Black white-flight from Obamavilles

The beginning of the end of  pathological Democratic Party separateness

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. – Luke 12:34 (ESV)

Before Barack Hussein Obama, there was Lyndon Baines Johnson and 45 years of white guilt/race card-playing victimization monogamy.  In the third year after white folks purged the guilt and gave the first Hawaiian-born (and defended by $5 Million lawyers), mixed-race, 20-year Rev. Hate-America Wright pew-parked, President the nukes, major cuckolding has commenced:

No wonder he’s become such good pals with Al Sharpton.

President Obama’s approval ratings among black voters plummeted last month to their lowest levels ever, while his support among Hispanics took a tumble in the same period, according to a surprising new poll released yesterday.

Blacks continue to back him by a wide margin, with 85 percent of respondents saying they approved of him in the latest Gallup poll.

But that number dropped a hefty 5 percentage points from last month, marking the lowest rating among that core constituency that he’s had since taking office.

Recessions concentrate the mind

 

Great recessions impart reality muggings and, when coupled with the fact liberal policies fail even when implemented by similar skin-colored liberals, a change of past voting behavior may be in the offing.

Go South, young brother

This may be especially expected given the recent non-voting behavior of blacks with experience living with the consequences of liberal Democrat policies in Northern cities and states:

The Census reported that waves of blue state blacks fled the stagnant job opportunities, high taxes and rotten social conditions of the mostly blue northern states to seek better lives for themselves in the south.

The Census story is a shocker.  First, according to the Times, the Blacks leaving tend to be the “younger and better educated”.  Second, the three states Blacks left in largest numbers don’t just include snake-bit Michigan; the other two are Illinois and New York.  Within those states, Chicago and the city of the New York (widely considered among the most successful cities in the country) are the places Blacks are deserting.  17 percent of the Black flight from Big Blue is from the Empire State; after almost a century of trailblazing social policy, New York State has succeeded in creating the most hostile environment for Blacks in the country.

It gets worse.  One would think that the Blacks who choose to stay in the cold, unwelcoming North would cluster in the cities where more liberal and humane governance models mandate such generous policies as “living wage” laws and where all the beautiful features of the blue social model can be experienced at full strength.

But one would be wrong.  Blacks across the North are fleeing the urban paradises of liberal legislation and high public union membership for the benighted suburbs.

Institutional Suburbanism – Join us!

One of the best kept secrets in modern America circa AD 2011, is that most whites got over race long ago. One of the most ridiculous myths is that there exists some sort of “white privilege” that makes life so much easier when pale of face.

USA Today recently combined the two lies with worries of racial “re-segregation” due to so-called racially-motivated “white flight” and neighborhood schools despite census, poll, and other realities to the contrary, such as that:

  • The late Strom Thurmond’s son recently had the “privilege” of losing a race for Congress to Tim Scott (pictured with Allen West, above), a black man in an 85% white Palmetto State district that covers Fort Sumter, 150 years on; and that
  • There are no two finer tea partiers in America than Florida’s Allen West, with Scott in the House of Representatives, and Georgia’s Herman Cain on the 2012 presidential campaign trail.

Somehow I don’t think so many blacks appreciate Attorney General Eric Holder’s declaration of America as “race cowards” from a man that promotes the stereotype of billy club-wielding New Black Panther intimidators of whites as acceptable in the black community.

Somehow I don’t think those blacks fleeing racist New York cops appreciate beer summits made necessary by gratuitous insults hurled at the thin blue line in Cambridge. Nor do they appreciate false charges of name calling at Glenn Beck-ralliers for MLK’s Dream.

Do blacks really wish to replace the next FBI Director with 10-years of anti-law enforcement apologizers for al Qaeda that will use the Voting Rights Act to thwart the census with false charges of “institutional racism” against those they voted for with their feet?

Somehow I don’t think so.

Barry Bond’s greatest crime was against Hammerin’ Hank Aaron, not Babe Ruth

After all, its the GOP that tried to save blacks in The District from the sweet nothings of Planned Non-Parent-Abortion-hood. Grant Hill chose Duke rather than the Fab Five Uncle Democrat Tomhood of Jalen Rose. Cam Newton is no less worthy of being called out for slothful late arrivals for NFL practices, and now its OK to call a black man lazy in America without having one’s heart ripped out and examined for venality.

Are Blacks fleeing the North for the South because they agree with Obama that whites who chose Hillary are scared “bitter clingers” to God, guns and bigotry, with “tribal” attitudes? Hardly. Blacks just wanna pursue God-ordained Life, Liberty and happiness with the choice of having a gun to defend their homes, not to mention more plentiful Sun Belt jobs. And while they are at it, they would appreciate less mocking of their struggles with skyrocketing energy prices from the Chief job-destroying Executive since Hoover.

