When Donald Trump was busy running
casinos, developing real estate, and starring in award winning reality
television shows, no one, not a single person in the media ever accused him of
being a racist.
After several flirtations with the decision to run for the
highest office in the land, in June of 2015 after a short ride down the
escalator at Trump Tower, he made his decision public and put in motion a
series of events that would turn history upside down.
Enduring a brutal primary campaign
against seemingly more qualified candidates, and eventually beating the “most
qualified presidential candidate ever” in Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump
inserted himself directly into the crosshairs of the race assassins who since
day one of his presidency have made egregious and blatantly false allegations
of him being a racist.
They have conveniently forgotten the awards given to him
by leaders in the black community for his charitable works. Men like Jesse
Jackson in the past have commended Trump for his work to enhance and better the
lives of persons of color.
They have overlooked the story of
the squatter found in one of his buildings, complete with video evidence
to substantiate the story. When threatened by building staff of being thrown
out onto the street, the woman was shown mercy by none other than Donald Trump,
and allowed to stay indefinitely. He also ensured that the woman receives food
daily and fresh flowers weekly.
The race baiters have flown by at
light speed the huge crowds of black conservatives who openly support the
president. People like Allan West, Candace Owens, and Herman Cain have been
denigrated and called horrible names by the progressive members of the black
community and labeled as traitors or “Uncle Tom.”
The race baiters have ignored Trump
appointments of persons of color to his administration like Ben Carson, Jerome
Adams, and Naomi Earp.
The race baiters have ignored the words and actions of
Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, who openly supports Donald
Trump. If Alveda King got a single inkling of racism from the President of the
United States, it would be highly unlikely and downright impossible for her to
support him. But yet, there she is, standing with Trump.
Men like Shaun King, Tariq Nasheed,
and Al Sharpton have made lucrative livings decrying the racism of Donald
Trump. Everyday there is a new column, television appearance, or radio
interview saying that the black man is being held down and that the black man
is a victim.
A victim of tax cuts? A victim of trade policies that are opening
up more job opportunities for blacks than ever in history? A victim of the lowest recorded employment
numbers for blacks in history?
Racism has transformed from a
psychological defect in the minds of men into a multi-billion dollar business.
The race baiters do not want racism
to go away. They feed on it. They need it. What else would they talk about if
all people got along regardless of their skin color? What would they have to
talk about? What books would they sell? The fact is, for the race baiters, as
long as racism pays, it stays.
That is the sad part. To these
race baiting talking heads, racism is a business. They have no real interest in
advancing the ideas of Dr. King, that men would be judged by the content of
their character and not the color of their skin. Much like with something like
cancer, there is no money in cures, only money in treatment. If somehow racism
was eliminated from human consciousness, many of these race baiters would be
out of a job, and have nothing of substance to contribute to society.
In converse, black women like
Diamond and Silk, who have over a million people who follow them on social
media, have been excoriated for their open support of Donald Trump. These two
incredible ladies have delivered a message that supporting Trump is not a
matter of skin color.
It is a matter of prosperity for all people.
Diamond and Silk have been censored by Facebook and Twitter and deemed
“dangerous.” What is dangerous about their message? Is it dangerous for black people
to be conservatives? The only danger is the Democratic Party losing votes. For
good.
Fast forward to current day. Kanye
West and Chance the Rapper have recently set the Twittersphere on fire. Openly
bucking the system, a system which demands black people stay on the Democratic Party’s
plantation, these two guys have taken a stand. As expected, their words and
thoughts have been attacked and demeaned as traitorous to the black community.
Why?

Because they are prominent entertainers who happen to be black and have
seen the light? The Democratic Party has taken the support of persons of color
for granted for the last sixty years.
Since the presidency of Lyndon Johnson,
the Democratic Party has pushed for programs and political schemes that have
done nothing of substance to advance persons of color. Welfare, affirmative
action, the NAACP, none of these things have panned out as planned and the gig
is up.
Persons of color are waking up to the message of the Trump.
Chance
stated openly that black people do not have to be Democrats.
That statement is antithetical to
the message pushed by the Democratic National Committee that they are the party
of the black community. What have they done for blacks? In a word, nothing.
Kanye and Chance are the first of
many that will eventually trickle out and stand tall with independent thought
that shatters the narrative that blacks must support democratic progressive
policies.
The world is witnessing a historic shift in the paradigms of the
past. No longer accepted is the premise that blacks must be Democrats.
The backlash against these two men
is futile.
The toothpaste is out of the tube. The criticism levied by other
entertainers will only embolden these men and others that choose to speak their
minds.
It is a beautiful thing to watch.
The decline of progressive mind
control over the black voter has begun.
It will not stop until the pillars of
liberalism are piles of dust that will be blown away by the winds of prosperity
and freedom
