Time To Re-Re-Open Some Old, Old Wounds

Thomas Sowell

Few issues are demagoged more than racism in our country.  Stirring up racial animosity is always part of the Democrat, pre-election playbook.  Yes, those Republicans  “want to put ya’all back in chains”; they want to reverse all the civil rights legislation; they want to keep you from voting…. etc..  That is the hateful imaginary world that is always sold to black people as a means of keeping them on the Democrat Poverty Plantation.

It is very harmful to the country, but it accomplishes its intended purpose for the Democrats.  The voting block is secure.

This cynical game of race-baiting is called “motivating the base” and it will require much more effort for this Presidential election than the last.  The Messiah has not come through with any of the magical cures for problems that were expected.   In reality, things are much worse for minorities.

So, in the next two weeks, all the usual suspects will be opening racial sores and rubbing salt in them. There will be a racial event of some kind that is trumpeted nationwide …maybe even several events.    Romney will be found to be a racist, the Republicans will be “trying to keep black people from voting”, Trayvon Martin (or a similar media created story of mythical racism) will be in the news,  and an urgent  message will go out to black ministers that the pre-election sermon must be about voting for the Democrat party and the President.

Ann Coulter has a new book covering the sordid history of racial politics in America.  Thomas Sowell reviews the book in this column.  He starts the column this way:

If you are sick and tired of seeing politicians and others playing the race card, or if you are just disgusted with the grossly dishonest way racial issues in general are portrayed, then you should get a copy of Ann Coulter’s new book, “Mugged.” Its subtitle is: “Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama.”  Few things are as rare as an honest book about race.

His discussion of the difference between Democrat rhetoric and reality is worth reading.  And if you want to read more on the subject, there is a good post at American Thinker.

UPDATE: You can read about the race riots that are being planned if Romney wins.  Read it here ,  including a link to some Thomas Sowell audio.
