Graylan Hagler: Capitulation Masquerading As Political Thought

May 5, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
One can only say that making such a dispensation is very generous of Rev. Graylan Hagler. It isn’t clear what he means by “emotionally understand” but the subtext is troubling. Is he insisting that a group whose people are victims of a genocide ought to support the perpetrators of the war crimes? If that is his stance it is not understandable, emotionally or in any other way. The statement encapsulates what is highly problematic about Hagler’s recent essay The Betrayal of the Black Community . Hagler’s 2,500 word screed is a muddled apologia to the Democratic Party after their ignominious defeat at the hands of Donald Trump, despite raising $1 billion in the effort to elect Kamala Harris.

Cory Booker, Confused Liberals, Obama And The Dangers Of A Fake Movement

What kind of protest has Nancy Pelosi as a featured speaker? One that is connected to the Democratic Party and that by definition isn’t protesting anything important, which is why Nancy Pelosi appeared at a Hands Off rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania on April 5. She spoke predictably as a democratic member of congress would, saying that she wanted to protect the safety net , “Hands off our safety net. Hands off our medicaid. Hands off our medicare. Hands off our social security.” But those who have longer memories know that during the Obama administration she declared that social security was “on the table” for budget cut consideration.

From Uncle Tom To Cousin Cory

So wrote the epochal scholar and thinker W.E.B DuBois as part of his elegant polemic of the father of Black accommodationism and an ancestor of the Black Misleadership Class, Booker T. Washington. Whereas Dr. DuBois was diplomatic with his opprobrium of Mr. Wasington, I cannot offer the same semblance of benevolence when it comes to Senator Cory Booker, who represents a pernicious manifestation of bootlicking and an exemplar of the fact that white “supremacy” ideology can be upheld and exercised by anyone regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or other identity.

Cory Booker’s Boot Licking, Butt Kissing, And Buck Dancing For Zionism

October 20, 2023 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
New Jersey’s junior senator Cory Booker has been on the Black Agenda Report radar for years. Before there was a Black Agenda Report our late co-founder Glen Ford and others on the team were writing for Black Commentator, and Ford analyzed the problem with Booker 20 years ago, when he was a candidate for mayor in Newark, New Jersey. Cory Booker owes his fame and political fortunes to the right-wing Manhattan Institute and he was also the recipient of money and media attention from outfits such as the Bradley Foundation, which dedicated itself to destroying public education with school vouchers and the charter system.
