What I Don't Like About Black America

I want to phrase this piece in the context of disappointment more so than contempt for a group of people that I come from. I am not a self-hater trying to fit in with the dominate society.

I am not a Coon, Sellout, Sam Bo or Uncle Tom. Even though Uncle Tom was the hero in Uncle Tom's cabin, somehow that name has been used as an insult primarily by African Americans against other blacks they don’t agree with. But I digress.

I’m not here to make friends by writing this piece. I’m here to bring awareness to our condition and prove a point. I am not going to apologize, retract or take back anything that I say in this article.

I am fully aware that I will be attacked by my own kind, but I do not care. I’m saying what needs to be said and if those that get offended don’t like it. I ask that you look at the merits of what I’m saying, do your own research, and get out of your Goddamn feelings.

This election year has really taught me a lot about black Americans. It taught me how stupid Politically we really are as a whole when it comes to politics, and I’m disgusted, embarrassed, and ashamed at the moment.

President Donald Trump was loved by the black community for decades prior to becoming President.

Once he became President, the white liberal establishment told African Americans to hate Trump because he was a racist. They pulled out the old race card and we fell for it hook, line and sinker.

All the black celebrities loved Donald Trump. They took pictures with him.

They made favorable rap songs about him, and people like Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton received millions of dollars from him over the years.

When Jesse Jackson ran for President in 1984, Trump donated to his campaign.

Was he racist then? And if he was, why did our black elites knowing associate themselves with a racist for decades, only to have a change of heart when the white liberal establishment told them to do so? But I’ll address that in another article.

Since the Democrat Party & white liberals control the minds of African Americans.

They went on a 4-year tear fighting Trump, hating Trump and physically attacking Trump supporters with violence because the Democrat Party & the white liberal establishment told them to do so.

In order to understand how black Americans got in this Political low IQ condition. I will have to first get to the root of the problem by addressing our political ignorance.

In 1964 Malcolm X gave a speech called, “The Ballot or the Bullet.” And in this speech, he said, “Any minority that has a block of votes that’s willing to stick together is in a strategic position.” He spoke about how our vote decided who went to the White House.

How the vote amongst whites were divided in 1960, but how our vote was the determining factor in President Kennedy getting elected. And despite our vote being the determining factor, we got nothing out of it?

Malcolm X also said, “that we are political chumps, because we allow ourselves to be used as a tool by the Liberal Democrat Party to get our votes for nothing.

Since 1960, Democrats have been in Washington only because of the African American vote. We have religiously as a whole voted for the Democrat Party for 60 years straight.

A report by the Urban Institute says that, the state of the African-American family is worse today than it was in the 1960’s.

The report also discloses that families of all ethnicities are showing a decline; however, the African-American household has suffered the worst decline.

Malcolm X also said, “Anytime you throw your political weight behind a party that controls the Government, and that party can’t keep their promises that they made to you during election time, and you are dumb enough continuing to identify yourself with that party, then you’re not only a political chump, but you’re a trader to your race.”

Now those are powerful words from a great man and beautiful sole. May God bless the family of Malik-El-Shabazz aka the Great Malcolm X!

In the 1950’s and 60’s, African Americans were marching, protesting, chanting slogans, rioting, begging and demanding social justice. In 2020, African Americans are still marching, protesting, chanting slogans, rioting, begging and demanding social justice.

Now, I’m not here to attack the Democrat Party, because I know how much the African American community love them some Democrats.

But what I am going to attack is the policies that put African Americans in this condition in the first place, and why the African American community foolishly continues to vote as a unit for the Democrats.

When John F. Kennedy ran for President in 1960, he made a lot of promises to African Americans. And he also was a champion of African American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s. It was because of this perceived act of goodness by JFK, African Americans fell in love with the Democrat Party.

Because Kennedy ran on domestic policies designed to alleviate poverty and promote equality. So, because of that promise, African Americans ran to the Democrat party in droves.

When JFK won the election in 1960 and became President in 1961, African Americans celebrated like it was the 4th of July. We finally had a champion in the White House that was going to help Black people.

But Kennedy failed to do any of the things he’d promised before he was assassinated in 1963.

So, when Lyndon B. Johnson took over as President after Kennedy’s assassination. Shortly thereafter, he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

When Barry Goldwater, a Republican, ran for President against LBJ, he opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act because he believed it was a piece of Communist Legislation.

That was perceived by the African American Community as racist, and that the Republican Party, who used to be a Champion for African Americans, had turned on them. And black people have been voting for the Democrat Party ever since.

However, this is where LBJ & the Democrat Party tricked African Americans. Now, there were some Democrats who were angry and left the Party around that time.

