The Modern Enslavement of The Black Community in America
Townhall.com ^ | 25 July A.D. 2022 | Allen West

As we draw close to the pivotal 2022 midterm election in November, many are discussing the electoral trend of the Hispanic community away from the Democrat, progressive socialist party. When I was Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, I assessed that the reason why the Rio Grande Valley was blue was because we had not engaged with them. I remember being in Del Rio, Texas, at a Hispanic church for a showing of the documentary "Uncle Tom." There were those who asked, “Why show a documentary about black conservatism in the RGV?” The answer was simple--to show the Hispanic community what the Democrat Party had done to the Black community and let them know that if not careful, the same would happen to the Hispanic community.

Today we are witnessing a modern-day enslavement of the Black community on a 21st century economic plantation. We do not hear pundits talking about the black electorate because the black electorate is being destroyed and made irrelevant. Yes, I know, it was Rep. Jim Clyburn in South Carolina and the black Democrat vote there that saved Joe Biden's presidential campaign...but why?

Under former President Trump, black unemployment hit an all-time low. Historic black colleges and universities (HBCUs) received financial assistance. Black small businesses were prioritized and there was even a major criminal justice reformation. Mind you, none of this occurred under the so-called first Black president. No, not Bill Clinton, but rather Barack Obama.

Just recently, Kamala Harris spoke before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), an organization founded by white progressive socialists back at the turn of the century -- Mary White Ovington, Henry Moskowitz, William English Walling, and Oswald Garrison Villard. They selected a black man named W.E.B. DuBois as the face. DuBois was an avowed leftist who would eventually renounce his U.S. citizenship and fully embrace communism. At this gathering instead of addressing the harm done to the "advancement" of the black community, VP Harris decided to advance abortion. She made the comparison to slavery, of course not mentioning that the physical enslavement of Blacks in America was part of the Democrat party history.

The murder of unborn babies in America has had the most adverse effect on the black community, which only makes up 13% of the American population. The Black community in America is no longer the second largest demographic; it has been overtaken by the Hispanic community. Over 35% of the murder of unborn babies in America are done by some 7% of the American population--black women. And let's not forget who the founder of Planned Parenthood was, a white supremacist, racist, eugenicist named Margaret Sanger who referred to Blacks as undesirables and human weeds full of disease.

Those black lives do not matter in the modern enslavement of the Black community.

It is not just the murdering of black babies in the womb. Every major urban center, controlled by Democrats, can boast of astounding levels of shootings and murders of Blacks. I’ve got to ask, when was the last time Chicago Mayor Lightfoot, or any other mayor of a major urban center, especially Black ones, decried this violence...or for that matter BLM? They do not because there is little care or concern that blacks are slaughtering blacks; that just does not fit the political narrative. Sadly, it took a woman of color, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough of Minneapolis to condemn BLM protestors who were against a black man being shot after firing shots into her kitchen while she was cooking for her two Black children.

Heck, Joe Biden was on a show with a Black commentator when he said that "if you do not vote for me, you ain't Black." Of course, there was no challenge from the commentator, just like there was no response when Biden said, "they gonna put y'all back in chains" in 2016.

The only political organization that has ever put Blacks in America in chains is the Democrat Party, be them physical or metaphysical chains.

Denying school choice in the inner cities and relegating black children to failing public schools is an example of enslavement. Once the Democrats stood outside the doors of education preventing black kids from entering...now they stand inside the doors and prevent them from leaving for better educational opportunities.

Look at Baltimore, and witness the utter despair and degradation of humanity. The lack of thriving small businesses, or even grocery stores, has had a detrimental effect on health in the Black community. Successful businesses are thwarted because crime is allowed to run rampant, all because the left is more concerned with criminal rights than those of law-abiding Black citizens. Remember it was a Black man, Otis McDonald, who sued the City of Chicago, all the way to the Supreme Court, so he could be armed and protect himself in his own home.

