You know, I really don’t want to think this, but are black people on the left side of politics — whether they’re politicians or lobbyists or talking heads — more racist than pretty much all other groups of people?

I’m just tired of hearing rich black members of Congress talking about how they could be oppressed if other politicians, or people in general, don’t do everything exactly how they want it to be done.

Me thinks they doth protest too much. Maybe instead of constantly complaining, they could actually do some work — but that’s probably asking to much. After all, being a professional complainer on the American taxpayers’ dime is hard work in itself.

Enter Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.). You remember him, don’t ya? This is the same dude who thought Guam would tip over if too many people were on the island.

Well, in talking about President Donald Trump and his administration’s possible move to defund the Department of Education, possibly moving public funds towards private school choice, Johnson went the lazy route in his argument.

You guessed it. Everything’s racist.

“It’s a recipe to make education unavailable to black people,” Johnson said. “And where does that then leave us? It puts us back to when America was great, and we were picking cotton and all of the, doing the, productivity that they’re putting the, my Latino brothers and sisters to migrate here to do that work cause we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore. But, they would have us back to doing that kind of work.”

Did he have a stroke? A full minute of jibber-jabber and what the heck did he just say?

Johnson is essentially saying that making schools better and more streamlined, instead of just throwing money at problems that never get fixed within the education system, would make black people slaves once again.

In reality, Johnson thinks so little about the ability of black people to do and accomplish things on their own, without daddy government holding their hands, that he automatically reverts to some kind of slave mentality, of which he never experienced.

While I would never run for office because I have integrity, I’m really beginning to truly believe that I’m way more intelligent than the majority of these people…and a lot of them went to law school.

If this is the best we can do in Congress, maybe we do need education reform. I mean, we wouldn’t want Guam to tip over, would we?