The Democrat Party used to be known as the Party of Slavery and Jim Crow. And the Republican Party was known as the Party of Emancipation and racial integration.

Democrats were known as the Confederacy, and the Republicans was known as the Union. Now, today's Democrat supporters will tell you that the 2 parties switched political views in the 1960’s.

Thus, the Republicans were now known as the racist party, and the Democrats were now known as the champion for black America.

Even though in 1954, Dwight Eisenhower, who was a Republican and the 34th President of the United States… supported the Supreme Court decision to desegregate public schools.

He also enforced this decision by sending the 101st Airborne to Little Rock Central High School to enforce integration. Which was one of the things that African Americans were fighting for at the time.

So, the myth that Republicans did not help African American causes in the Civil Rights Era is just not true.

Now the second myth that I’ve been hearing for years is that the parties switched. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In 1964, there were 21 Southern Democrat Senators that were angry with the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, and they in fact did leave the party.

But they did not join the Republican Party. There were 295 Democrat Members of the House or Representatives in 1964. And there were 140 House members of the Republican Party at that time as well.

There were 63 Members of the Senate for the Democrats in 1964, and only 37 members of the Senate for the Republicans.

To say that the Democrats as a whole just up and switch sides and the Republicans Party became Democrats Party & vice versus is just not true.

Of the 21 Democrats Senators that left the Party in 1964, only one joined the Republican Party, and his name is Strom Thurmond. Strom Thurmond was a racist Democrat Senator who did not believe in the Civil Rights act of 1964.

The other 20 Senators continued to be elected as Democrats over the years. And those seats did not switch to Republican until another 2 and a half decades. Strom Thurmond felt betrayed by the Democrat Party and he left, later joining the Republican party.

Now some might say that the Republican Party later took on Democrat views and policies of racism and bigotry. And that the Democrats later took on Republican views and policies of Civil Rights & integration. Which is where the 2 parties switched sides rumor come from.

Now, do both parties have racist members in the House and Senate? Of, course they do. I just wanted to dispel the myth that both parties just up and switched sides in 1964 because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In fact, more Republicans in the House and Senate supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than did Democrats from a percentage standpoint.

Now that we got that out of the way, let’s look at why African Americans are politically dumb when it comes to politics, and how our political ignorance keeps us in this condition as a whole until this day.

Now let’s look at how anti-black policies are hurting the African American Community across the country. Have you ever wondered why urban communities across America have the highest crime rates, abortion rates, murder rates, poverty rates, poor health rates and low unemployment rates?

Even though most of these cities have black mayors, black police chiefs, black county commissioners, and black local politicians.

It’s Democrat policies that’s destroying the African American community and we keep voting for them religiously and get nothing in return.

Look at cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles. African Americans are doing terrible in these cities and they are all run by Democrats.

The single motherhood epidemic is destroying the African American community. In 2013, 72% of black families were led by single mother households. In these communities, the crime rate and poverty rate are astronomical.

The creation of the welfare state by the Democrat Party under LBJ has destroyed black families across the country.

Let’s look at the data. In 1965, 71% of Black families had a 2-parent household, where the mother and father worked together as a family unit.

According to Crystal Wright, author of the book called “Con Job: How Democrats Gave Us Crime, Sanctuary Cities, Abortion Profiteering, and Racial Division.”

She quoted Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who was the assistant secretary of labor to Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, warned that the black family was on the verge of a “complete breakdown” because of growing illegitimacy rates: in 1963 the out-of-wedlock birth rate for whites was 3 percent, and for blacks it was 23.6 percent.

This was seen as alarming back then. Moynihan was part of a generation of Democrats who cared about lifting blacks up into the ranks of equal opportunity with whites.

Fast forward 57 years later, according to Kids Count Data Center, as of 2018, the single parent family household in the black community was 6,166,000. Broken down by race, however, the statistics show stark differences.

According to Afro News, “the percentage of white children under 18 who live with both parents almost doubles that of Black children, according to the data.”

While, 74.3 percent of all White children below the age of 18 live with both parents, only 38.7 percent of African-American minors can say the same as of 2019 statistics.

Now I can go on and on, but this statistic alone is the single most-deadliest thing that has happened to the black community. When there’s only one income coming in to feed the family, it creates a recipe for poverty.

Poverty creates a recipe for crime. Crime creates a recipe for self-destruction, and there you have a dependence on welfare just to survive.

This is what the Welfare State produced. I remember when me and my mother was on welfare, a case worker would come by every month to make sure a man did not live in our apartment in the projects.

As long as there was not a man living with us, the Government would continue to give my mother a Welfare check.

