http://www.game-warden.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Ever since LBJ enacted Affirmative Action the DNC has effectively locked the African American mindset into the liberal plantation. Liberal policies since JFK's more centrist administration have sought to affirm and foster a dependance and entitlement mentality among minorities i.e - keep them dependent on our 'benevolence' and 'good will' and before they know it they won't know what to do without us. It's worked a charm, too. 90% of African Americans voted for Pres. Obama. Mainly because he's black, which is a natural inclination, but also because he promised to raise taxes i.e - more money being funnelled into welfare, which African Americans are disproportionately dependent on. They didn't take any notice of same sex marriage legislation proposed by the Obama administration, or the DADT law in the military being lifted which is diametrically opposed to the deep Christian background the majority of black families in the U.S. are rooted in. That was overridden by the opportunity to get more for less (at the expense of hard-working Americans, regardless of colour or creed). They won votes on a promise of more tax Dollars going into funding welfare programmes, which minorities often depend on. Not to mention the victim mentality that's been pounded into the minds of African Americans by successive liberal administrations and overbearing, paternalist white liberals who don't consider the African Americans capable of looking after themselves. A reflection of that can be found in various forms among the British left-wing. All of the above keeps the African American who buys into the liberal-progressive propaganda of today's DNC a slave on th eliberal plantation. Dependence on that level should be strongly discouraged at every corner.
