It
took us decades, but we finally found religion on the Left. The
counterculture initially seemed great: a big bang of movies, civil
rights, women’s rights, gay rights, comedy, art, and investigative
journalism, all in the pursuit of free expression and objective truth.
My
generation was raised on atheism, with the idea that if you pursue
happiness, you will be fulfilled. But it doesn’t work like that. Making
happiness the goal in life ultimately leads to dissatisfaction because
nothing and no one will ever be enough.
After
the 2000 election that the Supreme Court ultimately decided, we started
building our own private paradise on the Left, one that effectively
shut out half the country.
However,
we didn’t come together as a movement until Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton faced off in 2008. What started out as a contentious battle for
the first female president vs. the first Black president would result in
a powerful coalition rooted in identity politics.
We
had in Barack Obama not just a political leader, the first US president
to build his coalition via Twitter, but a spiritual leader too. Obama
became not just sacred to us but Too Black to Fail.
From
then on, we had our religion. We were the New Puritans, progressive
liberals who made ourselves, our children, our country, and our planet
more sustainable, diverse, and equitable. We were going to save the
climate, ban assault weapons, make gay marriage the law of the land, and
fix healthcare once and for all.
But
every religion needs an oppositional threat. Ours arrived in the form
of the Tea Party Republicans, the Freedom Caucus, and eventually, Trump
and MAGA.
It
wasn’t long before they were all deemed racists who were angry and
resentful of the nation’s first Black president. Our spiritual leader.
Our God. The label stuck.

Demonizing
the Tea Party as racists got us out of the jam of solving the immediate
problem of a government system too cozy with Wall Street and the banks
that were all too big to fail. We didn’t solve the problem of a
suddenly awake America fired up and ready to protest the government.
It
turns out, though, that it wasn’t a coincidence that the Wall Street
meltdown and the subsequent hysteria over racism arrived roughly at the
same time. As Vivek Ramaswamy explains here, pivoting to identity
politics was their get-out-of-jail-free card.

Whatever happened to Occupy Wall Street?
From VJM Publishing:
The
greatest fear of the Establishment was the coalescence of the 99% under
one banner. Having previously observed the degree of animosity that
existed on account of racial tension, a plan became apparent: to divide
the 99% up along racial lines. This was primarily to be achieved by
pushing a racial oppression narrative that claimed that white people
owed blacks reparations for past injustices.
Because
the 1% owns the mainstream media, they simply directed their employees
in the media to start pushing that narrative. And they did. The
mainstream media everywhere stopped reporting on class issues entirely,
and started reporting only on racial ones. Any case of racial injustice
was blown up to seem an atrocity, and overcoming it a pressing issue,
while class inequality was ignored completely.
The Great Awokening
After
the death of George Floyd was seen by millions all over the world
within minutes, nothing we’d done up to that point seemed to matter.
That we had Obama for two terms didn’t change what our country was –
built on the backs of slaves and rooted in white supremacy and systemic
racism.
The
mass hysteria swallowed nearly every part of American society as mobs
chanted through neighborhoods, burned buildings to the ground, and
demanded everyone raise their fists in allegiance to Black Lives Matter.

A
friend of mine who lived in one of the richest cities in the world
joined the protests, and they told him he had to hurl himself in front
of Black bodies because the “racist cops” were less likely to shoot a
white person.
All
of these years later, the opposite is true. The whites at the top are
using Black people as shields to protect them from the mob.
After
Biden was elected, everywhere you looked were virtual signaling ruling
class elites shielding themselves from attacks by placing Black people
front and center. They had to be everywhere, or else those at the top
would be seen as “racists.”
Black people were used as symbolic shields in advertisements, hosting awards shows, and starring in superhero movies. Absolve us of our sins, the ruling class begged, and thus, they created Too Black to Fail.
A blessing and a curse, Too Black to Fail
is a temporary fix to an impossible problem. How to rush equality?
Equity. Boost people to top spots based on their gender, skin color, or
marginalized status. Then, make it impossible for them to fail, even if
they aren’t up to the job.
Kamala
Harris was chosen only because Joe Biden wanted to pick “a black
woman.” She failed in the California primary and was eaten alive by
Tulsi Gabbard. As Joe’s Veep, she is viewed as too risky to run for
president. They won’t even allow her to try.
How
do I know all of this? As with everything else related to the Left’s
insanity and hypocrisy, I was right up in it for years. I was a “woke”
blogger before anyone knew what that meant. I believed it was my mission
in life to amplify and “platform” Black artists. Nothing else mattered
to me.
But
in so doing, I expected allegiance in return. When I started pushing
back against “cancel culture,” I was called out on Twitter as a “racist”
and a “white supremacist,” I expected people would treat me differently
because of my history, because of how much time I’d devoted to advocacy
for women and people of color in the film industry and the Oscars.
“What do you want,” someone told me, “a cookie?”
I
realized that I did see myself as a “white savior,” that I was
attempting to absolve my white guilt, and that I knew if I kept calling
everyone else a racist, no one would call me one.
Tyranny Unbound
The
Left’s empire isn’t collapsing because they’re sane and rational people
who can be trusted to lead this country. No, it’s collapsing because
they have become unmoored from objective reality.
And
nowhere is that more clear than the lawfare against Donald Trump. It
perplexes most people in the real world unless you can see it from the
perspective of the Left. When Trump won in 2016, it sent us into waves
of what can only be described as mass hysteria.
When you understand how fearful we all were that there were racists, racists everywhere, and Trump was the leader of a White Supremacist army with one mission – to remove Black and Brown people from power, it’s easier to understand how we’ve gotten here, to one of the darkest and most dangerous times in our history.
When
they have become disconnected from objective reality and dehumanized
Trump and MAGA to this degree, there is no bottom. Anything can be done
to them, and people like Barbra Streisand, tucked away in her high
thread count sheets, cuddling her cloned dog and mainlining MSNBC, will
cheer.
Too Black to Fail
works for them because it doesn’t matter if DA Fani Willis lied on the
stand or if she used public funds to go on a vacation with her lover,
Nathan Wade. None of that matters because she will never be held
accountable by the people at the top. They need her to fight their
battles, to be the shield that protects them from accusations of
corruption and lawfare.
Fani
Willis is marching onward, trying to fulfill her mission for the Biden
administration to be the one who locks Trump up in one of the worst
prisons in America. It has to be a Black woman, you see, to serve Trump
the revenge the Left believes it has suffered for the past eight years.
Willis came right out and said as much when speaking at a church, played
here for Megyn Kelly and Defense Attorney Ashleigh Merchant.

What’s
happening to Trump in New York at the hands of the Trump-obsessed
Attorney General Letitia James is, by all accounts, egregious and
unprecedented. Yet we know it’s all Live-Action Roleplay for the Left,
political theater for their base to get what they’ve been promised for
eight long years. And, as long as they’re all focused on Trump, no one
will be looking at them.
Mara Gay, an editor at the New York Times, seems to have no idea how bad it really is.
There
is no way history writes this story without condemning Letitia James.
She doesn’t know it yet. Like Fani Willis, she is certain success will
be her fate – book deals, movie deals. They know Trump is their golden
ticket and that, at least for now, they are Too Black to Fail.
Yet some reasonable people are out there speaking out, Kevin O’Leary.

Too White to Succeed
For
the majority of Americans who are white, they have found their options
increasingly limited in a society that prioritizes marginalized status.
That’s what happens when you eliminate class from the conversation.