This incentivized women not to work. Encouraged them to have more children, and since the father could not be there, it forced black women to raise children on their own.

The legacy of the Welfare State is what created the problem that’s affecting the African American community today.

Prior to 1960, the majority of black families consisted of 2 parent households. The Welfare State, created by LBJ in the 1960’s, to so-call help black Americans, ended up destroying the black family. It was this failed Democrat policy that single handedly destroyed the black family in one generation.

Now, when it comes to politics. African Americans don’t have a clue. Even though blacks have been in America longer than any other ethnic group. Other groups come to America and take full advantage of the political system for the benefit of their group as a whole.

Let me explain. Politics is the study of a special kind of power that humans exert over one another. Politics as a discipline ask questions about power. What it is? Who should have it, and under what conditions? When should that power be exercised? And in what way that power should be exercised and for whom?

Since the 1950’s and 60’s, African Americans understanding about politics, starts & stop at Civil Rights. We don’t understand how to use politics as a tool to bring about real change in our community.

We believe that if we cry, moan, complain, beg, riot, yell and scream loud enough that politicians will do something for us.

That’s not how other ethnic groups that come to America get what they want through politics. The key to understanding how to use politics as a tool for change is to understand how to control your local representative.

Meaning, control the politician. Politicians don’t respond to begging, crying, moaning, complaining, yelling and screaming.

Politicians respond to the collective vote, and money. If you know how to leverage your vote to get what you want, that’s power. If you have enough money as a collective to buy your politicians, so they can work for you, that’s power.

Since we give our vote away for free to the Democrat Party, the Democrat politicians don’t have any incentive to do anything for us that will bring about real change in our communities.

If I can get something for nothing from a certain group, without giving anything in return, then why should I do anything for that group?

The Asians understand this. This is why they have Chinatown & Little Tokyo. The Cubans understand this. This is why they control the politics in Miami.

They also hold key political positions in the city and throughout the state as well. Every ethnic group understand this when they come to America.

However, in 2020, African Americans still don’t get it. This is why African Americans have voted 60 years straight for the Democrat Party and received nothing in return.

Barack Obama gave a speech to Morehouse College in 2013 and this is what he told the African American graduates and faculty, in the audience. And I quote, “Black Americans have to stop making excuses for our failures in life.”

“Stop using racism as an excuse to not excel in life.” Obama also said, “Excuses are tools of the incompetent, use to build bridges to nowhere and monuments to nothingness.” He also said that family is the foundation to success, and that we have to build strong black families.

The first black President of the United States told African Americans that we have no time for excuses. That we should not use excuses to prevent us from being successful in life. Barack Obama also said that nobody is going to give us anything that we did not earn.

But the most important part of his speech is when he said that, “everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at the responsibility of family.”

The African American culture is also destructive as well. Our belief system comes from our culture, and has an effect on how we act, and what we believe in.

We call black intellectuals Uncle Tom’s, Coons, and Sellouts because they’re not hip enough, or because they are articulate and value education and don’t subscribe to handouts.

When you think of the Jewish culture, you think of money, bankers, accountants, lawyers and doctors. When you think of the American white culture, you think of nerds, business, building, conquering, CEO’s and power.

When you think of Asians, you think of technology, strong family ties and hard workers. When you think of Hispanics, you think of strong family ties, hard workers and unity.

When you think of the African Americans, you think of thugs, gangsters, rap music, basketball, football, entertainment and dancing.

We promote the death and destruction of our race in rap music. We promote single motherhood, baby daddies, baby momma’s, as a badge of honor.

We praise promiscuous women, pimps, hustlers, drug dealers and gangsters. No other group openly promotes such negativity in their culture to the level of African Americans.

We tear down black intellectuals like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Herman Cain. We call them sellouts, Uncle Tom’s and Coons, while promoting Gangsters, Baby Momma’s, Ho’s, Pimps, Hustlers, Drug Dealers, Rappers and Entertainers.

African Americans voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden this election. Even though Joe Biden is an open racist, segregationist and bigot. He’s also pushed and wrote policies that decimated the black community.

IE the Crack Cocaine Law of the 1980’s & the 1994 Crime Bill that decimated the black family, and locked up black males at an alarming rate for long prison sentences.

But for some strange reason, we voted for him because of our hatred for Trump. Even though you can’t name one policy that President Trump has passed that affected African Americans in a negative way.

Intelligent groups vote based on policy. Intelligent groups vote based on what’s in it for them. Intelligent groups vote based on a list of demands that must be promised before you can get their vote.

