"Racism is inextricably entwined in the DNA of the Democratic Party."

In his The Morning Rant in the Ace of Spades blog, Oregon Muse writes,

"The Democrats have always been a racist party. From the rise of the KKK, to lynching, to segregation, to the Jim Crow laws, it's been Democrats who've been the lead actors. Racism is inextricably entwined in the DNA of the Democratic Party. The only reason the Democrats get black votes is that LBJ greatly expanded welfare benefits during his term in office. He did not do this out of the goodness of his heart (of which he had none), but instead, it was a move of pure cynicism to buy their votes. And it worked. Anyway, my point is, the Democrats have always been about racism yesterday, racism today, and racism forever.

"Don't believe me? Listen to what Jihad Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley had to say at the recent Nutroots Nation convention in Philadelphia. She's part of a far-left group of rat bastard commies called the Justice Democrats, whose goal it is to get even more commie swine elected to public office. In describing the type of candidates they're looking for, she said, quote, we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice," she said. "We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice, unquote.

"So what did she mean by a "brown | black | queer | Muslim voice"? Obviously, potential Justice Democrat candidates better do what Pressley says, and say things that she wants them to say, in order to qualify as an authentic voice for their grievance group. But the idea that there is only one authentic voice per grievance group is straight up racism. There can be no differences? There can be no diversity? How can that be described any other way but racist?

"You know, I'm old enough to remember when minorities used to complain about "stereotyping." Well, this is some serious stereotyping, imposed in quite a totalitarian fashion. It reminds me of that ridiculous feminist who wrote that ridiculous article during the 2008 election season that argued that Sarah Palin wasn't actually a woman. Because she wasn't down for the struggle with the rest of the sisterhood.

"If Martin Luther King were alive today, he'd be thrown out of the Democratic Party for being a racist. If Malcolm X were alive today, he'd be pilloried for acting white. If Caesar Chavez were alive today, he'd be ostracized for also being a racist because he was adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. These are the end result of the identity politics which have corrupted the Democratic Party to the core, and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it from continuing. And I have yet to hear any sane Democrat protest the insanity. "
