The Gantt Report
By Lucius Gantt
Good day, kings and queens. I want to be more positive in The Gantt Report even though I’ve always written with a serious tone about the serious times we’re experiencing in America and in the world.
In that regard, I want Gantt Report readers to see the forest and the trees.
The columnists currently favored by today’s media owners are decent writers that compose columns that are acceptable to and appreciated by the powers that be, while TGR seeks to write the truth whether media companies or newspapers appreciated it or not.
Today, I’m writing about witches.
Nowadays, politicians are constantly talking about witch hunts. Every time a politician gets charged, indicted, convicted, or made liable for a crime or criminal misconduct, they run straight to the microphones and TV cameras to claim that any accusation about them is a witch hunt.
In my mind, witch-hate is far more widespread than a hunt.
If you look deep before you write or speak, you’ll find many political activities worthy of news coverage and opinion columns by parrots, perpetrators, imitators, and copiers, have racial aspects.
You see, immigrants aren’t despised and depicted as undesirable because they come from Mexico, Venezuela, or other countries, they are not wanted in America because they are not white. People can immigrate from Sweden, Norway, or Finland at any time without hassles or incarceration, or conservative media coverage.
Black books in schools and libraries are being banned not because an author is Black, books are banned because some books, and columns, tell the truth about the true story of how Blacks, Native Americans, and Hispanics have always been treated in America.
If you don’t know, Black media companies were not created to be white media companies dipped in chocolate, so to speak.
Black newspapers, journals, magazines, and broadcast stations were created and purchased “to plead our own cause”!
Now, I can write like other writers do. I’ve written news articles for The Associated Press, sports stories for The Washington Post and The Atlanta Journal, TV copy for WSB-TV, radio copy and documentaries for National Public Radio, and more but I’ll stop.
America’s best journalists know my name, my background, and my media experience because I’ve won Addy Awards, Ohio State Awards, major media fellowships, etc. just like they have.
They don’t love messengers and truth-tellers, but they do respect Blacks that are not afraid to use their talent and skill to inform their people.
Life in Black communities is becoming harder and harder. If Republicans in Congress vote against the government paying debts that Republicans ran up, it will be troublesome for US citizens, but it will be devastating and catastrophic for Black Americans.
Interest rates will rise, jobs will be lost, homes will be foreclosed on, and more.
Government assistance programs will be cut so wealthy Americans can get more tax cuts.
America’s enemies would love to see America’s economy collapse and be devastated.
Why do you think Russians contribute to the campaigns of politicians that pray for an American government credit default?
When political fires start to burn in the country, Black media folk oftentimes try to put the fires out when people on the street wish they could burn government buildings down.
There is a difference between witch hunts and witch-hate. Why do you think you, your family, and your community are in the shape you are in?
I’m going to keep writing and fighting no matter what happ
