Yesterday CNN posted this article criticizing rapper Kanye West over his meeting with President Trump. In it they bring up the age old accusation against West whenever he refuses to conform to the mainstream over certain issues: mental illness. According to CNN, a black man having opinions developed on his own that were not fed to him by a white liberal college student or a liberal media executive, is mental illness.

CNN is not alone in those veiled racist beliefs that the left holds so dear. The idea that black people are too stupid to develop their own opinions, that they are unable to register to vote, that they are unable to obtain photo IDs or do not know where the DMV is, are all mainstream ideas promoted by the American left and the Democratic party. They believe black Americans to be incompetent and stupid and in need of a helping white hand to go about their daily lives. They believe in the age old imperialist idea of the “White Man’s Burden” to educate the inferior and stupid black race. And CNN is making that all mainstream. These beliefs are now held by perhaps half the entire population of the US.

Back on Kanye West, a CNN commentator previously criticized Kanye West by calling him a “token negro”. These thinly veiled and racist actions taken by CNN are nearly always met with widespread support by the left who share these beliefs. Whenever accusations of racism arise towards CNN and the Democratic Party, they are quick to fall back on to their support of programs meant to help the “token negroes”. This just goes to show that the Democratic Party has never truly changed their ways, they simply abandoned their openly racist rhetoric in favor of more veiled and supportive rhetoric that would even convince those who were being discriminated against.
