Ted Nugent Says Blacks Are Only Ones Who Don’t Realize Democrats Are Destroying Black America

Right winger Ted Nugent is at it again, this time talking down to ‘blacks’ about all the things we’re clearly too obtuse to understand, at least according to Nugent.
The racist rocker, who has also declared his undying love for the Confederate flag, wrote a column in which he said that African-Americans are the only ones who don’t realize that President Obama is continuing the Democratic Party’s decades-long destruction of black America.

Key here is the phrase “the only ones”, as if all white people, regardless of political party, are somewhere snickering behind the collective backs of black people. That phrase goes to the heart of  what Nugent believes about the intellectual capacity of black people.

Here’s what he said:

Barack Obama, the guy who received roughly 93 percent of black American votes, is the clear and present engineer of the destruction of black America.

It’s not all the president’s fault, but the economic and social policies he endorses are destroying what is left of a once proud and strong black America.

[...]

The truth is that the Democratic Party has been the engineer of the destruction of black Americans, and everyone knows it except the very people who need to know it the most – black Americans.

The turbo-destruction will continue for black Americans until they realize that dirty Democrat politicians are their true enemy, not their salvation. Fortunately, some are beginning to embrace this self-evident truth.

The truth will set those black Americans free who want to be free, who want to be the best they can be, who want to leave their grandchildren a better, stronger America.

If Nugent wants to make a point, then he’s free to make it (even though I don’t know any black person who cares what he has to say on any issue). But Nugent should make his point with facts, not back casting aspersions as it relates to what blacks do or don’t understand.

Truth be told, blacks – like all other races on the planet – are fairly complex people with varying sets of priorities. We make our decisions based on the choices available. And it was the GOP who offered us John McCain (and Sarah Palin)  in 2008 and Mitt “Who Let the Dogs Out” Romney in 2012. So now who’s being obtuse? If Nugent really wants the GOP to ever stand a chance at picking off a few black votes, then his first order of business should be to leave his own party. He’s the problem, not us.

SCRIPTURES

EZEKIEL 3: 4 

And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. 

5For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 6Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.  

7But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. 8Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.  

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

 10Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.  

11And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
