Columnist warns Dems of possible Trump win with ‘9 ways to prepare for racial blowback’

A black professor has warned that black people may face “racial blowback” if Vice President Kamala Harris loses the 2024 race.

Roger House, professor emeritus of American Studies at Emerson College, issued the warning in a disturbing column published on The Hill.

Published on Tuesday, the headline of the column reads as follows: “9 ways to prepare for racial blowback if Harris loses.”

“It is time to begin thinking about the implications of a Harris loss for the lack working class, which does not have the luxury of avoiding political blowback,” the column reads. “Black leaders must prepare for the prospect of retribution perhaps reminiscent of what occurred during the unfulfilled hopes of the Reconstruction Era.”

This is similar to the sort of rhetoric that emerged after former President Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election against Hillary Clinton. At the time, black race hustlers began complaining that “whitelash” had cost Clinton the election.

House’s column continues with him listing “nine ways to get ready for the event of a Harris defeat,” starting with this humdinger:
[b]
“Prepare for the ultimate insult to racial justice on Inauguration Day, which will take place on January 20, 2025, which is also the federal holiday to commemorate the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. What should be a symbolic marker in the election of the first woman of color could instead be appropriated as a sign of reactionary redemption.”


So it’d be an “insult to racial justice” if someone besides Harris won the 2024 presidential race? Really? It’s almost as if House thinks she’s entitled to the presidency.

“Prepare for feelings of dejection by [b]lack Democratic women,” House writes. “Even though some in the community may view Harris as a complicated standard-bearer appointed by Democratic powerbrokers, many women have embraced her symbolism as the first presidential candidate that represents them. Therefore, their sense of loss would be deep and viewed as a larger rejection as a political force, and we would need to support them.”

He does. Entitled is the key word. DEI hustlers demand entitlement

If only they cared about or followed King’s teachings.

IF he wins (and I'm hopeful but I think the Dems "ground game" is going to be deployed without GOP resources allocated in time to stop it) ... it's going to be absolutely ridiculous on the social front. The entire legacy media will be stirred up to levels you've never before seen.

Riots. Destruction. Investigations. Hearings.

But if you can rise above all the SOLELY manufactured bullshite, prepare for economic windfalls and the most world peace we've seen in generations.
