GRIFTER [grif-ter] noun 1. a con or scam artist, a hustler or a sell-out
Following the Civil War, the foundations of Black Republicanism were a balanced critique of both political factions, civil rights for all citizens, restructuring an economy rooted in exploitation, and, most crucially, fostering prosperous Black communities. How did Black Republicanism degenerate from revolutionaries like Frederick Douglass to the marionettes in the Trump era?
Whether it’s extreme conservatives like Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina or Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they consistently make headlines and persistently endorse appalling laws at the expense of their Black counterparts. Part historical and part cultural analysis, “The Grift” traces the intricate history of Black Republicans. Clay Cane elucidates how Black Republicanism has been distorted by opportunists who are defenders of racism.
Black individuals in positions of power providing a shield for overt prejudice is one of the most significant threats to the liberation of Black and brown people. By scrutinizing these figures and their strategies, Cane unveils the grift and outlines a plan to liberate our future.
