Four years ago, we witnessed celebrity churches, celebrity
politics, and celebrity education utilized as symbols of so-called social &
political change as Black people continued to deal with Police Terrorism, Voter
Suppression, New Age Segregation, Systemic Racism, and high levels of poverty.
But, in reality, these so-called celebrities, in the end,
turned out to be only mouthpieces and mascots for white supremacy. Whether it
was Joel Osteen prosperity trained preacher, John Gray, who sat at the table
trying to negotiate with Donald Trump, while later publicly displaying his
$200,000 SUV Lamborghini for his wife, which was highly scrutinized on social
media.
Or, Kayne West, who buck-danced around an array of issues at
the White House, while becoming a token Negro in the world of Whiteness as he
tried to convince the world that slavery was a choice on TMZ.
See, while celebrities found themselves handcuffed to white
wealth, whether it was Lebron with his new school and his social media post of
a song lyric that referenced "Jewish money," Colin Kaepernick's NFL
boycott and infamous, but now,
forgotten, Nike commercial, or comedian Kevin Hart, who, recently, was forced
to apologize for his alleged history of anti-gay jokes and tweets,
"Conscious-ness" seemed to be commercialized as people tried to
convince each other how "WOKE" they were as the rest of the world
remained asleep in the Age of Donald Trump.
Truthfully, Black Celebrity and White Politics is like Oil
and Water. They simply don't mix. So, as the Democratic Party begins their new
political campaign, we must not participate in any form of Kumbaya politics.
Why? Because, we have no political allies. Plus, politicians
LOVE to utilize the "coolness" of Black people. Especially, Black
celebrities to gain votes . Obama did it with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. And, Trump
tried to do it with Kayne & Kim Kardashian.
But, unfortunately, for most celebrities, with their
attention-seeking spirits, they look for individual success rather than group
uplift by gaining access to the White House.
With this little known fact, have you noticed, we are the only people, who allow entertainers to be our spokespersons? You never see "Jewish comedians and actors" be the spokesperson for their community. You never see a white athlete be the spokesperson for the white community. Or, an Asian, Arab or Chinese actor be the spokesperson for their community. But, the white power structure has made the Black athlete and entertainer the spokesperson for us Because, they know....they won't deviate from the script written for them.
Yeah, we all saw Cardi B. conduct an interview presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders in 2020 along with Kamala Harris's attempt to be hip
on the Breakfast Club hosted by Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy.
So, it will be interesting, who these new Democratic
candidates will try to use to get elected in 2024. Especially, Elizabeth Warren,
who tried to make herself look "HIP" by posting herself having a beer
on Instagram in order to attract a younger demographic of voters last week.
It's Politics as Usual.
Now, all of these Black celebrities, recently, at the 2022
BET Awards, have decided to promote Abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court
officially reversed Roe v. Wade.
So, don't be shocked when you see Dwayne Wade's face in 2024
as a political poster "child."
