Interesting article on that by Joe Fitzgerald in today's Herald.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/20220818liberals_exploitingblacks_is_tired_trend/Black history hasn’t taught us much, or so it seems when we see it continually reduced to a self-serving prop by those who regard it as a tool for advancement.
Joe Biden telling a Virginia crowd of blacks that GOP policies are “gonna put y’all back in chains” is just any echo of shameless exploitations we’ve all heard before.
It’s Ted Kennedy suggesting, “Robert Bork’s America is a land in which ... blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters.”
How could this late liberal lion exploit those Americans who were martyred at those counters for something much greater than a cheap punch line?
It’s John Kerry telling the congregation at Roxbury’s Twelfth Baptist Church that “a vote for Bill Weld is a vote for Jesse Helms,” as if his Republican opponent was a kindred spirit to the KKK.
Did he not realize how monstrous that allegation was, or did he simply not care?
It’s Chuck Turner, ejected from the Boston City Council for accepting a bribe, railing how “African-Americans were brought to this country as slaves, (and) we were whipped and lashed and hung.”
In that pathetic attempt to divert attention from his own corruption, he cheapened the blood those ancestors shed by using it to wash his dirty hands.
It’s Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., arrested for mouthing off to a Cambridge cop, saying he planned to donate the handcuffs used to shackle him to the Smithsonian Institute’s museum of black history, as if he had personally challenged Bull Connor.
