CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 18, 2023
THE LEFT’S DOUBLE STANDARDS ARE ALWAYS ON DISPLAY IN WASHINGTON. TAKE THE NEW HOUSE MINORITY LEADER, CONGRESSMAN HAKEEM JEFFRIES. IN 1992, JEFFRIES WROTE AN EDITORIAL FOR THE BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY NEWSLETTER. IN IT, JEFRRIES COMPARED BLACK CONSERVATIVES TO SLAVES AND SAID THEY “THREATEN TO SUSTAIN THE OPPRESSION OF THE BLACK MASSES.”
HE WROTE, “THE HOUSE NEGRO OF THE SLAVERY ERA AND THE BLACK CONSERVATIVE OF TODAY ARE BOTH OPPORTUNISTS INTERESTED IN SECURING SOME MEASURE OF HAPPINESS FOR THEMSELVES WITHIN THE EXISTING SOCIAL ORDER. IN BOTH CASES, THE SOCIAL ORDER HAS BLACKS OCCUPYING THE LOWEST SOCIETAL ECHELON.”
SO HOW DID JEFFRIES IN THIS RACIST ENVIRONMENT OF OURS MANAGE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND HIS PARTY’S LEADER IN THE HOUSE?
ARE OTHER NOTED BLACK CONSERVATIVES WHO ROSE FROM DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES ALSO VICTIMS OF RACIAL SUPPRESSION? THIS IS THE KIND OF RHETORIC AND ATTITUDE THAT HAS TRAPPED SO MANY BLACK PEOPLE IN POVERTY AND THEIR CHILDREN IN FAILING SCHOOLS.
IT’S THE LEFT THAT DOESN’T WANT BLACK PEOPLE TO SUCCEED. THEY HAVE A GUARANTEED VOTING BLOCK AND THEY INTEND TO DO NOTHING THAT WOULD HELP. I’M CAL THOMAS.
