The Legacy of Communism Within the Black Community


William Edward Burghardt Dubois is one of the most revered patriarchs of the African American community. From the turn of the 20th century, he has fought to bring prosperity and success to blacks in America; however, it has been the way he has struggled to do so pose the problem. When it comes to discussing him, a critical fact eludes us—a fact that is also part of his legacy—of such a great significance, that it helps us to understand the psychology of many of our African American leaders today! If we understand the mindset, then we can determine whether it is what is acceptable, or of reproach. Many will be shocked at the realization that many of our fellow citizens actually despise what the vast majority of Americans have held so dear for the last 200-plus years, and long for a culture and a system of government that rivals what many European nations are fleeing—socialism!
No one can escape the fact that the venerable and respectable black intellectual was a devout communist who adored Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and other communist tyrants of his day. He relished the societies each of those leaders had forged behind the Iron Curtain and the Great Wall, as he wrote extensively about the joys and efficiencies of the communism ideology itself. Dubois fought vehemently to marry this way of life with the African American community, but found enough resistance to thwart his efforts from within as well as without. In 1961 he joined the Communist Party USA, as he and his wife Shirley became increasingly distraught with life in America. In early 1963 they left the United States and became a citizen of the tiny communist nation of Ghana, where he died on August 27 that year. Though W.E.B. Dubois has been gone nearly fifty years, his legacy and influence still flourishes. His preference for this system was not a unique passion limited to Dubois.
Today, we see the Congressional Black Caucus—like moths to a flame—fluttered over to the island of Cuba and spent time with one of the most murderous tyrants of all time, Fidel Castro! Like Dubois, they too are so blinded by the brilliant but sheer veneer of “equal treatment” that is more of a form of equal misery. (See Rep. Laura Richardson’s praise of Castro and the communist system at http://www.politico.com/singletitlevideo.html?bcpid=1155201977&bctid=18945636001 ). They cannot comprehend that there is evil around them. The spirits of poverty and despair boldly speak out their claim over an entire nation of people who are afraid to even speak against him for fear that they would be overheard and end up in prison or insane asylum. Like Dubois, they too clamor for the delights of totalitarianism—themselves apparently believing that they will be of the ruling class!
However, one cannot be so kind to attribute the actions of this group to mere ignorance—they are very intelligent people, most of them well-educated and socially-conscious. So the correct assumption must be that the Congressional Black Caucus is both intentional and purposeful in their actions and deeds. They want communism to be the ruling system here in the United States!
Practically every member of the CBC as well as many of our left-leaning whites in the U.S. Congress belong to an organization known as the Progressive Caucus. This organization is closely-affiliated with a group known as the Democratic Socialist of America. Some of the members of our U.S. house of Representatives even serve on the DSA’s advisory board such as Reps. Maxine Waters, Zoe Lofgren and John Conyers to name a few. Before the 2008 national elections, there were about 75 congressional members who were members of the Progressive Caucus. With the increase of Democrats due to the elections, there are even more! The most flagrant are representatives from districts where their constituents do not hold them to accountability or even share the socialistic ideology.
But perhaps the real source of the problem is not within the halls of congress or the Oval Office. One thing even Dubois recognized, and encouraged white socialists like Planned Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger to take full advantage of— the black preacher! From birth control to abortion, from public housing to multi-billion dollar sports complex’s, the black preacher has been the most consistent and influential factor above all. Politicians and leaders—good and bad—have come and gone, but the black preacher has been in the same place and position. Embedded within the foundation of practically every black neighborhood, no politician fares well without his blessing! The return to the preacher, especially within the larger cities that have large black populations can be very rewarding, but the end results have created communities totally dependent upon the hand of government, even more than the church.
So, it is no stretch to conclude that the primary reason the Congressional Black Caucus enjoys such close affiliation with some of the world's worst tyrants is because the church of the African American community does not either care or simply des not know!
Like Dubois, who ignored the fact that Mao, Stalin and other communists doctators were responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of millons of their own citizens, the Congressional Black and Progressive Caucuses have ignored the heinous acts of Castro and his trans-generational rein of terror over the Cuban people. The truth to the matter is that they are enemies to America's way of life. Patriotism means more than waving the American flag and singing God Bless America in front of the nation's capitol. Along with other things, it certainly means supporting the system that gives every person the opportunity to succeed and excel- capitalism! For this reason, every candidate running for political office should be expected to be committed to support our free enterprize system just as much as our U.S. Constitution itself! This will begin the purging and disinfection of our system!
So if you find this information disturbing, research the matter for yourselves! You will see that there is more evidence that says yes than there is that refutes the claim.
