Democratic plantation
The Democratic plantation is a concept originally considered during the Great Society, that continues to be referenced as a way to describe how, African Americans dwelling in the United States have been physically enslaved, since arriving to America from Africa, to the present-day descendants, who, are now also mentally enslaved by the Democratic Party. The concept of the Democratic Plantation, which was originally discussed during the 1960s, proliferated through the decades.[2]
The War on Poverty was a set of programs instituted by President Lyndon Johnson and its associated legislation passed by Congress in an effort to supposedly combat poverty. President Johnson was reported by accurate sources to have said,[3]
“ | I'll have them n*gg*rs voting Democratic for two hundred years. | ” |
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur[4] first noted that black Republicans criticized the "plantation politics" of the Democratic Party in 1964.[2] The metaphor of the Democrat Party as a slave plantation was mentioned by Richard Nixon in a 1968 interview with Jet magazine.[5] The concept of a Democratic Plantation was later spread throughout the printed media in the 1970s and 1980s, eventually gaining mainstream attention in the 1990s. The idea of the Democratic Plantation was further documented by The Washington Post as recent as January 2019.[2]
African American efforts to runaway from the Democrat plantation is referred to as the Black problem. Modern-day slave catchers, usually Uncle Toms in mainstream media, are called on to recapture and ostracize freethinking Blacks.

Usage in popular culture
In 1992, the Pittsburgh Courier claimed that a Black Republican "is a kind of bogeyman dressed in a Black tailored suit or immaculate silk dress, to cajole Blacks into believing the Republican Party" and further criticized. White members of the Republican Party applauded black members of the GOP for having the sense to leave the “plantation politics of the Democratic Party.” Pat Buchanan applauded Republican Herman Cain while discussing his Presidential candidacy on CNN in 2011.[5]
Armstrong Williams used the phrase and promoted the idea that the Democrat Party had betrayed black voters for decades.[6][2]
During Barack Obama's Presidential campaigns of 2008 and 2012, Black conservatives viewed Obama, the first black skinned presidential candidate, as a blatant threat to their social position. In 2011, Republican Rep. Allen West of Florida planned to take voters on the "underground railroad" away from the Democrats' "plantation" over to the GOP as a "modern-day Harriet Tubman".[7][8][2]
Louis Farrakhan claimed the Democrat Party leadership failed black Americans. He indicated that anyone inclined to support Hillary Clinton were "slaves sold out to the Democratic plantation."[9][10][2]
In his 2017 book entitled "The Big Lie", Dinesh D’Souza states, "Only whites — even whites undergoing economic hardship and plagued by cultural dysfunction — have so far resisted succumbing to the lure of the Democratic plantation."[11] D'Souza compared the modern "urban plantations" in his 2018 book and film entitled Death of a Nation. D'Souza indicated that impoverished black communities were being given just enough to get by and "that’s why they remain in misery, and that Democrats were perfectly happy to keep them there, as long as they keep voting 80-90% for the party that’s running the plantation."[12][2]
In January 2019, the Washington Post published an article discussing the Democratic Plantation. Reportedly, modern black voters were "actively remolding" the Democrat Party and forcing candidates to address the inequities that propagate throughout the United States.[2]
A black free thinker at a 2020 Trump Rally in Tulsa was accosted with racist slurs by a black Democrat calling him "house n***er." The Black Trump supporter responded, "I’ve never been on the plantation, brother. Have you?"[13]
In April 2021, Twitter allowed a racist insult against Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina to "trend" on its website/platform following the GOP rebuttal to Biden's SOTU speech in which Scott debunked the liberal leftist agenda, accused Democrats of trying "to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present" and stating, "America is not a racist country."[14] Following the speech, angry leftists flooded Twitter in attempts to label the Senator "Uncle Tim" and using other racist slurs. During the rebuttal Scott stated, "I have experienced the pain of discrimination... I get called "Uncle Tom" and the N-word — by 'progressives'! By liberals!"[15] The left traditionally uses the derogatory epithet and hurls it at conservatives who dare to walk off the Democrat plantation. This has long been a way for bigots to insult black freethinkers who are accused of being subservient to whites and used to send an intimidating message to others who might be thinking about leaving the plantation.[16][17]
Democrat Uncle Tom Georgia state senator Emanuel Jones opposed placing a statue of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the Georgia state capitol grounds.[18]
You ain't Black
Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden made a particularly offensive and egregious racist comment toward African American's during a radio interview.[19] Biden's comments were an effort at voter intimidation. Black Entertainment Television (BET) co-founder Bob Johnson called him out saying in part,
"This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets."[20] |
NBC's America’s Got Talent host Terry Crews[21] pointed out the inherent racism in the Democratic nominee's train of thought:
“When you’re white, you can be Republican, Libertarian, Democrat. You can be anything. But if you’re black, you have to be one thing. Even Joe Biden said, ‘Hey man, if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.’”[22] |
Biden followed up his racist comments with more insults in front of a panel of journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists-National Association of Hispanic Journalists 2020 virtual convention implying Democrats lacked diversity of thought: [24]
"And by the way, what you all know but most people don't know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things. You go to Florida you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you're in Arizona. So it's a very different, a very diverse community."[25] |
Charlemagne tha God responded that he wished Biden would just "shut the eff up forever."[26]
The Democrats cynically tried to take advantage of George Floyd's death, which occurred only days after Biden's racist comments, to repair his relations with Blacks by attacking the alleged systemic racism of police departments in Democrat-controlled cities. Police groups and unions which Biden courted since the 1990s on behalf of the Democratic party and Clinton administration with the Biden Crime Bill, mass incarceration, and effort to put 100,000 new cops on the street to deal with "Superpredators", responded by withdrawing their support.[27] Jacobin magazine summarized Biden's record:"It’s not as if Biden didn’t know what he was doing.... He just didn’t care. Biden had made a calculated decision that the elections he would win were worth the damage he inflicted....even if Biden has subsequently learned the error of his ways, the rank cynicism and callousness involved in his two-decade-long championing of carceral policies should be more than enough to give anyone pause about his qualities as a leader, let alone a progressive one."[28] |
Lee Stranahan observed the organized George Floyd riots were an attempt to win the alienated white Bernie Sanders supporters back to the Democrat plantation.
Biden won the Democrat presidential nomination when South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn endorsed him, and the dominos of the Democrat machine fell into place. In short choreographed order, the remaining white candidates, Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg and a host of local officials began goosestepping in lockstep. The minority candidates, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, and Tulsi Gabbard had been driven out earlier in a rigged process that allowed rich white male billionaires - Steyer and Bloomberg - to buy their way into the process once all the people of color had been forced out.[29] Clyborn admitted he cringed when he heard Biden's racist attack on Black people.[30]
As the Democratic party nominee in the 2020 presidential election Biden was endorsed by Neo-Nazi white supremacist Richard Spencer, organizer of the June 2017 Charlottesville protests in which one person was killed.[31] Biden publicly proclaimed that defenders of the Confederate flag were "many fine people."[32]
2020 Black voter disenfranchisement
Biden received 66 million votes nationwide, while Trump garnering the biggest share of the African American vote by any Republican since 1960; however, Democrat election officials manufactured an additional 13 million fraudulent mail-in ballots[33] to keep African Americans down on the farm.[34] In Michigan all Kanye West votes were flipped to Biden by corrupt Democrats.[35] Biden told his junta organizing committee,[36]
“ | This country is doomed! It is doomed not just because of African Americans, but because by 2040 this country is going to be minority white European! Hear me! Minority white European! | ” |
Biden's purported appointment of white supremacist Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti as commissar of housing was met with protests by the Black Lives Matter organization.[37]
Nicki Minaj internet holy war

