Star Parker, a former Democrat who previously “believed all the lies of the left,” now decries the division and race-consciousness expanding across America, even after the country elected its first black president.
While America could be more united, Parker says the “perception of racism has become big business” as America’s liberal black leaders “shake down corporations for billions of dollars,” divide America by skin color and reject Dr. Martin Luther King’s goal of making skin color irrelevant.
The “lies of the left” Parker previously believed included “the poor are poor because the wealthy are wealthy, that my problems were somebody else’s fault and that America was racist.” Her beliefs, she says, fueled a reckless lifestyle, including criminal behavior, drugs, sexual activity and welfare dependency. A life-changing Christian conversion gave her a new set of eyes, values and a commitment to wake up others to freedom that are trapped in welfare dependency.
Parker has been an energetic president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) since 1995. She runs the largest nonprofit dedicated to working in disadvantaged communities to infuse alternative conservative policies and values where they are not being heard. Parker is encouraged by the polls that show one-third of blacks share her conservative values.
“They haven’t heard from us,” she says, with the hope to help additional black communities if more financial support came to organizations like hers.
King’s movement was about removing barriers for opportunity and about “repentance and revival,” Parker says, while today’s radical social justice generation, with the “hard black left,” is focused on “revenge and redistribution.” Groups like Black Lives Matter feed into the perception that racism is everywhere, she explains.
Parker opened up to The Daily Caller News Foundation in an exclusive interview about how too few appreciate the “lonely life” black conservatives lead who challenge the liberal left orthodoxy. Forced to move out of her home recently due to security risks and intensifying hostility and threats for promoting a Biblical worldview, she joins other black conservatives in trying to accept this “new normal.”
She is convinced that when people hear truth, they recognize it. Preventing truth from being heard is why Parker believes the left works so hard to keep conservatives off college campuses and in the public square.
“If you have Christianity, a capitalistic society, and a Constitution that protects your interest,” they work for all Americans, Parker says, including blacks. BLM, she says, is indoctrinating blacks against these American values.
She’s woke, with the red pill.
Where has she BEEN?
This truth is so sadly needed out there.
“Black Leaders Peddle ‘The Perception Of Racism’ To Get Money And Power”
Word to yuh muthuh....
Pretty girl...
“Parker is encouraged by the polls that show one-third of blacks share her conservative values.”
Which in itself is a MIRACLE, what with the Democrats standing on their necks for forever!
Keep up the good work, Star! We’ve got your back. ;)
Racism has become an industry on which many depend for their livelihood. The irony is that it necessitates keeping many in bondage to flourish; people who are repeatedly told they cannot succeed on their own merit.
STAR PARKER where have you been ? Long time no see or hear from you. Hope you will speak out more often and loudly. God be with you Star.
Yes, the observation has been made many times before. But it’s always a kick to hear a recovering leftist say it again!
Maybe Star should spend more time on YouTube with Diamond and Silk....
Trump wouldn’t have won it without Blacks, Dems, Independents or any combination of the above.
Trump got that 33% black vote ????????
No, he got 8% of the Black vote & 29% of the Hispanic vote; though EVERY vote helped. But, you already knew that and are just being a dick.
You can vote against Trump again in 2020. *SMIRK*
I’ve been reading her columns for over a decade on WND.
The black plantation owners where put in charge of their own people and funneled fed tax dollars to keep their slaves happy quiet and behaved
They are laughing all the way to the bank in their “bondage”; the “race industry” provides a lot of jobs (usually in government, but increasingly in the private sector) for millions of tokens. We maintain an illusion of a black middle class with these gimmicks, and the recipients are quite happy to oblige. They simply fall further and further behind...
8% is not 33%
Or did you not take reading comprehension
I not only voted for Trump but donated over $500
So you can take your DICK and use it on yourself
