I don’t know how many times I’ve read, or heard Democrats lecture the American people on voting against their interest. They proclaim allegiance to their party is the pathway to prosperity while denigrating those who’ve achieved success without help from a crony in government.
These self-proclaimed advocates for the little guy
have targeted minorities as their vehicle to power. Generations have been ground
into poverty and dependence by a parasitic class of politicians and their
enablers in the media. Is being a beggar
the self-interest so lauded by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama? Is welfare their version of
prosperity?
When slavery was banned in the South after the Civil
War, an educated class of blacks looked warily upon promises from the
government. They understood that with
freedom comes responsibility. Reverend
J.C. Price, an esteemed educator and founder of Livingstone College in Salisbury, knew that all too well. Here is an
excerpt from A History of African Americans in North Carolina:
From the end of his training in theology to his
premature death, from kidney disease, in 1883, Price adhered to a coherent set
of ideas about education, uplift, and equality.
“The American Negro has a peculiar work,” Price declared in an oration
on his commencement day, 1881. “Our mission
here is providential and peculiar…the carrying out of a divine plan,” he
said. As Price looked to the future, he
believed that “The Negro himself … is to solve his own problem” through moral
and material progress founded upon character and education. Inner strength would be the foundation for
social progress.
Emancipation by itself, Price argued, could not give
black people equality, for the evil heritage of slavery still worked against
them. “We are insulted,” he declared, “not
because we are black or colored, but because we belonged to [an] enslaved race,”
and he frankly acknowledged that slavery’s “influence still lives in the democratic
party.” To gain “the full stature of an American
citizen,” he noted, “The 14th and 15th amendments and the
Constitution itself have not done it.
The solution must come through the gradual, but thorough development of
his [the Negro’s] mental and moral nature.”
In accord with these beliefs, Price dedicated himself unreservedly to “the
Christian enlightenment of a race whose future will determine to a great extent
the weal or woe of the republic.”
This faith in the capacity of black Americans to
secure their rights through moral, educational, and social progress did not
prevent Price from denouncing discrimination.
When white southerners urged the nation to leave the fate of the Negro
in their hands, Price answered that the Negro was “willing and ready to live in
peace with white brethren under any conditions save those which violate the
very essence of his being and imply the surrender of his manhood and God-given
rights.” Compromise was possible, he
continued, but any “compromise that reverses the Declaration of Independence,
nullifies the national constitution, and is contrary to the genius of the
republic, ought not to be asked of any race living under the stars and stripes;
and if asked, ought never to be granted.”
Countering whose propaganda about the political power of blacks, Price
asserted that “The Negro is not seeking supremacy through the ballot, he is not
after power, but protection - not control but rights.” And he flatly denied that “to give the Negro
a free ballot where he is the majority, means mismanagement and financial ruin
to the country or district in which he resides.”
The Democratic Party has reversed the Declaration of
Independence and nullified the national constitution. Their governance is contrary to the genius of
the republic.
Today’s democrats demand the people of the
United States hand over their fate to a cabal of schemers because we have no
God-given rights they deem respectable.
Government of the Democrats, by the Democrats and for the Democrats
shall look over our interest.