The enslavement of the Black community in America is a tragic occurrence. It is enabled by charlatans and modern-day plantation overseers who benefit from the abysmal situations Blacks face. And of course, these are the same individuals who will assail those who have escaped this new plantation, wishing to not return.

I will close with the sage words of my ideological 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. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

Just the same as there were tribes in Africa who sold other Africans to white slavers...history is repeating itself before our eyes. I just pray that more in the Black community will have the scales fall from their eyes and embrace the shackle-breaking constitutional freedoms, rights, and liberties that America affords them.

Steadfast and Loyal.

History will show that it was the leaders of the black community, mostly the ministers, who sold their souls to the Democratic Party for a few pieces of silver.

Therefore they require “treatment” to break their cycle which they’ll never get as their it’s easier to be on the welfare lines rather than work a 40 hour week.

This is clearly true, which makes the Bell Curve authentic, simply not smart enough to connect the dots and overcome the media and community organizer misinformation.

It ain’t gonna stop until “The Black Community” is identified as Americans, first and foremost.

By far, the biggest enemy of black people is other black people.
It’s not even close.

Allen West, I have loved him since he was a US Rep from Florida! He is very Christian, wise, Patriot, just all you would want in a friend. Heard him at a forum as a candidate for governor of Texas. Sad as I think he was 4 years too soon since Abbott is the choice of the party this round.

I actually think West could have beaten BETO for things he does going outside the black community in things like this a Hispanic church group in RGV.

God bless you Col. West!!!

The title could well be The Modern Enslavement of the Entitled Community in America...it’s far from just blacks!! Now includes ILLEGALS!!!

Just think..if we deported all the illegals we’d use less carbon credits, have more water in aquifers, solve lots of crime issues, others would learn trades that are outdoors, etc.

It’s gotta be for VOTES as the elites are against everything these people burden the nation(s) with and we could easily depopulate quickly!!!

It’s very interesting to me that this would be the first article I see on FR this morning.

Not more than 20 minutes ago, I woke up from a dream where I was in an airport terminal, sitting next to Obama. We were talking about politics and he was lecturing me, in convoluted ways, about the struggle of “blacks in America”. I replied, “but Sir, how would you really know? You don’t live among them in either home you own. You’re nowhere near them!” Then, in typical dream fashion, he wisked me to a courtyard of run down apartment. I was standing with Obama, surrounded by black youth who all wanted something from me; some wanted to be friends, a few just wanted my wallet, and two wanted to kill me. It was uncomfortable and I just wanted out, and I certainly didn’t trust the help or protection of Obama.

I’m usually pretty good at interpreting dreams, but I have no idea where it came from, and it wasn’t especially profound. Yet, it showed me how much I live in a bubble and that the only partially black president they’ve had, lives in one, too.

The timing of seeing this article might be something I should think upon. Smh.

I hope it is just bad editing and Allen isn’t falling for the latest leftist linguistic strategy of further dividing us over superficial differences by capitalizing the adjective “black.”

These Hell holes that the Democrats have made to entrap their now enslaved servants, who can’t escape and can’t get a job because everything has been destroyed there.

"Back in the '60s, we blacks made a very bad deal with America.

We demanded that America help us develop. But if this was logical it was also naive. It seduced us into putting out faith right back into the hands of the same White America that had oppressed us in the first place. We began to live by a formula. America's racial guilt was our power. White guilt became Black Power.

Of course there was a catch. To milk White guilt we always had to be victims of White racism. White racism and black victimization became the heart and soul of liberal power in America."

I’ve been saying Blacks are waking up.

The Democrats sure seem to prove that they agree.

This is barking up the wrong tree.

You can’t “enslave” yourself. Slavery is involuntary, That’s what’s wrong with it.

It’s just like the disease model of drug addiction. Drug addiction has some features that are like a disease - the key difference is that sick people with real diseases want to get better.
