I watched a documentary tonight on Tim Wise, a white civil rights author and activist. Author of the book "White Like Me", a blatant appropriation of a classic black cultural icon.
Anyway, he cites many examples of how white privilege has become part of America, including the Depression gov't work programs excluding Ag and home service workers(mostly black) and the Great Society of the '60s. He even points to a line in the Constitution, or Declaration of Independence, that says only free white men can enjoy our freedoms. The FHA, GI Bill, and other post WWII benes for vets didn't include blacks, etc. He didn't mention other references to 'all men are created equal', nor the compromises needed to establish our great Union.
The only thing he failed to identify was the Party of racists implementing all of these policies, from 1932-1952 and from 1960-1968. Of course this blatant attack on the legitimacy of America was designed and implemented by the Party of FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Stennis, Thurmond, Byrd, Gore (Sr. and Jr.), and Clinton.
But somehow the Democrats manage to blame the GOP for their own nefarious, illegitimate policies.
Dinesh D'Souza has a new film this summer delving into this grand deception perpetrated by the Dem Party. |
