Minorities, the Democratic Party, and Demystifying Government Dependence

Government Dependency and "Minorities"


Where to begin.....

Coincidentally, The Offspring's "Genocide" just ended on my Youtube feed...

I could start with the original English minority ruling elite of the Colonies....many of whom became Founding Fathers, and their dependency on tight legal autority to protect their hegemony....

While indentured servants and "released" small-holding (way out on the frontier) "freeman" made up the majority of the colonial and Antebellum periods of American history (not to count the African indentured servants turned into slaves and their afterward solely bound to bondage bretheren)...a small minority class pulled the reigns and collected the profit.....(at the ultimate expense of the majority Native American population)

It was a law that justified the private ownership of human beings in this nation....and it was this very issue that was the sole reason ever argued behind the rise of the Confederacy and the Civil War..

"The last U.S. census slave schedules were enumerated by County in 1860 and included 393,975 named persons holding 3,950,546 unnamed slaves, or an average of about ten slaves per holder. The actual number of slaveholders may be slightly lower because some large holders held slaves in more than one County and they would have been counted as a separate slaveholder in each County. Excluding slaves, the 1860 U.S. population was 27,167,529, with about 1 in 70 being a slaveholder. It is estimated by this transcriber that in 1860, slaveholders of 200 or more slaves, while constituting less than 1 % of the total number of U.S. slaveholders, or 1 out of 7,000 free persons, held 20-30% of the total number of slaves in the U.S."

It was the manipulation of government that constructed the United States' most valuable asset....its transcontinental transportation systems...first by rail and then by interstates.... I look then at the hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth that move freely across these systems....for their profit...

Just one example of many:

"The federal involvement with highways goes back to 1905, when the Bureau of Public Roads was created. In 1916, President Wilson signed the Federal Aid Road Act, which dedicated $5 million to help states build new roads. This marked the beginning of federal revenue sharing with states for road construction. In 1921, the US Congress set a goal of linking every county seat in the nation with smooth surface roads."

From "The Amtrak Story" by Frank Wilner

Sure, anyone can use these networks... But this hardly justifies the manipulation of government by families like the Huntingtons and Stanfords... They were dependent on government doling out money and land to them.... They were very dependent on the U.S. military to enforce their pursuits ...

Dependence on the government...to do only what a certain minority wishes it to do...

Realizing that it is with the legal code that a minority of legislators and their ilk, over time the "undesireables" were able to find ways of getting laws passed that gave them some protections....

While laws like California's AB 540 enable undocumented students to pay the same tuition rates as legal state citizens, the vast majority of people using and benefitting from it are American citizens...

The law states that California residents (in this case citizens of the U.S. as well) leave the state for a period of time, when they return they will not be considered "out of state" for the purpose of paying for university fees...

While a quarter at UCLA costs a California resident around 3500 dollars someone from any other state will pay twice as much..

AB 540, using the word "resident" specifically without relation to "citizen" allows for undocumented to pay in-state prices..

Zankou Chicken, a favorite out here in Los Angeles (look them up) is dependent on its undocumented workforce...

From restaurants and hotels, to carwashes and slaughterhouses, there is an ongoing dependency by this same minority caste to perpetuate political, social, and economic agitation...whether it be in Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, or Ecuador (to name a few places and not to exclude or diminish similar behaviors perpetrated in Asia, Africa, Europe or the "Middle East")...

"When President John F. Kennedy delivered his inaugural address in 1960, U.S. citizens were captivated by his vision of the United States heroically "bearing the burden" to fight for freedom and democracy worldwide. Yet frequently during the cold war, the United States was not the defender of freedom, democracy, and justice as many Americans wanted to believe. Rather, the United States was the supporter of the conservative status quo in the Third World. In numerous instances, the leaders which the United States chose to support in the name of capitalism, stability, and anticommunism repeatedly acted against moral principles the U.S. rhetorically emphasizes. Preservation of their own power was the most important interest of these leaders, not the institutionalization of democracy within their respective nations, well distributed economic growth, or respect for human rights."

From United Fruit turned Chiquita, Dole and Del Monte, to the profits gained through the tax-dollar subsidized Canal goods passage system (how many billions flow wast to east?)....the dependence on tax dollar subsidized programs like the School of the Americas-now dubbed the "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation".

Whether dependent on Supreme Court seat positions to enable a judgement in favor concerning Citizen's United to receiving "bailouts" (directed at the financial sector specifically) benefit a specific minority exponentially beyond human need...

..and the lack of any support for the remainder of the American populace speaks volumes.

Directly toward the assertion that "minorities" (ethnic, not economic) are more dependent on government than the "white" (artificial identity) population:

And we have to remember these kinds ot things:

Why do ethnic minorities tend to vote for Democrats?

Labor protection legislation like the National Labor Relations Act was signed by a Democrat...and labor rights continue to be more favorably approached by Democrats and their appointees to places in government, like the National Labor Relations Board...

What of protections against the practice of policies like "redlining"?

http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory. … /1050.html

It would be Democrat Jimmy Carter who would sign the law that attempted to shut redlining down, though forces found within the GOP and Teaparty seem bent on undermining the Community Reinvestment Act by hook and crook (mostly crook)..


But it is well known that Democrats are by no means an ideal....there is simply no alternative at this point...

Civil Rights legislation and support throughout the 20th Century have been set in place disproportionately under Democratic administrations....and while Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act that granted amnesty for undocumented men and women, the hypocrisy of Republican candidates like Meg Whitman and the actions of Arizona and recently Alabama by Republicans will continue to drive voting citizens who understand the reality behind the immigration debate away from the "right"...


There is more to say....infinitely more....

The main point.....there is a minority that is heavily dependent on the government....and its an economic caste playing an ethnic tint game to perpetuate its hegemony...

Too many people argue about myths.... There comes a time to move out of the clouds...
