White Republican Michigan Voters Chose a Black Guy

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



White Republican voters chose a black conservative over a white billionaire in Michigan.  How can that be?  Democrat Andre Carson of the Congressional Black Caucus said the Tea Party (conservatives and Republicans) is racist and wants to see blacks " hanging on a tree ." 


Folks, as a black Tea Party activist since 2008, I can tell you this is the evil slander of salt-of-the-earth patriotic white voters I have been fighting.  Black conservative John James won Michigan's U.S. Senate Republican primary because he  shares the values of most Americans.  James boldly expresses his desire to help Trump Make America Great Again.  Voters chose James because of the content of his character rather than the color of his skin, fulfilling the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


John James is a combat veteran endorsed by President Trump.  But wait a minute.  According to fake news media and Democrats, Trump hates blacks.  That's another hate-generating evil lie promoted by the American left.

It is extremely exciting and refreshing to see a fellow black American in the political arena evoking traditional principles, which lead to real empowerment and success – not just for blacks, but for all Americans.  America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it.  And yet, evil leftists relentlessly seek to hide this truth from the masses, particularly minorities.  Leftists want blacks believing that white America schemes 24-7 to keep blacks down and that blacks' only hope is to keep voting for Democrats.  Disgusting.

Ponder this, folks: most mega-rich black celebs worked their butts off, took risks, made responsible choices, and exploited the opportunities and blessing of living in America.  These blacks would not be enjoying the wealth, power, and influence they have earned had they followed the Democrats' philosophy of relying on government to take care of them – allowing government to control every aspect of their lives.  So rather than wealthy blacks telling fellow blacks to follow their traditional path to success, they tell blacks to stick with the Democrats.  Rich blacks tell blacks to keep voting for Democrats to get more welfare.






Generational welfare leads to wasted lives, anger, poverty, out-of-wedlock births, and jail.  Wealthy blacks ignore this glaring truth and choose to join the American left in hating America, whites, conservatives, and Republicans.  This is extremely unfortunate and counterproductive.








If a white person suggests that urban blacks follow the same road to success as black millionaires, that white person is called a racist who obviously does not know what it is like to be black in this awful racist country.  If a black person suggests that blacks leave the Democrats' government dependency plantation, stop having babies out of wedlock, stay in school, stop murdering each other, and assume responsibility for their lives, that black is called a sellout Uncle Tom who has abandoned his blackness.


Chicago just suffered another bloody weekend, one of the bloodiest in the city's history:  74 people shot, 12 of them dead .  These egregious black deaths are the result of blacks murdering each other, not racist white cops.  Blacks have been murdering each other in record numbers in Democrat-controlled cities like Baltimore; Washington, D.C.; and Chicago for a long time.  But rather than addressing the problem of black-on-black crime, leftists beat up anyone who dares to mention it.  The American left insidiously creates a media firestorm over rare incidents in which a white person or cop shoots a black.


Chicago Democratic mayoral candidate Garry McCarthy said Mayor Emanuel does not support the police.  Well, duh – the mayor's Democratic Party is part of the American left's coalition spreading the lie that cops murder blacks on sight.

In typical leftist fashion, Emanuel accused McCarthy of pandering to Fox News and Trump-supporters.  Notice the misdirection in Emanuel's response.  This is what leftists always do.  Rather than truthfully addressing the issue at hand, they change the subject by resorting to name-calling – racist, sexist, homophobic, and so on.


Kanye West, Candace Owens, and 37-year-old John James are part of a growing movement of younger blacks for whom the scales have fallen from their eyes.  They see the fraud of the Democratic Party and how it has been playin' blacks for decades.  These young blacks pose a huge threat to the Democrat stranglehold on the minds of up-and-coming black youths.

For this reason, expect the Democrats, fake news, and Hollywood to do everything in their power to destroy John James in his quest to win the Senate race in November.  This patriotic brother will need your support and encouragement.  When the entire wrath of the American left descends about you, it can be extremely challenging.  Ask Sarah Palin.


John James, thanks for your outstanding military service to our country.  Congrats on your win in Michigan.  America truly appreciates you, and we who desire to see our country made great again have your back.

James is a good guy.  Frankly, both he and Pensler would probably do the job adequately.  James, however, is a bit farther to the right politically and less likely to compromise his principles for short term gains.  Either would be better than Stabenow (the current Senator).  US Senator is the one statewide office that Democrats tend to win.  However the Democrat voting base (with unions and large city residents) is weakening as more and more people recognize that the Democrats don't seem to be gaining them anything  Moreover, in the last 15-20 years, many of those traditionally Democratic voters have left the State since there were no jobs.  Now, those are picking up and the voters seem to be recognizing that the job uptick is due to the Republicans.

The people around here don't really give a damn what color he is as long as he can bring in more jobs.

"A black tea party activist."  So he is against birth control, fair voter rights and affordable health care?  In favor of tax cuts, more money for military, more money for the upper economic tiers?

I must also assume that Mr. James also assumes that the 'dependency plantation and babies out of wedlock' is just a black thing?

Traditional principals?  Sure.  Except Supply Side Economics guarantees that those 'traditional principals' are readily available to only a shrinking per cent of the population.

