Chairman Allen West's Monday Message for 5.10.21
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: A Commentary
on Race in America
Greetings, everyone!
Of course, many of you will recognize the
title of this missive from the western movie featuring Clint
Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach. Many of y'all may have
the famous tune to the movie going through your heads right now.
Some may ask, "Hey Chairman West, why are you
not addressing the current legislative session?" I think I made
my points very clear last week in our press conference, and Jill
Glover did a stellar job in her Friday Legislative Priorities
report. I think the Texas Republican majority legislature is well
aware of how bad and ugly it could get for them, politically, if
they do not pass the Republican Party of Texas Legislative
Priorities. Then again, I guess making Eid-al-Fitr -- a
celebration of a Muslim army victory -- a Texas state holiday is
more important.
But, I digress.
We need to have a serious analysis of this
issue of race in America. This is because the progressive
socialist left is using the tactics of Marxism to divide us not
by economic class, but, rather, racial composition. Is it any
wonder that this faux organization with the trendy title "Black
Lives Matter" was founded by two avowed Marxist Black women?
Lucky them, they now own several multi-million dollar properties.
I ain't got that. Oh, by the way, when any leftist or BLM
advocate approaches you shouting "Black Lives Matter," calmly
look them in the eye and respond, "which Black lives?"
This is where we start our commentary on race
in America. The progressive socialist left has done a fabulous
job of redefining who is a good Black person in America. This is
not debatable and follows a line of history.
We all think that W.E.B. Du Bois founded the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP). He did not. The founding members of the NAACP were
white progressives: Mary White Ovington, Henry Moskowitz, William
English Walling, and Oswald Garrison Villard. DuBois became the
face and figurehead of the organization. And, if you didn't know,
DuBois was a socialist who became an avowed communist. In the
end, he renounced his American citizenship. In essence, history
is repeating itself with BLM, founded and financed by white
leftists, along with stuck on stupid corporations, with two Black
female Marxists as its leaders.
For the progressive socialist left, these are
the "good" Blacks, those who embrace their ideological agenda, to
the detriment of their own people. We now have these new
overseers on the left's 21st-century economic plantation who are
responsible to keep Blacks as victims, for the purpose of
harvesting votes. These so-called accepted "intellectual" Blacks
curry favor with their leftist masters -- aka the Congressional
Black Caucus -- in order to maintain their position as the "good"
Black people, selling out their own for their version of 30
pieces of silver.
Then there are the "bad" Blacks, and I think
you know where I am going. As articulated by Joe Biden, "if you
don't vote for me, you ain't Black." Yes, consider that in
opposition to his description of a "good Black," Barack Hussein
Obama as "good looking, clean, and articulate." US Senator Tim
Scott asserted that America was not a racist country . . . Oops,
"bad" Negro! Scott was pummeled by the left as "Uncle Tim" and
"Oreo." And, guess what? The "good" Blacks of the progressive
socialist left ganged up on Sen. Scott as well. If you are a
Black that has escaped the leftist plantation and display any
competency to think as an individual, you are "bad."
That began long ago with one of the greatest
orators and educators this nation has ever produced: Booker T.
Washington, the father of Black conservatism. And, just recently,
we saw the white progressives of the cancel culture attack and
tear down the statue of Frederick Douglass in Rochester, NY, and
deface the monument to the first Black soldiers to wear the
American uniform, the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. Yes, they were
"bad" Blacks: Douglass for being a Republican, and the former
slaves of the 54th for wearing the uniform of their country.
If you have not seen the documentary "Uncle
Tom" you should, because it lucidly evidences the despicable
denigration and disparaging of the "bad" Blacks, namely,
conservative Republicans.
And, that leads to the "ugly," the Democrat
Party.
I find it unconscionable that a political
Party, with a long-running history of racism, would be so bold as
to castigate anyone as racist. Any dummy knows it was the
Democrat Party that did not support the 13th, 14th, and 15th
Amendments. The Party of lynching? Democrats. The Party of
segregation? Democrats. The Party of Jim Crow? Democrats. The
Party of poll taxes, literacy tests, and Black voter suppression?
Democrats. The Party that founded the Ku Klux Klan and supported
a white supremacist named Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned
Parenthood? Democrats. The Party that advocates for the murder of
unborn Black babies to the tune of 20 million aborted since 1973?
Democrats. The Party holding the record for the longest
filibuster in US Senate history, against the passage of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964? Democrats. The Party that decimated the
traditional nuclear two-parent Black family, (which BLM does not
support, by the way)? Democrats. The Party that does not support
school choice? Democrats. The Party that advances the soft
bigotry of low expectations, believing Blacks are too stupid to
get a picture ID to vote? Democrats.
So, why are we sitting around and allowing
the "ugly," the Democrats, to define the narrative on race in
America? That is like having a wolf in charge of security for a
flock of sheep.
That is exactly what the left wants.
The "good" Blacks are the sheep, a few are
rams. The "bad" Blacks are the guard dogs. And, the Democrats are
the "ugly" wolves. The wolves hate the guard dogs and the sheep
are ambivalent to the guard dogs who seek to protect them.
We are facing one of the most dangerous
existential threats this country has faced since the Civil War.
Yet, as Santayana said, "those who fail to learn from history are
doomed to repeat it." The battle lines are the same: the
Democrats once championed physical bondage, chains; today they
champion the shackles and enslavement by means of economic
bondage.
My parents raised me to be a victor and slave
to no one. Just like my dad, a WW II soldier, I am a guard dog. A
guardian of this Republic who will not allow the purveyors of
systemic racism to destroy my country.
The American Black community must ask itself
this question: in the eyes of the white progressive socialist
left, am I what they define as a "good" Negro or a "bad" one,
defending individual liberty, freedom, and sovereignty?
Heck yeah, I am proud to be a "bad" one!
Steadfast and Loyal,
