Democrats Are the Real Racists (& Why Blacks Don’t Care)
Spencer J. QuinnIn my near-infinite wisdom on all matters racial, I have noted two major personality flaws of thinking people: They become enamored by the elegance of their ideas to the point of neglecting reality, and they reflexively assume that all people are like them. Such a person might be called a midwit, but I prefer the term “conservative.”
I kid. I kid. One does not have to be a conservative to be a midwit. But since I still read conservatives, and in many cases care what they have to say, I will stick with my midwit-conservative synonym-ism. And nowhere do these midwit flaws display themselves like pelican feathers among conservatives more than in the notion that the Democrats Are the Real Racists (DARR). Thanks to the Black-History-Month-Summer-Celebration known as Juneteenth, many conservatives have recently been dusting off this tired trope in the vain hope that this time it would, kumbaya-like, lure the majority of “African Americans” back into the predominantly white Republican tent. You do remember that the Republican Party was the party of Lincoln, right? And the Ku Klux Klan? They were all Democrats. So vote MAGA today!
The basic logic goes like this: Racist Democrats wish to oppress blacks and get their votes at the same time, so they skew history to bamboozle their sable pawns into thinking that Republicans are their enemies, when historically Republicans have been their greatest allies — they freed the slaves, after all. Meanwhile, those racist Democrats pursue anti-black economic policies such as various forms of welfare, which seem generous but really keep the majority of blacks poor and dependent on the government. In the same vein, they claim to be pro-minority while they flood our cities with non-white immigrants who compete with blacks for jobs. (Black unemployment was at record lows under Donald Trump, don’t forget.)
Democrats also flatter blacks by supporting anti-policing measures. But this only keeps black neighborhoods dysfunctional and dangerous. (Black crime in New York City did plummet under Rudolph Giuliani, don’t you know). Finally, these racist Democrats promise to empower black women through abortion rights, but this amounts to catastrophically high numbers of black abortions. (The black abortion rate is 3.6 times that of the white abortion rate; how racist is that?). And if you’re black and oppose all of this, you get smeared as an Uncle Tom, as black Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas has known for years.
So through a combination of flattery, gifts, threats, and lies, racist Democrats keep poor blacks suffering on their plantations, just like they did in 1850. The more things change, the more they stay the same. How elegant! How persuasive!
Sigh.
I am aware that vultures have been gnawing away at this dead horse for a long time now, so there is precious little left to beat. Dissidents have been justifiably mocking DARR as a recruitment strategy since its inception for three main reasons, as far as I can tell:
- It never works; even the most popular Republican candidates struggle to get more than 10% of the black vote. Nothing can invite ridicule better than repeated failure.
- It accepts the legitimacy of the enemy narrative that racism is bad, and anti-black racism especially so.
- It ignores how the Democrats are the real racists — against whites.
While these three reasons are enough to render DARR completely worthless, I have yet to see a systematic dismantling of the idea which even conservatives would have to take seriously. Is there a more economical reason why DARR fails to persuade blacks not to vote Democrat than that bitches brew of flattery, gifts, threats, and lies? Better yet, could it be that black people have legitimate reasons to vote Democrat, despite DARR?
This is where the two major personality flaws of midwits come in. First, Republicans who promote DARR are infatuated with its internal elegance while never publicly admitting that if it was going to work at all, it probably would have by now. Decades of DARR have not moved the needle one jot. Blacks are just as likely to vote Democrat now as they ever were. More importantly, however, DARR proceeds from the fallacy that baseline humanity is not racist — or, more accurately, not tribal. This stems from how DARR’s proponents in the Republican Party tend to be Western or Northern European white, which is the least tribal and most individualistic group of people on the planet. Basically, the midwits promoting DARR simply assume that blacks are every bit as individualistic as they are, and will therefore be moved by arguments which focus on how DARR will improve their lives as individuals.
And make no mistake, DARR will do that. There is too much data to say it won’t. So bully for DARR for that.

You can buy Spencer J. Quinn’s Solzhenitsyn and the Right here.
The problem is that black people are intensely tribal. This trait is the result of how they evolved — or didn’t evolve — as an isolated group south of the Sahara for hundreds of thousands of years. They can’t help it. It is who they are. This means that when blacks vote, they weigh what’s good for the tribe against what’s good for the individual, and often the former wins out. Material poverty is something that low-IQ sub-Saharan blacks never needed to rise above before the whites showed up, given their near-universal squalor, and so they remain mostly impervious to economic arguments. Sub-Saharan blacks have also shown themselves to be more violent and less empathetic than other races. Thus, arguments about crime and abortion are just as likely to fall on deaf ears.
