They have no shame. And they wonder why Latinos and Blacks don't join their ranks.
A good majority of Blacks and Latinos are uneducated and ill-informed voters. They have gatekeepers who tell them which candidate to vote for. Most of the time these gatekeepers work in the public sector so naturally they are in favor of big government and expansion of entitlement programs. Another reason why Blacks and Latinos have switched to the Democratic Party is because they favor socials issues that give them entitlements. Latinos are culturally conservative but because they want to up their population in order to have the biggest voting block, immigration is a top priority for them. Obviously, that is going to conflict with the GOP who wants to secure the country's borders.
A lot of Democrats want to ignore their racist past even though they're the ones who actually instated racist laws like Jim Crow. They want to say that the GOP is racist because Conservative policies supposedly "target" minorities. But that isn't racism. All laws inadvertently hurt some groups in the process, but prove to me that it's actually "racist". They can't.
They also say, "well the KKK switched to the GOP." While it may be true that nowadays the KKK prefers the GOP over the Democrats, but it isn't really for the reasons that the Democrats claim. For centuries the south was dominated by the racist KKK Democrats. Government leaders like Democrat George Wallace abused their powers by intimidating blacks at the polls. The turnout for Republican voters were very low. In order to win the south, the GOP had to appeal to the white southerners - but they didn't do it by way of "racism". It wasn't like they were promising to exercise racism against people of color. By the way, the northern Democrats were already doing an excellent job of pushing out KKK when they decided to bring aboard minorities - but not because they cared about blacks or Latinos. It's because they implemented a new racist strategy equal to the slave plantations - WELFARE. They won minority votes by expanding WELFARE programs. Most minorities are just too stupid to realize this is exactly what keeps them poor and dependent on the government. KKK left the Democratic Party because they hate socialism and communism above everything else, which is what the Democratic party led by the north was turning into.
Anybody who believes and supports socialism or communism just isn't American. That's not what this country was built on. Any immigrant who thinks this country is a dumping site to get freebies need to be deported immediately. The only thing this country guarantees is the opportunity to try and lift yourself out of poverty. It doesn't guarantee that you will. If you're still struggling generation after generation then that has more to do with your poor money management skills and inability to make good life decisions.
Take for example: many first generation Hmong struggled not because they lacked English-speaking skills. It was because they married young, and continued to have large families despite working low-wage jobs. That is the recipe for failure in this country. Many of them, however, lucked out because of our strong Hmong family values. With the help of their parents, siblings, and relatives, coupled with good money management, many overcame their struggles by continuing with higher education and securing good jobs.
For anybody to say that minimum wage just doesn't cut it in this country, well they haven't met my parents. My folks could make money stretch because they have excellent money management skills. My parents believed that as long as there was incoming money, a person would never go poor and I believe them.
