Perhaps…Here’s what I said on November 21st, 2004: Bush increased his percentage of the black vote despite the scare tactics of the left for two reasons: (1) the shared conservative values of black churchgoers and Republicans, and (2) disgust with the Democratic Party’s plantation mentality.

Once you understand that, the racist inanities from democratic politicians that would normally doom a republican to hell become understandable. This is why the media pimps ignore democratic racism - because they believe (truly believe) that it is perfectly normal, reasonable and "inoffensive" to minorities.

It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary point of view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument.” According to The Politicker, “The audience loved it, as did the press corps clustered in back.”  Gothamist took it lightly: “Well, of course, that’s the way the Republicans like to run things - it helps them forward their agenda!”Republicans, especially the Congressional GOP,  reacted with fury, righteousness and maybe some glee. “It’s always wrong to play the race card for political gain by using a loaded word like plantation,” said Long Island Congressman Peter King. Republican National Committee spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said: “On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton.” Urban Elephants was harsher: “Yes, we know what you’re saying Hillary.
