An entrenched class of political and intellectual figures serves as a mouthpiece for the left’s radical agenda. A prominent example of the individuals involved in this “movement” is The Atlantic writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, but disturbingly, the two remaining candidates in the Democratic party are also vital parts of it:
“A prime cause of this catastrophic war on police is the vicious propaganda spread by progressive and liberal elites and Democratic Party operatives, beginning with presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). For them, America is still mired in the pre-civil rights era of more than 60 years ago when there was systemic injustice in the criminal justice system, and white attitudes towards blacks were radically different. How different? In 1960, as commentator Larry Elder has pointed out, 60% of Americans said they would never vote for a black president, but in 2008, more than 50% of Americans did just that, and did it again in 2012. Moreover, in 1983 a Republican president, Ronald Reagan, made Martin Luther King’s birthday the only national holiday honoring an American. To do so he eliminated the national holiday specifically honoring George Washington the father of the country. If that isn’t a revolution in attitudes, what is?
Facts, however, don’t prevent Black Lives Matters supporters like Ta-Nehisi Coates, America’s most pampered racist, from promoting poisonous fictions like this: ‘And so that beauty that Malcolm pledged us to protect, black beauty, was never celebrated in movies, in television, or in the textbooks I’d seen as a child. Everyone of any import, from Jesus to George Washington, was white.’ Coates was born in 1975, and was eight years old when King was honored with the nation’s only national holiday honoring an American, and George Washington was sent to the back of the bus. The first motion pictures championing civil rights and equal dignity for blacks – most notably Home of the Brave – began appearing in 1949. Sidney Poitier won the Academy Award as best actor for his role in ‘Lillies of the Field’ in 1964. In 1960 Harper Lee’s novel about racial justice for blacks won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to sell over 60 million copies. In 1977, television featured ‘Roots’ the epic miniseries about black oppression which was the most widely viewed show of its time. Its episodes were viewed by more than 30 million Americans and it won a score of Emmys. As is typical of Black Lives Matter and ‘social justice’ progressives generally, Coates simply lies to sustain his hatred of whites.
Because Coates is the most celebrated of the new racists, he is a perfect emblem of the corruptions of a ‘liberal’ culture, which condemns invisible white racism while defending black criminals who prey on the minority inhabitants of America’s inner cities. A principal source of the war on white people generally and law enforcement in particular is our leftwing university and literary culture, which for forty years has taught college students that it is politically correct to hate white people; which fosters a hatred of America so virulent, that it has inspired millennials to flock to a lifelong supporter of communist causes like Bernie Sanders and to avert its own gaze from this impertinent fact: the largest, most oppressive and most violent inner cities in America are 100% controlled by the Democratic Party – the party of slavery and segregation – and have been for fifty to a hundred years. Everything that is wrong in the social environments of America’s black poor that policy can affect, Democrats and progressives are responsible for.
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a prime product of this cultural sickness. Although he never graduated college, Coates was made a visiting professor at MIT, was offered a column by the New York Times (which he turned down) and is currently an editor at one of America’s most venerable liberal journals, The Atlantic. He is also currently the recipient of a $625,000 MacArthur ‘Genius Award,’ and this year was given the National Book Award for Between the World and Me, accompanied by fawning reviews in the New York Times and the rest of the liberal press. The book is written in the form of a letter of advice to his teenage son to whom he explains that if a black cop kills a black youth (which is what happened to Coates’ best friend) that is because the black cop is acting white. In other words, whatever crime is committed by a black person the white devil made them do it. This is Farrakhanite racism in its purist form.
‘White America,’ explains Coates, ‘is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies.’ Portraying killings of blacks by police officers as racist business as usual, Coates continues, ‘there is nothing uniquely evil’ about these officers ‘endowed with the authority to destroy your body;’ they ‘are merely men enforcing the whims of our country, correctly interpreting its heritage and legacy.’ America’s heritage is killing black people because they are black. America’s heritage is slavery – control over black bodies. Actually – historically speaking – it is black Africa’s heritage is to have enslaved black people and delivered control of their bodies to others; America’s heritage is to have liberated them.
The historical reality is actually this: slavery had existed for 3000 years in every country but was never proclaimed immoral until white Christian males in England and America did so towards the end of the 18th Century. In 1776 a new nation dedicated itself to the proposition that all men have a God-given right to liberty that no government can take away. Within 90 years of America’s declaration, slavery was abolished on this continent at the cost of 350,000 mostly white Union lives, and then – thanks to the English and the Americans – throughout the western hemisphere and large parts of Africa. This is the truth the left desperately seeks to suppress so it can justify its attacks on a country that has provided not only blacks but all minorities with privileges, rights and opportunities unprecedented in the history of mankind.
Hatred of America and contempt for its guardians among the police and the military is the social gospel of the left. For nearly half a century this hatred has been the unwavering theme of the ‘progressive’ movement in our universities and our streets and in the Democratic Party; its practical agendas are the destruction of the culture of individual liberty and accountability at home, and America’s retreat abroad. This is what Republicans and all Americans, black and white, should be concerned about and what they should be joining forces to defeat.”
