A majority of blacks have been voting for Democrats for nearly 60 years, and what do they have to show for it? Not a lot.
Granted, the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 under a reluctant Democrat president, and a few Democrats filibustered the Act. So other than the Civil Rights Act, blacks have not received much of anything but empty promises and social programs that have tethered their fate to the party.
These social programs created by Democrat policies were designed to help uplift blacks after years of discrimination and racism following slavery. Programs like welfare that gave blacks access to public housing, supplemental income, and food stamps (now known as SNAP) did help. But the programs were only supposed to be temporary. Instead, they became a way of life for blacks and, eventually, brown people.
Unfortunately, now black and brown people have become dependent on these programs and dependent on Democrat politicians who have failed them.
Many think that the more they elect these politicians, the more social programs will continue for them. In some cases, the programs are used to barter for votes. If funding for social programs doesn’t increase, there is a threat of holding back the vote. The flip side of this is if those benefiting from the programs don’t vote for Democrat politicians, there is the threat the programs will end.
A closer observation would reveal that these social programs are only failing black and brown lives and not enhancing them. This can be seen with the breakdown of the family. Too many of these households have no stability because of the lack of fathers present.
When a father is present in the household, the social programs are either decreased or stopped. So there isn’t an incentive for fathers to be present. Studies have shown that households without fathers are impoverished, and the children are undisciplined and become burdens on society.
The media will say males are toxic and women can raise a family without men, but studies prove otherwise.
Bebe Diamond, co-host of the Facebook show “Our Urban Story,” joined the host of “After Dark” to share her thoughts on how politicians and the media have failed black and brown people. This topic is very dear to Diamond. She is very passionate about speaking out against politicians and the media. She admonishes the black and brown community to stop voting for politicians who don’t have their best interests at heart and to challenge the media who aren’t holding them accountable.
Bebe Diamond is a free speech advocate. Her passion for the black family has led her to start a ministry and non-profit aimed at helping the broken black man, whom she says is the cornerstone of the black family. In addition to the ministry, Diamond is the assistant to Barbara From Harlem, a nationally recognized speaker and author who has been dubbed the godmother of the black conservative movement. Diamond wrote the introduction to Barbara From Harlem’s compelling and inspirational memoir “Escaping the Racism of Low Expectations.” She and Barbara are hosts of “Our Urban Story,” a weekend podcast that airs on Saturdays on Facebook.

Black politicians cater to that cadre of preachers and hustlers (HBCU academians) who help get them elected. Their concern for the Black who makes a living by cutting yards, has always been limited. There was a mass exodus from Black communities in the 1965-1975 time range, to get better jobs, integrate White communities. Loss of Blackness in the community. Those who couldn’t get out of traditional Black communities are still being pimped by White and Black forces inside and outside of those communities, whether it be politicians, illegal immigration, gentrification or Rap music. Many Blacks didn’t support the 1960s integration movement, thought that it was too quick, and for the wrong reasons, ie, the Black athelete. Time has shown many of those ‘unheard’ voices in history to be correct. That ‘Black athelete’, that ‘Black politician’, has ‘greased’ his way right to the top, with their White woman.