Must admit though that Mr. James is far more eloquent and possesses much greater intellect than Ben Carson, another Trump 'plantation favorite.' 

I wish him luck.  The GOP needs fresh faces.

At the next Unite The Right Rally---where will Mr. James stand?

I guess the addition of a cable news network 22 years ago almost did balance it out. It is the most watched & most trusted (in the US) news network. That gives the American people 1 magazine, 1 newspaper and 1 cable news network.  It did help bring a change to government in 2016.

It sure doesn't seem like a balance to me from listening to all the bitchin the conservatives do about the leftist media controlling everything. If it's balanced, why all the bitchin ? 

If the conservative message isn't getting out, conservatives need to start more conservative news outlets. If the message is getting out fine now, why say the liberal media controls it all ?

Beings my "wolf wolf wolf" was referring to people saying there's an imbalance when as you stated there's really not because one side is just concentrated, so that imbalance crap is a lie that has gained credibility?

BULLSHIT !

Every fucking time the "Left" opens their mouth it's about some "Skin" color or another, especially if a "Black person" runs as a conservative. When that happens, they're "Uncle Toms" and "Slaving for the "WHITE Man" in Liberal world.

Nancy Pelosi:

"And when he had his sixth birthday … he had a very close friend whose name is Antonio, he’s from Guatemala.

And he has beautiful tan skinned, beautiful brown eyes, and this was a proud day for me, because when my grandson blew out the candles on his cake, they said did you make a wish?

He said yes, he made a wish. What is your wish? I wish I had brown skin and brown eyes like Antonio.

So beautiful. So beautiful. The beauty is in the mix. The face of the future for our country is all-American. And that has many versions."

Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor Wednesday:

The nomination of Marvin Quattlebaum, a white lawyer who is a partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough in Greenville, S.C., “speaks to the overall lack of diversity in President Trump’s selections for the federal judiciary.”

Really?  This seeder had the balls to seed an article from the Tea Party News that touted "a black, a jew, and a woman" as proof the Tea Party was so diverse until the facts came out that those speakers had to be bused in from other areas of the country to speak. 

The point being that they had to try and make it about gender, color and religion....the left doesn't need to do that, nor do they have to shout that they have a candidate that is not the usual white person because we don't have to use that.

Now, why would one have to make it a point to say they have a minority in their wings? Hmmmm?

U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan - "When you look at the floor of Congress, it’s especially telling. On the Democratic side of the room, you’ve got men and women of all different races. On the other side, you’ve got a bunch of white men in dark suits, all over 55 or so. It’s such a contrast. That’s not representative of the country. We really need to get people making sure that everyone has a voice."

Pocan's statement is quite accurate.   Are you disputing it?

And have you ever considered why the GOP is overwhelmingly controlled by old straight white Christian guys?

Why is it that if a black is elected to represent the republican party it is all of sudden big news. It's big news because the republican party has so few minorities in it and fewer yet elected officials. 

Work on representing minorities instead of trying to show what a party of diversity it is, when it isn't. 

And the old bullshit about voting democratic for the ''free stuff'' is the same old BS  the republicans have used for years to excuse their lack of participation in the republican party. I don't, and none of my minority friends have ever voted democratic for ''free stuff''...When will the republican party figure out that by using that BS line you are insulting millions of hard working minorities and you sure as hell are winning any friends with that constant lie. 

There are numerous instances this election cycle where the democratic party and the independent party have chosen a minority over a white guy to be their elected official. 

Wake the fuck up is the best advise I can give you.

Why a big deal .. I am thinking probably because of the daily bombardment of 'You must be a racist because [insert reason]' .. with the #1 reason being .. an individual is conservative .. comments like all republicans are not racist .. but all racist are republican (or something like that)… by saying this, when will democrats realize they are insulting millions of people in general?

I look at this from my perspective, that of a minority. And the old refrain of ''free stuff'' is BS, always has been and always will be. This frequently used ''excuse'' by the right only goes to show they have no frickin idea of what minorities think/feel about anything. It would be best if they kept their mouths shut and learned instead of trying to tell us what we should be doing/thinking/acting. 

Yes, there are always two sides. I certainly cannot speak for anyone else but I don't call people racist or traders to their race because of a vote. I will invite them to tell me why they voted that way or any way. But if they start out with the ''free stuff'' or telling me how I should feel/think/act the conversation may get heated.

You want others to learn, but learn what exactly?

Not to insult minorities with the old ''free stuff'' nonsense...Not that difficult to understand.

Personally, I don't care about the skin color or sex of any individual.   I'm just getting fucking tired of being called racist, or Nazi, or KKK or any other the other myriad vitriolic denigrating terms the left uses simply because I happen to support Trump and some conservative causes while not supporting others.

And I'm sick and tired of being told that I want free stuff and all the other BS that is thrown at us because we vote democratic. So we're even in that respect.

Maybe if some stopped using their race and what their ancestors endured as a crutch for their own personal failures and stopped demanding special treatment, maybe they would get a more welcome reception.

