The Republican view of Black Men in America

Yet again in America there is a Republican and Conservative rambling about Black Men a from a collective of White Republicans and Conservatives that has always been ignorant of and clueless about Black Men in America 

What is truly shameful is why now is White conservatives and republicans posing questions about Black Men in America? 

Apparently in the eyes of White Republicans and Conservatives,  Black Men only matter when We provide a means of support for White Americans and their agendas other wise we are useless .

Once again the folly of polls as educational and informed intelligence is driving the latest iteration of what Republicans and Conservatives believe about Black Men.

Black Men in the annals of White America has always been a narrative of negativity from anxiety about the fidelity of White women to fears about the criminal nature of Black Men in America to name just a few.

Rarely is there any narrative in both Republican and Conservative spaces that values the intellect, character and patriotism of Black Men instead, Black Men are a commodity to be exploited, leveraged.

Usually the Black Men who are assigned value in Republican and Conservative circles are those Black men who echo and parrot Conservative dogma with concurrent themes of gratitude and appreciation of being affirmed by this motley lot of White Republicans and Conservatives.

Of course this recognition and acceptance comes with a price of admission which includes being used as a tool to manipulate, buttress and shield Republicans and Conservatives from criticism from Black Americans like me and others that don’t purchase the false faces of conditional recognition and partnership offered by Republicans and Conservatives.

Of course this tiresome historical script of White Republicans and Conservatives has now come to an abrupt end with the historic election of Harris as the POTUS.
