In today's episode, we delve into the topic of Black politics. It's a subject that often leaves me questioning why the ghetto seems to seep into every aspect of Black life, even in the highest positions of power. Recently, the Democratic representative Jamal Bowman of New York made headlines when he was charged with triggering a fire alarm in a House office building without any emergency. Seeing someone in such a position of influence engage in reckless behavior is disheartening. It raises the question of whether there is a standard that Black politicians should uphold, especially when it comes to basic knowledge like understanding what a fire alarm is. But this issue goes beyond one individual's actions. It feels like Black politics has become one big scam, focused more on defeating the white man than addressing the real issues affecting the Black community. As a conservative, I struggle to understand the point of supporting movements like Black Lives Matter or aligning with liberal ideologies that perpetuate the narrative of victimhood. Instead of focusing on safe schools and improving the education system in impoverished areas, Black politicians often get caught up in symbolic gestures like advocating for the right to wear cornrows. While these issues may have cultural significance, they do little to address our communities' systemic problems. Furthermore, it's disheartening to see Black politicians constantly collecting money for causes like Black Lives Matter without ensuring that the funds reach the people who need them. Reparations, for example, may sound appealing, but throwing money at the problem won't solve the deep-rooted issues within the Black community. Instead, Black politicians should be using their power and influence to address the violence and crime that disproportionately affects African Americans. The staggering number of Black-on-Black murders cannot be ignored, and it's time for our leaders to prioritize the safety and well-being of our communities. Black politicians should focus on tangible solutions to uplift the Black community. It's time to move away from the outdated rhetoric of fighting racism and instead focus on empowering ourselves and taking responsibility for our own actions. We need leaders who are willing to call out the ghetto-ness within our community and work towards building a better future. Black politics needs a shift in focus. We need honest and unapologetic leaders willing to address the real issues affecting our community. It's time to move beyond the victim mentality and work towards real change. Let's return respect and integrity to the Black community and strive for a better future together.