In September 2021, rapper Nicki Minaj posted on Twitter,
My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent…His testicles became swollen…His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding…So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied. |
Minaj has over 22.7 million devoted followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. MSNBC Uncle Tomiana Joy Reid took to the airwaves and said,
You have a platform, sister, that is 22 million followers, OK?...I have 2 million followers…You have 22 million followers on Twitter...For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives, my God sister, you can do better than that! |
Minaj responded by retweeting a message that Reid sent in 2020 saying: “I mean, will anyone...anyone at all...ever fully trust the @CDC again?...And who on God's earth would trust a vaccine approved by the @US FDA???...How do we get a vaccine distributed after this broken, Trumpist nonsense has infected everything?...Even if Biden wins?” Minaj continued,[38]
This is what happens when you’re so thirsty to down another black woman (by the request of the white man), that you didn’t bother to read all my tweets. ‘My God SISTER do better’ imagine getting ur dumb a– on tv a min after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman" adding "Two white men sittin there nodding their heads cuz this uncle tomiana doing the work chile. How sad. And, Right…I can’t speak to, agree with, even look at someone from a particular political party…Ppl aren’t human any more…If you’re black & a Democrat tells u to shove marbles up ur a**, you simply have to…If another party tells u to look out for that bus, stand there & get hit. |
In a lengthy Instagram video Minaj hit back at the mainstream media for attacking her about her stance on the coronavirus vaccine and defended herself from accusations of lying after she said the White House invited her to a discussion about the vaccine. Minaj said, “Don’t tell me I can’t agree with a Republican.” In another video, Minaj said “We’re no longer even allowed to voice our opinions or ask questions?!” she said. “So many of your favorite artists feel this way but they’re afraid to speak up!”[39] Rappers Busta Rhymes, Bia, and R&B singers Tank and Summer Walker have also expressed vaccine skepticism.
Minaj blasted cancel culture, comparing it to the suppression of free speech in Communist China. “You should be able to ask questions about anything you’re putting inside your body,” she said, noting that women often interrogate much more innocuous things, like wig glue. “But you can’t innocently ask question about something going in your body?” she continued. “I remember going to China and they were telling us you cannot speak out against the people in power there, et cetera, and I remember all of us thinking, oh, ok, we understand and we respect the laws here and that it’s so different from where we live.”[40]

“I’ve had these liberals, these leftists, and Communists who talk about the ‘rights of the worker’ literally threatening me saying ‘how dare you protest with Trumpers, how dare you protest with them and not with us,’ but they are pushing the vaccine.”
All these Socialist organizations, all of them, are pushing the vaccine. I mean, they were even pushing it back in the day when only old people could take it,” he explained. “They are telling me that it’s okay for Joe Biden to say that my people can’t work if we do not take this vaccine. If you can’t agree with me that my people have the right to decide what goes into their body, and that if they make a choice you disagree with, that they still have a right to earn money and be able to eat — if you can’t agree with me on that, there’s nothing else for me to talk to you about. I don’t care about Marx. I don’t care about your hammer and sickle. You don’t want me to have a right not to have an injection into my body? I do not agree with white people not being able to feed their children. I don’t want that type of world. If you say you’re a freedom fighter, how much more to the base of freedom can you get than this issue?” |
