The Gantt Report
By Lucius Gantt
MAGA Republicans, MAGA Democrats, and Musketeers are all super joyous these days. They now control the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and federal courts in the United States.
They fully intend to implement their wicked and imperialist policies outlined in their 2025 project.
But it won’t be easy.
African Americans and people of African descent around the world, dry your eyes. No amount of weeping and wailing will change how governments look at us or how governments treat us.
Our struggles continue!
To improve our conditions, our lives, and our relations, we must change our ways.
We have an American history of being misled, mishandled, misrepresented, and misused!
Every election year we are led to believe our votes will result in Black progress and every election year in which I have cast a ballot, I’ve felt my life situation has not improved.
The MAGAs and Musketeers have zero concern about Black progress. The first thing done after the 2024 election was to signal an end to all government programs that Black Americans favored. Affirmative action is gone, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion plans were scuttled, Critical Race Theories were eliminated from college classrooms, and books, like my own, face bans at schools and libraries from coast to coast.
Network news pundits talk endlessly about what can be done to get the United States government on the right track. They say, things will be better if Democrats talk more about abortions, Medicare, Medicaid, and other benefits for the poor, elderly, and disabled Americans.
Well, Democratic candidates discussed all of those issues in 2024 and still lost their election races.
If you didn’t know, the United States is quickly becoming a nation of color. Soon there will be more non-whites in America than there are white people.
Network news reporters will never suggest that people of color can do a much better job of reaching, motivating, and inspiring their kind than white people can.
No problem. Now more than ever, I should be clear, our progress and our survival are dependent on us.
I know many Gantt Report readers don’t like for me to write the way I do, but our so-called Black leaders have failed our people.
Our best ideas, our best plans, our best thinkers, and our best soldiers, come from the streets!
All of us, men and women, have roles to play in our fight for progress. A herd of Black sheep led by a lion can defeat a group of lions led by a white, or colored, mouse!
We need a new generation of Black leaders who can reach and teach a new generation of young freedom fighters and soldiers.
Turn any anger you have into more self-respect, and more love for your family and your community.
God has sent Blacks, and other people of color, a modern-day Moses to all Black communities who have the visions, the plans, and the ability to maximize the resources we have and the ability to obtain more and better resources, but we need to recognize and appreciate the leaders, speakers, writers, and others who can make things happen for us.
Don’t ignore the MAGAs and Musketeers but don’t worry about them either.
Let’s focus on helping each other and working together as much as we can.
