Black Power in Decline
Highly Respected ^ | May 14th, 2026 | Scott Greer

Posted on 05/21/2026 7:14:19 AM PDT by River Hawk

Just a few years ago, the nation rioted over a black career criminal’s drug overdose. We gave black America a second national holiday. American embassies flew Black Lives Matter flags all over the world. Democrats were all rushing to “study” reparations. Major corporations announced explicit racial quotas to ensure blacks got plum jobs. Rap was ubiquitous and black music was the only music allowed at the Super Bowl halftime show.

But things changed. We’re living in an age where affirmative action is diminished, DEI is rolled back, and rap is no longer in the top 40. Blackness no longer has the cultural cachet it once had, and now that may be reflected in Congress. That’s not to say black power is over. Far from it. It still has a lot of influence, particularly in academia. Our next president could still be black and black primary voters will still play a critical role in selecting the Democratic nominee. But black power isn’t what it once was.

White fatigue with peak blackness is an obvious factor, but not the only one. There’s also a surprising reason that plays a role: demographic change.

It’s widely understood that mass immigration would make America less white both demographically and culturally. But it was thought it wouldn’t diminish blacks in any way. We’d all still be honoring their heroes and listening to their music in a multiracial America. But the future may be different. The new Americans seem repelled by the Democrats’ obsessive focus on black interests. Native-born Black Americans (NBAs) are in demographic decline and black immigrants aren’t the same.

Mass immigration will upend the old black-white dynamic that shaped American society in the past. Something new will emerge.

They are being replaced faster than white people are.

So sick of the activist black grifting. It will be the death of us.

I still remember that Fortune 500 companies pledge to only hire “people of color” and did only hired 6% white employees in the wake of BLM lies.

There is a reason why Blacks under 45 are not so slavishly devoted to the Democrat party as their elders were/are....why more and more are leaving the plantation. They see full well that admitting vast hordes of illegal aliens to serve as cheap labor and take jobs hurts them. The same goes for illegal aliens soaking up public resources for food, housing, education, medical care, etc etc. Why stay loyal to a party that acts directly against your interests by trying to replace you?

I’m reminded of the days when I was walking a beat in the projects of DC.

Like, Snoop Dog and OJ? Cream of the crop, their heroes.

True. Accusations of anti-black racism don't fly with many of these "new Americans."

They also seems less concerned about accusations of anti-Semitism and homophobia.

Both the white majority, and America's traditional minorities, will see diminished political power in our increasingly diverse society.

I disagree.

We have:

Juneteenth

The black national anthem

Commercials are still depicting black women as the smartest folks in the entire universe and always married/with an idiot white dude

black history month

black congressional caucus

DIE has not been replaced, it's been renamed in various organizations

Abortion has caught up on liberals, because they aren’t growing. Even if liberals became pro-life, it would take 20 years.

The democrat Party says: Equality for blacks is racist !!

They must have special treatment such as Affirmative Action and other racial preferences.

Because (according to democrats) blacks are so stupid and helpless they can’t even get a voter ID card on their own.

Are whites still prohibited from appearing in most TV ads?

Just remember that the new holiday , Juneteenth is about .
It celebrates when Republicans freed slaves that Democrats were holding.

They can appear only if they play a subservient role to a black actor. Or if they are in a mixed-race family - I've seen a LOT of these in the past 3 years.

Blacks in this country have quality role models like Dr. Ben Carson and Thomas Sowell to look to but sadly they choose people like Sean combs, thug athletes and others of that ilk.

They really are their own worst enemy.

White women can appear as a Black man's partner.
