      As a Black man in America, Iâve learned to listen closely when those in power take off their white robes and pointed white hats and put on red neck ties with their negroes in tow, begin to stoke fears and lean on threats.

His words were more than just a commentâthey were a direct channel to a dark part of American history where intimidation, violence, and division were tactics used to secure their position of power. Itâs a message we canât afford to ignore.

      The idea of aligning with figures like Trump and Vance means accepting a narrative of Black dependency on white saviors. It is allowing the very mentality of people who have exploited, oppressed, and degraded us to dictate the terms of our existence. It is accepting a warped notion of masculinity that disregards the sacrifices of Black leaders who have fought for justice and equality. This isnât about being âwokeâ or pandering to any political partyâitâs about standing up for our heritage and refusing to be complicit in the erasure of our history.
