Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
“Black Fatigue Goes Viral” is a recent social media trend. The white community, it seems, has had it with “black culture” and the pathologies associated with its adverse impact on the larger society.
A post made by “NoLibZone” highlights the underside of the black community without any reference to the major causes that fuel much of what this post called “racial victim culture.”
What the article fails to do is analyze how the socialist progressive movement in America exploited the black community to frame a narrative to support their goal of radically or “fundamentally” changing America into a socialist paradigm. The black community has been used as pawns in the leftist radical strategy to destroy and dismantle America, as articulated by its left-wing authors. In other words, the left has used the black community as pawns to achieve their malicious socialist design. The black community has been targeted and used by white liberal socialists.
The late David Horowitz wrote this about the Saul Alinsky radicals: “Their goal is to mobilize the poor and oppressed as a battering ram to bring down the system.” Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, Marxist sociologists and leftist political activists, developed a strategy that called for “cadres of aggressive organizers” to create street actions by the poor that would create “a climate of militancy.” Their approach is called “Manufactured Crisis.”
It has been and continues to be the left’s strategy to organize people with low incomes, especially the black community, to push their political agenda to divide America and create chaos. They have developed from legitimate concerns in the community for economic fairness, employment, better educational opportunities for black children, and fighting against double standards in policing and in our court systems to using black complaints to get their leftist candidate elected.
President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” programs are an example of how leftist programs contributed to the culture of dependency and victimology that is ruining the black family, promoting a “something for nothing” mentality in the community. Johnson’s program provided housing, food stamps, and WIC programs primarily to single female-headed households.
The Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program, a component of the “Great Society,” incentivized women to have children and provided disincentives for women to join the workforce. Some observed that the program, particularly the AFDC-Unemployed program, created disincentives for marriage and incentives for divorce due to its stricter eligibility requirements. The program has encouraged the absence of black fathers’ presence in black families. Single-female-headed households outnumber two-parent households in most black communities. The government has replaced the role of fathers, causing the demise of black families.
A major contributor to juvenile delinquency and the unusual crime rate is the absence of fathers in the home. Black boys grow up without the influence of a man. Most sociologists agree that a father helps boys understand who they are and what they will become as men. A mother cannot teach a boy how to be a man. Growing up without a father’s love can leave many black girls with a distorted view of what it means to be truly loved by a man.
Leftist programs facilitate the dysfunction evident in the black community. They intend to create a dependency class that can be used to foster discontent and racial division to accomplish their ambition to replace Western civilization with a socialist paradigm.
Their strategy stripped the community of self-determination and replaced it with a mentality of government dependency.
The average American is unaware of how the left has infiltrated black urban cities for over 40 years and organized to foment chaos and division in the public square. The black community has been bamboozled and deceived into believing these leftist Democrats will fight for their best interests. With the help of black political opportunists, the leftist Democrats have had unfettered access to the community to create their narrative of lies and manipulation.
White leftist liberals have created the monster of racial victimhood, and most in the white community are oblivious to what these leftists have done and are doing in the black community. You who are fatigued with black racial victims, take a closer look at the backstory and who is engineering the great divide in racial America. When you do, you will find white Marxists waiting to change America fundamentally.
It is the left that created the “racial victim” narrative and worked it ad nauseam. Yes, there is fatigue, and black folk are sick of the liberal abuse, too. However, the leftist strategy has accomplished its goal of divisiveness. Your fatigue is evidence that they are winning.
Here is what we know about the left in America: they seek chaos to “bring down” the system. We are now very close to the point they have been striving to achieve for decades.
It is this backstory that reveals what most are unwilling to acknowledge about the deliberate manipulation by the progressive left to abuse, exploit, and misuse black people to undermine America.
The black community has been a blind participant in their dark plot. However, many are awakening to its evil intent. It will take the black community to stop it. In the last election cycle, 42 percent of black men voted against the Democrats. They have awakened to their lies and deceptions. Unfortunately, white conservatives are too fatigued to recognize this turning point.
