Why Do Democrats Hate Black People in DC?

Democrats only care about their beloved so-called “people of color” because they think they are a foolish collection of sure-thing voters who can be manipulated through a perpetual state of victimhood.

Crime on the streets of Washington, D.C., has become practically apocalyptic, to the point that President Donald Trump has been forced to take control of the city’s law enforcement operations and deploy National Guard troops to return order.

“This is liberation day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump declared. And, of course, the left-wing response was to either deny that crime in our nation’s capital even exists — which is only true in the wealthy elitist bubbles in which they reside — or accuse Trump of racism.

“As D.C. the National Guard arrived at their headquarters Tuesday, for many residents, the prospect of federal troops surging into neighborhoods represented an alarming violation of local agency. To some, it echoes uncomfortable historical chapters when politicians used language to paint historically or predominantly Black cities and neighborhoods with racist narratives to shape public opinion and justify aggressive police action,” wrote Matt Brown in an article titled “Trump’s rhetoric about DC echoes a history of racist narratives about urban crime” for the Associated Press.

There’s just one problem: Why does nobody give a damn about the black victims of crimes?

Let’s dispense with the theatrics. Yes, the perpetrators of the majority of violent crimes in D.C. are Black: a statistical reality that many reject as racist on its face. Except, the same is true of the victims of these violent crimes! Critics may howl that this language — let alone action — is just old-fashioned coded racism, but why do they simultaneously ignore that Black people are disproportionately victimized alongside being overrepresented in crime data? So why isn’t Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.‘s law enforcement under a real “public safety emergency” being correctly viewed as a non-racist liberation of the majority-Black victims of this crime spree, regardless of the racial makeup of the perpetrators?

Well, it’s simple. They don’t give a damn about Black people, and they certainly don’t give a damn about racism. After all, the most race-obsessed among us are the professional racists that make up the American left, for whom our value as human beings can be determined solely by our skin color, sexuality, religion, nationality or our gender (real or imaginary).

Joe Biden’s comment that African American voters who even considered voting for Donald Trump “ain’t Black” wasn’t a gaffe. It was official Democratic Party policy!

All while they remain race-obsessed because such tribalism provides a reliable fountain of power. The Black Lives Matter riots that exploded across the nation in 2020 were not in response to supposed systemic racism, but the American left’s lack of power. The same is true of the response to Trump’s enforcement of the law. Who cares that fewer innocent Black residents of Washington, D.C., will be victimized by crime, they say, when the price is a dilution of Democratic Party power.

The brutal reality is obvious: Democrats only care about their beloved so-called “people of color” because they think they are a foolish collection of sure-thing voters who can be manipulated through a perpetual state of victimhood. How wrong they are.
