Slavery-It's No Game

Over on Belchspeak I found out about a supposed new game. It's called Slavery-The Game



Most people tend to think its a fake, but the video posted under the name of JavelinReds has already gone viral. Naturally, it is controversial. But this is certainly understandable. The institution of slavery itself is no joke.

American slavery might well be, sadly, the most successful enterprise ever undertaken by the Democratic Party. And it is ongoing to this day. Democrats continued the institution by way of Jim Crow laws in the American South, well past the time it was legally abolished. The Democrats used segregation and other brutal tactics-for example, their terrorist, militant wing known as the Ku Klux Klan-to keep African Americans under subjugation for close to a century after the Civil War. When that sorry episode ran its course, they hijacked the nascent Civil Rights Movement, whereupon the little sharecroppers shacks were replaced by subsidized housing, welfare, food stamps, gun control laws, street gangs, and hard drugs. Oh, and of course, the promise of single parent families as ever increasing numbers of black males were shuffled off to prison. And then of course, abortion, which serves to keep the numbers of African Americans low, and manageable.

Today we see the long-term results of the Great Society. And under Barak Hussein Obama, the first bi-racial President that we know of, the black unemployment rate is double the national average. On the other hand, that is no surprise. While touted as the first African American President, Barak Obama is not truly African American by descent. He is half white, and half black of African immigrant descent, so in a way yes technically he is an "African American". But in reality, he is descended from a man whose white mother's ancestors owned slaves, and from a man who's Kenyan ancestors very possibly sold them. His only other connections to the hardships of being a black American is tenuous at best. He supposedly was passed up by a taxi cab on a number of occasions, and assumed without proof it was because he was black. He also had a white girlfriend, and she broke up with him for unspecified reasons.

Otherwise, his life is in no way typical of the black experience. How could it be? Obama is, it can't be stated too often, not descended from any past slave in America. On top of that, he was given every opportunity to advance and excel, and there is more than a little reason to believe that he was cut a lot of slack in regards to his scholastic performance. Of course, he had many backers among the university intelligentsia, just another episode in a long line of Marxist mentors.

And now he is President of the United States, and having had no experience of ever really facing any kind of credible, substantial opposition, without ever having been thoroughly vetted, after years of being propped up, idolized, and propagandized by the political and social elites and the media, the little straw boss that is Barak Hussein Obama is unable to cope with true criticism, opposition, and defeat.

But its more than his lack of experience at these matters which is the problem here. The real problem is, Barak Hussein Obama is not his own man. He is not the master of his ship. He is still down in the lower deck of the slave ship, bound by invisible chains. Those chains are not physical bonds, of course, they are mental and emotional ones imposed throughout his lifetime by the leftist hacks who have used him like a trained seal.

Its sad that the first "African-American" President had to be a Democrat. It was an iron-clad guarantee that he would be, and in fact is, no more than a highly polished and refined House Negro at best, and at worse, the Democratic Party's White House Lawn Jockey.

Slavery-The Game might well be a fake. But Slavery-The Institution is still alive and well.
