The Republican Party, in a desperate attempt to capture the Georgia Senate’s seat, has decided to use an old inhuman” slave owner’s tactic of using Black men as studs and treating them as buffoons. They weren’t concerned about their IQ or diction. Rather, it was their virility and obedience. As you can see, they’ve chosen Hershel Walker, ex-pro-football player, as their perfect stud as well as buffoon to challenge democratic Senator Raphael Warnock.
Herschel Walker is the epitome of a plantation stud and buffoon. He’s not too smart or articulate. Rather, he’s strong, built like a Mr. Universe, has a defective memory and the temperament of an ex-football player suffering PTS . His ex-wife revealed that he frequently threatened her life using a pistol. And he has trouble remembering the name of the mother of one of his children.
Allegedly, he has fathered multiple children out of wedlock and even paid for an abortion. If any of this is true, one could label him as a prolife hypocrite and a promiscuous predator.
Normally, white supremacists would use ole Hershel’s character traits to slander all Black people. But not anymore, because they’re desperate to win. He’s become their poster boy. If they’re willing to kiss Trump’s “A__,” I’d hate to imagine what they’ve done to their stud, Hershel!
History has shown that white supremacists don’t mind allowing other rich white folks to misuse them, feed them lies, treat their women as chattel, and fleece them out of their money. The rich merely feed their racists ideology and marinate their ignorance.
Former president L.B. Johnson eloquently revealed the Southern strategy by stating, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Trump cleverly used this strategy to perfection and racists and ignorant white people, to their regret, elected him president. Using the “birther” dogma, he made them think that they were better than Obama, a brilliant scholar. Obama was president of the Harvard Review, two term president, Time’s Person of the Year (twice), and a Nobel Peace Prize awardee.
Have the Republicans no shame, morals, or integrity? Every day we can see them kowtowing to Trump, and kissing parts of his anatomy. But he’s their white anointed “antichrist.” What rational excuse can they offer for endorsing Herschel Walker?
I must admit, Republicans’ endorsement of Herschel Walker, the silence of their base, and Evangelicals’ blessings are greater embarrassments to Black people than the election of Trump as the 45th president. However, Trump isn’t the only white racists, xenophobic, and ignoramus Congressperson in Washington nor at the state levels.
Remember, Trump is shadowed by Senators Greene, Johnson Cruz, and countless others. Sadly, in America it’s easier for a racist, narcissist, immoral white man to become president, than it is for Black people to vote and for women to maintain their reproductive rights.
Black people can’t afford to have Herschel Walker, Republicans’ chosen stud/buffoon elected as a Senator. White supremacists will seize the opportunity to portray all Black people not only as studs, but buffoons as well. Amazingly, they never use this dehumanizing tactic to characterize all white people as studs and buffoons.
Black people have learned from their ancestors that to get ahead in white America; you’ve got to be twice as smart, run faster, never look back nor give-up, and more importantly, never allow white supremacists to pit you against your own Black people.
The question is, “should Herschel Walker know better?” Obviously, Hershel doesn’t know any better and appears incapable of knowing that he’s simply being used. This will certainly get his name and picture in the upcoming history books.
I’m confident that voters in Georgia will not elect a Black man who is used by Republicans as though he’s a stud and emblematic of a buffoon. His response to the climate change question suggests he’s mentally challenged.
If you’re Black, can throw, catch, shoot a ball, sing, dance a jig, smile and be obedient, white folks will love you and even vote for you!
They detest intellectual Black people. But rare studs and buffoons are adored. Just ask Senator Raphael Warnock.
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
