Dear former President Barack Obama,
During former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, you chastised “the brothers” for what you perceived as their reluctance to vote for a black female. You said: “We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running. Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”
Did you tell “the brothers” who, for the sake of racial solidarity, you tried to shame into voting for Harris that you only believe in left-wing racial solidarity?
You starred in an attack ad for the white opponent of the Republican black man, who would have become the first black governor of California. You didn’t tell “the brothers” to vote for him. In fact, you wanted “the brothers” to vote against him.
You became a U.S. senator from Illinois by defeating your black Republican opponent in the general election. In the name of racial solidarity, shouldn’t you have told “the brothers” to flip a coin?
[…]Now, let’s talk policy.
Republican blacks pay far greater attention than do Democrats about the crisis of the black family, where over 70% of black kids are brought into the world without a father in the home married to the mother.
Black Republicans, far more so than Democrats, care about the crisis of urban K-12 education. About your adopted city of Chicago, Wirepoints writes, “(There are) 30 schools in Illinois where not a single student can read at grade level. Twenty-two of those schools are part of the Chicago Public Schools and the other eight are outside Chicago.”
[…]Republicans that you tell “the brothers” not to vote for are far more concerned about these issues than the Democrats you encourage them to blindly support.
You support DEI, Black Lives Matter and are a self-described proponent of “identity politics.” But you oppose DEI, black lives and identity politics for black Republicans.
Is that pretty much it?
Asking for a friend, a former California gubernatorial candidate whom the Los Angeles Times called “the black face of white supremacy.”
