My most confident prediction for the upcoming election is that black men who do not vocally support Vice President Kamala Harris will be treated with the same contempt as 53% of white men. woman Those who voted for President Trump in 2016 are already being attacked. MSNBC host Joy Reid recently Claimed Black men with traditional values are perceived as “close to white” and social media is filled with harsh criticism. caveat Slander against black men who don’t comply. This kind of public denigration is not new.
In 2020, Rutgers University Professor Brittney Cooper It is called Black men are “traitors” for voting for Trump. One Democratic congressional candidate said one in five black men Voted Black men who vote Republican have been viewed as politically ignorant race traitors who only want access to white power and privilege.
The immoral relationship between black feminists and white liberals complicates efforts to strengthen the black family because both groups underestimate the role men should play in the home.
Some worry that this rhetoric will intensify if the election doesn’t go the way Democrats hoped. I see this differently: as an opportunity to accelerate a necessary divorce between radical black feminists and the party they’ve been with for more than 50 years.
For progressives, party loyalty is far more important than peace in the home. Democrats want white women to rebel politically against their husbands, while the left expects black men to submit to black women and follow their lead at the voting booth. One reason black feminists feel comfortable publicly denigrating rebellious black men is directly related to the decline of the black family over the past half century.
Between adult 63% of Asians, 57% of whites, 48% of Hispanics, and 33% of blacks over the age of 18 are married. Couple Only 28 percent of black households are married, compared with 47 percent nationally. This marriage vacuum has been filled by a coalition of black feminists and white liberals who are the driving force behind the modern left. The forces of feminism and big-government patriarchy are eroding the foundations of the family by sowing discord between the sexes and encouraging women to treat politicians as pseudo-husbands.
Black women were Joe Biden’s strongest supporters, and they were determined to support Biden even as other progressives called for them to drop out of the race. The same black women who routinely insist that heterosexual white men are the greatest threat to American progress fought for Joe Biden with all their heart and soul.
The nomination of Kamala Harris as the party’s presidential candidate makes this mess a little more complicated. The pressure campaign to increase black voter turnout will intensify. Black men who don’t vote for Harris should prepare to be attacked in public.
The relationship between gender, family structure, and political participation is very clear. Vote Women are more conservative than their peers. Similarly, married adult They tend to vote more conservatively than unmarried couples. The reason is simple: there is no more conservative institution than the nuclear family. The nuclear family is built on the foundation of marriage, which itself represents a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman. For most married couples, this commitment extends to any children born within the relationship.
Fathers are traditionally responsible for leading, protecting, and providing for their families. Mothers are traditionally responsible for raising children and providing for the home. Every family has problems, but when mothers and fathers put their family above everything else outside the home, everyone benefits. The idea that women should be loyal to a political ideology or party rather than their husbands was born out of feminist indoctrination aimed at liberating women from “oppressive” patriarchal control over the home.
Since the 1960s, the government has allowed millions of women to “marry” into the U.S. government in exchange for food, shelter, and other basic needs. This is a new family structure that is targeted specifically at black communities. In this political love triangle, the government becomes the new head of the household, black women play the role of faithful partners, and black men are treated like teenage sons – old enough for some independence, but still under the control of their mothers and stepfathers.
This dynamic has evolved in recent decades as women have become more educated and economically independent, and the left has adapted by tweaking the patronage system to highlight influential appointments of Black women, such as Vice President Kamala Harris and the first Black woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The immoral marriage of black feminists and white liberals complicates efforts to strengthen the black family because both groups devalue the role men should play in the home. Many black women in the media criticize white women who follow their husbands’ lead in politics because male patriarchy is a foreign concept in communities where marriage is no longer the cultural norm.
I’d rather hear words Words like “loyalty” and “protection” should be used in the context of marriage and family, not about political parties and candidates. This is the challenge facing black Americans today. Politics plays an outsized role in our public discourse and upward mobility. If loyalty to a political party is considered a more important sign of unity than a man marrying a woman and having children, then planning for generational wealth is meaningless.
“Till death do us part” is a phrase applied to marriage, not to the American government. It’s time for black men to feel comfortable playing the role of family destroyer.
