The Grift

The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump

De: Clay Cane

Narrado por: Clay Cane

GRIFTER [grif-ter] noun 1. a con or scam artist, a hustler or a sell-out

After the Civil War, the pillars of Black Republicanism were a balanced critique of both political parties, civil rights for all Americans, reinventing an economy based on exploitation, and, most importantly, building thriving Black communities. How did Black Republicanism devolve from revolutionaries like Frederick Douglass to the puppets in the Trump era?

Whether it’s radical conservatives like South Carolina Senator Tim Scott or Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, they are consistently viral news and continuously uphold egregious laws at the expense of their Black brethren. Part history and part cultural analysis, The Grift chronicles the nuanced history of Black Republicans. Clay Cane lays out how Black Republicanism has been mangled by opportunists who are apologists for racism.

Black faces in high places providing cover for explicit bigotry is one of the greatest threats to the liberation of Black and brown people. By studying these figures and their tactics, Cane exposes the grift and lays out a plan to emancipate our future.

Amazing and Truthful

This book “The Grift “. was one of the best historical book I have ever read, Clay truly open my eyes and ears to the republican Grifters throughout our American History….Thank you Clay Cane…

The original progressives were black republicans.

It's a fair critique of the modern black republican and how they would give it all for the proximity to power.

The truth!!!

Mr. Clay Cane beautifully uncovers the black Grifters in the republican party. With historical facts and interviews with current and former members of the republican party. Clay paints a perfect picture of who they are and their twisted agenda. After reading "The Grift" I now have a clear and convincing picture of the agenda of the republican party. The same as it been since the end of slavery. White Supremacy. Great read

history has repeated itself time and time again let's change the truth

This book is so concise it was enlightening it was truth bearing and if this country will return to what God intended to be and not erase any of it or sweep it under the rug this country will change and the healing will begin.
