It\u2019s \u201cBlack History Month\u201d\u2014but black conservatives needn\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n
One such black conservative is Ken Hamblin, \u201cthe Black Avenger.\u201d\u00a0 During the 1980\u2019s and \u201890\u2019s, Hamblin, labeled \u201cthe black Rush Limbaugh,\u201d was a nationally syndicated radio talk show host heard on roughly 200 stations. He also was a columnist who authored two books, Pick a Better Country <\/i>and Plain Talk and Common Sense from the Black Avenger.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n
It\u2019s a pity that about 10 years or so ago, Hamblin left the media world for a life of anonymity, for at no other time has our country been more in need of his \u201cplain talk and common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
From the perspective of the leftist, even the most pathological of blacks is a victim entitled to government assistance.\u00a0 In glaring contrast, being the native of the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn and the son of West Indian immigrants that he is, Hamblin knows all too well that while some people really are deserving of compassion, others deserve condemnation.\u00a0 In the latter group are those who he refers to as \u201cblack trash.\u201d\u00a0 Hamblin says that \u201cthe black underclass\u201d that is \u201cat the heart of the black welfare culture today\u201d needs to be called out for what it is: \u201cblack trash.\u201d<\/p>\n
Against the objection that he \u201chate[s] black people,\u201d Hamblin\u2019s reply is blunt: If \u201chuman trash exists among whites, it also can exist among blacks.\u201d\u00a0 It is not<\/i> poverty that distinguishes \u201chuman trash,\u201d but, primarily, the \u201cminimal regard for civilized society and the generally accepted rules of humanity\u201d that characterize white and black trash alike.\u00a0 Hamblin identifies the black teenagers who attacked the Central Park jogger, Reginald Denny\u2019s assailants, and the black adolescent females who harassed and pummeled a white woman at a Detroit festival as examples of \u201csocially and morally deviant black trash.\u201d<\/p>\n
The big difference between white trash and black trash is that while the former is called out for what it is, the latter is not only excused but affirmed by \u201cwhite liberals and black community leaders\u201d alike.\u00a0 Some \u201cattributes of this [black trash] culture\u2014like its street argot and its high rate of teen pregnancies\u2014are actually extolled\u2026as perhaps worthy of consideration as multicultural counterparts to the values of the white American middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n
The legitimation of the black trash subculture has led to the idealization of \u201cblack thugs.\u201d\u00a0 Hamblin is indignant: \u201cThese black thugs, these street punks and predators, have been allowed\u2014in some cases, encouraged\u2014to believe that their acts of violence against innocent people and property are merely blows for justice\u201d and \u201cblack liberation and black sovereignty.\u201d\u00a0 In reality, \u201cthese boys are a far cry from social crusaders.\u00a0 These boys are empty vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n
There are other \u201cfringe elements\u201d that, when perceived as endangering American civilization, are either \u201cscorned\u201d or, in some instances, \u201csnuffed out.\u201d But the \u201cblack gangs\u201d\u2014which places \u201cblack trash on the map\u201d\u2014are \u201cnot only tolerated but excused by many.\u201d<\/p>\n
By romanticizing the black trash subculture, we also encourage and romanticize those young black single mothers who Hamblin refers to as \u201cbrood mares.\u201d\u00a0 The latter are \u201cbreeding in unspeakable numbers\u201d with perhaps \u201cmore than 90 percent of their babies\u201d being \u201cborn out of wedlock.\u201d\u00a0 While the gang members \u201care the foot soldiers of the black-trash welfare culture,\u201d these young mothers \u201care the brood mares whose sole function is to keep replenishing the rank and file, collecting another welfare entitlement for each newborn.\u201d<\/p>\n
The glorification of the culture or subculture of \u201cblack trash\u201d gives rise to the glorification of, not just \u201cblack thugs\u201d and \u201cbroodmares,\u201d but \u201cthe poverty pimp.\u201d\u00a0 Hamblin explains: \u201cPoverty pimps are the grossest beneficiaries and purveyors of the Myth of the Hobbled Black,\u201d the ideological narrative that blacks \u201ccan\u2019t get ahead in America because white people have kept\u2014and continue to keep\u2014them down.\u201d\u00a0 Professionally and monetarily, this notion is a win-win for black poverty pimps, for it \u201cis what generates the guilt that produces the dollars for their districts.\u201d Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, California Representative Maxine Waters, and Al Sharpton are among those who Hamblin charges with being \u201cpoverty pimps.\u201d<\/p>\n
No peddler of the nonsense that has wrought such damage to his country is safe from the Black Avenger\u2014including and especially those suspects to whom he refers as \u201cegg-sucking dog liberals.\u201d\u00a0 These are \u201cwhite liberals\u201d who are guilty of \u201csucking the substance out of the promise America holds for its black citizens [.]\u201d\u00a0 Along with \u201cblack poverty pimps,\u201d white liberals \u201cspread the propaganda that black trash are in their sad predicament only because they are victims of racism [.]\u201d\u00a0 Their ultimate goal, Hamblin believes, is not to help blacks\u2014they continue to harm them\u2014but to \u201cremake America\u201d by way of a \u201cvery anti-American\u2026socialist agenda [that] flies in the face of every piece of the American Dream that got me where I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this time, when the left, \u201cby whichever means necessary,\u201d proceeds full steam ahead with the very \u201csocialist agenda\u201d that Hamblin detected back in the 1990\u2019s, we can only long for a return of the Black Avenger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
