The Trump Effect On Black Consciousness
Understanding the Trump effect on Black Consciousness.
So America has elected Donald Trump for president, a man who offends Black people while fueling the flames of racism to reach a temperature that America hasn’t experienced in decades. What surprises most people but not us is that many Black people actually voted for him. Some of us are calling them dumb but Black Trump supporters are using their brain. They’re just not using it for racial unity. Instead, they are trying to defend their religions, their bank accounts, and to defend their lack of cultural identity.
Among Black conservatives you have the evangelicals, the business professionals, and the racially disconnected. The Black evangelicals want to fit in with the larger group of evangelicals so they support the ideology that a god is coming soon so Black people just need to endure our suffering just a little while longer. The business professionals want to protect their financial interests from socialist ideologies such as high taxes, high wages and universal healthcare. And the racially disconnected are trying their best to disassociate themselves from the “Black community” because of its stereotypes.
All three groups are trying to use their conscience by buying into the false narrative of conservatism, which is primarily built on Ideology, not Truth. What Black conservatives are actually doing is comforting their uneasy presence among people who do not like them (cooning). Why aren’t they using their status for the cause of Black unity? The reason is because Black cultures around the world and especially in America have been systematically destroyed and replaced by systems designed to limit our potential while training us to keep the wheels of religion and business rolling.
This condition is evident by the fact that most Black people refuse to understand what their conscience really is. Conscience comes from the Spirit of the universe and is the thing that makes us hate seeing Black people acting like fools, killing one another, drug dependent, and complacent. Conscience is what makes Black people hate the condition we find ourselves in and want to change it. Conscience regulates the Desires generated by our Free Will to form Morals. Religion is the placement of a group of morals into the hands of a regulator known as a God.
True Black Consciousness is our Conscience directing us toward a love of Race, culture, and AfRAkan origins. Once we learn to understand ourselves we will no longer need religions to fortify our morals because we will function using Fairness, Equity, and Accountability. This is true conservatism therefore, at such a time, it will be impossible for Black consciousness to become co-opted by someone like Trump.