So race realism offers a more economical reason for why blacks reject DARR when compared to the more convoluted Democrat flattery, gifts, threats, and lies theory. By appealing to DNA and the resulting average IQ and differing temperament of races, race realism only has to be true once to work, whereas flattery, gifts, threats, and lies — what the racist Democrats presumably do to black people — has to work all the time and everywhere. A much less likely proposition.
Okay, so blacks may not care so much about how DARR can improve their lives as individuals. But is it true that accepting DARR will simultaneously worsen things for blacks as a discrete demographic group in the United States? I would say yes.
For blacks in the United States to make their presence felt on the state and national stages, they need one thing more than anything else: space. They need to completely dominate entire cities, or portions of or precincts of cities, in order to be able to elect their own as representatives. These people then go to the state capital or to Washington, DC to represent them, as well as to push whitey around as best they can. Blacks come to do this not by fighting crime or reducing unemployment, but by doing as little as possible to stop their own misbehavior in their own neighborhoods. That way, non-blacks stay away. Nobody wants to live with them, and as a result, blacks have spaces to call their own. They may not be very nice spaces, but that doesn’t matter when they are tallying votes in the House of Representatives, does it?
Democrats allow blacks to have their own space as blacks, and this is worth a cut in the standard of living for most of them. On the other hand, Republicans through DARR offer blacks a higher standard of living, but less space, since low unemployment and low crime and similar good things will attract non-blacks to spaces formerly controlled by blacks. Blacks will suddenly find themselves minorities in their own cities, precincts, and neighborhoods. With less space comes less influence, which is what Republicans unwittingly promise blacks when they offer to improve their lot. This is why so many blacks loathe Republicans: They threaten the racial identity and continuity of blacks in America, and thus chafe against their innate sense of tribalism.
And you know what? They’re right. In this sense, DARR Republicans naïvely treat blacks as Americans, not as blacks. More specifically, they treat blacks as if they were white Americans — that is, as people who in large part care more about the economy and standard of living than they do tribalism. That black people on average are nothing like this is the main reason why claiming that the Democrats Are the Real Racists will always fail.

“With less space comes less influence, which is what Republicans unwittingly promise blacks when they offer to improve their lot. This is why so many blacks loathe Republicans: They threaten the racial identity and continuity of blacks in America, and thus chafe against their innate sense of tribalism.”
This is a great point, Spencer — very explanatory of why DARR Republicans have never made any headway and never will. I find their obsequious devotion to MLK, Jr. extremely hard to take. Their inability to see through this fraud is just another indication of their hopelessness.
Whenever I hear Marching Looting K4f mentioned, I also cringe.
Ditto with the other numinous negro, Nelson Mandela.
It’s like they’re talismanic figures. Both flawed…King more than Mandela. But the reason Mandela wasn’t released earlier from Robben Island was….he refused to give up the armed terrorist struggle.
I was listening to a Robin Sharma yt video just now…and of course these two odious characters were mentioned…plus some negro sportball ‘star’ WTF?
Black people have hoisted themselves by their own petard by getting Biden elected (perhaps via fraud in the cities) who is presiding over 8% inflation, 5 dollar gas, epic crime, deadly vaccines, and millions of illegals pouring over the border competing for jobs. Not to mention his catastrophic failures in foreign policy. The fact is republicans treat black people better than anyone, not only freeing them 150 odd years ago but also wanting them to not be aborted en masse. But black people have started to jump the shark in the last two years, and if they don’t want to vote republican AKA be in my political party that’s fine with me.
Republicans didn’t free the Negro. White people did. Ask a Negro to show gratitude to the White person and ask a rock to sing. Both will happen at about the same time.
Whites freed them twice, I would say. Once with the 13th amendment, and once with the trans-Atlantic slave trade itself which rescued blacks from the state of nature they created for themselves in Africa.
Do you think you might be giving blacks way too much credit?? I don’t think for a second that they consciously allow for crime to go unabated. Most are participants. It’s just going to happen and they don’t view it in the same manner that we do.
The same with unemployment. They’re content living whatever they can bilk the taxpayers out of. There’s no stigma about being jobless. I can’t tell you how many of met that claim to have ADD. Someone must figure it out then tell all their friends.
