Unabridged Audiobook
This is a must read. This books dispels myths, acknowledges the heroes, is not based on feelings and but facts.
This must read is a timely, historical look at the over conformity of Black politicos who gladly contributed to the effort of upholding White Supremacy ideology, policy, and discourse.
Garbage
While my politics are much further to the left of Clay, I really enjoyed how he tapped into the early history of the Republican Party. Not the "Party Of Lincoln" but the "Douglas Republicans" as he referred to in the book. The abolitionists and radicals that were much further to the left of Lincoln that fought hard and were betrayed by the Republican Party during Reconstruction. Which is a period in American history that gets very little attention. The rest of the book is a timeline of Black Republicans that decided to place personal gain over principles. And a handful that stood strong in their principles and paid the price for doing so. Ultimately they were forced to face the cold reality of it being a white man's party. The later chapters cover the modern day influencer/grifters that we all have become familiar with in the Trump era. Unfortunately the people that should probably be reading this book are the people that don't read books and get their information from likes that are written about in this book. Congrats to Clay Cane on the start of a great career as an author and much continued success with the radio show on Sirius.
Excellent should be a course taught in schools
Enjoyed the detailed history of Black Republicans in this country.
