CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 21, 2023
POLLS SHOW MOST AMERICANS, INCLUDING MOST BLACK AMERICANS, BELIEVE RACE RELATIONS IN AMERICA ARE WORSE SINCE BARACK OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT.
THAT HASN’T STOPPED THE FORMER PRESIDENT FROM PLAYING THE RACE CARD AGAINST SENATOR AND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TIM SCOTT.
IN AN INTERVIEW WITH DAVID AXELROD, OBAMA IMPLIED THAT SCOTT WAS AN EXCEPTION AND MOST BLACKS WHO ARE IN POVERTY BECAUSE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SLAVERY.
WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO HEAR THIS? SUCCESSFUL BLACK AMERICANS LIKE SCOTT AND CLARENCE THOMAS ARE IGNORED OR RICICULED FOR SAYING IF THEY CAN MAKE IT OUT OF DIFFICULT CIRCUMTANCES OTHERS CAN TOO.
BELIEVING THAT WOULD ROB DEMOCRATS OF THE BLOCK OF VOTES THEY GET EVERY ELECTION WITHOUT HAVING TO HELP BLACK PEOPLE. DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO OPPOSE SCHOOL CHOICE AND ARE ELIMINATING OR TRYING TO ELIMINATE CHOICE PROGRAMS POPULAR WITH BLACKS AND HISPANICS.
REPUBLICANS SHOULD ADOPT A “LATE MY PEOPLE GO” STRATEGY, PORTRAYING THEIR PARTY AS MOSES AND THE DEMOCRATS AS PHAROAH. THERE IS NO SECRET HOW TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL FOR ANY RACE – STAY IN SCHOOL, STUDY HARD, GET MARRIED BEFORE YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND STAY MARRIED, DON’T DO DRUGS. THOSE WHO DO THESE THINGS WON’T BE SINGING “WE SHALL OVERCOME.” THEY HAVE AND WILL OVERCOME AND THAT’S WHAT WORRIES DEMOCRATS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
