‘Uncle Tom II’ Shows How Marxism Decimated Black Communities

Historical setbacks and the proliferation of broken homes hurt black Americans, but there’s also something else: Marxism.

It’s no secret that, as a group, black Americans are not exactly thriving. Despite the decades of social welfare policies, activist campaigns, and changing public attitudes, the black community suffers the most dysfunction of any racial group in the U.S.

There’re two popular explanations for this. Those on the left usually blame this situation on systemic racism and unequal opportunities. Those on the right tend to blame the collapse of the family and decadent culture.

Both these views are explored in the documentary “Uncle Tom” directed by Justin Malone and produced by Larry Elder. But there’s a third major factor that has hurt the black community, and it is the focus of the new sequel “Uncle Tom II.” Yes, historical setbacks and the proliferation of broken homes have much to do with the current struggles of black Americans, but there’s also something else that affected the course of black liberation: Marxism.

As “Uncle Tom II” illustrates, nearly all black liberation movements of the past century have been co-opted by Marxists. It was never a simple matter of giving blacks the same rights as whites while otherwise maintaining the American liberal order. The problem is usually framed as the system itself being inherently exploitative and unfair. This has become so prevalent that racism (i.e., the belief in the superiority of one race over another) and oppression (i.e., restricting the freedoms and limiting the power of another) have become synonymous. Consequently, for most people today, fighting racism means fighting the power structures that hold down people who are not white.

As if to debunk this Marxist narrative from the outset, the film begins with images of black families in the past prospering. They are attending church, fathers are present, and everyone’s well dressed. Some of the older commentators of the film, all of them black conservative Christians, recall this time nostalgically.

This is then contrasted in the film with images of chaos and desperation of activists during the George Floyd riots two years ago. Black Lives Matter and Antifa mobs scream at the police, harass bystanders, burn down buildings, loot stores, vandalize public property, and trash city squares. Somehow, by the end of it, Floyd and other famous victims of police violence are sanctified and extolled in a strange cult of black victimhood.

The whole sequence prompts the question: How did the black community go from prosperous and stable to poor and violent? Why are they idolizing these people? For Malone and the other black conservatives commenting on the issue, it is the philosophy of Karl Marx.

Can you say "LBJ and the DNC?"

No,I am NOT claiming that LBJ was a Marxist. He wasn't.

He WAS a fascist though,and Fascism and Communism are so close together even a ray of sunshine can't get between them.

BTW,for any of you too young to remember,LBJ was taped in the Offal Office right after the passage of the Civil Wrongs Act of 1964 saying "The Democratic Party now OWNS the bleep vote for the next 100 years!"

Almost 100 years after the end of the War of Northern Aggression,and the Dims are STILL enslaving the minority populations,and using tax dollars to do it.

From the article:

No.
Look at any other country with more than one racial group.
First world, third world... any one.

In the social/economical pecking order, which racial group is on top?
Which is in the middle?
Which is on the bottom?
From one nation to the next... is there any difference?

This isn't political.
It's genetic.
It is what it is.
