© 2016 Jim Spence - Democrats have a cynical game plan to manipulate and control
black American voters. And Thomas Sowell resents this fact. He has spoken often
about how much misinformation gets published and trumpeted about the black
experience in America. Sowell has lived the black experience in America. In his
writings he traces the roots of today’s high unemployment rates in the black
community. And he remembers the rising income rates of blacks and low unemployment rates during the first
half of the 20th century. All of this happened when racism was a
serious problem and long BEFORE Democrats started to call for government
intervention to “help” blacks. He reasons that racism is a relic of the past and has nothing to do with the struggles of blacks.

Perhaps Democrat Patrick Moynihan knew best when he went
against most in his party and opposed proposals by LBJ to allegedly fight poverty.
Instinctively Moynihan knew that laws passed under LBJ were a sure fire way
to promote illegitimacy in the black community, destroy the families, and
perpetuate poverty. Hand outs started being given to inner city girls who bore
children out of wedlock, but only if the children’s fathers did not live in the
house. These stupid ideas were government-baked recipes for calamities and the rest as
they say is history. Democrat’s big government ideas have “helped” the American
black community set itself back a hundred years.
Let’s consider racial discrimination. Arthur Blank, Robert
McNair, and Tom Benson own NFL teams. Peter Holt, Gail Holt, and James Dolan
own NBA teams. In fact, Tom Benson owns both an NFL and NBA team. Each of these
people competes with dozens of other team owners. Imagine what sort of results
these business people would experience with their teams if they instructed
their coaches to purposely keep lesser players because they wanted to
discriminate against African Americans? We all know the answer to this
question. The very idea is preposterous. Thomas Sowell put it succinctly.
“It
would be very hard, for example, for a basketball owner, no matter how racist
he was, to try to operate without Blacks. It would be suicidal.”
The better players, of which so many are black, would simply
sign with other teams. And the other teams with the better players would
destroy the teams with lesser players on the playing field. We all know this,
simply because it is common sense. Sports franchises want to prosper. Accordingly they are always looking for ways to upgrade their talent. They comb the far reaches
of the world looking for better players. Again, this is common sense.
Let’s completely suspend our common sense. Why would we do
this? Because…..Democrats want us to. They would have everyone believe,
especially blacks, that somehow business people that own sports franchises are
DIFFERENT from all other business people. They want us to believe that only
sports franchise owners want to succeed, not any other businesses. Democrats float misleading
advertisements around election time that infer that business people instruct
their managers to purposely keep lesser employees because they want to hold
down the minority communities.
Talk to any business owner who is succeeding and he or she
will tell you the hardest thing to come by now days is qualified people with
skills. Sound familiar? It is the same dilemma sports franchise owners have.
Everyone is competing for talent. And nobody who is going to last for more than
ten minutes in business cares what color or gender the talent is. It is common
sense. But if you are a Democrat you are required to suspend your common sense
where race is concerned. These are the cold hard facts on race that should be known by every American.
Why do Democrats do this? It is because they want to
manipulate and control voters in the minority segments of the population. They
want to manipulate them into believing that the business people in the
sports world are somehow “different” than the business people competing outside
of that world. They don’t want anyone to know that ALL business people are dying
for the next LeBron James, Cam Newton, or Kevin Durant in their industry. And just like
sports franchise owners, they don’t care what color the superstars are.
Thomas Sowell understands that racists come in all colors
including both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. He had this to say on the
subject:
“Racism does not have a good track record. It's been tried out for a
long time and you'd think by now we'd want to put an end to it instead of putting
it under new management.”
