“When in doubt, progressives will always default to weaponizing historical black plight — the lifeblood of their political arguments. No one wields dead black people more enthusiastically than a progressive ideologue bent on clotting common-sense political discussions. Leftists like Ras Baraka repeatedly repurpose our racial identity to throttle the beating heart of American prosperity. In a recently surfaced campaign-trail video, Baraka — current mayor of Newark, NJ and aspiring governor — angrily compared US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the slave-catchers of the distant past. ‘The attack on immigrants … they want to know why we can relate to that: Because we was undocumented too!’ Baraka proclaimed.” [editor’s note: The comparison is apt – TLK] (05/21/25)
