…well, quite honestly, against their own:
This afternoon, more than 1,000 students, parents, and concerned citizens gathered across from city hall to rally in support of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program. A number of prominent D.C. leaders spoke, including former mayor Anthony Williams and former councilmember Kevin Chavous. But the most moving speeches were from the parents and students participating in the scholarship program. High-school student Carlos Battle spoke about how he was personally working to redefine the image of the black teen in Washington, D.C. — and how the Opportunity Scholarship program was giving him a chance to fulfill his dream. A father of a scholarship student pointed out the hypocrisy of Congress bailing out failing corporations but taking scholarships away from D.C. students.
Indeed. If you follow the link, you’ll see a picture of the demonstrators and you’ll note that they are overwhelmingly black. This is natural – Washington, DC is a heavily African-American city. So African-American is the city that it wracked up an astonishing 93% of its votes for Obama last November. The oddity? It is Obama and his Democrats who are – at the behest of corrupt educationist unions – pulling the plug on this very popular and exceptionally effective program. I wonder if anyone in the crowd – almost certainly ardent Democrats to nearly a man and woman – put two and two together?
Its got to be hard – here is the political party (now led by one of your own!) which has spent decades telling you they care about you and what they are doing is screwing you over. And to add insult to injury, it is this mostly black area which is being screwed over at the behest of mostly-white elites! Nothing so clearly demonstrates that the Democrats are the party of the powerful than their cynical and cruel disregard for this long-suffering community – a community which has poured out its blood and treasure, and is now told to take a hike…but please keep voting 90%+ Democrat.
2010 and beyond will be the battle between the people and the powerful and it is to be hoped that, at long last, African-Americans will come to understand that they have been used. Their “leaders” are mostly the choice of rich, white liberals and the policies put forward are for the benefit of rich, white liberals and their favored black individuals and groups…the average black man or woman means nothing to these Democrats, or to those alleged black leaders. It is time for all people who are ignored by the powerful to band together and take our country back.