African Americans vote based on sweet sounding rhetoric and emotions. Black women were twerking and dancing in the streets when Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election. Even though he is a racist, segregationist, and bigot. But because he’s a Democrat, it’s all good.

The real problem is the policies that we keep voting for that works totally against us. Black Americans loyalty to the Democrat Party has been the single most destructive choice that we’ve made. How can you vote for a party for 60 years straight and get nothing in return?

In Moynihan’s 1965 book called “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action,” Moynihan observed that because more blacks were being born into unmarried homes, more black women were becoming more dependent on welfare to survive.

Then, as now, blacks represented only a small percentage of the U.S. population but a disproportionate percentage of people relying on public assistance. At the center of this “tangle of pathology,” as Moynihan called it, was “the weakness of the family structure” among blacks.

“Once or twice removed, it will be found to be the principal source of most of the aberrant, inadequate, or antisocial behavior that did not establish, but now serves to perpetuate the cycle of poverty and deprivation.”

On another note. The majority of black babies are being born to single mothers — in my opinion, is a prescription for a life of poverty and crime.

And despite the warnings that have sounded off loudly for over half a century, Democrats have done nothing to stop blacks, their most steadfast constituents, from having babies they can’t take care of.

Just imagine if we had a policy that was promoted by the Democrat Party, to African Americans, that actually brought the family together? This problem has perpetuated itself for generations, producing generational poverty among blacks because the father is not in the home.

If black lives truly did matter, as Democrats shouted at the top of their lungs during this election cycle. Then why don’t they promulgate policies that encourage blacks to get married before they have kids?

Blacks’ voting overwhelmingly for Democrats over the past 60 years is the quintessential definition of political suicide.
But what’s bad for blacks translates into a high rate of return on investment for Democrats.

Marketing the “no baby daddy” syndrome to blacks has translated into votes, lots of votes, approaching 100 percent from blacks over the past half century. And the black family has been dismembered in the process, like the fetuses Planned Parenthood chops up to sell for profit.

Bill Clinton said in his 1992 acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination that, “Governments don’t raise children; parents do. And you should.”

Democrats have made it their priority for society to normalize the idea that the federal government should be responsible for parenting African Americans and their children.

Neither Clinton nor any Democrat president since Johnson has done anything effective to ask black Americans as a race to take responsibility for raising our kids.

No greater or more glaring example of liberals’ profiting politically off of black people’s misery can be seen than the Democrats’ refusal to address the illegitimate birth rate spiraling out of control among blacks.

More black babies are born out of wedlock today (72 percent) than into married homes. That’s dramatically worse than when Moynihan initially raised the issue (when it was 23 percent)—thanks to fifty years of encouragement by the Democrat Party.

In other words, in America today, it is rare for black babies to be born to married parents. Black fathers are simply not part of the black family equation. Think about that.

In 1964, Lyndon B Johnson, a Democrat and the 36th President of the United States, came up with a plan to deal with the African American community from a political standpoint.

He said, and I quote, “These Negroes, their getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us since they got something now, they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppity-ness.

“Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” It’s safe to say that thus far, LBJ was right on the mark.

As for the so-called black leaders in the African American community, like Al Sharpton, Roland Martin, Jesse Jackson and Black Lives Matter. These people are financed by white liberals, and their job is to neutralize blacks through race baiting rhetoric.

They do this in the name of racial justice, fighting racism, Social Justice, and equality. These so-called black leaders and organizations are nothing but professional race hustlers.

Booker T. Washington warned us about race hustlers. He says and I quote, “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.

Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. "Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

“I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out, they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Booker T. Washington saw these race baiters / race hustlers, way back then 1911. And here we are in 2020 and the race hustling is alive and well with people like Al Sharpton, Roland Martin, Jesse Jackson, and groups like Black Lives Matter.

Now the black elites and celebrities do not identify with the average African American. They are happy as long as they have their position in the dominate society. Their job is to make you think they are one of you, when in actually they’re not.

Yeah, they may look like you, but they are not on your side. Black elites only care about money, fame, success and their position amongst white elites.

When it comes to the Democrat Party, African Americans are like that Charlie Brown skit where Lucy is holding the football for Charlie Brown to finally kick the ball through the goal post.

Even though Charlie Brown knows that Lucy is tricking him, because she’s pulled the ball away a hundred times before, but he thinks that maybe just this one time it will be different.

Only to have Lucy pull the ball away and trick him again and have Charlie Brown fall flat on his back for the ump tenth time. African Americans are the Charlie Brown of American Politics, and the Democrat Party is Lucy.

No matter how much we vote for them, our condition doesn’t change, and we fall for the same trick every election cycle just to end up on our backs again and again.