The main reason they don’t vote republican is their hatred of us. It’s just that simple.
How am I giving them too much credit? They want space of their own and shitting the bed is the best way to make sure that the space they occupy remains their space. Democrats make it easier for them to do that than Republicans.
I agree with everything you say above, by the way.
“Democrats are the real racists” also fails with Asians, and other non-White groups.
“Democrats are the real anti-Semites” fails with Jews.
The Democratic Party is antiwhite. Its pro LGBTIQ++ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) supporters know that they are in a conflict against straight White men.
No verbal trickery will make them forget the friend / enemy distinction.
Verbal trickery is a great way to describe DARR. Thanks.
Interesting point you make that Democrats act more like blacks are a distinct constituency to cynically placate rather than trying to integrate them as Republicans do. Similar to how leftists treat blacks differently in emails by phrasing things differently. They know there’s a difference, and blue states Google pejoratives for blacks just as much as red states, which means they may dislike them as much. The difference is they exploit blacks to get ahead more than rightists do. By the way, Biden looks like Kurtz from Heart of Darkness in that photo. Maybe when whites are no longer the majority Bidens of this world will no longer be able to sell out their race in exchange for being a Kurtz in power.
Kurtz made himself a demigod among untermen. Without Biden’s mercs, Cornpop would be eating his liver.
Many Jews fancy themselves as the Real Mr. Kurtz. See VladTV, who situationally alters his speech, grammar and apparent intelligence wildly in the lefty style you mention. The comments on his videos, however, indicate the wrong heads might ultimately adorn the yard.
Blacks like free shit and don’t care about the consequences, just keep dem gibs coming, whitey and you’ll get my vote!
“…tend to be Western or Northern European white, which is the least tribal and most individualistic group of people on the planet.”
Ever heard of the Law of Jante?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante
Great point. I’m not sure what the basis is for the American claim that whites are uniquely individualistic. Europeans who read this site will understand that individualism is actually about as common here in the white homeland as it is in Asian countries. Not very. Adherence to the societal norm and the established system is paramount and anyone who tries to deviate is subject to a campaign of being cut down. This is actually the primary weapon against dissidents: total conformity, a lack of individualism, the branding of dissidents as being deviants, and against the prevailing moral code. I believe this is the case even in America. The downfall of the white race is not our allegedly unique individualism, but our collective adherence to a moral code that was foisted on us by our racial enemies.
Hi Dorfmann, tribalism and groupthink are not the same thing. Whites will more often base their worldview on individual interests rather than racial interests than any other race in a multi racial society, I would say. Blacks and Jews do this much less often.
Great essay. Great points.
Maybe Republicans should tell blacks that the Dems are witches and that voting Democrat will cause ghosts to appear in their homes. I’m sure it’ll work a lot better.
Great insight here on the DARR phenom. Collectively, even middle class blacks act as a gang. Black-on-black crime is “internal”, but a single white-on-black police shooting is cause for years long tribal warfare. Democrats offer money and influence and media favors, while Republicans offer abstract concepts like “individual responsibility” and “honor”. Even if an individual black person is intelligent enough to understand the arguments behind DARR, he must act white, abandon his tribe and become an Uncle Tom. It’s a pretty high bar.
The point about their lack of empathy for anyone outside the tribe is the real determinant. For example, do blacks ever assemble caravans to go help white Midwest towns crushed by tornadoes or flooding? Whites from all over the country foolishly drove to New Orleans to help blacks after the hurricane. And what do you get for it? Nothing but criticism for leadership and not helping enough. They really need their own space and not to have to live by white standards. It’s not racist it’s fact. If you actually listen to them it’s what they want. Trouble is they can’t generate enough of an economy to survive. That’s where whites have value to them is by plying them with cash. Without our own space it’s a recipe for disaster daily.
This is one of the best and most succinct explanations of the Black community I’ve ever read. It does indeed offer all the reasons that they would be so much better off and happier living in their own communities, with their own kind. Though it does bring up the ‘forever question’ of how they will support themselves? Answer: relying on the pathological kindness of Whites worldwide, as always. But if we could at least get them from underneath our feet in America, and into their own countries of choice on the African continent, life for everyone else would be improved mightily.
There’s similarity between the black politics in America today and the behavior of warlord bands in Sub-Saharan Africa: staking out tribal territories and defending them with armed force, raiding surrounding regions to extract resources, glorifying thug culture over bourgeois comforts, shaking down NGOs, exploiting chaos over order, rallying around the Big Man (whether a gang leader or political chieftain).
