Where are they when you need them to speak up about illegal immigration, black crime, drug abuse, HIV/AIDs infections, and Planned Parenthood’s targeting of minority neighborhoods? Let’s face it: The campaign against the Confederacy is the latest distraction Democrats have fabricated to take black people’s minds off real problems decimating their communities and the self-inflicted injuries that come from irresponsible black leadership.
