This is a response to the article
Bernie Sanders in the Deep South by Brianna Joy Gray The link is below.
It would be difficult to cover all
the things one could say about the Black vote in a single article but, this
attempt is not meant to accomplish that mission. When we look at the loss of
over 1000 seats by the Democrats, one thing is a fact. The seats have been
lost. The loss of Hillary actually made that fact public knowledge. There
is more to the story.
The Black community is a complex
living breathing entity. It has varying levels of understanding, education, and
economics. A consistent theme could be the physical decline often noted while a
parallel effort to improve exists. It is an economy and environment of
struggle. People who live inside are not all trying to get out. They are not
all trying to sell drugs for a living, walk around strapped, or dropping out of
school to hang on corners.
While those things happen in Black
communities the foundations of education, living wage employment, and personal
effort exist but are under constant attack. Local politics have filled
elected offices with ineffective politicians while simultaneously growing
community leaders trying to make a difference. These things brings us to
logical questions. Why have things not gotten better? Why are these
communities in constant states of decline, debt, and often blatant corruption?
The answer is politics.
A deeper examination of the Black
community often reveals career politicians who have long careers and are often
democrats. The offices are usually filled with establishment candidates
and no local advocates usually break through primaries. It’s as if the
people on the ground, the advocates, never make it past primaries and often
rack up losses trying. These losses become seemingly legitimized as futile, as
the issues raised in campaigns just keep getting worse. Fact is proven by
watching and urban film made in the 1980’s.
The issues are still the same and in many instances have worsened.
In the article Bernie is reported to
address the fact that the Democratic party has not met the needs of the black
community, as a business model. Here is an excerpt from the article:
“The
business model, if you like, of the Democratic Party for the last 15 years or
so has been a failure,” said Sanders. “People sometimes don’t see that because
there was a charismatic individual named Barack Obama. He was obviously an
extraordinary candidate, brilliant guy. But behind that reality, over the last
ten years, Democrats have lost about 1,000 seats in state legislatures all
across this country.”
Is
that shade? One would have to step into the sun to really feel the heat of the
truth. Here it comes. Many black people hold President Obama as a
hero and a role model. I was as proud as any black person who witnessed
something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. That is a Black
President. It was a major accomplishment and our families could often be
seen crying in disbelief and joy during his swearing in. In other parts
of the nation there was just swearing.
The
election of President Barack Obama is what made Donald trump possible. I
will give you time to grasp your pearls and breathe. Now follow plain logic if
you will. I and many did not know Hillary was as bad as she was until I
hung on every word of then Senator Obama. I did not stop there. I began to dig
on my own, certain that if this man was telling the truth he would not be alive
long enough to have it known worldwide.
So,
I dug. I did research. I found that he was actually being polite or maybe his
articulation came off that way, but the facts were enlightening and horrifying.
I could not get my mind around how honest he was about how bad she was for this
nation. The level of corruption he spoke of and was also referenced by Mrs.
Obama was mind blowing. The link below reveals some things that now make far
more sense than they did when we first heard them. Frame all words
thinking articulation does not equal truth. We hear the eloquent words.
Some are impressed by how words flow never realizing which direction the
current leads.
See
the exchanges here:
If
we are to frame all the things said about both candidates by the
candidates themselves in the Clinton-Obama race in a narrow perspective of them
both being honest about each other a different picture emerges. If we just
do our own research to verify what was said it changes what we believe. If we
combine those words with what actually happened, not by what we believe, we see
how President Trump won. As a caveat, I am not a President Trump fan. There is something far more dangerous about a
person who does not fully realize what one has until it is destroyed, lost or
abused. We pray for him because the nation is now by sworn oath his
responsibility.
One
of my assessments of President Obama is based in the fact that I believed what
he said about Mrs. Clinton as did many. Given that fact no one would vote for
her. I would have never hired her for anything. I did not understand why he
would. If he was certainly good enough to convince me how bad she was I am
certain he knew more than he told us.
