Civil Rites of Passage

In order to cultivate the approval of black voters, Jewish Bernie Sanders is inviting the Reverend Al Sharpton to “feel the bern.” Which is ironic, considering that was also the last phrase heard by the seven people torched at Freddy’s Fashion Mart after Sharpton inspired an angry black mob to set fire to the store out of hatred for (wait for it!) Jews.

At the summit meeting of these two enormous hypocrites, Sharpton questioned the aging socialist on important policy issues like guaranteeing racial discrimination in employment (Affirmative Action), preventing police officers from making arrests of criminals of color or protecting their own lives, and the water quality in Flint, Michigan. Water which is hated simply because it’s brown.

Of course, Sharpton’s endorsement of a Democratic candidate will only go to the highest bidder, which is why Hillary Clinton will also be meeting with the emaciated race-baiter to kiss his, uh, ring.

Still, Bernie has got a decided edge in cultivating Rev Al’s favor. After all, he’s the one promising the biggest boost in entitlements for the nation’s underclasses. But unfortunately, such entitlements have become a modern form of slavery which gives complete control to those holding the checkbook.

Hope n’ Change doesn’t actually think that Bernie sees this (while we’re damn sure that Hillary does), and that his intentions are probably good. But we know where the road paved with such intentions inevitably leads (even if the White House is a rest stop on the way).

Case in point: Bernie is gleefully shouting that he’ll give free college to everyone. But what good is free college to black students who’ve been trapped by Democrats in underperforming inner city schools and denied the ability to choose a real education? Many black students “graduate” from these high schools with reading levels insufficient to follow the directions to prepare a TV dinner (seriously, that’s an actual metric used to measure their abilities).

So either the “free colleges” will turn them away or have to be dumbed down to a 5th grade reading level (spoiler alert: it will be the latter).

Barack Obama has been an unmitigated disaster for black Americans, and neither the Criminal nor the Commie hoping to succeed him would be any better. Which is why Hope n’ Change thinks that the best thing which could happen during Black History Month would be a dramatic shift among black voters to a party which actually wants to lift them out of poverty rather than continuing to build ever-higher walls of entitlements around the Democratic plantation.

Why, yes – we WERE offended by another racist, sexually demeaning halftime show! Thanks for asking!
