The Loyalty Trap: Why Black Americans Should Question Their Support for the Democratic Party
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In this episode of the “Black Lives Don’t Matter” podcast, we examine the struggles of the Democratic Party and question whether Black Americans should continue their long-standing support for it. With 83% of Black voters historically aligning with the Democrats, how did this loyalty form? How did it ultimately fail us?
Trace our political journey from being Republicans during Lincoln’s era to shifting towards the Democratic Party during the New Deal and the civil rights movement. Despite our unwavering support, we highlight the lack of tangible benefits we’ve received over the years, including economic stagnation, mass incarceration, and gentrification.
Emphasize that Black lives don’t truly matter in the eyes of those in power, as evidenced by systemic racism, police violence, and the ongoing struggle for basic rights and recognition. Let’s call for reevaluating our political alliances and stress the need for real change, action, and empowerment within our communities. Ultimately, if Black lives truly mattered, we wouldn’t need to protest for recognition of our worth, we wouldn’t need a movement.
