Wisconsin — Democrats Fly Identity-Politics Flag, and Virtue-Signal amid Calls for Liberation

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin is the worst place to be black.

It's an empirical fact. If you're of a darker hue, it's an experiential fact.

One of the last places one hears challenge to our generic ideology, racism, is from the Democratic Party.

Forget Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. Forget Philly, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis; they're all fonts of integration and social justice compared to Wisconsin and greater Milwaukee.

This tragedy is sustained by the gerrymandered-empowered White Party, with full cooperation from the Democrats that as a political force steers clear of fighting racism.

In this milieu, we consider heroic work of liberation fighters in Madison, Milwaukee, Wauwautosa, the whole state, including Fond du Lac, my native city where praise-the-lord hosannas co-existed with nigger jokes in the 1970s-80s.

Wisconsin's ole-time religion explains why Reps Tom Petri, (R-Fond du Lac), Toby Roth, (R-Green Bay), and James Sensenbrenner (R-White People) all opposed establishing Dr. King's holiday in 1983, (Gov Track).

Petri, Roth and Sensenbrenner knew Wisconsin — white and white — and racists were this trio's kind of people.

This is fine with Democrats, who respond today with virtue-signaling, which is to say a vacuous liberal emitting of sounds employing identity politics and political correctness, while embracing the brutal police war against black and brown folks.

Virtue-signaling and political correctness have the additional qualities of repulsing millions who see the toxic and insincere quality of liberal posturing on race, for example.

Wisconsin State Sen. Tim Carpenter

Consider the pro-drug war Wisconsin State Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) who antagonized a group of protesters in Madison in June, grabbed some headlines and continues his crusade against minorities following decades of service in the drug war.

Carpenter didn't show up to Madison for support Black Lives Matter in early Summer.

Carpenter is a cop-wanna-be who brags he "completed the Milwaukee Police Department Citizen Academy in 2018," and made the Wisconsin Professional Police Association Law Enforcement Honor Roll, (Drug Task Force).

Carpenter helped killed marijuana reform during the 2007-11 period when the Democrats controlled both the Wisconsin state legislature and the governor office.

Human rights and civil liberties do not occupy a prominent place in Carpenter and the Democratic Party's ambitions.

There were no decriminalization efforts, no decarceration, no ripping up the State drug crime statues, no eviscerating the Wisconsin Code of Ordinances, a common citation tool used by municipal police against minorities and dissenting citizens. Protesting, you inciting a riot.

So, just before the July Fourth Holiday, I posed questions and challenges to Carpenter on Twitter on why he was continuing to oppose efforts by black liberation groups, specifically citing his misreported conduct during the liberation protests here in June.

Carpenter's responses did not disappoint.

This is a politician demonstrating no comprehension of what police routinely, and systemically, inflict onto black and brown communities.

Instead, Carpenter protests that he is gay, hence is an "ally" of black folks, in his telling.

Carpenter even puts emojis on his Twitter posts, a revealing example of virtue signaling while advocating for public policy that makes Wisconsin the worst place to be black.

The social media questions and challenges and Carpenter's responses are posted below.

A question not included below, but one I pose here is: Will Carpenter oppose law enforcement action against all parties involved in his agent provocateur's conduct last June.
