Black
Republicans generally are one of the saddest things that ever happened to the
progress and healing of American in recent times. The Republican media, such as
Fox News, always gives them the opportunity to speak for and represent Black
people, when it is very clear that they are not in touch with Black reality in
America. These are people who mainly believe that racism and discrimination is
over and that we should just move on and look into a progressive future without
correcting or eliminating the weakness of our past or foundation. They are
usually so interested in pleasing the White mainstream media or pretending to
see things from their perspective, instead of speaking the truth that will heal
a nation. They choose to keep a paycheck, their status, and influence with the
mainstream, instead of using their position to bring understanding between a
divided America.
Lately on
the Bill O’Reilly show, the new Black Republican that is unconsciously being
used to spearhead the attack on the Black church and continuing the oppression
of the Black worldview is Angela McGlowan, a Black Republican. The Black
church is currently under attack by the Republican media as an attempt to hinder
the Presidential race of Barack Obama. As usual, the White Republicans will
always use Blacks, like Angela McGlowan, to carry out their dirty work of making
their Black sycophants speak against Black history, truths, and realities. A
couple of days ago, Angela McGlowan claimed that Rev. Wright’s job (Obama’s
pastor) was to preach about God and love, and not give hate speeches. She also
encouraged others to run away from churches that preach like Rev. Wright.
Angela
McGlowan fails to remember, understand, or know that Black America got to where
it is today because of the Black church’s role in American history. These
churches were headed by courageous preachers, like Rev. Wright, who spoke the
truth based on the Word of the Living God against all odds. The church is one
of the only places, if not the only place, where Blacks come together amass to
get enlightened socially, economically, and politically about their plight on
Biblical principles. Angela McGlowan is indirectly saying that the Israelites
and the Christians of old should have turned their backs to their prophets and
the Christ because they spoke the truth to the Emperors, kings, and religious
leaders of the day in an attempt to advocate for the poor, the oppressed, and
the disabled. Angela McGlowan intentionally stands against the will of God, her
people, and her history in order to gain the favors and benefits of associating
with White Republican mainstream establishments.
Yesterday
on the same show, she claimed that LeBron James – Gisele Bündchen’s Vogue cover
was not an issue and that we should be happy for LeBron for being the first
Black man to be on the cover of Vogue. What she fails to realize is that even
if Blacks have the short end of the stick, it does not make Blacks baggers. We
do not have to be on the front cover of any magazine that does not want us
there. Gisele is well dressed, looking professional; she is smiling, but at the
same time she is trying to run away from something nearby. The only thing
nearby is the only Black man ever to be featured on the cover of the Vogue
magazine, and he is screaming angrily, dressed like a school boy, and is scaring
our precious lady off the page. Maybe it was not intentional by the Vogue
Company, but both Vogue and LeBron James hold a public responsibility to be
conscious of the images they put out there. They must try to understand that
they represent so much and so should not leave room for others to feel
disrespected.
As for Angela McGlowan,
she needs to speak on Republican issues, and not Black issues. This is because
she is already lost to Black America by her views and reality. Not every Black
person should speak for Black America, only those still in touch and understands
the current views, reality, and expectations of Blacks in America |