Anthony Clayton covers this phenomenon in his book, “Frontiersman: Warfare in Africa since 1950.” It’s about control of space in which the warlord has freedom to operate and bestow the goodies to his followers. As in Africa, so in America.
This is why black thugs offed by law enforcement are turned into martyrs. The thug element is the warrior class and so becomes the object of hagiography.
Regarding increased black victimization by violent crime in the Homeland, that is written off as collateral damage. More homicides in the ‘hood translate into more blaming YT for gun violence and the terrible legacy of slavery-segregation-micro-aggressions-whatever ™, and thus another front in the never ending shakedown insurgency.
Sudhir Venkatesh in his “Gang Leader for a Day” observes that South Side Chicago gangs were being recruited as street level activists (aka muscle) by the Democratic Party machine because the gangbangers had de facto control of the ‘hood. He notes that a reason for this move was that the Democrats were traumatized by the 1960s New Left rebellion as it meant that the up and coming generation of radicals couldn’t be relied upon…the confrontation between the New Leftists and Mayor Daley’s police at the 1968 Chicago Democratic convention was the turning point.
You have to ask if the current mayor of Chicago’s lenient on crime policies are a payoff to the gangs. The gangs are given a free hand to loot the business districts and force out conservatives. In return, the Democratic machine stays in power for-ev-er. And perhaps the BLM mayhem of the last several years is an extension of this tactic on a nationwide scale.
Where is Ian Smith when we needed him?
This is a great and memorable assessment of the entire ‘Black Problem’ in the U.S. and also speaks to the African ‘refugee’ problem in all of Europe — our ‘other’ H0meland.
I’m reading Smith’s autobiography right now. Maybe I will write a review for CC.
Fuckwit would be the correct description for the average White American, republican or democrat.
I prefer the term ‘fucktard’
Thank you, Spencer, for this insightful article. I have long known that the Democrats are the real racists as the advocates and practitioners of anti-white racism. You really drive home the point that blacks are above all else tribalists, and that this is the true reason that the vast majority of blacks will never vote Republican.
If only whites were as tribalist as blacks (let alone Jews), we would not be in the mess we find ourselves in today. Our individualism is the weapon of our own slow suicide.
The behavior of the other races is ultimately caused by the end result of evolutionary forces. And so is our own.
But whites exhibit a very wide degree of evolutionary responses (wider, I think, than any other race). The only way we save our race is via territorial ingathering of prowhites, and subsequent working for our own sovereignty (followed by extensive military investments, and both natalist and eugenic encouragements). Too many whites are more wedded to their own evolutionarily maladapted psychological utopianism than to racial survival.
Increasingly, I think the (academic) keys to saving our race are to be found in social psychology, philosophical ethics, and moral theology.
The thing, the whole issue is a an evolutionary process. The weak whites being separated from the ones who will make it. All these territories and and institutions we made being torn asunder in the process. Imperium
“If only whites were as tribalist as blacks (let alone Jews), we would not be in the mess we find ourselves in today. Our individualism is the weapon of our own slow suicide.”
I agree. White racial survival is a team game.
You are most welcome, Ultrarightist. Im glad you enjoyed it.
I love the use of the word ‘sable’ in reference to the African-Americans among us, since that appellation is too cumbersome, and ‘that other word that cannot be spoken’ can now be nicely replaced. If you’ve ever seen and felt the real thing, from the furry little creature of the weasel clan, you will know it’s a complimentary comparison. So, I welcome all my sable brothers and sisters into the conservative arena, but you’ll have to leave a great amount of baggage behind, especially expectations of welfare and reparations, etc., and your criminal inclinations — and that’s just the beginning. There will be no longer any special privileges in getting hiring preference or scholarships at colleges, nor ‘equality zoning’ in neighborhoods. Otherwise, you’re welcome to the hard-work, law and order brotherhood that Whites have laboriously built in this country. We’ll see how long it lasts,
Thanks, Alexandra. I never use the term ‘African-American.’ Too many syllables and it pretentiously bestows a high level of respect upon a group of people that, as a whole, do not deserve it. Further such respect is never bestowed upon whites.
‘Sable pawns’. Yes, thank you for noticing that. I had to search a bit before finding it. It has a trochaic quality I found suitable for the essay.