More and more blacks are joining us whites that put our pants on one leg at a time before we walk out into a world that doesn’t stand up and cheer when it sees our skin, and for whom it is just as hard to afford Le Seuer peas and the gasoline to get to Kroger.

If Tim Scott can break the lily-white establishment ice, maybe some rough around the edges tea partier whites can! No need for racial appeals. Most members of the Party of Lincoln and Reagan came over based on the human issues of liberty, prosperity and peace through strength, rather than the usual class, race and envy appeals of the party that has Bill Clinton show New York’s McCall the back door.

I suspect more will be joining us in a Republican Party that rejects the racial politics of the senior Clarence Thomas-insulter Senator from Nevada ( see also Illinois) and the long form birth certificate-challenged Commander-in-Chief of Middle East apology tours.

The last refuge of a liberal may be racism, but what the non-racial conservative majority that refuse to swim in the media and Democrats cesspool realize is that the last refuge and best tour for blacks ends with the call letters of Atlanta’s 750-WSB-AM clear channel talk radio:

    ? …to The Suburbs (movin’ on out) ?

    Given that blacks presently vote 85%-90% Democrat, there’s no other direction for them to go politically than to start voting Republican.

    Continuing with

    Helping Blacks achieve the kind of equality and opportunity long denied them was more than one of many justifications for blue social policy: it was the defining moral task that has challenged and shaped American liberalism for the last fifty years.

    The Census tells us that in the eyes of those who know best, these well intentioned efforts failed. … Blue economic policy has cut the creation of new private sector jobs to a trickle in our great cities, while the high costs of public union urban services (and policies that favor government employees over the citizenry at large) impose crippling taxes and contribute to the ruinously high costs that blight opportunity. All the social welfare bureaucracies, diversity counselors and minority set-asides can?t make up for the colossal failure of blue social policy to create sustainable lower middle class prosperity in our cities.

    Most Blacks of course still vote blue at the ballot box, but more and more of them are voting red with their feet. They are betting in massive numbers that southern Republicans will do a better job of helping their kids get good educations, police their communities more fairly, offer more affordable housing and create a better business climate. Over time, this is going to affect the balance of power in Black politics and pull the Democratic Party (and the national consensus) to the right.

    With blacks accounting for 12% of the population, even a fall from 85-90% to, say, 75-80% would represent 0.12 * 0.10 = ~1 percent loss for the Dems and a ~1 percent gain for Repubs nationally.

    A two percent pickup at mid-field in the struggle between Republicans and Democrats would be huge. And it’s only a matter of when.

    is well worth the click.

    The Fab Five link, however, leads to a Jason Whitlock column that is almost incomprehensible.

    It is so ironic that the program was developed by Norman Lear, an example of the error of Kantian philosophy if there ever was one.

    say somewhere in the range of 2014-2024 (who knows exactly when), but you’re correct, the enthusiasm among blacks for Obama in 2012 can possibly match the off-the-charts enthusiasm of 2008.

    There’s a powerful short-term peer pressure/culture keeping blacks united in their support for the Dems. The long-term pressure, however, is a shift toward freedom and Republicans.

    I agree that blacks and other liberals / marxists are moving from urban areas into more conservative, primarily southern areas of the country. But this is not a good thing.

    The way I see it is: the marxists, regardless of their skin color, vote in such a way that their entire culture is so messed up that when they have the economic means to, they move to a more pleasant area. However, their political thinking, and thus their voting patterns, don’t change. They’re either too political or too stupid to realize that it the natural result of their own voting that causes their living environment to become so degraded.

    So when they move to a more conservative area, the natural result over time is that it also will be transformed into something which is not so pleasant to live in.

    It’s comparable to a cloud of locusts that keeps swarming from one area to another, destroying everything in its path.

    The only solution to this problem is perhaps to legislate a waiting period limiting when you can vote if you move from one state to another, perhaps ten years or so. That way, at least the transformation to a urban ghetto would at least be slowed.

    One day they will see that white liberals don’t really care about them, and that the real reason white liberals create dependency programs to control the black population and keep them blindly voting for Democrats.

    I pray that God will lift the veil from the eyes of black Americans so that they can see how white liberals target them for population control by building their Planned Parenthood abortion mills in urban areas rather than upper middle class white suburbia.

    I look at all the great progress black Americans made from 1865 to1965, and then how they regressed ever since and it is plain to see that their regression is completely the result of white liberal social policies put forward under the guise of “helping” blacks.

    about our black brothers and sisters. It’s all liberals.

  • jeffreywturner

    I think of people like the Soros & the moveon.org folks, the code pink bunch and those violent hippies who always protest the G-8 summits. Those are some of the most monolithic lilly-white groups you will ever see. I do realize that there are other liberals, but I really see them more like tools of the elitist white liberals rather than organic liberals in their own right.
