Black Intellectuals Not Impressed with Biden’s Inauguration Nor His Agenda
Dr. Boyce Watkins, an intellectual and finance specialist whose organizations promote Black empowerment and wealth, moderated a panel of Black creatives, activists, and intellectuals on his YouTube channel.
After watching the Biden Inaugural on Tuesday, Dr. Watkins asked the panel, “What Will Joe Biden Do for Black People?”
Filmmaker Marcus Small saw the Inauguration as a “glorified pep rally.”
“We are the race of sheep; this is what I think. And everyone else are like shepherds. We keep being bamboozled; we keep falling for trends.”
Tariq Abdul Kaaliq’s first impression of the Inauguration was how identity politics were on full display. Kamala with her Chuck Taylors and pearls, as well as propping her up as a “celebrity”. This was particularly galling to him.
“It’s designed to lull Black people asleep and put us in a sleepful corruption.
“Black people have a switch that they [the Democrats] turn on to get us outraged. It’s almost as if the Democrats are not going to do nothin’, but we’re afraid to ask them for anything.”
Filmmaker John F. Thomas interjected,
“What good is that going to be with Chuck Taylors and pearls, when we have no substance?”
Filmmaker Tony Lindsay expressed his first impressions on the Inauguration.
“I want to say I really watched the Inauguration today with a keen eye. I would think Joe Biden’s speech was a very, very good one; if he actually meant it,” he said.
“The fact that I know he didn’t mean it makes it all the more frustrating and insulting. The most annoying part of me was the media trying to manipulate our emotions on what was really happening, and also playing on our fear.”
All the filmmakers recognized the spoon-fed symbolism of “celebrating the Black woman”, while giving little credence to the Black man. They also recognized the narratives of “safety” and security, with the walls, National Guard, and stark emptiness of the event that is meant to enhance fear.
John F. Thomas noted:
“This is all fear-mongering, they want to emotionally sway. That’s the thing that they keep doing, giving the symbolism, but nothing of substance in return, just empty symbols.”
Lindsay warned more about them:
“Heavy overdose of symbolism. Unfortunately, in this society, we’ve been conditioned, especially as Black people, to view symbolism as some form of tangible progress,” he said.
“We collectively fail to recognize the level of craftiness that our political institutions, that work in tandem with the mainstream media, engage in.”
Lindsay then segued into Biden’s agenda for his first 100 days and the executive orders that do not reflect any largesse toward the Black community.
“I don’t see anything that is geared toward the African-American community which handed Joe Biden the election,” he said.
John F. Thomas chimed in that even “Talcum X”, the Fauxlato Black activist Shaun King, recognized the sudden gap between what Biden said on the trail and what Biden is doing now that he’s been installed.
And from “Makayla J” : I'm seriously laughing at all the black folks asking what EO is for them We told y'all dumb mofos he never cared about us. But oh " ORaANge MaN BaD". Biden has a whole resume of disdain for black people. Democrats have a whole resume of using us for votes and that's it
The quotes above are taken from a lengthy article about an even lengthier, 90-minute panel discussion, but they give the flavor of the author and her fellow-blacks’ discontent. Of course, all this was said by a white man 22 years ago:
Or put another way …
