Hey, Blacks: You're Too Stupid To Think For Yourselves!

That's what the Obama administration is saying to residents of Kinston, North Carolina (emphasis mine):

Voters in this small city decided overwhelmingly last year to do away with the party affiliation of candidates in local elections, but the Obama administration recently overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.

The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black.

The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.

First thought: which party is the one that is constantly focused on race again?  'Cause I keep forgetting.

Second thought: they're telling black people in Kinston that they are too stupid to vote for the right candidates unless they see that little "D" behind their names.  Why do blacks go overwhelmingly Democrat again?  'Cause I just can't figure that one out.

I like what Hot Air points out on this:

Bear in mind that this DoJ also dropped charges against the New Black Panther Party activists that intimidated voters in Philadelphia after the DoJ had already won the cases.  Now, somehow, stripping off party affiliations in local elections — which most American communities do — represents a bigger threat to electoral integrity than thugs threatening people outside a polling booth?  This DoJ has a curious sense of priorities when it comes to protecting voters.

Or perhaps not so curious.  The intervention explicitly aims to ensure that Democrats win local elections, which at least has the refreshing sense of honest corruption.  Democrats screeched when George Bush had the temerity to replace political appointments for US Attorneys that he had politicized Justice.  What the hell is this, then?  Holder has deliberately intervened into an area where the federal government has no jurisdiction — local elections — and did so explicitly to boost the Democratic Party.

If we actually had a Congress, why, this administration might be in serious trouble over this.

Yeah, we really need one of those.  The vote is in 2010, but it starts today, with the spreading of information like this from person to person, until the truth is widely known.  I can think of no more satisfying way to defeat Democrats than with a massive defection of African Americans who've finally figured out that they are still being treated like idiotic house slaves by the Democrat leadership.

There's my two cents.
