I remember speaking at Northwestern University for the Young America’s Foundation back, I believe, in 2016. The topic was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aka the Iranian nuclear agreement. I truly enjoy foreign and national security policy, so I was well prepared for the presentation and the ensuing question-and-answer portion from the students. Now, Northwestern University is an academically elite institution, so I had rehearsed every possible question these astute young men and women might ask. And then came one of the great surprises of my life. A young female student stepped up for the first question and proceeded to ask me, “Do you identify as Black?” If you do not believe me, you can simply Google that question, and the exchange will come up. It was captured on video.

This past week, a white female Tennessee state legislator was brutally harassed as she departed the state capitol over the recently signed Tennessee congressional maps. Of course, there were vile and vicious racial epithets hurled at her.

You know, everyone believed that with the election, and reelection, of the so-called first Black president, Barack Hussein Obama, we would move past the divisive issue of race. Sadly, we have seen the issue intensify, but everything ain’t racism. What we are experiencing is a targeted effort of cultural Marxism to divide this nation not just by class, economic strata, but also based upon our skin pigmentation. What is the height of hypocrisy and irony is that these incessant charges emanate from the very political party that has fomented racism and racial discrimination for decades.

The recent U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision in Louisiana v. Callais, a correct constitutional decision, has resulted in declarations of the SCOTUS being illegitimate, and yes, racist. That is hardly the case. This nation, well, Republicans, passed three constitutional amendments to end slavery, grant citizenship to the freed slaves, and the right to vote to Black men. Susan B. Anthony, a strong abolitionist, spearheaded the women’s suffrage movement, which included Black women. The 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, was supported in Congress by 200 Republicans as opposed to 102 Democrats. Also, GOP-led states were instrumental in the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

So, let’s just do a little walk down memory lane for a moment. The party that did not support the 15th Amendment and had less support for the 19th Amendment, granting Blacks and women the right to vote, was the Democrat party. Yet, they are the ones in the streets yelping about racism and misogyny? I think we need to remember which political party created the KKK in order to intimidate Blacks from voting. And how funny that you have the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) funneling money to the KKK for the purpose of fomenting racial divisiveness. Talk about a self-licking ice cream cone. It is the same political party that created poll taxes and literacy tests seeking to prevent Blacks from voting. It is the same political party that was gerrymandering congressional districts, intentionally, in the South for the purposes of racial bias. It is the same political party that created the Voting Rights Act, Section 2, for the purpose of rectifying the issues that it created, only for increased political gain.

The Democrat party used racism to sustain segregation, which is what majority-minority congressional districts are. How absurd to hear someone say that white Democrats are not going to vote for a Black Democrat. Uh, ain’t that racism? And when one carefully assesses these particular congressional districts, the lack of educational and economic opportunities, along with rampant crime and broken families, well, I guess those Black Lives do not matter. Not to mention that the preponderance of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in these Black, majority-minority congressional districts. Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a vile and virulent racist who spoke at KKK rallies and referred to Blacks as undesirables and human weeds.

Yeah, but to the Marxist left, that ain’t racist, but breaking up their racist stranglehold on Black communities is racist to them, along with the economic plantation overseers like James Clyburn, Maxine Waters, and the host of race-baiting charlatans that have sold out Blacks for their own self-interest.

So, as an American Black Conservative who was born in a Blacks-only hospital in Atlanta, and grew up in an inner-city Black neighborhood, everything ain’t racism. We must stop allowing the term to be used as some trite means of deflection from the real issues that plague the American Black community. If we continue to fall for the insidious scheme of the cultural Marxists, then real racism will not be recognized because we will have become immune to the word.

And oh, by the way, Al Sharpton, I will, as an American Black man, be celebrating our 250th anniversary of independence. You and the rest of the insufferable clowns, such as Nikole Hannah-Jones and her 1619 Project nonsense, can feel free to relocate to another country. We know you will not.

I will close with this quote from my philosophical mentor, Booker T. Washington, “There is a 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.”

The SCOTUS Louisiana v. Callais decision means there are some race hustlers about to lose their jobs. And that ain’t racist; it is good for all of us.

Steadfast and Loyal.
