Big Pimpin Liberals

It’s 2010 America. Can we please move on to something else besides race? Sadly, this will never be the case as long as there are people to exploit, and liberals to exploit them. It’s no surprise that liberals have injected racism into the current immigration debate centered around Arizona‘s new law, which was clearly enacted to protect its citizens in the absence of federal action. If you read the legislation, the law clearly forbids racial profiling. Then again something as simple as reading legislation has never stopped liberals from exploiting race before.

This episode reminds me of one of my favorite books, Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game by Pimpin’ Ken. At first glance, this book appears to be a how-to guide for aspiring pimps (and it is.) However, Ken gives great insight on being successful in any chosen endeavor. More importantly, he explains how to exploit someone’s mind for personal gain. After reading it, I realized that the Democratic Party must have read Ken’s book as well because they use his tactics to exploit African Americans and so many others by exploiting race and emotionally charged rhetoric.

In Law #4- Keep a Ho in Arrears, Ken states “the more someone depends on you, the more power you have over them. To master someone completely, they have to depend on you for everything… But the key for a pimp is to make that (prostitute) think that she always needs him.” Sounds familiar? The Democrats would like to give amnesty to millions of people in order to create a massive new voting base which could keep them in power permanently. Just like a pimp, liberals will constantly remind weak-minded people of their benevolence and convince them that they cannot succeed on their own. This is no different than their constant reminders to blacks of their so-called “black agenda.” Law #5- Prey on the weak, discusses using people’s desperation against them. The same way liberals exploit people’s desire to flee difficult situations in order to make a better life for their families in the United States. Liberals dangle citizenship in the face of illegal immigrants in order to entice them into political subservience.

We cannot forget the role of so-called black leaders in the liberal’s big pimpin agenda. While blacks may overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party, blacks are not as passionate about giving special concessions to illegal immigrants. Al Sharpton admitted that many of his supporters don’t support the Democrat’s on this issue. He said “I have a lot of people even in the National Action Network say, “Reverend, I’m with you on a lot of things, I’m not with you on this.” While Sharpton and other Civil Rights leaders get compensation for their liberal servitude, the rest of us don’t. With black male unemployment at a 17.6 percent, it’s disingenuous to assert that undocumented workers are doing jobs Americans won’t do.

In October 2008, a North Carolina poultry producer initiated a systematic conversion of its workforce to avoid an immigration raid. The company quietly began replacing immigrants with native-born labor in all of its plants. Less than a year later, House of Raeford’s flagship production line in Raeford, N.C., had been transformed, going from more than 80 percent Latino to 70 percent African-American. Delonta Spriggs, a 24-year-old black man pleaded, “Give me a chance to show that I can work. Just give me a chance.” Spriggs, a high school dropout, reformed criminal and American Citizen, must compete with at least 12 million illegal immigrants for low-skilled jobs. Although Spriggs is black, he shouldn’t expect black leaders to fight for him because fighting for black people is obviously not as lucrative as it is for other ethnicities.

Injecting race into the immigration debate has nothing to do with sympathy for the plight of any particular ethnicity. It’s just a classic pimp move! Pimpin is about exploiting people’s minds for personal gain. Let’s be real. Liberals do not consider blacks or Hispanics as equal to them. Do you really think that Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry would want to live next door to 30 illegals sharing one home, or a housing project? Do you really think they would be advocating amnesty if they feared a home invasion every day like the people living on the Arizona border? Obama doesn’t care about the plight of people living on the border because he has the Secret Service to protect him. He doesn’t have to worry about being gunned down on his property like the Texas rancher was. Nonetheless, I commend the Democrats on their pimp prowess. They have convinced millions of desperate people to put their faith in them, but that’s a big mistake. Hopefully, these people will eventually learn a lesson from Ice T: “The biggest mistake a b–ch can make is to think that a pimp really loves her.”
