Point Counterpoint: Do you think Alfonzo Rachel’s points about Democratic racism and liberal ideology to be accurate? Why?
May 4, 2016
Alfonzo Rachel, a famous right wing YouTuber who recently visited COD, has strong opinions on liberal ideology and enjoys voicing them to his extensive internet audience. People from all walks of life can have very strong and very different reactions to his statements, whether they are in complete agreement or disagreement. He believes the Democrats are responsible for racism in the U.S., and he uses historical facts to back up many of his videos. We found two people with completely different views and asked them to talk on the subject.
Joe:
AlfonZo is absolutely right about the Democrats hijacking the Republican party’s history of ending slavery and segregation. A lot of people reference the Southern Strategy as their attempt to ensure Barry Goldwater’s election by switching their vote to Republican to stop the Civil Rights Act from passing. This is simply untrue. If that were the case, why didn’t he win? The true Southern Strategy was the Democrats tricking the black voters into switching sides, all under the premise of trading rights for free things.
Even Lyndon Johnson ( the man who passed the Civil Rights Act) made his intentions clear when he said, “I’ll have them Niggers voting Democrat for 200 years.”
This is pretty clear evidence of the party’s intent to farm votes from former black Republican voters. It was the greatest scam in our political history. If Republicans are the racist ones, why was Democrat Senator Robert Byrd a Grand Cyclops in the KKK?
This man was praised by both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Last I checked, the party of denying constitutional rights to people was never Republican. Democrats still to this day support segregated schools, under the guise of cultural sensitivity. They call this PEG in Chicago. Saying that we should have students have culturally sensitive courses for minorities like blacks and Hispanics. Essentially segregating them from the curriculums taught to “white” students. While Republicans are advocating still for integration of schools by supporting policies like school choice that allow for poorer students to attend the public school of their choice, whether in district or not.
It’s Democrats who feel that minorities can’t get anywhere in life without government assistance. It’s Democrats who open Planned Parenthood clinics in minority communities. It was the Democrat Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) who described Black Republicans as human weeds, and openly admitted her organization’s purpose was to exterminate black Americans. It was Democrats who supported Jim Crow, and to say that black Republicans turning to Democrats somehow makes them the party of liberation is simply not true.