I
admit I was naive. It was not until Hillary ran again that all she did
while empowered by the office President Obama gave her that we learned how bad
she really was. As a military Veteran I believe that the top is
responsible. The top holds the power of accountability and
responsibility. Therein lies the rub, or bern.
Many
can speak of accountability but rarely have the power to make and hold
those violating law accountable for their actions. That is not an opinion. That
is a fact. Another fact is that if one has the power and does not use it they
are guilty of the infraction, violation, betrayal, or crime by being complicit.
Previously,
I mentioned the Black community as a complex living entity. It thrives by what
it is fed. Both negative and positive grows to maturity based on its diet.
It does not have fully viable food, information, or power. Things in each
category just mentioned are the best and worse humans have ever
known.
As
Bernie knows the DNC admitted to felony election fraud in court I can question his desire
to act on his power of accountability and his authenticity. As a
member of the Senate he has spoken about Russian hacking the election. The
issue’s problem is evidence and a DNC confession to crime exists in
official court documents of felony election fraud. Bernie has the power as a
Senator as do ALL Senators and Representatives to call for an
investigation into the confession and hold those people responsible for crimes.
Why this is important is covered in another blog here:
The logic chain should make the
following connections:
- President Obama was right about Hillary in 08,
- President Obama hired Hillary
- Hillary established unsecured server, uses position as
SoS to collect billions while breaking national security protocols
which she knew existed as Flotus, and Senator.
- Hillary buys DNC and pays for Steele dossier
- Hillary destroys evidence in Federal indictment case
- DNC exposed for felony election fraud, DNC chair
resigns and is hired by Hillary
- Bernie gets cheated, millions of Bernie supporters get
purged from Dem rolls and delegates witness collusion to rig the
nomination first hand
- Bill and lynch meet on a plane Hillary is let go by
Comey
- Investigation on Hillary reopened
- President Obama and all Dems campaign for Hillary
including Bernie.
- Hillary, President Obama and DNC expects all cheated
voters to support her based on being Black and loyal to Obama, hate and
fear of Trump.
- Trump wins
There is a book written
by Hillary blaming everyone for her loss. Those 1000 seats lost did not
happen overnight. It took an epiphany by voters to see the promises made have
not been kept. Those promises were not kept by politicians and parties.
Seeing the truth of the elected responsibility to have at least made an effort
to keep those promises prompted voters to withdraw support.
As a voter I would have
never known Hillary as the person I see her as today, had it not been for
President Obama. Even as Commander in Chief I hold him responsible
for Benghazi. As I said, authority and accountability start at the top. He
eventually fired Hillary or she left. We may never know which is fact.
The facts we do know are that had he never hired her she would not have had
access to secure emails, decision authority in Benghazi, or a position in the
State Department to monetize for personal gain. We can't say for sure if Russia
would still own 20% of US Uranium, or if she would have the money to buy the
DNC. I doubt it.
So were the voters to
actually see the logic behind this presentation I would offer this sentiment.
We the people will not give up or give in. Truth and facts are the most
precious commodity available. We cannot fix things we do not know are
wrong or are afraid to face. Disappointment happens. When we learn the truth,
we are often disappointed. It is nothing wrong with changing to get
better. We have witnessed our hope and the very change we seek used
against us. We have learned and are trying to teach all to verify facts and
seek truth.
We can no longer trust
those who have a platform to raise awareness but fail to carry the full truth
with them. Charisma is something Bernie knows something about. How to deal with
the DNC and election fraud are lessons he still has yet to learn. As for
what happens in the Black community, I have this to say.
We take the bitter with
the sweet. We have homes and the streets. Blame and game is all around. We
empowered silence, and sound. To go up you must be down or figure out a way
around that which will grind you to dust. We trust, sometimes more than we
should and sometimes not enough. We aspire to become while some settle for what
is. Every day we define the word "ENOUGH". We either don't have
enough, which we make enough, have enough, or have taken enough that we can't
take anymore. Enough is the concept the wealthy can never understand because
it all can never belong to just one man. The world is often surprised at what
we become without admitting it’s because we have made it past everything
designed to turn us to dust.
The Black community is
alive. That is a fact. Just ask the makers of Black Panther.
