There is a big focus on Trump trying to court Black men in the latest election. The Democrat Party and their state-run media are all up in arms complaining about what they consider a betrayal that Black men are moving toward Donald Trump. Black Democrats are fond of saying that they are not a monolith. When I hear that, I wonder if they have ever looked up the meaning of the word monolith, because that is exactly what they are. The Democrat Party is nothing without Black women, they would never win another national election if this group of people ever woke up and saw how they are being used.
Let’s get some historical facts out of the way because it seems like Black women have forgotten much of it. It was Democrats who ruled the South in the slavery days. It was Democrats who fought the Civil Rights Bill in the 1960s. It was Democrats who wrote and executed the 1994 Crime Bill that locked up three generations of Black men and called them Superpredators. In case you forget or never knew, it was called the Violent Offender Incarceration and Truth-in-Sentencing Incentive Grants Program. Sounds like a mouthful, right?
Well, Title II of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 provided incentive grants to build and expand correctional facilities (prisons) to qualifying states that enforced mandatory sentencing of 85% of a person’s sentence conviction. This very law signed by a Democrat president and written by the Democrat Party is the single most destructive force that has ever hit the Black community since slavery. All of this resulted in destroying Black families, and homes, and it created the absent father condition that has plagued the Black community ever since.
Now, let’s talk about history. It was the Republicans that went to war to end slavery. It was a Republican president who freed the slaves. It was the Republicans and their vote that made the Civil Rights Bill become law. It was a Republican president that undid the 90s crime bill with “criminal justice reform” when Trump reversed that “lock them all up” trajectory the Democrat Party had the Black community on. Throughout America’s history, the Republican Party has been in the corner of the Black Community from the start, but you would never know that today. Many Blacks might not know this history and the Democrats who have been running the public-school systems made damn sure they never learned these truths.
However, that is precisely what happened. Black women in America have and are voting for all of this struggle laid upon the shoulders of their men. Ironically, Trump is courting the biggest group of people in America who have lost their right to vote due to the Democrats and their crushing ideas about how to deal with crime and Black people in our nation. Black women are responsible for the current condition of their community and America’s economy. Black women caused this inflation putting Biden in office who wreaked our economic system. Without Black women, Joe Biden would have never made it to the White House. Black women and their vote have caused the evisceration of the life of American Black men resulting in putting them in prison for decades.
It is Black women that is giving the Democrat Party the power to hassle the rest of us. Until Black women learn this history, look up the word monolith, and stop voting for the political party that has used them, tricked them, and taken their ignorance for granted; America will never have a chance to turn the corner away from all of this in our lifetimes. There is so much talk about Blacks and their votes whenever we get near an election. When the election is over the Democrat Party disappears from the life of Black women, only to reappear at the next election cycle hunting their votes once again. This rinse-and-repeat cycle does not wash clean the stains of the Democrat Party’s history.
