The Democrats provide amazing reminders that slavery is alive and thriving in America today. The plantation these days is Congress. White Democrats are the plantation owners, and the Congressional Black Caucus members are the slaves…modern day House Negros. As in the days of Democrat oppression, House Negros of today represent royalty to blacks, leaders, second only to the poverty pimps served up by a complicit Liberal-loving media. Unlike other races, Democrat blacks need identifiable leaders or how would they survive?