Maybe if some stopped with the ''own person failures and special treatment'' BS we might listen to what they have to say. BTW, I don't fall back on what my ancestors endured. I have first hand experience with it and I don't use it as an excuse. 

When I was a kid in Brooklyn, my folks moved out because a close co-worker and friend of my dad, a black man by the way,  told him HE was moving because those N@##$%^ were moving in and he worked too hard and too long to get away from them and he would not be dragged back down by them. 

Personal anecdotes don't mean much on a discussion site. I can quote a hell of a lot of them if that the criteria for discussion.

I'm just getting tired of the bullshit.

You are exactly right. The difference in diversity between the two parties could not be starker.

" 94 Democrats who are minorities comprise 39 percent of all Democrats in Congress.  That’s as representative  as the 38 percent of the U.S. population that is nonwhite Hispanic and other racial minorities. The 16 minority Republicans represent only 5.5 percent of all GOP members."

It is arrogance of the highest order to assume you know what's best for "all" when "all" aren't being represented in making the decisions. Our country has been run largely by straight white Christian males. We are only now seeing women, blacks, gays, Muslims and other minorities being represented in our leaders and law makers. The Republican party still clings to the idea that the straight white Christian males know what's best for all when it's simply not true, they haven't the foggiest idea what's best for women and minorities as the mere 5.5% of their elected leaders represent them.

Diversity solely for the purpose of diversity is stupid.

What an ignorant statement. Being inclusive of all types of Americans isn't just for "diversities" sake, it's a representation of the very foundation of American values. We are a great melting pot of cultures, ideas, faiths and peoples and that is what makes America so great. Those who continue to whine and gnash their teeth because of our diversity can go shove their bitter bigotry up their asses till they choke.

I agree. However, for nearly the last 200 years of American history you couldn't even be considered for leadership positions unless you were a straight white Christian male. It's effectively been affirmative action for whites only for centuries. There are PLENTY of qualified minorities who have the skills and education needed for leadership roles, sadly some Americans still cling to the shitty traditions of the past and can't imagine voting for anyone other than a straight white Christian male.

An example of what I would consider an exception is if it required a certain gender or it required someone who was bilingual.  That's what I mean by exception.

Why is it that if a black is elected to represent the republican party it is all of sudden big news.

It is big news because it takes a lot of courage.  Because they know who the real party of racism is and They all know they will be called "uncle Tom" or worse and will be constantly harassed for DARING to leave the Democratic Plantation!

So when I voted for a republican actually worked on his campaign it's big news...LOL where the hell are the news stories. I'm ready to be interviewed.  And there you go with the Democratic Plantation BS....Perfect.

This is a good example of our political arena more focused on ideology as opposed to what is the best thing to do.

In general, these days, all too often our political games seem to reward looking right past the best thing to do.

It's big news because the republican party has so few minorities in it and fewer yet elected officials.

It's not just big news. It's good news because more and more black Americans are coming to understand that they have been pawns of the Democrats whose only desire is to keep them chained to the party on Election Day by giving them welfare and affirmative action while pretending to be outraged about racial injustice.

According to fake news media and Democrats, Trump hates blacks.  That's another hate-generating evil lie promoted by the American left.

Fake news? How about the factual courts ?

Trump got his ass split open for refusing to rent to black people.

There is no excuse for not renting to someone based on race.  He has done some things to help black people too though.  This helped them a lot.  This is not the only instance.  

Back in 1998 and 1999, Trump worked with Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH coalition to help offer a way to get African Americans into corporate America and improve their communities through building projects and jobs. Jackson praised Trump’s savvy business aplomb not once, but twice.

"We need your building skills, your gusto, your [unintelligible] for people on Wall Street to represent diversity, and we thank you for coming tonight. Let’s give Donald Trump a big hand," Jackson said at an event captured by C-SPAN cameras.

At another event a year later, Jackson introduced his "friend" and thanked Trump for giving blacks a "face" on Wall Street.

"When we opened this Wall Street project and we talked about it, you gave us face at 40 Wall Street, which was to make a statement about our having a presence there," said Jackson. "Beyond that in terms of reaching out and being inclusive, he’s done that, too."

Jackson also applauded Trump’s "will to make things better" for the "underserved communities." In addition, Jackson thanked Trump for meeting with him in 1984 and in 1988 when he ran for president at a time when the United States would’ve found the idea of a black president "laughable."

When Trump got up to speak at that event, he praised the skilled workmanship of blacks and other minorities.

Kanye West, Candace Owens, and 37-year-old John James are part of a growing movement of younger blacks for whom the scales have fallen from their eyes.  They see the fraud of the Democratic Party and how it has been playin' blacks for decades.  These young blacks pose a huge threat to the Democrat stranglehold on the minds of up-and-coming black youths.
For this reason, expect the Democrats, fake news, and Hollywood to do everything in their power to destroy John James in his quest to win the Senate race in November. 

I was very impressed with what John James said in an interview this morning:

Although it was tempting, I always stopped short of calling blacks Uncle Toms simply because they were Republicans.  But with THIS clown who wants to "help Trump Make America Great Again," there can be no doubt...

TOM!!

I hope he runs for president so I can accuse racism every time someone disagrees with him like most the left did with Obama.
