The great realignment continues, with an original Black Panther endorsing Trump

The Biden administration must be panicking about the shift in black support for Donald Trump. With one of the original Black Panthers chiming in to endorse Trump—and to say that Trump is not now nor has he ever been a racist—it’s nice to imagine that the panic has just escalated dramatically.

The Black Panthers, a violent, criminal, radical Marxist, race-based organization, was organized in 1966. Its members had grown up in the Jim Crow South or in other American regions that, while not having any official Jim Crow policies, still practiced actual systemic racism (unlike the imaginary systemic racism that today’s race hustlers traffic in for power and profit).

One of the people who joined the Black Panthers in their earliest incarnation was David Hilliard, who was born and raised in Jim Crow Alabama. He was right there when Huey Newton and Bobby Seale formed the organization. When Newton was arrested in 1967 following his involvement in Officer John Frey’s death, Hilliard became the Panthers’ interim leader.

In 1968, Hilliard himself was arrested for his involvement in an attack on two Oakland police officers. He was arrested again in 1969 for threatening Nixon. He went to prison in 1971 and served several years of a one-to-ten-year sentence. When Newton was murdered during a drug deal in 1989, Hilliard gave his eulogy.

My point is that Hilliard is the real deal: He was a victim of Jim Crow racism who became part of the core of true radical black activism in America.

However, it’s important to understand one of the beliefs that powered these original Black Panthers. Nine points out of the ten in the Panthers’ “Ten-Point Program” were pure Marxist agitation. The tenth, however, was a universal cri de couer:

“ HER DADDY IS AN ORIGINAL BLACK PANTHER”

It’s a miracle! A black panther sired a black hippopotamus.

“Its members had grown up in the Jim Crow South or in other American regions that, while not having any official Jim Crow policies, still practiced actual systemic racism . . .”

What does that mean? Didn't non-southern jurisdictions have official segregation policies; say Topeka?

Journalists should have to pass a test before writing on racial matters.

My prediction: Biden will still get 90% of the Black vote. Why? Because a sizable portion of the Black vote is cast by election workers who cast votes on election night on behalf of those who don’t bother to show up. That’s how things work in most big cities.

Odds of great re-alignment countering the great replacement ?
