Black leadership turned what should have been a tribute to Aretha Franklin into a carnival side show. The usual suspect race hustlers took the opportunity to spew their political diatribes, Ariana Grande came out dressed like a South Side hooker (Slick Willy loved the view), and the preacher giving the eulogy took the opportunity to dress down the entire black community for not owning their own bullshit.
Rev. Williams said the majority of black households are run by women — but also said women cannot raise boys to be men.
"Where is your soul, black man?" he asked. "As I look in your house, there are no fathers in the home no more. Where is your soul?"
"Seventy percent of our households are led by our precious, proud, fine black women. But as proud, beautiful and fine as our black women are, one thing a black woman cannot do. A black woman cannot raise a black boy to be a man. She can’t do that. She can’t do that."
Then, Williams touched on the Black Lives Matter movement and called for an end to black-on-black violence.
“It amazes me how it is that when the police kills one of us, we're ready to protest march, destroy innocent property," he said. "We’re ready to loot, steal whatever we want. ... But when we kill 100 of us, nobody says anything. Nobody does anything.”
He continued: "If you choose to ask me today — Do black lives matter? Let me answer like this. No. Black lives do not matter. Black lives will not matter. … Black lives should not matter. Black lives must not matter. Until black people start respecting black lives and stop killing ourselves, black lives can never matter."
All of the above true of course, but this was not the venue to lay it out there. At the end of the day it was difficult to know who they hated more, themselves or the white man. Painfully obvious is what passes for black leadership is a f'n joke and the black community at large is one hot mess.
RIP Aretha, you deserved better than this.
