, Black family income is up more than $1,000 – that is a $1,900 per family net turn-around.

Will our Black population wake up, open its eyes and realize that Democrats are abusing them by favoring illegal aliens?  Democrat abuse usually comes in the form of making promises that are lies and then ignoring them – but this is more apparent and it is worse.

Who is taking jobs away from Blacks?  Why, it’s none other than the same people white workers have complained are taking jobs from them:  Illegal Hispanic aliens.

It was made pretty clear on Laura Ingraham’s radio show last week when Black men from Chicago, Atlanta and a few other large cities called to complain that jobs normally filled by Black men are now being filled by lower-paid illegal aliens.

Democrats evidently believe the most effective way to keep Black eyes on Donald Trump as the racist problem rather than Democrat policies is to invent ways to call the President a racist and to tell their Black constituents that the President is insulting nations with Black populations… like Haiti, Sudan, Somalia, and El Salvador.  Here are some stats from those nations. published by Laura Ingraham on her Fox News broadcast last Friday:

El Salvador
Its capitol has the highest murder rate in the world;
Cities and towns are among the most dangerous on the planet;
40”% of migrants deported from the US were fleeing violence;
Somalia
5.5 million people are at risk of getting cholera;
Is a safe haven for terrorists;
ISIS has established a faction there;
Is one of the largest sponsors of terrorism.
Sudan
Is on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism (1 of 4 countries);
Poverty rate 50.6%;
Over one-third of the population lacks access to food.

Whenever a Democrat’s lips are moving and the comments being made involve race, look for a racial crisis Democrats are responsible for but are hiding from public view.
The only thing Democrat liberals and progressives understand is divide and conquer.   The problem is, they have painted themselves into a corner from which it will be very difficult to extricate themselves.  Their policies that support the illegal immigration of Hispanics into America are destroying employment opportunities for their most loyal voters:  Black people.  Not very smart… but who would expect anything else from the Dick Durbins of the world?  The panic of the con man, as John Galt said it would, is becoming apparent.
President Trump is right about immigration, legal and illegal.  America needs to make sure that those who come to our shores are capable of supporting themselves and have the potential to add, not detract, from our society.  I don’t care what color they are, I don’t care what religion they are (or are not).  They need to migrate legally, want to become American, be productive, and be loyal to their new country.
The days when the American economy can afford to support the world are long gone… and the lies Democrats tell about the positive impact illegal aliens have on the American economy are, too.  Many do make a positive contribution… but the percentage of social welfare given to illegal families is very, very high (some say as high as 80 percent).
Wake up, my Black friends.  It is you the Democrat policies are hurting most!
