So-called Black conservatives must have secret meetings.
During these meetings, they laugh at the ridiculous statements they make. They guffaw about how the statements are increasingly insane, while marveling at how pleasing their comments are to their racist White masters.
The latest coonish buffoonery comes from Florida congressman Byron Donalds.
During a Black GOP gathering, he made the following idiotic pronouncement:
“During Jim Crow, the Black family was together. During Jim Crow, more Black people were — not just conservative, because Black people always have always been conservative-minded — but more Black people voted conservatively.”
He proceeded to “explain” how government programs have created overdependence on the federal government and talked about how Democratic policies have destroyed gender roles:
"[T]here’s a difference between men and women anyway. Men have been created by God to be conquerors, to be hunters. A Black man in today’s America is looking around and saying, ‘How can I go hunt for my people and hunt for my family?”
Add Donalds to the ever-growing list of self-hating, right-wing pandering, so-called “Black Conservatives” who want to stay tight with Orange Julius, get their name in the press, and more than anything else, make money.
The Black family was together during Jim Crow? What does that even mean?
And Byron, read your history. Black people could not vote AT ALL where Jim Crow laws were enforced. Black voting was against the law. Period.
As for Black people being conservative and “voting conservative,” what Donalds would consider conservative and what real Black people consider conservative are two different things.
And as far as voting conservative goes, if Donalds means voting Republican, and I’m sure he does, Black voted Republican for years after Lincoln until they realized that the Party of Lincoln had also turned into the Party of Racism and Oppression.
There’s a reason why the Dixiecrats, southern Democrats who did not support Democratic-led civil rights legislation, switched to the Republican Party.
It wasn’t because that was the only choice.
It was because they found a home for their bigotry and prejudices.
Yes, men and women are different. Byron, thanks for clearing that up. We were really confused about that.
But don’t try to impose your Leave it to Beaver gender stereotypes on us. Every Black woman isn’t June Cleaver or Clair Huxtable. America has all kinds of people, and you can’t put them in one box or another.
The Byron Donaldses, Larry Elders, Mark Robinsons, and Candace Owenses of the world are a profound disgrace.
They don’t embarrass the Black community because every group has its sellouts.
But they do enrage.
Many people know of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion, the only one that had any success.
But many aren’t aware that there were two other large-scale slave rebellions that were repressed, one led by Gabriel (sometimes known as Gabriel Prosser) and Denmark Vesey.
Why did these two slave revolts fail?
Because slavers were tipped off by slaves seeking to curry favor with their owners, hoping to be freed as a reward for their treachery.
Every species has members whose self-preservation instincts overwhelm their morality and common sense.
For these people, the desire to achieve and acquire overcomes unity and self-respect.
When Blacks like Larry Elder suggest that descendants of slaveowners are owed reparations, you know that something is wrong.
When Mark Robinson says, “I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote,” you know that lunacy has entered public discourse.
When Candace Owens tweets, “Russian Lives Matter” after the invasion of Ukraine, you know who the puppet is, and who are the puppet masters.
There will always people like Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell.
People like Tim Scott will always kowtow to get ahead.
But the reckoning is coming.
And people like these will sow exactly as they have reaped.
Unreal.
