To the Democratic Party, only some black lives matter; those who vote Democrat.
If all black lives mattered to the Democratic Party, it would aggressively crusade against the horrible black-on-black murder rate in America’s big cities. There were almost 6,000 blacks killed by other blacks in the most recent year statistics were available, 2015. Instead, while in many of America’s large cities, the number of blacks killed in gang violence continues, the Democratic Party, which holds high office in these cities, blames Republicans and police department policies but is otherwise silent. Why? Gangs don’t vote, so they don’t seem to matter to the Democratic Party. Apparently they feel it’s simpler and cheaper to bury the dead than to keep them from dying. President Trump has made an issue of this atrocity; we shall see if he is able to convince Democrat mayors and congressmen to reduce the mayhem in the inner cities of America.
If all black lives mattered to the Democratic Party, they would not support the aborting of millions of black babies. From 1970 to 2013 (according to the most recent statistics of the CDC) in the United States, a total of 51,888,303 babies were aborted! While black women make up only six percent of the U.S. population, they account for 35 percent of abortions reported. Those reported!
If all black lives mattered to the Democratic Party, they would be negative toward illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants take jobs from African-American citizens, contributing to the plight of some African-Americans. But, alas, the Democratic Party projects that illegal immigrants will eventually get the vote, and will be a larger Democratic Party voting constituency than African-Americans... so...
If all black lives mattered to the Democratic Party, they would treat all African-Americans with dignity, not with insulting patronization, as if they are incapable of thinking for themselves. They would not continue to claim that conservatives and Republicans want to bring back the bigotry of the distant past. They would not help perpetuate the hate and sow mistrust of all Republicans simply to keep the African-American community voting Democrat.
If all black lives mattered to the Democratic Party, they would not support far leftist academics who preach anti-American, racist and Marxist theory to young blacks who, at that tender age, have no context within which to evaluate the propaganda they are fed. This is further exacerbated by refusing to allow contradictory opinions and facts to be presented to the students. Is it, therefore, any wonder that these students are easily persuaded to participate in anti-American, anti-white demonstrations? How does this advance the cause of black advancement in American culture?
Of course it’s the Democratic Party’s mission to get Democrats voted into office... just as it’s the job of the Republican Party to help elect Republicans. But at what cost? The Democratic Party seems totally invested in keeping Americans divided over race. It’s no secret that Party leaders collude with the media in pushing the false and dangerous narrative that African-Americans have been born into a racist society wherein they have no chance to succeed. Getting votes this way, votes based on lies and hatred, is beyond despicable. A nation cannot maintain its health, it cannot thrive with brother mistrusting brother. This is reflected today in the drumbeat of racism being charged against anyone who disagrees with the Left. This agenda is pinned squarely on the Democratic Party.
Because the Democratic Party has moved very far Left. It cannot win votes with positive ideas and an agenda the average American can get behind, so the Democratic Party has devolved into stinking 19th Century! Marxist theory. Divide the citizenry into classes; by color, by wealth, by gender, by age, and any other way they can conjure up. Set one side against the other. Sow discontent and the ultimate “revolution” of the proletariat (poorest working-or-welfare class with student rebels acting as their strong-arm) against the bourgeoisie (capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production), with the Party emerging as permanent leaders.
None of this helps African Americans, except for that very small minority in the leadership of the Democratic Party.
If all black lives mattered to Democrats, they would not ostracize or shun successful conservative African-Americans, rather, they would embrace their success and ability to act as role models for young African-Americans.
